    Seafood soup noodles and fried fish fillet
    Phillip B.

    While visiting Chicago me and a group of friends came to this good hall looking for food. I enjoyed this place for the many options. I forgot to get the name of the restaurant but it's located at the end of the hall on the right side when you do down the stairs. The food was delish and loved the environment

    This place has the best variety of street Chinese food. And I truly appreciate the touch screen for ordering. This really helps for the language barrier between the customers and vendors. I appreciate the variety of foods. However, entering in, there were two questionable homeless people and smell of urine before you enter the basement. The fans were filled dust and there was lack of napkins. I don't mean this in a bad way. Growing up, our Chinatown were similar. Merely stating as a precaution for non-Asian tourists visiting the place. With that said, this place is very authentic with amazing food selection. I ordered a beef scallion pancake, which was handmade fresh by a married couple. They had condiments of soy sauce, black vinegar and chili oil.

    Half of my hand rolled, hand cut dumplings. 14.00 at Richland Center.

    So Chinatown was amazing and fun. There is a newer section and older section. We explored both. I really wanted to go into one of the old school Chinese restaurants and sit down to a full course meal, but my wife told us about Richland Center over in the newer section. We had to get directions because it's basically an unmarked building, down a set of stairs, into what locks like a basement. We found a paradise of any kind of Chinese food you could ask for. There were about a dozen walk-up restaurants in Richland Center. We all headed off in different directions. I headed over to the dumplings. The little walk-up was called Gourmet Duck. I ordered the beef and onion dumplings. I watched a wonderful lady prepare the dough, stretch the dough, and cut my dumplings precisely, all by hand. I'd never seen fresh dumplings prepared right in front of me. She then heated up her wok to about 1000 degrees in a couple of minutes. I had 2 orders, 30 dumplings freshly made, in 5 minutes. All for 14.00. I shared with my family. I love dumplings, and these were some of the best I have ever eaten. The experience alone was worth 14.00.! I only wish I'd taken more pictures. If you like real deal Chinese food, this is the place to go. I will go out of my way to visit here again.

    The food court might look a bit simple but lots of hidden gems. Jue Wei ya ba wang is bold, spicy, delicious. The beef tendon is so tender, doesn't stick to teeth, easy to chew, love it. The bao and sticker place to the right of it is a mom and pop shop, lovely couple, very friendly. Their baos are huuuge! Like bigger than my fist, and dare I say I don't have little orange fists, mine are bigly lolol and they r delicious. The dipping sauce is premade with vinegar and a bit chili oil, just makes everything better. Ky Lin Teppanyaki had been there since Richland Center opened. Great food, and they keeps expanding and enhancing their menu. Can't go wrong. Rest, I haven't tried the others lol Restroom looks a bit haunted so... maybe go before coming down stairs lol

    Dumplings

    Place is cool how it is hidden underground but the food stand that we went to was not that great. The lady taking our order and cooking the food was super rude and had no patience, she also didn't really speak English so that didn't help. Everything was freshly made , you can see her go to the back making the dumplings, etc. but honestly wasn't anything super special. The dumplings were ok, the lamb stick was tasty but had a lot of fat. There were also no utensils or sauces.. had to go to a different food stand to get that

    It's been a long time since we stepped down into the lower level food court here.  The small appliance store (WM Trading) we were looking at is in the midst of this food court, so out of convenience we picked up a lunch item here.  It's a no-frills food court, nothing fancy and a bit spartan, but the food values like much of Chinatown looked pretty decent.  There are dumpling shops, noodle shops, a tea shop, and a couple of hair salons.  That was not an all inclusive list fyi.  I will review our lunch stop at the Four Seasons Noodles food stand separately, but from what I saw I would not hesitate to return here for a no-frills quick and casual food court lunch if that were to be in our mind.

    The best dim sum dumplings in Chinatown! Lamb skewers are also so good! Superior quality and price. Cozy dining atmosphere with multiple different vendors. But this lady's got them all beat. Last vendor on the left. She's top notch. Order online, too. Fantuan. Come here... Downstairs... several tables to eat at and shops. 312-493-7887

    We always overlooked this place and thought it was a bit run down. To my surprise, the food stalls in the basement are actually very authentic and reminiscent of street stalls in China! I would say that this is a great place to go if you just can't decide on what everyone wants to eat. You can get s great variety of small dishes here for a reasonable price. We got some handheld breads, spicy dry pot, and fried chicken steak. All were delicious!

    Takoyaki!

    This hidden gem found on the basement level of the Richland center has some of the cheapest food you will find in Chinatown let alone Chicago. The food court set up makes it convenient to mix and match small plates from different vendors. The majority of the vendors sell the typical Chinese fare consisting of rice boxes and noodles dishes, but there's also a Filipino food vendor. This review is specifically for the takoyaki at Kyu Lin. When you come down the stairs, walk straight then to the shop furthest to the right in the corner. The takoyaki comes in two sizes: 6 or 12 pieces. I recommend getting a dozen because it's cheaper and you can't just eat 6 -- they're that good (I mean, the best you're gonna find in Chinatown) For those who aren't familiar with takoyaki, "tako" means octopus and "yaki" means cooked/grilled/fried. These octopus balls are a popular Japanese snack made with a wheat flour batter and stuffed with octopus, scallions, pickled ginger and tempura bits. They are brushed with a Japanese Worcestershire sauce and mayo then covered with bonito flakes and a seaweed powder. Love at first bite -- the exterior is golden brown and crisp while the inside is creamy studded with chunks of octopus. I've tried their okonomiyaki, which is a savory Japanese pancake, but it was mehh. Skip it and use that money to buy more takoyaki!

Between the constant plate-scanning and the 'AI' tracking my vehicle, you've turned a simple shopping trip into a privacy nightmare. ​I'll be taking the 'convenient' route of shopping online or driving to a suburban mall that still understands what 'free parking' means and doesn't treat its patrons like test subjects in a tech lab.

The building itself is stunning -- modern, clean, and full of thoughtful amenities that really elevate the living experience. It's clear that a lot of attention has been paid to both the design and the day-to-day experience of residents. I truly felt like I was joining a community rather than just renting an apartment. The staff continues to be helpful and attentive, and I'm so glad I chose Lincoln Common as my new home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality living experience in a vibrant neighborhood! Cannot say enough positive things about the staff! Oscar, Jenn, Alyssa, Tehera & the entire staff are amazing!
