    $9.86 w taxes. Sweet and Sour Chicken Dinner Comes with egg roll. Sweet and Sour sauce is in a separate container and not pictured. - A foam takeout container contains fried rice and battered fried chicken pieces. The fried rice appears seasoned and is placed on one side of the container, while the battered fried chicken pieces occupy the other side. A person's hand holding a white plastic spoon is visible, with some rice on the spoon. The background suggests the meal is being eaten in a vehicle, with part of a seat and a person's arm visible.

    Dinner special for $9.86 w taxes. Lunch special is a little cheaper. Egg roll included. Sweet and Sour sauce is in a separate container and not pictured... Some of the finest asian cuisine I've ever put in my mouth. Been going here for 15+ years ‍

    Not impressed but also not surprised. Ordered the chicken and broccoli lunch special. The egg roll was pretty good. The chicken heavily breaded and there was only 3 small pieces of broccoli. The shrimp fried rice had almost no shrimp and even after pulling the shrimp out of the hot rice the shrimp was cold. A one time visit for me..

    Fried pot stickers

    Okay it may not be gourmet and the owner may not be the friendliest person in the world, but the food is tasty and it's served hot in record time. Which is good enough for me! Recently I ordered some pot stickers (fried, not steamed) and they were piping hot and extremely fresh tasting. I was so taken with them that I added some extra change to the tip jar and the lady was extremely appreciative. So if you're planning on getting a carryout, please leave some extra change in the tip jar because not only will you get some delicious food at rock bottom prices, but it will be served in a timely manner. Think of it as a small thanks for some hardworking people doing their best to scrape by!

    The only thing worse than the food was the attitude of the woman who took our order. There are much better options in the neighborhood.

    The orange chicken was soggy and I couldn't eat it. The potstickers were alright. New to the area and I wouldn't go back.

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

    Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen

    (224 reviews)

    North 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.

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! So I decided to try Shang Noodle, tucked away on a side street off Grand Ave., just steps from Michigan Ave. It's a little off the beaten path, down a short flight of stairs and a block down. As soon as I walked in, nearly every seat was taken. The place was lively, energetic, and a bit boisterous, but in a good way. I figured that was a good sign that the food was good! At first, the host wanted to seat me at the bar, which I politely declined. I noticed a small single table open, pointed it out, and he kindly let me take it. No tude! My server was efficient, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations since it was my first visit. She suggested the pot stickers over the hot and sour soup, and the beef Chow Fun instead of chicken. The pot stickers were a little small, but very tasty. I also asked for some sweet and sour sauce, which paired nicely with them. For my main dish, I ordered the char-grilled beef Chow Fun. The portion size was generous, and the char-grilled beef had great flavor. A few of the noodles were a bit firm, likely undercooked, but overall it was still 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 considering the portion sizes and location. I'll definitely be back, though next time I may try lunch instead.

We ordered the roasted pork, Peking duck, and beef lo mein, and everything came out quickly. The highlight was easily the Peking duck, which was carved tableside right in front of us. Even better, the remaining duck was transformed into soup and fried rice included with the order, a satisfying (and delicious) bonus that made the experience feel complete. The roasted pork was perfectly salty with a crisp exterior, yet not greasy. The lo mein came with a bowl of soup, and while the noodles were a bit different than I expected, the egg noodles were still flavorful and the beef was tender. One standout detail: the chili oil. Most spots keep it fairly mild, but this was hands down the hottest I've ever had, and seriously packed with heat. Completely full and buzzing with lively chatter, it's easy to see why this place has been around for years and remains a local favorite.

I didn't think the others are worth the hype. Ambiance is modern, nice noisy & busy.

Buns, soup, noodles, rice etc.
