    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.

    Nice and clean...

    This place is one of my favorite been ordering my food here for a very long time. My food is always fresh and cook to order. I really enjoy there jumbo shrimp fried rice Cook soft with no soy sauce.. And veggie egg rolls and some times I try new things and I once and a while order there chicken wings and spicy dishes. Enjoy.

    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!

    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.

    Prices are too high for the product. I've been going here for over 20 years and it's not the same.

    This is the place to eat in Chicago in my opinion, and has made every other restaurant look bad…read more it's the absolute best meal in the city, at a great price, with a super awesome staff. I bring everyone i know here at some point. Only negative thing to say is that i no longer feel anything about anywhere else that I eat. Im okay with that though, because in my opinion this is how you run a restaurant. They are always full, but it is always worth the wait!

    Sunday Funday with a fantastic first visit to a Chinatown gem!…read more I felt like Chinese food today, and rather than eating at my neighborhood regular, I wanted to go straight to Chinatown for the most delicious, authentic experience. Thanks to my deep dive and discovery on Yelp, MCCB turned out to be the perfect spot to achieve this. The restaurant has held its Michelin status for five years now, and for my first time visiting, the flavors here were incredible. Please note: the restaurant signage is not easily visible from the street since the storefront faces inward toward the mall plaza, and while looking for it, I ended up asking a local man and his wife for directions. He was so kind and welcoming that he unexpectedly left his wife on the sidewalk, my husband in the car, and walked me right across the street and into the mall to point it out from the inside! WAIT TIME: there is a 1 to 1.25 hour wait period to be seated for a table, and a $10 fee via credit card is required to secure your spot, which is then fully transferable to your bill upon checkout. The wait is a great time to walk, explore the shops, restaurants, all Chinatown has to offer, and get your steps and miles in! SERVICE: our first server, Allen, was a bit on the stiff, curt side, but overall nice. However, we had to move from a two-top table to a four-top to accommodate all the dishes we were trying. In that changeover, we were blessed to get one of the BEST servers there, Ashley, who made the experience wonderful. FOOD: we ordered an absolute feast, starting with three starters. The Cheng Du Style Dumplings were fantastic. The Crispy Crab Rangoons were actually not mini at all and had a great crunch. The Szechuan Style Cucumber was a bit underwhelming and a slight bit on the soft side for my tastes, as I prefer my veggies crunchy even when cooked. We ordered everything with the mild heat option so there was no overwhelming spice, just great flavor. For the main dishes, we started with the Cauliflower Flank Steak and added broccoli to it, which was a fantastic addition. It is cooked in an oyster sauce and has none of the standard sweeter seasonings of the other dishes. I chose this to balance a sweet and salty rationing across my dishes, finding that MCCB is a great place to get that perfect balance. The Chicken in Spicy Garlic Sauce was perfect with the mild heat option as well, and the Honey Black Pepper Flank Steak was also incredibly savory, tender, and good. We paired everything with garlic string beans, white rice, and a great jumbo shrimp fried rice. I preferred water, while my husband had a few Diet Cokes. The food comes out hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. PARKING: parking is convenient--there is street parking or you can use the two north and south lots within walking distance. The north lot is on Archer and Wentworth, and the south lot is on Cermak and Wentworth. Validated parking is permitted for a maximum of 3 hours, and you will only pay $3 with the validation. Just make sure to stay within that time limit and get it validated, because if you go over the 3 hours or forget the validation, you will have to pay the full price for the lot. PRICE: the pricing here is very reasonable for a Michelin-recognized restaurant. Our dinner came out to just under $146 total, which offers phenomenal value given the large portions and top-tier quality. If you are seeking high-quality, delicious Sichuan food in Chinatown that completely lives up to its multi-year Michelin status, and can be customized perfectly to your spice comfort, this is a great place to go. Highly recommend and will return with family!

    As soon as you open the door, the smell of delicious food hypnotizes you. It's really hard to…read moredecide what to order because everything looks so good! For starters, we tried the Deep-Fried Pork Belly. It had a crunchy exterior with a dusting of chili powder, while the meat was incredibly tender. It came with a sweet chili dipping sauce that balanced the heat of the chili powder perfectly. I don't have much tolerance for spicy food, but I kept going back for "just one more bite." It was that addictive! For the main course, we tried the Mongolian Beef paired with Egg Fried Rice. The beef was so tender it practically melted in your mouth, and the vegetables had a nice bite to them--the perfect combination. The egg fried rice had just the right amount of garlic and egg, and it paired beautifully with the beef. I can't forget to mention the service. I felt like I was at my auntie's house--warm, welcoming, and genuinely cared for.

    Great food but slow service! We got a few items such as the chicken lo mein ($19), red chicken…read morechili :($19), 2 order of steamed soup dumplings ($18), string beans ($14), eggplant ($16) and the quality was great and super authentic. However the 30+ min wait for the veggie orders came after the entire meal when every thing was ordered at the same time, they somewhat rushed us at the end so they can sit their regulars, and the steamy soup dumplings were small and stuck to the paper wrapping and not served w the traditional ginger. The seating and place was clean- I just be prepared to wait and skip on the dumplings since it wasn't the best quality.

We ordered like the PERFECT amount of food and best variety. Roast duck: I honestly don't know if I've ever had duck before, but I'm a duck believer now. The skin on theirs was the perfect crispy shatter texture and the duck was sooooo juicy! I don't know why I was always so worried about it being gamey. They give you fluffy steamed bao buns, a sauce, and scallions on the side as well as duck fried rice! Turnip cake: Obviously a must any time I come to dim sum. I've never seen turnip in any other form than this. Japanese salt & pepper tofu: My FAVORITE dish ever. Any fried salt & pepper tofu always makes me happy. They use a creamy egg-like tofu and the outside is lightly crispy with amazing aromatics stir fried in. Steamed white rice on the side is perfect with this. Loved everything else my dinner buds picked and we were super full by the end! Service was good and food came out fast and scorching hot! ***Parking in the area is treacherous (not the restaurants fault, but reconsider driving if possible bc cell signal can be zero to none around the garages if you get lucky) ***Their website allows you to request a reservation as long as it's 3 hours before your desired time. We came on a Saturday evening around dinner time and there was plenty of room for us to get a table immediately as walk-ins!
