“Very nice people, lamb with sour pickles is very good. Coming for many years”
“I really love the food here! There are many authentic dishes and specials as well. I usually order the twice-cooked pork or the pork intestines. The pork intestines were cleaned very well without any undesirable taste. The dishes are cooked well and come out quickly, but the seasoning is a little on the salty and oily side. Otherwise, the service is very friendly and fast. The beef noodle soup here is also very good.”
“Came here for a friend’s birthday. The environment was cute. The Scallion Pancakes were light and flakey but filling. The Mushroom Salad was the best dish of the meal by far. The Spicy Beef Noodle Soup was amazing! It was perfectly flavored and the noodles were great. The Hunan Beef was fire. The Tender Chicken and Vegtable Hot Pot was pretty good but not mindblowing. It had a flavorful soup! The Vegetarian Jjamppong Noodle Soup was delicious but we wish there was a source of protien like tofu or something. The Singapore Vermicelli was really salty but not in a bad way. However, it did require water breaks. The Sweet and Sour Chicken was yummy. The Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup was decent and welll-portioned. We had an amazing server. We asked for 1 fork and she went above and beyond to get us 5. We really appreciated the extra effort throughout the meal.”
“Found this place in Evanston while looking for another Chinese restaurant. I had the orange chicken, egg rolls and taro boba tea. The tea was terrible and definitely from a powder. Wasn’t sweet and tasted gritty. The egg rolls were delicious and so was the orange chicken. It was fabulous and had orange peel and a real orange slice in it. Had the perfect amount of chicken and coating ratio. It was a huge portion enough for 3 people. Service was also great. I plan on coming here again soon.”
“Great Chinese restaurant. Definitely check them out. Service staff is very nice. Food is authentic and good. They also have American options too. Decent prices. Was adventurous and wanted something authentic this time and had their pork intestine dry pot. Gave lots of intestine which tasted very clean and the spices were on point.”
“A delicious spot offering a good variety of Asian dishes! Popular among Evanston locals and students, this restaurant gets quite busy, so food can take a little while to come out. I recommend getting different dishes to share so that you can get a taste of everything. We had the Taiwanese beef noddles, beef chow fun, seafood jjambbong, and salt and pepper calamari. The food was also freshly cooked and flavorful. It’s a bit pricey, but if you’re looking for another good Asian spot in Evanston, try Shang Noodle!”
“偶然进入，点了几个菜，虽然等的比其他餐馆久一些，可是听到厨房不断传来乒乒乓乓的翻炒声，真的非常开心，仿佛回到了人间，一路过来，中餐也好，西餐也好，高中档，厨房都静悄悄的，端上来的食物冷冰冰，有的只是上面有些温热，很多都是预制菜，烤箱烤一烤微波炉加加热就端上来，高级海鲜酒楼亦如此，可是上面的菜品，端到面前香喷喷，锅气十足，清淡，又色香味十足，专门来点评，希望他们的生意越来越好，不至于为了赚快钱而做预制菜，这样大家都有一口健康美味的热饭吃😊”
“Good to have this meal in cold day. Great food at a great price”
“Visited this location a couple times and it's always been a great time. Food is delicious with big portions, always have leftovers to take home. The service is fast and attentive. On my last visit they had quite a few to-go and catering orders, but they were still able to take orders and serve food without much of a wait. Will definitely visit this location more and more in the future.”
“Food was excellent, fresh , and all the right temperatures, spice levels, and textures expected. Service was polite and quick. Fun non alcoholic beverages, too”
“What a nice unassuming little place! The owner was so kind and helpful. There were 6 of us and she would tell us what she recommended and was so honest. Someone would ask about one dish and she would either say of yes, it is very good or she would say, no I do not like that! She was so funny. The service was quick and the portions were huge! The noodle bowl is something that two people can eat off of. The food was very fresh tasting and we found the prices to be reasonable especially for the amount of food you get. Will be coming here again next time we are in the area.”
“A straightforward Chinese spot delivering authentic flavors at great prices. The Taiwanese beef noodle soup is hearty and satisfying, while the chili fish and king mushroom with egg tofu are well-seasoned with generous portions. Overall, a solid choice for authentic Chinese cuisine in downtown Evanston.”
