“Walked in looking for a local dinner spot tonight. We ordered the green beans garlic, duck, dumplings and the pancake. Pleasantly surprised! I have a hard time finding good veggie options that taste fresh and flavorful. We live by Chinatown and I think this may be my new go to. Duck was good! Great service. Had to update this post because we are now regulars. Pictures of more food options. Everything is amazing. Byob. Service is phenomenal.”
“We’ve been here three times now and every time it’s been one of the best eating experiences I can remember. No frills, no fuss, simple but also endless menu, AND you can get a Kings Feast for a great price. You have to try the fried eggplant with the cucumber salad - it will change your life.”
“I recently visited Potsticker House with my friends, and the experience was absolutely delicious. We ordered a mix of dishes, and every plate came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The food felt authentic, well-seasoned, and very satisfying. We especially loved the tofu-based dish with a rich, spicy sauce—it was crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfectly balanced with vegetables. The flavors were bold but not overpowering. Another standout was the stir-fried vegetables with peppers and onions, which had a great smoky taste and paired really well with the steamed white rice. Everything tasted freshly cooked, and the sauces were flavorful without being too oily. The portions were generous, making it perfect for sharing with friends. The simple presentation let the food speak for itself. The atmosphere was casual and comfortable, ideal for a relaxed meal with good company. Service was quick and efficient, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. Overall, Potsticker House is a fantastic spot if you’re craving authentic, flavorful Asian food in Chicago. It’s a great place to come with friends, enjoy multiple dishes, and leave fully satisfied. I’d definitely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for tasty, comforting food.”

“I have been coming here for over 20 years. They have the best soup dumplings. Everything is delicious and I have ever had a bad dish. I highly recommend the chive pockets.”
“Had a little time to get some food during a long lunch break and found this place. Rule of thumb is the places that still look like they could be little holes in the wall are gonna have some really good eats. I got soup dumplings bc I get them whenever I can and they were exceptional. The wrapper was slightly thicker than some places I've had it but it was very enjoyable. I like it when the thicker parts of the dough have that chewy texture to them. They provided vinegar and soy, and chili oil for dipping. I think I forgot to ask about mustard. Secondly I got the beef tendons. For what they charge I got SO much and ended up having leftovers which were so delicious reheated. I got them cold, they were fresh and chewy and the sauce / oil they served on them was salty to perfection. It came with sliced onions and a lot of fresh cilantro, and after mixing everything together for a perfect bite with their white rice was a life changing moment. Everything was amazing. Also for their fresh soy milk, it was slightly sweet and creamy and kind of vegetal but in a good way? Like you can tell they used fresh soybeans that were green and crisp. Absolutely lovely. Ended up going back the next day for more of the tendons and I got a traditional Chinese pan cake. It had the best flaky thin dough that had been stretched and rolled back on itself and then spiraled and pan fried I assume. It was light and airy and easy to pull apart. They served it with oyster or hoisin sauce, not sure but it was a great salty sweet combination. 10/10 would go back will always recommend. I love places that have more traditional cuisine and this is one of those places”
“Everything was delicious and very clean place to eat lunch”
“Really appreciated the fact that they have their own car park here - made this place super accessible for access by car. Restaurant features beautiful artwork on the walls, and wait staff were all friendly and helpful. We ordered 3 dishes - cumin lamb, cold noodles and seasoned tofu. All were delicious, but the seasoned tofu was my absolute favourite (despite the fact that I’m usually not that crazy about tofu!). Definitely a must visit place if you are in this part of town!”
“Nice place with its own parking lot. My wife and I come here often. Delicious food and great service. We highly recommend their 豆浆 (soy milk), 油条 (fried dough sticks), 煎饼果子 (savory pancakes), and 韭菜盒 (chive dumplings). The owner recently remodeled the restaurant, adding many beautiful pictures and decorations, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.”
“Tucked away from the noise of the city, Potsticker House feels like a hidden gem. The atmosphere is intimate and serene, dim lighting, warm wooden accents, and the gentle hum of quiet conversation make it the perfect escape after a long, busy day. The service was prompt and unobtrusive, giving us the space to relax and unwind. We started with the Shanghai-style pork soup dumplings, which arrived steaming in a bamboo basket. Each dumpling was delicate and pleated like a small work of art. The moment you bite in, you're rewarded with a burst of hot, savory broth, rich and comforting, like a slow-simmered stock with hints of ginger and scallion. The pork filling inside was tender and well-seasoned, with a perfect balance of salt and umami. We had to pace ourselves, or we would've devoured the whole basket in seconds. Next came the Shanghai-style stir-fried noodles with mushrooms, bok choy, and pork. The noodles had a satisfying chew, coated in a deeply flavorful sauce that clung to each strand. The mushrooms were earthy and juicy, soaking up all the savory goodness, while the bok choy added a fresh, crisp bite that balanced the dish. The slices of pork were thin, tender, and infused with that signature wok-charred aroma. Each dish felt crafted with care, nothing overdone, nothing artificial. Just honest, soulful food. This isn’t your usual takeout-style Chinese spot. Potsticker House feels like being invited to someone’s home for a comforting, homemade meal. I’ll absolutely be back and next time, I’m bringing friends.”
