Hands down the best Chinese restaurant in all of Chicago
Highly recommend the dry chili chicken.
They even serve tea and spicy cabbage complimentary, sadly not every location does this but they really should.

The restaurant Closes at 12 midnight we came at 11:30 and the waitress said we cannot dine in. Still 30 minutes were left. How can they close the kitchen before their end time? They could have just let us in but they didn’t. Horrible and lazy staff

Ordered take out and was told about 15 minutes. Went into restaurant at 1015pm (had ordered at 10) and expected to probably wait a while longer. Finally received my order at 1045. There were only about 5 tables of customers at the restaurant at the time. Service was very slow, however food was very good.

A Fall From Grace! It is sad to see a once iconic institution operate the way it does today. The changes over the past few months have notably damaged the brand from this location.

Went there to eat some good spicy food with my girlfriend. The service was okay but the food turned out to be not that good. Kinda disappointed with the chicken. At the end they added gratuity by themselves (18%) even though it was just two of us and they had the nerve to ask for it again when paying off the check. Be careful going there.

I would never order from this place
The host person was so rude she hung up on me two times
Then when I ordered my food she wanted to charged me $25 from my food when usually I pay no more than $15 I ordered from the lunch menu
She refused to give me her name but she is working on 10/03/25 12:40 am, is not the first time she is been rude, you guys will loose customers because of her poorly customer service.
Very slow for delivery
Food was good, service was awful

We were served cold rice and rancid ribs among other dishes, which promptly caused stomach runs when we got home. Never going to this location again - other chains around Chicago we went to did not have the same issues

The food was incredible and the owner, Zhong, took such good care of us. Our favorites were the whole pickled fish, crispy duck, preserved duck egg, and eggplant with ground pork. Such a treat!

Really good and cheap! What more can I ask? Welcoming is also nice. Quick Service. The menu is very varied and a huge choice.
Could be really good or really bad depends on what you order. Don’t order the frog! Highly recommend the Dan Dan noodle❤️

Pretty bad overall. Chicken wings were undercooked. The beef soup was drowning in oil. Kimchi, green beans and the wontons were good. Friendly service.
