    Service is friendly and the food comes out fast and piping hot. The siu mai was incredibly flavorful and larger than normal. The shrimp dumplings were juicy. Dumplings are served with two sauces -- a hot sauce that is very spicy and strong, and a hoisin-based sauce. The preserved egg with pork congee was bland and light on the toppings. There is lots of seating available and you can pay with card.

    Not on the menu, but they helped with knife and utensils for my birthday cake!

    We order a family meal set and it was a great deal! I was extremely affordable and we had leftovers to go. Some of the dishes, like the pork needed more salt or felt bland. But overall, I had a positive experience here! They were kind enough to help store a birthday cake we brought ourselves and after the meal they helped us with paper plates and the utensils. The space is spacious and comfortable!

    I've been coming here for years. The food is always high quality and delicious. Two of my favorites are the hot platter tenderloin beef and salt and pepper fish filet. I recommend coming here during a weekday before the rush hour. There's another place called Triple Crown but it's not the same. This is the ORIGINAL! You'll love this place.

    Very impressed with authentic family style Chinese dinner at humble @originaltriplecrown in Chinatown. Every single dish was served hot fresh and perfectly seasoned. Service was superb and prices reasonable. Highly recommend and definitely returning sooner than later. One of a few Chinese restaurants able to seat 14-16 people at a big round table. No bar but beer is served. Parking meters or Chinatown parking lot (validated discount $3 for 3 hours at participating businesses).

    This is the perfect restaurant for a huge group of people, as their round tables can fit up to parties of 8-12! This is your very very traditional Chinese restaurant, no frills with huge portion sizes! They give you so much complimentary food: a big bowl of white rice, a big bowl of comforting soup, and a red bean soup dessert (one of the best I've had in a while - not watered down at all). The prices were so affordable too, though a bit more expensive than what they list on the menu. The standout dish was the braised green pea sprouts in broth with century egg (上湯豆苗)!!

    07/07/23 - I was originally at Seven Treasures Cantonese Restaurant on Wentworth. After waiting for 42 mins for my order to come I finally got up & walked out. I walked down the street to 22nd Place & stopped in @ THE ORIGINAL TRIPLE CROWN RESTAURANT @ 211 W 22nd Place. I went upstairs and ordered & 5 minutes later my salt & pepper smelt w/jalapeños was on my table w/a bowl of white rice & hot chili oil. That's the was to do it 5 minutes not 42 minutes Very good food & service. They are also opened late nights & serve 1/2 sized servings & full sized servings. My wife works the second shift once in a while. We have stopped by and ordered 3 - 1/2 sized servings to share family style.

    Here it shows the beef chow fun plate NOT OFFERING small and large options.

    Pretty underwhelming unfortunately. While I do like that this place is open late, I went here last night around 10pm and I looked online at their menu and called to order my beef chow fun plate(pictures below show the pricing and size option for that plate-which it only comes one size for $10) the guy answers and is very quick in conversing with me (that's fine) but I tell him I would like beef chow fun and crab Rangoon ($6) and he answers back "small?" And I say "Yes small please" and then he hangs up on me as I'm saying "please" lol. Well of course when I get there my order (instead of $16-$18) is $26?!?!?! I asked the guy at the counter why it's $26 because the beef chow fun is $10 and crab Rangoon is $6 but the guy says "you ordered large beef chow fun next time order small" uhhh hello, I did order the small but you hung up on me lol. It's okay, I wasn't gonna argue especially if the food was good it'd be worth it to me. On the receipt it said the beef chow fun was beef broccoli with noodles and I asked him if that is still the beef chow fun I ordered even though it's labeled something else and he assured to me it was still beef chow fun in the bag. When I got home, i opened the food up and pretty disappointing unfortunately. Not only was I swindled and charged more than what I ACTUALLY ordered, but food was not that good at all. Disappointing sadly.

    Stir fried snow peas with garlic, braised oxtail with tofu skin, stirfried bitter gourd with preserved soya

    As a Cantonese from Canton who lived in NYC, LA, and SF, I rarely get surprised by Cantonese restaurants. But I was amazed by the food here. Fresh ingredients are a must, so it goes without saying that the oxtail, snow peas, and bitter gourd are more than satisfactory. The cooking style and flavour is authentic Cantonese, and not just in the modern way but the traditional way without adaptation to non-Cantonese palates. I wish there's a restaurant with this chef in Connecticut

    Fried Noodles with Soy Sauce?
    Susan Y.

    One thing about Chinese restaurant service is that they all lack great customer service, however you know the food is bussin when you eat there. It was hot as hell outside, but inside felt like a freezer. No matter where we moved, i was bout to turn into an ice cube shortly. We ordered 6-7 entrees, congee, noodles, different proteins & veggies. Things took forever to come out but you already know that's just how the service be sometimes. Overall, the food was good. One of the dishes was spiced to perfection, the one with visible onions/ I don't know what any of these dishes are called. But if you think this is what you want, just show them the pictures. They'll know! Ambiance ain't just a little loud, but business was poppin inside. I liked the congee, super refreshing per usual. We ordered two noodles, one looked pan fried, other stir fried. Stir fried just tasted like vermicelli noodles while pan fried noodles was crunchy and had a sauce. Would suggest if you're hungry at night & looking for something healthy to eat instead of fast food. Prices were fair and the works there did their best with the people they had. 4/5

    We stayed at the Airbnb across the street and found this late night gem easily. It was a fun experience. Loved the big tables with the lazy Susan. The food was all delicious. Be sure to try the crab ragoon. The staff was a bit slow but they were very friendly. Overall I just liked the option of eating yummy Chinese after a full day of Chicago activities.

    Located just off the main street of wentworth in China town. Minimal street parking i recommend a lot then walking around and exploring the cafes shops after you eat. Authentic flavors and a large menu with various dishes and dim-sum. There is family style menu as well as a la carte. Great lunch and late night menu, staff is friendly and prompt bring tea ams water immediately then making menu recommendations. Beef chow fun was good portion with alot of beef all very clean cuts. To compliment with I tried the beef dumplings all pan seared perfectly. Overall great value and portions and good service.

    We've been coming here for over 25 years. It's always a great place for a big group of people.

    We've been going here for years This is still a hidden gem for some delicious, affordable Chinese dishes you can have quality Cantonese food that they serve. It's located on the second floor not to be confused with the other one with the same name on Wentworth which is not the ORIGINAL one. Service was on point with Ken, and it's a BYOB, with no corkage fee since we always bring a couple of wines to pair with our delicious food. Ambiance is your typical Chinese restaurant, bright and spacious, clean bathrooms. Overall we keep coming back, and not too many know about this place which is nice and a hidden find for our family'.

    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.

    Went here on a whim last night after reading all the glowing reviews on Yelp. 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!
