    Absolutely amazed with how good the food is! Housemade braised beef noodle soup was flavorful, delicious, meat was very tender and melt in your mouth. Also tried the seasonal duck confit vermicelli and the meat was also very soft and fell off the bone. Ingredients are different than what they normally use on the regular menu so it was worth trying and was not disappointed. The appetizer chicken wings with sweet potato was light, cooked in beef tallow. The highlight was the ranch dipping sauce which was also housemade! They also have a few different options for desserts and all housemade as well. Can't wait to return and try their Sunday brunch option.

    I have been wanting to try Minyoli for a while, and few weeks ago the opportunity came over for it. And undoubtfully it was A-MA-ZING. My gf ordered the flight, and there was a person explaining to her what every glass is made of, the notes and the process that made it . The waiter was amazing, he was on everything and making sure we were doing great. The place wasn't loud and good to enjoy time with your friends without yelling. For appetizers we got different things, like the popcorn chicken, the chicken wings, tofu and century egg, braised beef and kelp, radish and tofu. Everything was amazing and love all of it. For main dish I got the jajamien, that I completely finish it quick since it reminds me the classical taiwanese food on china, so it is great to know there is one around the city to eat whenever I have a craving for it. And for dessert, the ice cream taco was on point, I was sketptical at the beggining but once you try it, it all make sense, the flour tortillas, with the ice cream and some crunchyness, was unexpectedly amazing. Full score to this place A+

    Came here to check out their Sunday only menu. If you prefer to sit inside the cutesy Asian decorated restaurant I highly recommend reservations in advance or else they can only seat you in their back patio which is clean but lacks charm. The foods came out very fast so kudos to the chefs. Our waiter however provided bare bone minimal service. The popcorn chicken was a good start as its light batter and perfectly seasoned profile provided a promising start to what we were expecting afterwards...a handpie (must use the added sauce for flavor) and the hose special sesame noodle served cold was very underwhelming. Had a very starchy aftertaste in my mouth. Sadly i wished I had come in on any other day except Sunday to try the main menu items. Sorry this one fell flat for me.

    What a treat! I usually don't find a well made Taiwanese beef noodle soup. And when I do, I could literally eat this all day. The broth was rich and flavorful. And the beef was melt in your mouth tender. The noodles were cooked to al dente. I'm even salivating as I'm writing this review. I would definitely recommend trying it!

    4.5/5, phenomenal and cute spot for lunch. Warm, hot noodles with a super clean interior. Staff was super friendly. Friend street corn was quite tasty, and something I haven't had before. Big fan of the overall flavor level and seasoning. Sesame noodles were also good. One very small complaint I had was pointed out by our server. "The sesame noodles taste great when you order the chili oil and add it", which is true, but I also tried it and the noodles tasted pretty meh without it. I wish the noodles just came with the sauce included instead of having to pay extra, bc the jump in flavor was so much I couldn't really imagine eating it without. Again, super minor gripe

    tried the restaurant week brunch and it was a good time! our server whom also helps run the business was very nice. it was a fun experience to try a taste of taiwanese food! portions were smaller for the 4 course tasting menu for restaurant week. our favs were both brunch drinks, the shao bing, and the mala noodles! they also offered us a complimentary apple sidra drink for my birthday celebration which was very kind.

    This was my second time at Minyoli, and it was even better than the first! We went as a group and split a few dishes. Even thought the restaurant was busy, the service was was quick and attentive. They were good about refilling our waters which I appreciated. We tried the corn, the sesame noodles, and the vegan mushroom lu rou fan. Even though the corn was a side dish, it might have been my favorite! The corn was so tender and I LOVED the garlicky, sticky coating. It was soooo good! The noodles and rice dish were also both very good. The lu rou fan rice dish was on the sweet side and was really good when you add chili oil. The sesame noodles were also so great. I love that there are veryyy good vegan / veg options! This is a spot you can't miss if you're in Andersonville!

    Now that it's winter time, nothing like warming up with authentic Taiwanese soups and noodle dishes! The Four Gods Beef Noodle Soup is milder than the Red Braised version, but both have generous amount of beef. Highly reco the Signature Snacks, especially the Taiwanese Fried Chicken bites and Luiwei Veg Platter Pineapple tart with prickly pear ice cream We did an earlier reservation on a Friday night. Service was exceptional. Especially appreciated the server explaining the different dishes so our table could have a variety. Impressed our guests who were from Taiwan too.

    My goal is to try 50 new Chicago restaurants in 2025! Restaurant: 32/50 Month tried: June Favorite dish: TBD Was really bummed when we walked in to Minyoli on a Saturday morning and they were only serving their brunch menu, which doesn't have any noodles on it!! Well, they have one cold noodle salad, but really not what we were expecting walking into a restaurant known for their noodles. Even sadder - I did not like my chicken and waffles. It was a very unique combo of flavors, and could have been good except my waffle was completely raw inside. This is where my promise to rate every new restaurant this year is tough - I don't feel like my opinion of Minyoli after one brunch is very fair. I very much want to come back during dinner and actually have some noodles. I'm hoping to do that soon and update my review.

    First off, the service here was exceptional. My friend and I sat at the bar and our waitress was so fun, informative, and answered our questions with enthusiasm and great detail. I got a rice bowl - the beef Lu-rou-fan- and my friend got the four gods niuroumian. We shared the popcorn chicken. For drinks I got the Taiwanese pineapple beer and she got the sour plum house soda. A few thoughts: I wish my main had a bit more of the beef + mushroom and less rice. The popcorn chicken was delicious and we both enjoyed the plum powder but do wish it was a bit more hot + crunchy texture-wise- the chicken was room temp and tasted like it had been sitting out for a bit. Our drinks were good although my friend did note that she wished there was more carbonation to her house soda. Overall, Minyoli is a cute spot with great ambiance and amazing service and we enjoyed the different flavors present in the dishes we ordered.

    Amazing experience overall. We made reservations for Saturday evening; got sat quicky-- the space is beautiful and simply decorated. We ordered mocktails: nightmarket fruit stand and sour plum.. both we good and had unique flavors. We got fried chicken as an appetizer and it was super good, so much flavor and easy to eat. I could of eaten the whole thing by myself. Our entrees-- were fantastic. We ordered the spicy tallow and the beef noodle soup with tendons. The soup was excellent and the tendons just melts in your mouth. The beef broth was the best I've had at a restaurant (perfect for fall weather). Finally, we ordered the cheesecake, it was good but not memorable. I look forward to trying other items on the menu in the future.

    Anisa and I went here, and when we picked up a Taiwanese Fried Chicken piece with curiosity and placed it in our mouths, our eyes bulged with excitement, and our lips pursed with a smile. Taiwanese chicken is a popular street snack at night markets, and has a dusting of star anise, cloves, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, and fennel seed. The chicken bites are itty bitty, but are still somehow magically juicy inside. We asked for suggestions and were educated about the Red-braised Niuroumian Soup Noodles, which is made with a 24-hour beef bone broth. You get a choice of a full portion of beef, tendon, or half and half. The pickled mustard greens stood out to me in the soup, as they added a brightness and acidity to the rich beef and bone broth. I am already looking forward to the leftovers, because they will be just as good, if not better. The Ganban Noodles are served hot in winter and cold in the summer. The colorful room brought some brightness and warmth to a cold Chicago winter, and the warm-hearted staff did too.

    Restaurant week visit! For $45, I felt the dinner was excellent. My favorite was the fried chicken rice and the beef noodle soup. While the broth lacked a little depth, the noodles themselves were soooooo good. The starters were fine, nice to help fill us up. The tiny slice of pie was also fine but nothing crazy amazing. I would absolutely come back. Service was a little slow but everyone was so friendly.

    Is there a phone number? I can't find one. Seems sketchy? And the hours are different than their website, everything seems suspicious.

    Honestly, it is super weird, I do believe they do not have a phone number. However, I can confirm this restaurant is real and very nice, on the main street of Andersonville.

The short ribs came paired with white rice with an amazing sauce. And the salt and pepper beef is to die for.

I'd ordered Homura, and stepped away to wash my hands. Just as I was sitting down, the bowl of hot fresh goodness was placed in front of me. Even when the place was busy, the service remains lighting-quick! friendly and attentive too! As for the bowl, it was absolutely fantastic! Upon mixing, everything went together perfectly. The flavors were tremendously savory and rich, with accents from the egg, seasonings, veggies, and a healthy amount of meat. The noodles were cooked perfectly too! The bowl was perfect as is, and needed nothing. I was worried the bowl would be dry, but this couldn't be farther from the truth, especially with the ladle of liquid on the bottom, everything was perfect! Now, there are various seasonings and flavor enhancers on the table, but they weren't needed, in my opinion. If you do choose to add some, be careful, as some pour fast and heavy! After happily slurping this thing down in record time, I also ordered a single helping of Chashu, as I generally love it and wanted to try. It too was brought to me in no time, and was thin, well balanced, and melted in my mouth. Where it comes to value, the bowl was $13.50, and the slice of chashu was $1.50, IIRC. Great, especially in light of what everything costs nowadays. Final verdict: Kajiken came, and it DELIVERED. Everything from start to finish was top notch, and for a very fair value of $13.50 for a fresh, tasty, and filling bowl of goodness.

This time, I sat down for a full meal, and overall I enjoyed the experience and would definitely return. This place gets packed, especially for the smoothies. The restaurant itself is a decent size, but the tables are very close together, so seating can feel a little tight. The ambiance is pretty simple and nothing overly memorable. They have a faux greenery wall with the restaurant's name on it and the smoothie counter area when you first walk through the doors. One thing I will say is the menu is HUGE. They have an overwhelming amount of options, which can honestly make it hard to choose, but at the same time I do appreciate that there's something for everybody, especially for picky eaters or people craving different kinds of dishes. I ordered the Thai curry shrimp, and it was honestly delicious. The shrimp were large, flavorful, and they gave a good amount. I didn't expect the green beans in the curry, but it actually worked well with the dish. My only complaint was that they should give more white rice with it because I ran out of rice quickly and still had a lot of curry left over. My boyfriend ordered the orange chicken. I personally thought it tasted really good, but he felt it was just okay..nothing to rave about. His brother got a Pad Thai dish and cleaned the entire bowl, so I'm assuming he really enjoyed it. After dinner, we ordered smoothies, and they were pretty good as well. One thing I found interesting was the service style. You order directly with your server, and there are staff members standing around if you need anything..you can literally raise your hand and someone comes over quickly, which I appreciated. However, the food delivery itself was a little impersonal. Workers push carts around with multiple tables dishes on them and stop from table to table dropping food off. I'm assuming this is common in Chinatown restaurants because I've seen it before, and while it's efficient, I'm not sure how I feel about it service wise. It felt less personal, and I did notice food sitting open on the cart while stopping at different tables before finally arriving at ours. Overall though, the food was good, the portions were solid, and I'd definitely come back again.

The kimchi fried rice was very good as well too. The beef short rib is sweet and slightly lemongrass flavored. This whole meal is for the sweet and slightly savory palette. The garlic noodles honestly had way too much garlic on them. But once I ate it later in the day it was good. When you sit inside the price that you see on the menu will not be what you're charge you will be charged $23 instead of $16. Definitely clarify if that is the sizing price, we assumed we got dinner portions. You do get more than enough to take home.
