Previous owner would be five star for food and one star for service lolIt used to be our go-to place for sticky rice, congee, youtiao, soy milk and hand-made noodlesIt was sold during covidI remember the good old day, doenst matter if you entered at 11am or 2pm, there will be a line, all the way from the front counter to almost to the door…now probably due to both covid a lot of ppl still stay in or most likely due to the fact the food are no longer good…We still go once awhile but not use toThey still have to same menu, price adjusted obviously but the taste is just not used to…The only good thing w/ the new owner is they finally take credit card, no more cash only but customer pay a fee lolPs. Don’t be alarm when a 8yrs old take your order lol Chinese style! We all worked when we were young hhaha

Have been here for breakfast during weekend a couple times. Love the cold dishes, very flavorful and authentic Chinese taste. Also always order the beef noodle soup and the fried dough stick with soy milk. The downside is that sometimes the food quality seems varies. Sometime food tasted like it’s been there for a while. But it’s still a good Chinese breakfast place in Chicago area.
Don't go to Nanbeihe after three o'clock because their manager said that the oil pan is turned off and the fried dough sticks are all fried before three o'clock, so the fried dough sticks you buy are all cold.The store closes at 8 o'clock. The oil pan is closed so early. I faint.
Enjoy Enjoy
This place may not be a comfortable restaurant, but the advantage is no tipping, decent food quality (around 80%), and affordable prices. It's a great choice if you just need a quick lunch. Chinese Cafe also maintains a good standard for some dishes, especially the salt and pepper fish, which is incredibly crispy and worth a try.Recently, the experience I had was that the kitchen completely messed up my friend's noodle order. My friend originally ordered A+B to share and mix with his wife, but the chef made it A+A. However, since it still tasted good, we didn't make a fuss. We're not sure if it was a mistake in taking the order or if the chef made the error.

If you like traditional Taiwanese breakfast food like fried bread stick, sweet or salted bean milk, flapjack with beef, seafood congee or fried pork dumplings. However I think the traditional Taiwanese breakfast is only offered on the weekends, call them to double check.I got the fried pork chops to go, I was disappointed on how little pork chops is in an order. I feel like it was half order size v
