“The food is not as great when mom and pops had it. But I do understand the son, got to learn how to do exactly what the father and mother was doing. My egg foo young it was very salty, and that was something that I never had, as long as i've been going to. The king wok i was very disappointed. Half for the food went to the garbage. But I will give the son a chance.“

“I’d been wanting to try Yao Yao for a while, and it was worth the visit. The space is modern with a menu centered around its signature pickled fish soup. The portion was huge and the broth had a satisfying spicy kick. I also loved adding the vegetables to soak up all the flavors. The twice-cooked pork was another solid dish. While the menu is more compact than other Sichuan restaurants, this is the spot if you are craving pickled fish.“

“First time in Chicago china town. I ordered beef noodle soup and I enjoyed that. The food preparation was fast and the food itself was tasty. Atmosphere can be cleaner than this but it was acceptable. Very nice spot if you want something tasty with reasonable prices.“

“updated review:
combo fried flat rice noodles were pure perfection! sichuan wonton and fried rice were also top notch. the dongo chicken special we had was flavorful but we didn’t know it was served cold. overall, the place is excellent and the server was friendly
opon our second visit we also ordered the dry chili chicken, flat rice noodles, sichuan wontons, and wonton soup. the egg drop soup was the only we didn't like but everything else was 10/10!“

“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!!!“

“Some of the best dumplings I’ve ever had, and for a surprisingly decent price! We got soup dumplings, XLB, a couple different types of fried dumplings, and the cucumber salad — all incredible, truly no notes. Quick and friendly service, plus free water and sauces (which were also very good).“

“The best Chinese food I’ve ever had! You can tell it’s a family-owned restaurant. They can be a little serious at times, but I believe that’s simply part of their culture. Don’t miss the opportunity to try their food—it’s absolutely delicious! 10/10!“

“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!“

“The first seafood boil I’ve had was a good one here. I went in mostly curious and ended up fully committed once the pot hit the table. The shrimp were easy to peel, the crab had real flavor, and the sauce clung to everything without turning heavy. Messy in a satisfying way, and somehow it kept getting better as it cooled a little 🙂“

“Dim Some House is a standout destination for anyone craving authentic and flavorful dim sum. The variety and freshness of the offerings are impressive—each dumpling, bun, and roll bursts with perfectly balanced flavors and textures. The shrimp har gow and pork siu mai are particularly exceptional, steamed to perfection with tender wrappers and juicy fillings. Everything arrives piping hot, and the pacing of the meal feels just right, allowing you to savor each dish at your own rhythm.
The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, with attentive servers who keep the tea flowing and make excellent recommendations for first-timers. The restaurant’s clean, modern setting adds a nice touch without losing the traditional charm that makes dim sum so special. With outstanding food, friendly service, and great value, Dim Some House easily earns a five-star rating—it’s the kind of place you’ll want to visit regularly and bring friends along to share the experience.“

“This place has that old school character that you just don’t get everywhere anymore. The food was honestly the highlight, with generous portions that felt well worth the money. I also appreciated how friendly and welcoming the ladies were, especially when communicating with people who don’t speak the language. Nothing felt awkward or rushed. Just good food, kind people, and a relaxed atmosphere that made the visit enjoyable.“

“EDIT: Eight more years have passed and we’re still regulars about quarterly…the staff now recognizes us if it’s not too busy! They’ve steadily spiffed the place up decor-wise, and have moved the stage to their third floor to maximize dining space.
Fine place, come here several times a year for dim sum.“

“Excellent dumplings. Loved the fried ones.
Scallion pancakes were okay - a bit dry for me but not terrible.
Really loved the noodle appetizer. It’s massive though and designed for a few people.
Would go back for the dumplings.“

“This is actually one of our favorite restaurants in Chinatown, it’s really underrated.
They have a great selection of breakfast and Chinese dishes: the Chong Fun (rice rolls) and Sauerkraut Fish are some of our favorites.
There’s also a good selection of drinks.
It’s a huge plus that they aren't as crowded or hectic as other restaurants in Chinatown Square.“

“This was my third time visiting, and my second time visiting with my husband. On our first visit and today’s visit we had Jose as our server. Jose was so friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. He had asked my husband if he wanted a disposable bib since he was wearing a white shirt (which we thought was hilarious) but he explained that it was from personal experience and I would’ve never considered something like that for this type of meal, my husband accepted the offer and needless to say his shirt was spotless and mine was not. During our first visit we had our 2 toddlers with us and he never made us feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed because of the kids and was very understanding and respectful. I cannot recommend him enough if you stop at this location. Thank you Jose for making my birthday dinner special!“

“A very delicious and authentic restaurant. The service was pleasant and attentive. For the first time in five years, I finally had real 锅包肉 and 地三鲜, although the 家常莲菜 was a little too sour and a bit soggy. Still, I will definitely come back here again!“

“Food is fresh and excellent. I find it to be one of the best in the area. Non greasy, good flavor, service is ok, but when they attend to you, you have their undivided attention. I have been there a few times, and it does not vary. It is also very clean, with large tables and booths.“

“Great quality Hunan cuisine for Chicago! Service can be slow and it's kinda out of the way from the popular Chinatown area, but they don't skimp out on authentic flavors and generous portions. Some of the favorites were the cabbage, spicy pork and chili beef.“

“I really don’t understand why the review of this restaurant is not high. I went to this restaurant with my boyfriend and it was an amazing experience❤The food was soooo delicious and it taste like authentic Chinese food(I had lived in china for few years, I promise they taste same or even better)! Also, my boyfriend is kinda picky for the food ingredients so we asked for some modifications for menu and the lady was so friendly to take care of all of our requirements. It was such a warm place to enjoy true Szechuan food. I am sure I will come back to Chicago to try the other menu from this restaurant!!“

“Been eating from here a while now. At the beginning the food was always good but lately the food has been off, lack of favor. Tastes watered down. I can only speak for the fried rice because thats what I mainly order. Not sure if they have a new chef or what. But please bring back the favor.“

“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.“

“Had a great experience at Asia Buffet & Grill! The food was good, and there were plenty of options to choose from. It can get a bit busy, but it’s definitely worth it because you can try a variety of dishes and enjoy whatever you’re in the mood for. Great place if you like having lots of choices in one meal!“

“Incredible food and wonderful customer service! Our lovely server recommended the egg tofu with pea tips and beef short ribs with black pepper sauce. And she was right! Both dishes were authentic and satisfying. The tofu was so flavorful and the beef was tender. The owner shared with us that this is the oldest Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. We will definitely be back to support!“

“went last night with my son. very rushed. I ordered a meal with spring rolls as an appetizer. they came with my meal, not before. my son ordered a chicken and rice meal, took a bitr and hated it. they refused to take it off my bill. 88$ for a meal for my sonnamd I and he didn't eat his meal. didn't offer another meal or anything. other restaurants would have made it right. theives. my left overs leaked through my bag going home. nor happy. we also felt obligated to tip even though server was rude and dint know about the 20% charge that's automatically charged“

“Hidden gem. It’s in a supermarket food court, so set your expectations for the environment and decor. It’s not gonna be the most classy place that you would go for food. Both the clay pot rice and bbq duck are great! The bbq duck is probably the best you can find around Chi town. There are many older Cantonese people going there for lunch and they all know the owner personally - a very strong sign for authenticity.“

“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💐“

“Excellent Chinese takeout with the biggest egg rolls. Generous portions too and authentic Hawaiian fried rice. Heard about this place for years and finally tried it. So glad I did. This place is a real gem and so glad it is a hidden treasure.“
