“Travelling in Chicago for work and had craving for Chinese food. The food tastes great. I ordered Dan Dan noodle, Sichuan fried beans without knowing they offer white rice for every dish. The portion is huge so I could only finish half of the noodle and took away the dish and rice. There was only one staff serving though. I ordered oolong tea but it was not served. I was not shown the details when making payment so no idea whether I was charged (things to improve).”
“Made this place our last stop before leaving Chicago and it’s 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Staff was very friendly and attentive. Food was good, and the free meal items for ordering a certain amount was a great bonus. Order and view menu via QR code, and they’ll bring out the food to you. Great service!”
“Best eggrolls and fried rice I have ever had. The entree was amazing as well. Huge portions that are big enough to share. Best eggrolls I have eaten!”
“We arrived shortly after opening, and we had the whole place to ourselves. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. There's a QR code on the table, which directs you to a website to order your food. We signed up for their rewards program, which got us free spring rolls. We were served a complimentary bowl of sugary crispy things, my wife ate most of them. Our food looked and tasted amazing. I ordered the house special spicy fried rice. They let you pick which meats you'd like in it. My wife had Tony's Chicken. We'd highly recommend both. We'll be back for sure.”
