    Crab Rangoon 6 and Egg Roll
    Jeff O.

    I've order from Plenty through GrubHub and it is fantastic! Honestly, the portion for the price is amazing and the sesame chicken is delicious. I also really liked the crab Rangoon. Highly suggest checking them out. Update: I found out they have a parking lot. I might have to go in one day to pick up!

    Sweet and sour chicken
    Courtney M.

    The sweet and sour chicken was extremely over cooked. The batter was hard you could beat it on a table and would not break. The batter to meat ratio was 20:1. The chicken was literally a thin, short piece of dry meat inside of the batter. I could not even eat the chicken. I also had the shrimp fried rice which was good. This is now the 2nd occurrence of this meal in this manner.

    I been here 4 times food is ok not great but ok yesterday's i expend $35 when I pick up my order I ask the owner cook or werever it is..... for hot sauce he gives me 4 pk of soy sauce I ask him again for hot sauce he said in the bag ok when I came home I check the bag ready to eat and was more soy sauce wth I live few block from the place was thinking go back smh but soon I will bring the soy sauce to this greedy liar man

    Disgusting burnt fried shrimp 4-5 pc small order bbq pork and egg foo young not eaten yuck
    Kim C.

    Update owner will not give a partial refund offered Yo bring all the food in - do not order from here much better in the. Area sorry I gave them a shot. worst food I have ever had- fried shrimp was double fried, rubbery chewed and only middle piece edible. Shrimp egg foo young was rubber and gross. Bbq pork smelled old - none of this was eaten. 35 bucks down the drain-

    Orange chicken
    gery i.

    Okay so my first and last time ordering from that restaurant... !!! I ordered door dash and i got : Orange chicken -tasted so sour and super soggy not even a little crispy, also was 30% meat 70% soggy batter!!!! Beef and string beans - the beans were good but the beef thick and chewy!!And literally 4 pcs of beef ! Veggie rice- was the best thing from my order ( thanks God so at least i had some dinner)!!!!! Pot stickers -very weird filling some meat looked like raw and i had only one peas in mine so i just threw it away. So gross but the dipping sauce was so far the worst sauce I've ever tasted!!!!! Super flat flavor of both Chicken and veg- OMG that was the top of the grossness it was slimy and super thick sauce didn't tasted much thick weird chicken and a couple veggies around! Worst meal in a very long time !!!! Definitely don't recommend that business at all because for me that was the worst Chinese food I've ever had (and I thought that was Panda Express but that is even worse)!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next time I will check the reviews first obviously consistently the food and service suck! Also i took 2 hours to get my order and i live in Jefferson park!!!!! Don't waste your money , skip that restaurant!!!!! Shame for the restaurant business! That is clearly stealing money from the people!!!!!

    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.

If ever back in Chicago, I will definitely be look for Shang Noodle!

    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.
