    Veggie egg roll with a surprise - SHRIMP‼
    C A.

    I ordered only vegetables, avoiding meat and shrimp due to allergies and clear instructions. Despite this, I found shrimp in my egg roll. The restaurant asked me to call back in five minutes, then told me to wait until Monday. I won't return to such a disrespectful place that neglects customer care.

    93. Jumbo Shrimp Egg Foo Young Lunch Special
    Lisa R.

    Visited this place during lunch for the 1st time in some years. I'll start with the good parts: quick service. Yep, that's it! That's my The guy that took my order ended a phone call and just started at me. No greeting, just and eventual "yeah?" I stated what I'd like and he responded, "that's it?". Now for the food : This place only gives 1 egg foo yung patty, most places 2 in the lunch specials. It was a bit burnt and overcooked. The egg roll(not shown) was mostly shell, no filling -I fed it to the seagulls. The so called fried rice was flavorless and lacking. 4 specks of green onion, no bean sprouts, I don't think it touched any oil or a wok. The interior was shabby. Besides the person and the cook, 3 workers sat on their phones. This is a kitchen that I won't bother to see again.

    I am disappointed and out of $40 for an undercooked and under-flavored order with below average customer service. I ordered a large veggie rice, large shrimp fried rice and 6 chicken wings. I expected freshly cut vegetables (stalks of broccoli, cut tri color bell peppers and fresh cut onions). Instead they gave me fried rice with small cut carrots. I also expected the rice to be flavorful. Instead the rice was bland. The bite sized salad shrimp were deveined. I expected the chicken wings to be cooked to the proper temperature. Instead when I broke the wings apart, there was still blood at the joints. After recooking them in my air fryer for an extra 12 minutes, I didn't desire them anymore. This See thru kitchen location will not get my business in the future.

    Pepper streaks( where's they steak!

    So dissatisfied with the food . My mothers shrimpresario was totally burnt. My pepper steak was three pieces of steak and peppers and on are to big to cover up they didn't give me enough streak! Last time for food ! The boba tea I must say it good! pictures below f I didn't have to get my handicapped mother dress and back in the car I would send it back!

    Receipt

    We went to grab a quick bite at the See Thru in my new neighborhood. I used to go to the one on Cottage Grove. I paid and have a practice of checking my receipt to see if I was charged the correct tax. Sure enough, the tax was way higher than it should have been.(10.25%) I told the gentleman at the register and calculated the tax again in front of him. He kept saying he didn't know what the tax should be and to talk to the boss. I just wanted him to refund the difference. He cops an attitude so I leave. I have been noticing the last few years that fast food joints and some sit down places constantly charge too much tax. Some areas in Chicago can charge extra, not Beverly though. The rate is 10.25% ALWAYS CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS. These places are getting over. On top of all this, the food was just okay.

    Disappointed and disgusting! The EFY was greasy, shrimp chop Suey was okay but the shrimp fried rice was burnt with tiny shrimps. Forgot, the egg roll was little with no meat in the middle. Pass....

    My shrimp fried rice with a bonus.

    Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen - Shrimp Broccoli, Beef Tofu (hot), Egg Fried Rice

    Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen

    4.4(224 reviews)
    18.1 miNorth Center

    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.

Lots of friend groups and others, enjoying their together time, incredible meals, and just sharing together.

Service; quick, courteous, attentive. Waitstaff proving good information on menu items and pairing suggestions. They checked on us several time, ensuring everything was to our liking. 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.

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!
