It's delicious, cheap, and open late. What more do you want? I ordered the beef with king mushrooms, it was very tasty

This place has HK style milk tea and its delicious. Got their beef with vegetables and beef with egg sauce. The egg sauce reminded me of childhood when i had it :D

“I absolutely love chi Café ever since me and my boyfriend discovered his hidden gem about four years ago.”

I absolutely love chi Café ever since me and my boyfriend discovered his hidden gem about four years ago. When I moved to Chicago? We order from them at least 4 times a month🔥 Food is always fresh made with love and most importantly they're open late night. We love the 420 and sip 🍻🍷a so it's always a great addition to have authentic Chinese food.🥡 they're very affordable and they have a large menu! The only thing that sucks is when they're busy they'll turn off their delivery services on Uber eats earlier than usual, but they are open very late. If you walk in they'll take care of you every time you can dine and take takeout or do delivery. Thank you for all you do for the community. ♥️ follow my page @AggiesAfricanEats 😘

“Late night Chinese food spot.”

Late night Chinese food spot. Really good food, small wait time but well worth it. Service is great every time we are seated. Everything is made fresh in house. Highly recommend.

“Great food at a reasonable price, and one of your only options in the area that stays open late.”

Great food at a reasonable price, and one of your only options in the area that stays open late. As such, they get crazy busy at night. They have a wide range of offerings, including a lot of the comfortable "Hong Kong" style dishes that most Americans are comfortable with. Their takeout estimates can be way off. My estimate was 15 minutes, but when I showed up, they said it would be another 40 minutes. They were slammed at the time.

“Place was bustling even past midnight.”

Place was bustling even past midnight. Totally worth the 45 minute train ride to Chinatown though for the good food and vibes! (Please try the honey citron tea if you're feeling a bit chilly – highly recommend!)

“Wish I knew about this restaurant sooner.”

Wish I knew about this restaurant sooner. Fast seating and speedy food delivery with no compromising on taste. I ordered the XO turnip, string beans, fish balls and chicken wings. Fairly simple food, but the taste was absolutely fantastic. All priced accordingly. The place is small with limited in seatings. But, the table availability turns quick.

“My new favorite late night cafe for heartwarming chinese food and delicious drinks.”

My new favorite late night cafe for heartwarming chinese food and delicious drinks. We ordered a lot of food: - wonton noodle with shrimp wonton (noodle is good, broth is warming, but shrimp wonton is ok) - chiu chow style bokchoy (delicious, would love to try other veggie dishes too) - fish stomach with chives (absolutely delicious and addictive) - beef satay (good) - lemon tea (best lemon tea in chinatown) They were out on some smoothie and some dishes so I wanna come back and try them some time. The line can be quite long during dinner time.

“The place is located where most of the Asian restaurants are in China town.”

The place is located where most of the Asian restaurants are in China town. It is by far the best Chinese food in Chicagoland! The food is always fresh and the portions are massive! They prepare the food fast especially considering how busy they get. The service also excellent! The prices are also very reasonable. It’s also a hidden gem considering how late it stays open (especially after a long night out). I have been coming here for years and always recommend this place. They never disappoint!

“For years this restaurant has been my go to spot in Chinatown for late night eats.”

For years this restaurant has been my go to spot in Chinatown for late night eats. They have an extensive and varied menu that includes classic Chinese American dishes to more unique items, such as the XO Sauce Turnips or rolled noodles in a savory and smokey sauce. I highly recommend getting their Thousands Island shrimp, the crunchy walnut shrimp, or the salted fish. The foods have strong flavors and excellent textures and always arrive piping hot.

“Great experience.”

Great experience. We have coming here for years, the food is always delicious and fresh. The service is really good. Favorites include the salt & pepper pork chop and fried rice noodle & beef with soy sauce. They also serve very good congee and milk tea. Prices are affordable.
