“My mom and I were in Chinatown looking for a place to have some great fried rice. Yao Yao came up when we searched Google and then we stumbled on it as we were walking so we decided to give it a try. It was clean, spacious and the decor was so cute! Upon reading the reviews further, we found out that this place’s specialty is their pickled fish and that it’s a Michelin star restaurant but we didn’t end up getting it. We ordered their shrimp fried rice with extra veggies, their shrimp Lo mein and their chili chicken. We were disappointed about the fried rice as it barely had any flavor and the shrimp for both the fried rice and Lo mein was lacking in flavor. We kept adding soy sauce and chili oil to make the rice taste decent but the other dishes were good! The chili chicken was very delicious and full of flavor!! We would go back again for the Lo mein, the chili chicken & to try the pickled fish next time but not the fried rice.“

“Vito welcomed my friend and I with such love and generosity as soon as we entered! It's quite pleasant and considerate of him to note the heat outdoors and ask if we would like a cup of cold water to cool us down while we made our order decisions. He provided us with first-rate service, and the food arrived quickly! Vito makes this a destination worth traveling to for the purposeful, excellent service alone! I would strongly advise anyone to visit this place! And Vito, thank you very much!“

“If you are looking good Chinese food in the west loop this is for sure the spot. The staff was very friendly and did a great job at explaining the menu option, they were very accommodating to our diet restrictions & ensured we were satisfied with our meals. I had the tofu and has been one of the best ones I have tried even my known vegetarian friends were a fan. If you have a sweet tooth and want to try something trendy the drumsticks ice cream is also very recommended.“

“This restaurant truly brings the authentic taste of Sichuan! Every dish is full of flavor – spicy, aromatic, and cooked to perfection. I especially loved the Kung Pao Chicken, Mapo Tofu, and Pickled Fish – they taste just like in China. The staff is very welcoming, the place is clean, and the prices are very reasonable. A great spot for family or friends to enjoy a real Sichuan dining experience. Highly recommended!“

“I ordered the BBQ Grilled Pork ribs since that's the only thing I find familiar to what I've eaten before. It was good, a nice taste to it and the water was refreshing.
If you're in San Diego go try Phil's BBQ in Sports Arena Blvd.“

“From the minute we walked in everything was wonderful. Our server was friendly and beyond accommodating. As was the chef when we requested a dish not on the menu. The food was exceptional. The best Chinese food we’ve ever had in the suburbs. Definitely compares to Chinatown.“

“5 stars for service, food and overall experience! If I could rate it 10, I would. Food was outstanding. Great flavor and perfect temperature and wow, the service we received was amazing by our waiter, JULIA. She was the absolute sweetest and made our experience 10 times better. I had not been to this location but myself and my husband were blown away and will be back. My kids and whole family loved it and even forgot to take pics. Thanks JULIA you were amazing with us especially our little Luca who we were celebrating his 2nd birthday!
Kid-friendliness: Super kid friendly! We went with our 8 month and 2 year old kids and they enjoyed the experience.“

“The most delicious AND the most inexpensive restaurant in Chicago?! Sounds impossible, but it happens here. Add in warm, attentive hosts & authentic atmosphere, and what more could you want! A generous portion of roast duck over noodles in soup for $10. Add roast and bbq pork for another $1.50. Try the XO sauce, if you've never had it. Enjoy!“

“The only downside I have is that it’s awkward to eat in a busy train station. While it IS in a mall, the bottom floor where this is at is home to red and blue line transfers. It’s nice when you want to stop by and eat, but it’s not so nice when people are running a foot away from your face catching the train. Other than that, friendliest people I have met. Literally insisted I did not tip them with the widest smiles. Juicy flavor on the inside with crisp textures on the out. Will come here again on my busy commute back home.“

“This place has great food and is a great value. A few years ago, it was about the same value as all the other Chinese restaurants. Then, those other restaurants chose to jack their prices up 50%. However, Northern Taste did not fall into that greedy trap. As a result, it now not only has really tasty food, but it is also a great deal. In addition, when things aren't right, they are very apologetic and do what they can to make things right. I definitely recommend you try this place, especially the lunch specials!“

“We were next door having wine, but passed this place on the way and circled back once we got hungry. What a hidden gem! We got three plates which left us perfectly full. The wontons and dumplings were thin, with a generous amount of filling and in perfectly seasoned sauces. My friend got a noodle dish and at first we were concerned they would be dry, but were delighted to find out there was a hidden serving of a very tasty sauce under the noodles once mixed. Overall would gladly come back and definitely recommend this for a date night or quick bite out!“

“Been coming to the spot for the past year and I can say its very delicious! I'm a sucker for asian food especially Chinese and this is the best chinese restaurant in the area (including La Grange). Prices are great, the staff are very friendly and efficient. Food made always on time and so tasteful! I been to many chinese restaurants before and this one if by far my top 5. Try to take advantage of their lunch specials also! This place is always a hit, love their rice, egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken AND they have some delicious beef chow fun. (Photo with the shrimp and egg roll n rice is a lunch special plate)“

“Great dumplings and bao. Try a little of everything especially if you get to share . Order at the kiosk and wait for your number to be called. Self service and clean up. Be kind and share your table seating especially during busy times when tables are hard to come by.“

“I've lived in Chicago for over 70 years. The last time we visited Chinatown was over 10 years ago. We decided to check out Emperor"s choice restaurant on Wentworth/Cermak. The best decision ever. Hank was a awesome waitperson! He even brought out 5 different noodles for me to pick out the one I wanted. From drinks, appetizers, and main entrees, everything was delicious and worth the price which was quite reasonable. We'll be back!“

“Mrs. Crespo: My husband asked me to give this place a try off reviews... We're a Spicy full household so trying new places is hard... Family of 7 so we order XL... In the past yrs started eating better... So clean and fresh tastes are important... At first was a bit iffy per the size of the wings... But then took into account the freshness of their food, taste and quality... We loved the flavor of everything... Crispy, not greasy... Extra soy blended perfectly into the rice... The egg foo young was fluffy and full, best looking sauce I've ever seen... It was smooth thick with a slight cream soup feel... Not jelly like... Not many places offer No Shell S&P Shrimp, love that they have the option with or without... No food coma zombies after, full but didn't feel gross... Delivery was on point... She said 45 minutes... In fact it was 45 minutes, including the 3 minutes it took me to give my order... A sweet older man delivered my order... The taste of the food reminded us of a China Buffet off Pulaski and Wellington.. Family owned, it was our wkly spot for over 20yrs... They watched me age into adulthood and watched my oldest 3 grow.. They've been closed for time now... But you're food reminds us of there... We'll be ordering again... Planning to stop for dine in as well...“

“Mapo tofu and scallion pancakes have long been on my bucket list and I was happy to see both of them on the same menu. Both were absolutely delicious, the mapo tofu wasn't very spicy but definitely mouth numbing as you'd expect from Sichuan cuisine and the portion was MASSIVE. The scallion pancakes were very nice as well, although a bit tough. Came here starving and left full and with like a kilogram of food left, got it to go and the lady at the register was super nice and fun to talk to. Overall great place, would love to try the other dishes when I get to visit again next week. Until then I will be enjoying the leftovers for the next 2 days 🫃🫃“

“This is my fav Chinese food spot around town. Their tofu is cooked well and everything always tastes great. Service is pretty quick too. I think most people order takeout but dining in is pretty chill too. Also, their prices are pretty reasonable. A lot of food that I usually end up taking home.“

“A literal hole in the wall, but a hidden gem. I’ve been ordering from here since 2010 and the food has always been delicious. The portions sizes are big enough for two people even if you order a small size. The lady at the window is always kind and happy to help. I definitely recommend ordering from here!“

“My family and I traveled to Chicago twice this year and dined at the Asian Cuisine Express both times. The owner, cooks and wait staff were all extremely friendly and made each of our visits a wonderful experience. We ordered Chinese and Japanese food and we also sampled some of their new delicious tacos... everything we tried was absolutely fantastic. We live 300 miles away so we ordered a lot of takeout to bring home with us to share with our friends who didn't get to make the trips. Asian Cuisine express will be a regular stop now for us every time we go to Chicago... we highly recommend everyone tries this restaurant and we can't wait until we visit there again. Thanks to all the great people at Asian Cuisine Express!!!“

“okay I am looking at the other reviews and the only thing that is a lie is large portions! there is no large portion! this is probably the smallest lunch special that cost close to $15 that I've ever had at any Chinese restaurant ever. you can go to a buffet and get all you can eat for $15. definitely a sample plate or portion for a child. I ordered to go and looked inside the container and was like WOW! NO I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. THE REVIEWS ARE LIES SMH however the food was good and the Cashier was a very pleasant young lady very pleasant💐“

“Had a light night flight and came in around 9 and they were still happy to do a take out meal for me. My food was hot and fresh and absolutely delicious. I got the general Tsos chicken and the strawberry cake for dessert. The cake looked like a piece of art and was amazing!“

“This place reminds me of the old Chinatown before COVID and the reason I used to go to Chinatown. It's, affordable with good portions, it has that older Chinese restaurant feel to it, yet clean, and the service is good with a fast waitress who has a good memory and doesn't need a notepad. Service is fast and the food is fresh and hot served with tea. Free parking close by. Highly recommend you check it out and if you like your food a bit spicy, ask for it and it will make a huge difference.“

“I’ve been coming here since 2005, and it’s truly top-tier. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and generous enough to last two or three days. What sets this place apart is the family behind it—they’ve made every visit feel personal. I’ve watched their daughter grow up, always helping out, and now she’s graduated college and is off pursuing her dreams. They always remember your order and do their best to accommodate. Just a heads up: call ahead to place your order—otherwise, you might be waiting a bit. But trust me, it’s always worth it.“

“This is the second time we've ordered from here, and the food tastes great.
We ordered KUNG BAO DELIGHT, and it was very tasty, and the portion was very large.
We also ordered COMBINATION FRIED RICE, and it tasted great, but I asked to make spicy, and they didn't prepare it properly.
We also ordered EGG ROLLS, and they were delicious and a good size, but the CRAB RAGOONS were good, but a little over-fried.
Highly recommended.“
