Hole in a wall canto spot that's great for family style dinning. Byob is a plus! What to get: - sweet and sour spare ribs/pork (great tang to it) - enoki mushroom veggie stir fry - salt and pepper Japanese tofu (very crispy!) - lobster was fine, normal - beef ho fun was fine, normal - salt and pepper shrimp was fine, size was large - free range chicken was fine What NOT to get: - walnut shrimp (too much Mayo, shrimp is too breaded) - mapo tofu (southerners just can't get this right) - Szechuan green beans - curry beef brisket casserole (bland curry, gristly beef) - lamb casserole See a theme? Stick to the canto dishes and you will be just fine! We would come back for more fam bam dinners. 9 people with 10 dishes (and free soup at beginning and free dessert soup at end) was $190 + tip.

I haven't been here since the pandemic! I was really surprised that the food was still delicious and very tasty! The amount they give you is huge too! We had family style and all the food takes me back to my childhood days! The service was good and you can validate your parking for 3 hours and paid $2 at the parking lot on Wentworth and Cermak! It's a real good deal! The restaurant was pretty busy with a few large groups of ladies for a Saturday afternoon!

This is another lowkey restaurant located in old Chinatown. Upon walking in, all you see are regular locals eating here. They are well known for their rice clay pots, especially the eel one. Make sure to order ahead for this because it takes a little longer to prepare! While the eel meat is used in the rice dish, the eel bones don't go to waste! They are roasted and turned into an eel and tofu soup. It's super flavorful and milky (we were too excited for it and i forgot to snap a pic ~sadness). The rice clay pot came SIZZLING, and the server helped us mixed it and scraped off the crunchy rice all around the sides and bottom of the pot. It was so good, a must try if you come here. We also ordered salt & pepper squid, deep fried intestines, and garlic pea tips. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. Overall, if you are looking for a satisfying, yummy, cantonese style meal, definitely give Kam Fung a try!

Steamed egg

It has been awhile since we have eaten here and I forgot how good the food was. This time around we came for lunch and had a 10 course meal (unfortunately did not get a photo of all the dishes). This restaurant is good at the home cooked dishes and if you want to eat some good home cooking, this is the place. Steamed egg, minced pork, not typical dishes you find in the restaurants. The chicken was also done really well too, oh how I have missed this dish. Everything was good today. The restaurant isn't all that big, but there are large tables to seat big groups.

Clay pot rice

Kam Fung is off the main road through Old Chinatown, about half a block away from the hustle bustle. It didn't appear too crowded, although this was on a cold weekday night. Still, the restaurant got busy enough that they ran out of seats for smaller parties - we (a party of two) were seated at one of the banquet round tables made to seat 8+ guests. I had a good laugh because additional people came in and so the restaurant seated another couple across from us at the same table - a true Cantonese experience. That being said, I didn't have any complaints about the service. We had our order taken quickly and the food came out quickly as well. Food-wise was where everything shined. As others have mentioned, this place is known for their claypot rice, and it really is fantastic. If you order the eel one, they will take the leftover eel parts and cook it into a soup, which tastes very umami. The claypot rice perfectly stuck to the sides of the serving dish, creating a crunchy exterior that went perfectly with the small cuts of fish. We of course ordered a vegetable dish, which had a good flavor of wok hai. Portion sizes were manageable for two people, and we had ample leftovers with just these three dishes. Overall, I was very impressed with Kam Fung and am looking to come back soon. The claypot rice was perfect for the chilly weather, and it'll only get better as winter rolls into town.

Lunch special
Linneh M.

Love this place. It's like home to me. Favorite place to eat Cantonese / Toishan food. It's the spot to go to with family or for gatherings. I want to share their menu because they don't advertise much but please support. I swear best food ever. My favorite exotic dish is eel pot rice and snails. Their salt and pepper shrimp and chicken are absolutely amazing if you can't decide. They have a great lunch special as well.

This is the last time to eat here. If I could give zero stars I would. Came here for lunch were the dishes are smaller and discounted. We ordered 3 dishes. The first dish came out after 15 mins. We started eating and waited for the next two. Meanwhile a table that came in after us ordered a dinner for 6 had received 2 dishes before our second dish came. Our second dish came 30 mins. after the first dish. After 45 mins after receiving the first dish we were waiting for the waitress so we could cancel and get the check. That's when the last dish came. The food was less than par and could have saved the headache and had a full price lunch elsewhere. And paying discounted price doesn't get the same quality of taste and preparation. The salted fish fried rice was so salty we mixed a bowl of white rice with it. Yes the salted fish made it salty but they added more salt to the dish. The salt & pepper squid had so many jalapeño peppers we barely got much squid. The mustard green with beef chow fun had so much gravy that asking for crispy chow fun was a waste. Only a few pieces didn't sit in the gravy so it wasn't soggy and still had a bit of crunch. No more.

Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen - Shrimp Broccoli, Beef Tofu (hot), Egg Fried Rice

Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen

4.4(224 reviews)
7.9 miNorth Center

Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen is the underground emperor of late-night Chinese food in Chicago, the spot…read moreyour Uber driver, your bartender, and every chef in the city whispers about when they're truly hungry. Tucked into a no-frills corner on the South Side, Dai Yee's looks modest from the outside, but step in after 10 p.m. and it's pure magic. The room is packed with everybody--sneakerheads, nurses coming off shift, club kids, cops, and couples on first dates who somehow heard the legend. The vibe is chaotic in the best way: woks roaring, orders flying, and that unmistakable perfume of sizzling garlic, ginger, and chili filling the air. The food is straight-up stupid good. The Hong Kong-style salt & pepper smelts are crackly, spicy, and gone in 30 seconds. The beef chow fun has that elusive wok hei (breath of the wok) that most places only dream of, wide rice noodles slick with smoky char and tender flank steak. The black pepper beef tenderloin is velvet-soft, glossy, and aggressively peppery in a way that makes you order extra rice just to survive the happiness. The Singapore noodles are bright curry perfection, and the Mongolian beef is saucy, crispy-edged, and borderline addictive. Portions are straight out of the 90s--massive trays that could feed a family of four for under $15. Cash-only, BYOB, and everything comes out blazing hot in under ten minutes even when the place is slammed. The ladies running the show are legends: fast, funny, and they'll roast you (lovingly) if you can't handle the spice level you asked for. If you leave Chicago without hitting Dai Yee's at least once (preferably at 1 a.m. with a six-pack), you didn't really experience the city. This is real-deal, no-filter, soul-satisfying Chinese food that reminds you why we fall in love with restaurants in the first place. Dai Yee's isn't just a restaurant; it's a Chicago institution in the making. I'd wait in line in a blizzard for those smelts. See you at midnight.

Sorry I can't give you a 5 star rating but it's hard to judge on not eating your food

Such a pleasant, fulfilling surprise. By chance we stopped at Shang Noodle, looked in the window…read moreand was drawn inside. Atmosphere was great; a little noisy, but in a good way. Lots of friend groups and others, enjoying their together time, incredible meals, and just sharing together. Serious stuff: Ambiance was very inviting, letting all clientele the opportunity for unfettered enjoyment. Food was flavorful, sumptuous - just delicious and more than ample. Service; quick, courteous, attentive. Waitstaff proving good information on menu items and pairing suggestions. They checked on us several time, ensuring everything was to our liking. If ever back in Chicago, I will definitely be look for Shang Noodle!

Went here on a whim last night after reading all the glowing reviews on Yelp. Before that, I…read morechecked out a few eateries on the 4th floor of the Nordstrom building, but nothing really stood out, and honestly, none of them seemed very busy and the one restaurant Lao Sze Chuan was way too expensive, $30+ entrees were average and the place wasn't busy at all. So I decided to try Shang Noodle, which was tucked away on a side street off Grand Ave., just steps from Michigan Ave. It's across from the Nordstrom building, past Labriola's, down some steps and about a block away located on the south side of the street. As soon as I walked in, and I wasn't expecting this but the restaurant was extremely loud and nearly every seat was taken and everybody seemed to be enjoying themself, families, couples and groups. I figured that was a good sign and it signaled to me that the food was probably good! At first, the host wanted me to sit at the bar, which I politely declined because I don't usually sit at bars, also, I was there to eat, not pick up somebody! I noticed a small table open, pointed it out, and he kindly let me take it. No 'tude either! As far as my server goes, she was efficient, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations since it was my first visit and probably because I didn't look like the other customers who were more familiar with the cuisine. She suggested the pot stickers over the hot and sour soup, and the beef Chow Fun instead of chicken Chow Fun. The pot stickers were a little small, but crispy and very tasty. I also asked for some sweet and sour sauce on the side which I'm glad I did because it paired nicely with the pot stickers instead of that plain vinegar sauce they usually serve you. For my main dish, I ordered the char-grilled beef Chow Fun. The portion size was more than generous, and the char-grilled beef had a great umami flavor. A few of the rice noodles were a bit firm, likely undercooked, but overall though it was quite enjoyable. What I appreciated the most about Shang Noodle was the value. $18 for the beef Chow Fun and $9 for the pot stickers felt reasonable to me, considering it was on the dinner menu, the portion sizes were humongous and the restaurant was located on the Near North Side, which is usually quite pricey. I'll definitely be back, though next time I may try lunch instead, or go with friends of mine.

Finally my schedule, bank account, and the weather all lined up to try brunch at this West Loop spot. Like everywhere else at Fulton Market, be prepared for parking to be what parking is going to be here! There are some paid street spots, I also think there is a garage somewhere, and it is noted that Duck Duck Goat does not offer valet. The restaurant is in a super chic corner spot in Fulton Market, with a very picturesque little patio dining space out front. I had a reservation and arrived just a couple minutes early; we were greeted as soon as we walked in and taken to a table without any wait. I absolutely love the inside of this restaurant. Our table was a half booth/half chair two-top in the front window. There is so much rich color and decoration, and it really feels pretty intimate - I think this is a great date spot. The brunch menu has some amazing food options, and the service was very friendly but not overbearing. We started with an order of the crab rangoon to share between both of us, and then the pork fried rice omelette and the bacon and egg moo shu as brunch entrees. This is a dim sum restaurant and the plates are more of a style to be small bites and/or shared plates, and portion size definitely reflects such! Also because of this style, the dishes came out as they were ready, not all together "as entrees". The crab rangoons were incredible - the mascarpone filling is tart and bright to counter the briny crab and the pineapple sweet and sour is incredibly craveable. I will dream about this omelette for the rest of my life. The richness of the pork and the savoryness of the fried rice paired with fluffy egg, piled high with a texture bomb of accoutrements like crispy fried onions, (fresno?) chilis, and picked red onions. This is one of the best bites in the city. The moo shu had perfectly made sunny side up eggs with the richest egg yolks. All the veggies were cooked perfect, I loved the lotus root in the veggie mix. I love that our reservation wasn't rushed, and the service was really nice. We both said before even finishing our brunch that we wanted to come back and try dinner. Also a super cute touch, we were given complimentary little almond cookies after we were done. Thank you so much, Duck Duck Goat, for a wonderful brunch date! We will see you soon for dinner!
