    Ambiance: 5/5 Good size restaurant w tables for small and large parties. Service: 5/5 Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Food: 5/5 My Place was the OG spot for Chinatown-goers! So happy they are once again back in the area! Food is still pretty good and very fresh. The dish name in English sounds weird, but highly recommend the Saliva Chicken lol (only if you enjoy spicy dishes). A couple of their most known dishes include the salt and pepper squid and mango sago. HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking those out too. For a no frills, quick n easy, yummy lunch/dinner, My Place is definitely the place to go.

    Beef chow fun

    Myplace was the place to be back in 2015-2017. Everyone remembers when it was located in Chinatown square. Then it got moved to Wabash and now it's back in the Chinatown area. This time, it comes with free parking in the back! Myplace has a unique breakfast menu, lunch menu, and regular menu items. I enjoy the breakfast menu because it comes with a drink. I like to come here when I just want a simple meal. No frills, no extras, just simple food. Myplace has a lot of the traditional hk style food items like French toast, beef brisket noodle, lemon tea, etc. I would say that Myplace is friendly for all ages! Whether you're meeting up with friends or having a quick bite, Myplace is the place to be. For food, the noodle never disappoints. It's flavorful and good portion size. A popular item would be the beef brisket rice noodle! It warms you up on a cold day. I also like getting the iced lemon tea! So good! When I went with my friend the other day, we got beef chow fun, curry beef over rice, and fried mantou. We were so full by the end of the meal!

    098. Shredded Roasted Duck Rice Noodle Soup, D01. Milk Tea

    Ambiance - mid level noise restaurant filled with families and couples looking for a light and fast lunch Service - it was super packed on a Monday for lunch, felt like I had to fight for servers attention Food - 10/10, generous potion of shredded duck and the hor fun was cooked to how I like, soup was also steaming hot! Their milk tea is my absolute go to!

    I grew up in Hong Kong and cafes (cha chaan teng) like My Place have a very special place in my heart. There are seemingly not many places like this in Chicago anymore, especially after the pandemic. Certainly even fewer that hit the intersection of fast service, affordable prices, and most importantly, delicious food. In my opinion, My Place fulfills all those criteria. While it's not quite in Chinatown, I really like their location especially the free parking in the back. This restaurant has excellent specials with breakfast from 11-2 and then afternoon tea from 2-5. For one price, you can get a full-sized meal plus a drink! Some of the entrees I really like are the Portuguese Chicken baked rice and the Satay Beef noodle soup. My favorite drink is their Hong Kong milk tea which is probably some of the silkiest and most authentic I've had in Chicago. The best part? These specials are available on weekends. Service is going to be as-expected for a Hong Kong cafe; you have to get the staff's attention or else they're just going to walk right past you. Once you get tell them what you need, they'll take care of it really efficiently. You know I'll be back soon. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 4.75/5 Ambiance: 4.25/5 Overall: 4.5/5

    Shredded chicken and corn with baked spaghetti

    The perfect Hong Kong-style cafe with huge tables! This place was absolutely packed on a Sunday lunch around 2pm. We were able to fit 12-15 people! Their menu is such a great deal, especially for breakfast and afternoon tea sets that come with a drink. The service was efficient despite our huge table. Shredded chicken and corn with baked spaghetti ($8.95) 4/5 - creamy yet light at the same time! A generous portion of shredded chicken baked with cheese on top! I always love any baked dish from an HK style cafe. This could've used a bit more flavor though! Ovaltine drink 5/5 - comes with the set menu! Such a nostalgic drink! Hot is included, but you can pay an extra $1.50 to have it served cold.

    The restaurant is bigger than it looks outside. Part of their menu is like the Hong Kong cafes with milk tea, congee, noodles, etc. There are 2-3 large round tables with lazy susans that can fit 10 people like the traditional Chinese restaurants. At their new location on State street, there is a parking lot behind the restaurant or paid street parking outside which is convenient. I came for their afternoon (2pm-5pm) menu which is a bargain. The set menu comes with a drink, toast, scrambled eggs, and an entrée. The portion was definitely dinner size portions. Their milk tea taste very authentic. The Portugese rice curry sauce taste OK. It is Chinese curry which is less sweet. This dish traditionally requires baking as the less step for the rice to soak in the curry sauce, but it felt like they just poured the curry on top. It is OK for a quick bite, but less of a showcase place. If I find the time, I'll try their breakfast menu next time.

    240. Pea Tips with Garlic , spicy cumin lamb, lemon pork(?? Forgot its name), a beef dish with wide noodles (but no wide, so we got thin)

    Homely cantonese place, so good!! Quick and good portions. Good selection of dishes too. Def come w friends! The hk news tv is a great touch lol adds to the vibe

    If your looking for Hong Kong style breakfast this is the place to go! They offer free parking but not a lot of spots. It was packed when we went but we got seated pretty quick. Restaurant was nicely decorated with pictures of HongKong. Great friendly staff. I ordered Fish Ball Noodle soup and Ham and Macaroni soup. Both broth were very tasty , felt like I was in HK. As for the drink I ordered Hong Kong style Milk tea and Ice Lemon tea both fantastic. The only thing I was not a fan of is how the food came out. First they would come out with one dish 5 mins later and so on but other then that great experience. So much more I want to try , I'll definitely be back.

    100. Satay Beef Noodle Soup
    Quincy C.

    Great setup indoor and outdoor with great deals on unique cantonese food! Price $12 including meal, tip, and drink. | Rating 9/10 Pros: Unique dishes, Low price, good drinks. Cons: None. Girlfriend brought me here for "Tea Time" and we decided to sit outside. The whole places feels lovingly designed with a modern feeling but also quaint things like lazy susan and plants on the rails. Service is basic and that is perfect for me. Staff will take your order, refill your drinks, and leave you in peace until you want a bill. The food and its price was the true winner! For $9 you get a large rice or noodle meal with a drink! The dishes are not basic Ameri-Chinese food either. The Portuguese Chicken baked rice was one most different and delicious things I have tried with a mild spiced curry on top, plenty of protein, and a side of toast and egg! Incredible deal under $10. Highly recommend this place on any of their special dining meals and I bet their standard meals are worthwhile too!

    Small restaurant located outside of Chinatown. They have a breakfast menu and an afternoon tea menu which they priced generously. You get a dish and a drink for $9. Service was okay. Food was okay. I got the duck noodles soup. Broth was pretty good. The Hong Kong milk tea was okay. I would get this combo again.

    Satay beef vermicelli
    Irene Kitty L.

    Haven't been to my place since they moved from Chicago Chinatown to Wabash and don't think I will visit again. When we first arrived there was no greeting. Not very friendly. We got the afternoon tea special for $8.95 and not very good. Both of our drinks Yin Yang (coffee and tea) and lemon honey smelled bad. My hubby ordered the beef brisket noodle soup and it was so little and not great. I ordered the satay beef vermicelli and it was tasteless and noodles were mushy. Overall I was super disappointed and I probably won't be over back again.

Love me some sushi, so I was excited to try the California roll, although it was hard to justify it being $18!!! The crab was very minimal, as you can tell by the pictures... it was missing the classic California roll taste given barely any meat. The Mac and cheese side was good. Nothing too special. plus. But standard is the best word I can think of. Shareable portion, which is a plus. Service was excellent. The server was friendly and personable. Ambiance is great, it's an elevated crab house aesthetic. There is a dress code to enter. Overall, I can't say we had the experience of the price we paid. They gave us free the dessert sampler for our anniversary, yay!!!

My partner said the steak sandwich was the best they ever had. The filet was easily the best steak I've ever had though the dry-aged ribeye at Abrasado in Mendoza, Argentina is a close second. The grand martini was a perfect pairing for the chilled seafood. They threw in a complimentary brownie with ice cream for a bday dessert which was appreciated on multiple levels.

This was quite the contrast with the service at Bar Mar for dinner the night before where the server made no attempt to make the night special. We ordered the Blueberry French Toast and the Chilaquiles. The french toast was superb, being thick, fluffy and sweet.
