I have not been here in 10 plus years, my GF has never been to China Town so I had the perfect reason to come and enjoy some of the most delicious Orange Chicken if not the best Orange Chicken I've ever had LOOOOOVVVVVE the crunchiness. She loved it and can't wait to be back with her to enjoy some more of your delicious food.

We visited Chicago from Houston Texas and made our way to Chinatown after a White Sox Game 09/20/2025. We were looking for somewhere to eat and we're a bit intimidated by the foreign language signage and weren't really sure what we were getting ourselves into. However, we passed this place and our attention was drawn to familiar menu items pictured on the front of the building. It was 30 minutes until closing time and no one was in the restaurant except a local group of presumably Chinese folks enjoying a meal together. We were greeted and sat immediately and served hot tea. We got a medium wonton soup & beef with string greens. The portions were more than we needed by far and the tab was $28 (cheapest meal I've had in a restaraunt). That being said, 100% would recommend and we joke about flying ALL the way back to Chicago just to have dinner here.

Best General Tso's chicken I have ever had. Prices were bad either for the amount of food received.

It threw me off how the place looked ruined, I was a little suspicious but honestly my experience was pleasant. The food was amazing, and I was given such a large portion for only 12 dollars.

Ordered the half duck with taro, a choy, and lychee smoothie. All were super delicious! Very friendly and lovely place. (To my server: Be sure to look me up if you’re ever in the NJ/NY area!)

Recently, while visiting Chinatown and my kids decided we were going to try a little bit of every restaurant, and though all of them were pretty good China Café stood out and we ended up eating there twice in our 10 day visit We intentionally order things that were unique and not found in restaurants where we live, and though my kids are picky, they loved everything, including the waitress that we got on both occasions, who is very friendly When we return next year on business, we are definitely going to be coming back to the restaurant

“They have super authentic Cantonese food.”

They have super authentic Cantonese food. I had the eel claypot rice, which is off the menu and about $40. I would highly recommend getting it if you have a big party.

“I like trying different dishes here when I visit Chinatown.”

I like trying different dishes here when I visit Chinatown. The mapo tofu is excellent and spicy. Steamed shrimp dumplings are a nice treat for sure. I also enjoyed the chicken feet in chef's sauce, seriously. The menu has English and great pictures so it's easy to explore. Inside is clean and inviting. Prices are reasonable too.
