    Set menu offerings, circa Aug 2025.
    Howard L.

    After a 7 year hiatus, we returned here for another extended family reunion dinner with some out-of-town family. In fact, it was the same reason we were here last time. We were seated upstairs in their nice and spacious banquet room, and had a delightful, comfortable, leisurely, and delicious dinner for a group of 25. The main dining room downstairs also looks modern, welcoming, and comfortable as well. The food was all quite good and also a decent value. We had 3 tables and for each table, we had their set menu dinner for 10 for $249.95, pre-tax and tip of course. You can peruse the attached food photos if interested. Service was good and they also have smoothies, bubble tea drinks, beer, wine, and some cocktail drinks. What I also liked was with the big space upstairs, it was easy to take post dinner big group photos and it wasn't a bother for any staff or other customers. Thumbs up for a big group Chinatown dinner outing!

    Salt and Pepper Tofu
    Michael T.

    I have no idea why this place is rated at 3.5 stars. They are definitely 5 stars when it comes to food. The flavors are exquisite and texture of dishes very nice. The flat noodles I ordered had a very good wok hei (flambe flavor), crispy at the edges, soft on the inside. The salt and pepper tofu was delicious, with a crispy coating. We ordered eggplant in garlic sauce and it was so tasty. Firm with nice color and fragrant flavors, delightful! My wife also ordered the fish in tofu. It came in a clay pot. Very nicely cooked. Reminded us of food back in Singapore and Malaysia. The service is also great. Friendly people and very quick, despite a very busy restaurant.

    Soup dumplings
    Amy D.

    I wanted to love this place but the Shanghai soup dumplings didn't really live up to my expectations. The beef lo mein and pea leaves were good, but I can't say it was worth it -- especially when there are so many options to choose from in Chinatown. I enjoyed my time and the service was great. However, I'll keep looking around for the perfect soup dumplings. - AD

    I just left from this place i stood in line for 15 waiting for the cashier to take my order she made me wait just to not serve me and stated that she told me it was closing she did not . I am a black women she with the short bob is racist!!

    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.

    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.

    Men's sink area.

    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.

    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.

    Nice venue
    Tim H.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    This is the place to eat in Chicago in my opinion, and has made every other restaurant look bad…read more it's the absolute best meal in the city, at a great price, with a super awesome staff. I bring everyone i know here at some point. Only negative thing to say is that i no longer feel anything about anywhere else that I eat. Im okay with that though, because in my opinion this is how you run a restaurant. They are always full, but it is always worth the wait!

    Sunday Funday with a fantastic first visit to a Chinatown gem!…read more I felt like Chinese food today, and rather than eating at my neighborhood regular, I wanted to go straight to Chinatown for the most delicious, authentic experience. Thanks to my deep dive and discovery on Yelp, MCCB turned out to be the perfect spot to achieve this. The restaurant has held its Michelin status for five years now, and for my first time visiting, the flavors here were incredible. Please note: the restaurant signage is not easily visible from the street since the storefront faces inward toward the mall plaza, and while looking for it, I ended up asking a local man and his wife for directions. He was so kind and welcoming that he unexpectedly left his wife on the sidewalk, my husband in the car, and walked me right across the street and into the mall to point it out from the inside! WAIT TIME: there is a 1 to 1.25 hour wait period to be seated for a table, and a $10 fee via credit card is required to secure your spot, which is then fully transferable to your bill upon checkout. The wait is a great time to walk, explore the shops, restaurants, all Chinatown has to offer, and get your steps and miles in! SERVICE: our first server, Allen, was a bit on the stiff, curt side, but overall nice. However, we had to move from a two-top table to a four-top to accommodate all the dishes we were trying. In that changeover, we were blessed to get one of the BEST servers there, Ashley, who made the experience wonderful. FOOD: we ordered an absolute feast, starting with three starters. The Cheng Du Style Dumplings were fantastic. The Crispy Crab Rangoons were actually not mini at all and had a great crunch. The Szechuan Style Cucumber was a bit underwhelming and a slight bit on the soft side for my tastes, as I prefer my veggies crunchy even when cooked. We ordered everything with the mild heat option so there was no overwhelming spice, just great flavor. For the main dishes, we started with the Cauliflower Flank Steak and added broccoli to it, which was a fantastic addition. It is cooked in an oyster sauce and has none of the standard sweeter seasonings of the other dishes. I chose this to balance a sweet and salty rationing across my dishes, finding that MCCB is a great place to get that perfect balance. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic Sauce was perfect with the mild heat option as well, and the Honey Black Pepper Flank Steak was also incredibly savory, tender, and good. We paired everything with garlic string beans, white rice, and a great jumbo shrimp fried rice. I preferred water, while my husband had a few Diet Cokes. The food comes out hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. PARKING: parking is convenient--there is street parking or you can use the two north and south lots within walking distance. The north lot is on Archer and Wentworth, and the south lot is on Cermak and Wentworth. Validated parking is permitted for a maximum of 3 hours, and you will only pay $3 with the validation. Just make sure to stay within that time limit and get it validated, because if you go over the 3 hours or forget the validation, you will have to pay the full price for the lot. PRICE: the pricing here is very reasonable for a Michelin-recognized restaurant. Our dinner came out to just under $146 total, which offers phenomenal value given the large portions and top-tier quality. If you are seeking high-quality, delicious Sichuan food in Chinatown that completely lives up to its multi-year Michelin status, and can be customized perfectly to your spice comfort, this is a great place to go. Highly recommend and will return with family!

    I haven't been to a MingHin location in over 6 years, and after having dinner here last weekend, I…read morewish I could come back again tomorrow already haha. We ordered like the PERFECT amount of food and best variety. Roast duck: I honestly don't know if I've ever had duck before, but I'm a duck believer now. The skin on theirs was the perfect crispy shatter texture and the duck was sooooo juicy! I don't know why I was always so worried about it being gamey. They give you fluffy steamed bao buns, a sauce, and scallions on the side as well as duck fried rice! Turnip cake: Obviously a must any time I come to dim sum. I've never seen turnip in any other form than this. Japanese salt & pepper tofu: My FAVORITE dish ever. Any fried salt & pepper tofu always makes me happy. They use a creamy egg-like tofu and the outside is lightly crispy with amazing aromatics stir fried in. Steamed white rice on the side is perfect with this. Loved everything else my dinner buds picked and we were super full by the end! Service was good and food came out fast and scorching hot! ***Parking in the area is treacherous (not the restaurants fault, but reconsider driving if possible bc cell signal can be zero to none around the garages if you get lucky) ***Their website allows you to request a reservation as long as it's 3 hours before your desired time. We came on a Saturday evening around dinner time and there was plenty of room for us to get a table immediately as walk-ins!

    Please be advised, they do not take Apple Pay!…read more Both the egg yolk buns and shrimp friend rice were delicious! I went on Sunday afternoon and there were few parties dining in, so we were able to sit and get our food quickly.
