“Yummy Yummy? More like… gimme all that in my tummy! Too damn good… recommend to everyone who loves Chinese food! Roger that!”
“I live right across from the street so I decided to try their smoothie today! I got the lychee mango smoothie and it is true they use real fruits (even lychee)!! The consistency was perfect and it tastes amazing I will definitely stopping by again when craving smoothies 💛”
“Western Union sponsored my fortune cookie. My fortune said, "Your heritage and values define your journey - embrace them as you move forward". Then on the back there was an ad for Western Union. I don't want my fortune to be sponsored, but maybe this is just the world I need to get adjusted to. Any unused space is wasted space. Instead of just having things be, we should look for how things can be used to promote a message. So that's what I've started doing. There is so much wasted space on grave tombstones. Instead of just having a person's name, birthday, deathday, and small quote...why not throw in an ad. "Allstate, you're in good hands", that could be reassuring for loved ones and could drive business for Allstate, win win. If you want a sponsorship on your tombstone, first you have to live a life worth sponsoring. No company is going to sponsor a tombstone that is getting zero views, that's just bad business. They need the best cost per view. A person that positively impacts a bunch of people throughout their lifetime is going to drive way more traffic to their tombstone than someone who isolates themselves from the world. Anyway, the advertisement in my fortune cookie threw me off, but it didn't take anything away from how amazing these Korean vegetable dumplings were.”
“When I walked in the door the smell of mango and pineapple was delightful. This restaurant is very fresh. They offer a lot of fresh fruit smoothies and boba tea. I ordered the General chicken lunch special. I paid $2.00 extra to have fried rice. It was very good . I also ordered a crab ragoon. Also very good. I wish they had a smaller order you only have one order of six. I will definitely be back they have great flavors and are very fresh. They have Coke products, and have can pop.”
“I always support small businesses. These guys made a really cool avocado smoothie. Will definitely be back.”
“This local Lakeview neighborhood joint lives up to its name. The food and staff are wonderful. This is just the kind of place one wants to have in the neighborhood.”
“We’ve always enjoyed ordering from here since it’s a convenient go-to spot for takeout, which is why this last order was so disappointing. The shrimp didn’t seem to be properly cleaned, and honestly, it made the dish quite unpleasant. We know how good this place can be, so we’re hoping this was just a one-time issue. Looking forward to better experiences again.”
“Ordered broccoli shrimp. Was eating it and found a small stone in my food. I almost broke my tooth; I was lucky I didn't.”
“DO NOT EAT HERE. DO NOT EAT HERE. DO NOT EAT HERE. Just moved into the neighborhood a few weeks ago. Was super excited to try this place. Ordered Spring Rolls and Crab Rangoons that were good! Then got my orange chicken with white rice. I counted 17 hairs before I finally gave up in the rice. Literally coated in black hairs from all angles. Not one or 2 hairs. Coated in black hairs. Waitress came by and I showed her and she said “sorry” instantly and took it away. No comment. Like it happens all the time. Paid 30$ for spring rolls and crab rangoons that seem like they were filled with nasty hair as well. Will never come back. I recommend you stay away as far as possible from this place. Seems like 80/20 takeout. Maybe they pick the hairs out before it goes for takeout. Sorry the photos are so weird. I took the video on Snapchat. Would love to share it with anyone that asks lol.”
“The best Chinese food I’ve ever eaten in my life hands down. Thank you for the abundant delicious vegan options. I wake up dreaming of your chow fun and your bbq seitan. I wish you 100 more years of success. If I had a child I would name my first born yummy yummy in your honor <3i”
“I just moved back to Chicago and was so excited to order from here because I always used to. Everything was delicious as usual on my first night back in town. They forgot one little thing in my order (it happens) and personally came over to my place, called me, and apologized. They make great food and are really nice people. Please support them!”
“Rarely do I write a review let alone for a soup but the WonTon soup was so delicate, like something your mother cooked at home for you. The flavor and the vegetables were perfection! They had some sliced carrots and possibly a celery or root along with scallions. Every spoon of broth was a perfect amount of flavor (hard to mess up the dumpling part but that didn’t disappoint either). Though I do love spicy, I love when a restaurant can achieve such a flavor in all its subtlety (it’s harder imho than covering all the flavor with heat). I hope the soup is always this good (last time I had a soup so good was clear-consume New Year’s 2 years ago, that was a subtle umami flavor.). I also got orange chicken with sauce on the side and Szechuan style WonTons which at first blush taste great too. However, the soup was so much better than I’ve had in the past, that I ended up filling up on it and will eat the other items for lunch tomorrow. Please don’t change the recipe or cooking of the vegetables! Quite special for this sprint weather ☔️ 🤗 ⛈️☺️”
