    Orange Chicken Kung Pao Shrimp

    Food was so gas especially the orange chicken - crispy, flavorful, a bit of a kick in spice (perfect), and fresh taste.

    Joshua V.

    Ordered vegetarian dish, with tofu, no egg & was brought a plain dish without tofu. Was yelled at for not ordering it clearly. Ordered green beans & they put chicken on it. Got yelled at for not specifying it should have been vegetarian.

    They even not mention without tax

    Thank you for sharing your experience -- it sounds frustrating and disappointing. Here's a clearer version of your feedback that you can post as a review or share with the restaurant if you'd like: --- **My Experience:** The food was okay -- not great, but not bad either. I parked my car at the nearby China public parking, which cost me \$2 for 3 hours. This restaurant is listed as part of the participating locations that validate or offer a discount with parking. We spent \$24.48 on our meal. However, when it came time to pay, they initially tried to charge us \$30. After I showed them the parking ticket and asked why the price was different, the staff changed their words and said it was "\$25 without tax." The situation made me feel really uncomfortable and disappointed. I ended up spending more money than expected. It felt dishonest and left a bad impression.

    We use to go to Lee Wing Wah as a family for many years. We haven't been there for awhile since they changed ownership. We decided to try it again. This place is spacious and have big tables, which was one of the draws, as we rolled 16-people deep this time around. They also have a large upstairs dining area, where you can hosts receptions, parties, etc. The food was great!! We had some shrimp/corn soup, sweet and sour pork shortribs (my favorite!), green beans, fish fillet with chives, whole chicken, and salt and pepper shrimp. All dishes were really good and my Asian family liked it a lot. Genuine authentic Cantonese guandong style approved! BATHROOM REVIEW: Located in the back the bathroom was pleasantly decent. This is Chinatown after all. Men's bathroom had one urinal and toilet, single-person sink, and a decent air hand dryer. Sit or squat? Squat.

    Came to explore Chinatown! We got the shrimp fried rice and chicken fried rice with veggie egg rolls. The egg rolls was okay just too much grease. The shrimp Fried rice was okay as well the chicken rice tastes a little funny my sister didn't like it. She wanted to take back the rice, but they was very rude because she didn't like it and wanted to take it back which they threw a tantrum about then at that watched me while eating which was weird. Service is horrible. Doesn't look that clean either.

    Nice venue

    What's with all the negativity on the service? I find that their dishes are some of the best I've tasted. And 4 full entrees- Clams, Seafood combination noodles, Chinese vegetable, and Beef Chow Fun, including tax, only cost $78 total. It's a restaurant in Chinatown - people usually come here for good food at good prices. We were served with hot tea and water when seated, and the waitress quickly took our order (don't recall her smiling, which was fine ). We enjoyed the overall experience, and will visit again when we are in town again.

    I'm not quite sure why this place doesn't have five stars as my family loves it. The staff are so friendly and accommodating when we request certain things be made vegetarian (meat withheld) and no MSG added. The portions are very large and the flavors are authentic. The price is also extremely reasonable. I definitely recommend ordering a family style meal and trying multiple things. As a vegetarian, the fried green beans and the salt and pepper tofu are a must!

    Ginger scallion fish fillet, walnut shrimp, salt and pepper shrimp, and chicken fried rice
    Tiffany T.

    My friends and I ordered a chicken fried rice, ginger scallion fish fillet, salt and pepper shrimp, sweet and sour tofu, and honey walnut shrimp. I really liked the bold flavors of the fried rice and salt and pepper shrimp! The walnut shrimp had a really good bite, but I wasn't a huge fan of eating sweet mayo. The fish fillet was decent too, but not my favorite. I think I would have preferred a more saucey fish. Overall, I liked eating here. We had big portions for a good price!

    DO NOT EAT HERE!!! My sister and I dinned in and the man who helped us had great service. We did not finish our food because it was a lot so we got a to go box and boxed our food up. When we got home we wanted to eat some more so my sister opened the box ate one piece and she saw a black piece of something...thinking it was a seasoning flake...come to find out it was a bug. I'm not sure if this is a roach or what specific bug it is but it was wedged between two pieces of chicken and covered in sauce. When my sister tried to call and ask for a refund and explain the situation. The same man that helped us said that it's a possibility that it did not come from them when in fact it did! He was no help at all in helping her cause us to write this review. She is sick to her stomach.

    Their menu is pretty extensive and they offer a variety of dishes. We had a party of 8 and plenty of space in their dining room to accommodate large parties. They even take reservations! Portions were large and we even had left overs. The crab rangoon was bland. Portion size and filling was on point, but just lacked flavored. The dumplings had a good amount of pork filling and the dough had a nice chewy bite. Be sure to top it with the ginger black vinegar sauce too! The steamed fish was delish with the black bean soy sauce. Our waitress even picked the bones out for us. Eggplant was in a flavorful garlic gravy. Eat it with rice and it's a comfort for me. Honey walnut shrimp was crispy and the sweet. The two dishes that stood out to me was the salted fish and chicken fried rice and garlic ribs. The rice was light and flavored just right and not salty. The garlic ribs were super meaty and finger licking good!!! All in all, the food was great, but not epic. I'd come back and try other foods on the menu though.

    My family likes to go to Lee Wing Wah due to the fact that it can accommodate our large family of 8 adults and 5 kids. We are usually seated and served right away. Portions are decent with reasonable prices. On January 3, 2024 my customer experience at this restaurant was HORRIBLE!!! My mother and I came inside to order for takeout. My mom (who is of age) needed to use the restroom right away and I told the lady (who was working the front) if my mom can use the restroom while I look at the menu and decide. Her response "only dine in and paying customers." I told her she really needs to go and her response "order first and I'll have restroom ready" like really??! I skimmed through the menu as fast as I could, gave her my order and credit card right away just so my mom can use the restroom and not her pants!!! We will never step foot in here ever again. Lee Wing Wah please learn how to treat every customer that comes into your establishment with professionalism, dignity and respect. Have a "people-first" attitude vs business.

    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.

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!
