“Jimmy, the owner, is the absolute best.”

Jimmy, the owner, is the absolute best. He’s back and has moved from the old town location to a new building off Cartland. Ihe offers a combination of quality food with entertainment with a side of charm. If you’re ready to experience crab Rangoon to die fkr with a combination of party, stop by. Chicago legend for sure.

“Our first time dining.”

Our first time dining. This is another great restaurant gem in Chicago. The food was excellent with great flavor. We had the opportunity to meet the owner, Lan, a down to earth, kind person who makes his own sauces. Amazing! You can order your meal with a variety level of spice. Definitely a must try and when in the area, my new go-to for Asian style food.

“Coming here was amazing.”

Coming here was amazing. The food was fresh and delicious. The service and atmosphere was great too. I went close to closing time and Jimmy and the rest of the staff were so nice and accommodating. Their in house sauces are definitely something to try and have at home as well. Definitely coming back here.

“This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant.”

This is my new favorite Chinese restaurant. The food was delicious!! We had the orange chicken and it was very crispy, not too sticky, and tasted very fresh. Portion sizes are very generous as well. Also had chicken noodles and they were decent. There is a sauce you can get (ask the owner) that goes GREAT with the noodles and rice. The owner, Jimmy, was also really awesome. Will be coming again to try other dishes !

“Did the karaoke party - - family style food first then karaoke.”

Did the karaoke party - - family style food first then karaoke. The crab rangoon is very good as well as the garlic green beans. The orange chicken head very orange-y. Also came with vegetable egg rolls, vegetable fried rice, sushi, dumplings. I thought the rest of the food was just ok but I'd be willing to go back to try food specifically that I prefer and could order. It's byob but he supplies ice and there is liquor on site. Jimmy creates such a lively, fun vibe!!! Definitely an experience!

“It’s 11:00pm and I’m writing this review.”

It’s 11:00pm and I’m writing this review. If you’re reading this, BE AWARE OF YOUR BILL! Me and my friend were charged over $10 extra for our bill and when we mentioned the 20% off discount for ordering to go in person, he only lowered the bill by $5. He went from trying to charge us $46 and some change to $42 and some change when our actual bill was only supposed to be $32 and some change after the 20% discount. He tried to get over on us TWICE and apologized TWICE after I did the math in front of him. That’s insane! You can’t do business with dishonest people!! Shame on you for trying to get over on your customers!! And to think me and my friend were going to come back here to dine in because the inside and outside looks nice, but looks can be deceiving!! He ended up charging us $32 even because I confronted him about trying to get over on us twice! What a disgrace!

“One of my favorite places for Chinese takeout.”

One of my favorite places for Chinese takeout! The food gives Chinatown a run for its money. Both quality and quantity are excellent. We love the Mooshu pork and the garlic eggplant. The owner Jimmy is delightfully friendly. Definitely considering this place for my next event! If you're ordering takeout, I'd suggest calling instead of ordering online.
