Solid dinner here in Chicago Chinatown. We're visiting from out of town this weekend, and visited…read moreupon a recommendation from a friend. Our large group was accommodated easily, and we were served relatively quickly after an initial delay while we were waiting for someone to come by. Food came soon after that. We ordered a wide range of things: honey shrimp, beef tripe, pork intestine, Hong Kong style fried noodles. Everything here is solid and delicious. Portions are reasonable too. Ambience is nice, clean, and modern. Only issue while we were here is that some in our group tried to order their baked chicken over spaghetti and they were out of spaghetti. Interesting basic ingredient to be short on here, but rice was not a bad substitute. Would definitely come back here if ever back in Chicago!

Be prepared to wait a little bit for a table, or share a big one with another party at peak times. Prices are reasonable and portions are pretty generous. ===== Kind of lost count of how many times I've been. Love getting the dim sum and noodle dishes here. Some favorites: beef cheong fun with egg, siu mai, Singapore noodle, xo rice noodle rolls, spare ribs, pork and century egg congee. All the food has been very solid. Inside is always bustling and can be a bit crowded. Service is pretty friendly as far as Chinatown goes, and very efficient. There's a guy who works there who I think is the manager or something, because he puts in 200x effort and is always hustling. When he's not around it feels like something is missing. Prices are very reasonable and we like ordering a lot here so that we have tasty leftovers for later. This place has quite a few big tables and is good for large groups. My only nits are that very occasionally a dish or teacup will have a dirty spot, and that the bubble tea here is kind of meh. I don't remember exactly which one I ordered, but it was a little watery and lacking in flavor. It's also probably tough since they're boxed in by boba places now. Pro tip: When you first get your table, they'll ask you what kind of tea you want. If you ignore them or don't know how to answer, the default is green tea. Another one is to come at off-peak times. Not only will you get a table faster, but I think they tweak their portion sizes depending on how crowded it is. Definitely will be back! And I recommend you visit too

Go 4 Food in Chinatown has a large menu and a reputation for creative dishes, but our experience…read morewas mixed. The service was just okay. Communication was a challenge since very little English was spoken, and the descriptions of the dishes were lacking. I don't enjoy gambling on menu titles that sound good but end up being something completely different from what you expect. Some of the more familiar dishes were solid. The Kung Pao Chicken and Mongolian Beef were both pretty good and tasted like what you'd expect from most Chinese restaurants. Other dishes were much harder to understand, even after asking questions about how they were prepared or whether they were sweet or savory. We ordered the Sauteed Chicken in Hot Spicy Sauce Rice, which turned out to be very heavy on Sichuan peppercorns with a strong floral aftertaste. The chicken sat on a bed of what looked and tasted like deep-fried kale, and despite the word "rice" in the name, there was no rice in the dish at all. That's one item we won't be ordering again. We also tried the Fish Filet with Hot and Sour Lime Sauce. It was basically a sweet-and-sour style fish dish. It wasn't bad, but it leaned much sweeter than expected. Another thing to note: none of the dishes come with white rice--it's completely à la carte. We only found that out after ordering. With prices being what they are these days, it would be nice if they included at least some white rice like most Chinese restaurants do. Overall, the food wasn't terrible, but the lack of clear descriptions and communication made the experience frustrating. I prefer restaurants where expectations are clear rather than discovering surprises after the food arrives.

I really enjoyed the lunch special here (I got char siu and pork belly with rice-the char siu was excellent in particular). A couple of notes for next time, though...I felt like the lunch special was difficult to order, and the menu wasn't clear as to how it worked, so there were a couple times I felt like I was about to order a different item, or something that wasn't compatible with the lunch special and I don't feel like that was made clear to me. Additionally, for an order at the counter type place, they specifically press you on the tip and put you on the spot about it. Whether I intended to tip or not (and for the record, I don't think a tip is required at an order at the counter place), I didn't feel comfortable with being pressured, and think the customer service could use some work. Overall good though!

Despite the crowds, service was surprisingly fast and efficient. Food came out quickly, and the staff kept everything moving smoothly. As for the food, it was decent overall but nothing particularly memorable. Most of the dishes tasted about what you would expect from a busy dim sum restaurant--solid and satisfying without any standout item that would make me specifically come back for it. Still, if you're looking for a lively atmosphere, quick service, and a reliable dim sum experience, it's an easy place to visit with family or friends. Just be prepared for a crowd.

Ken Kee - Busy, No-Frills, and Gets the Job Done…read more Ken Kee feels like stepping straight into a classic Hong Kong-style spot. It's small, busy, a little chaotic in the best way, and very much about the food, not the frills. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic dinner... this is not that. If you want energy and quick, satisfying bites, you're in the right place. The menu is big, almost overwhelming at first, but that's part of the charm. There's something for everyone, whether you're craving noodles, rice, or something crispy and comforting. The kind of place where you point, order, and trust it'll work out. The food is solid across the board. Nothing overly fancy, but dependable, flavorful, and hits the spot. It's the kind of meal that leaves you full and content without overthinking it. Come hungry, expect a crowd, and don't overanalyze. Ken Kee knows exactly what it is, and it delivers on that.
