The orange chicken had a little spice to it which was very good with a nice sticky sauce on the chicken. Rangoons were nice and crispy, not greasy, with green onion in the filling = lots of flavor. We also had fried rice which came with a boat load of shrimp which was great because the kids tend to eat the shrimp more than the rice. Overall a great experience and exactly what I remember having gone to this place growing up - a northwest side institution in my mind for the past 20 years.

The chả giò are the best in the city. Maybe the continent. We've dined in as well. They have a cool cat robot that delivers the food to the table; my 6 year old loves it.

Overall review: 7.8/10…read more Very large inside space for hosting all kinds of quantities if guests. They also have a stage where I assume they have Vietnamese karaoke parties here from time to time. We had a server who wasn't Vietnamese take our order and take care of us mostly, however the girl who brought us our food (or should I say.. took the food off of the robot who got to our table) was definitely Vietnamese. Yes, this place does have robots that bring you food from the kitchen. Definitely did not expect that from a more hole-in-the wall type place such as this one. Onto the food: Egg Roll: Rating: 6.5/10 Subpar, incorporated several Ingredients. Greasy. The ratio between the meat and vegetables was disappointing. The egg rolls came loosely wrapped resulting in oil accumulating between the fold of the egg roll. This causes air pockets. Clearly, the egg rolls were not wrapped hard enough. They did not drain the oil. They just fried it and served it. Also, traditionally egg rolls are supposed to come with lettuce wrap and pickled veggies. What came to our table was the bare minimum. N26. Beef Stew w/ Egg noodle & rice noodle / Hủ Tiếu Mi Bò Kho Rating: 8/10 Was baseline standard good. It came with all of the fixings on the side such as the herbs. The beef was tender, but there was a lot more tendon than meat. Not a lot of actual beef. The soup itself was well-seasoned, but still lacked a little richness to it. Vermicelli Noodles Salad Bowl: N01. Pork, Pork Patty, & Shrimp paste /Bún đậu mắm tôm, chả chiên, thịt luộc. Rating: 9/10 Overall was a solid dish served how it normally would be, with the exception that we did not see the crispy shallots served with it even though it is apart of the description. In fact, the picture of the food on the menu they gave us looks different. We didn't have the little red chili peppers either. The pork patty was delicious. The sauce was well-seasoned. The veggies were fresh. The tofu, patty, and pork slices were well balanced. This was our favorite dish from our meal.

Whelp, this week, some friends and I were going to see a friends show nearby and I was like guys, I think I know a place... The restaurant is actually in a strip mall, just inside the entrance to a grocery store. Not sure if they're owned by the same people or not. You go inside the doors and then turn right before you enter the proper grocery store. It honestly doesn't look like much more than a room with 6-7 four tops. But service is great. They give you a menu with like literally 80 choices in it. They have everything from curries to bahn mi and everything in between. But the meal I used to get all the time was "#48" which is these thin white noodles with an almost crispy meat (I get beef but you can get pork or chicken too), fresh sliced veggies, a thin brothy sauce that I just poor on top, and an egg roll sliced into pieces. I know I didnt make it sound great, but listen, the combo all together is outta sight. Not heavy, but an ample portion. Not spicy, but just addictive. It's incredibly good. Only reason I'd give 4 stars is that one of my friends got a curry and wasn't in love with it. But my other friend got the 48 with pork and said it was excellent. In 15 years, that dish has not changed. So glad that the place is still there and that the food is still so, so tasty. Man, forget it. He ordered the wrong thing. Gotta bump it to 5.

Chengdu Impression in Edgewater has delicious food!…read more When you first arrive: The inside of the restaurant is massive. It seems to be setup to easily accommodate larger groups. I normally pick up my food to-go, they have sitting area for people waiting to pick up food. I've visited a handful of times and the restaurant is nearly always empty. The staff is always friendly whenever I go to pick up my food. They normally have the food ready by the time I arrive. I rarely have to wait long if it's not ready by the time I arrive. Food: I have yet to have a bad dish from Chengdu Impression in Edgewater. My favorite items to order are the General Tso's chicken and the pork pot stickers. Both items are always consistent and reheat well. I've also ordered the fried rice and I have no complaints. Chengdu Impression in Edgewater is my go-to spot whenever I want consistent food! Plus the ingredients always taste fresh. The food is reasonably priced because I always get a few meals out of my order. Overall: I highly recommend Chengdu Impression in Edgewater. The food is always delicious and you get a lot of bang for your buck.

It was so good when I had it in the winter because the soup literally warmed my whole entire body including my soul. I love supporting these small mom-pop stores because you know you'll always be treated well! It is very spacious inside and ton of free parking in the plaza. You definitely cannot judge this place just from its looks. I love coming here and tell my friends all the time about this place. I cannot wait to visit again when winter hits because you would need some home cooked soup to survive winter in Chicago. Overall, very solid place just slightly outside the chaotic city traffic for a nice meal that makes you feel like you're eating at home.

There is also nearby street parking for free The owners didnt really speak english and service could use improvement especially since it was a slow night (1 other table to serve besides us), but wasnt really expecting much tbh (stigma of authentic mom and pop shops amirite??). The ahjoomah owner was so cute and lovely tho when she checked in on us - theyre nice people!! With that said, our meal started off with a complimentary veggie pancake, which was pretty big for being a free offering. It was perfectly crispy and went well with the sauce. The banchans were pretty mediocre i thought - the veggies tasted a bit bland, kimchi was fermented but lacked sauce, and fish cakes were very salty, which im personally ok with We wanted to try the raw marinated crab for our first times so we got two flavors. The spicy one was not bad, good mix of sweet and not too much of a kick. The sauce was a bit too pasty and thick for my liking. The soy based one was extremely salty. Like to the point where I couldnt do another piece. I wouldve liked for the crab itself to have a bit more meat as I felt like I was just eating sauce (could just be a me problem tho to be fair). The texture and dish overall is not my preference haha. First time for everything tho! Finally we had the dubu kimchi, which i enjoyed - the kimchi goes well with the tofu together. This seemed to be their own style of the dish since it was a lot more liquidy than traditionally served (as pictured), so it felt more "stewed" than stir fried, which i was fine with. Great portions on this but less meat than I wouldve liked
