“Zayyumm zaddy!! Wow.. dried chili chicken is like my mouth met flavor and moistness it’s never felt before. This is a must have experience. Get the mild if you’re not accustom to the Asian zing. 5 stars.”
“Amazing dining experience! The food was fresh and full of flavor. The menu has plenty of options, and it’s easy to see why this place is so popular. The service was fast, friendly and efficient; restaurant was very busy. If you’re visiting Chicago’s Chinatown, MCCB is definitely a place you shouldn’t miss, we did not have a reservation and there were people waiting but the line was moving pretty quickly. We had: Mongolian & sesame chicken dishes, portions were generous.”
“MCCB in Chinatown is dishing out some delicious food, went for the first time for dinner and it was well worth the wait (highly recommend reservations as the wait can be long (waited about an hour for a table of 3) but if you don’t have reservations, it’s in Chinatown so put your name down and explore the other shops/restaurants in the area. The crab rangoons are one of my favorites, perfectly crisp and they don’t skimp on the filling. The string beans stole the show for me, great portion size and perfectly garlicky and crisp. The dry chili chicken is one of their signature dishes and it is properly spicy! Cucumber salad was great to balance the heat from the chicken, will definitely be back in the future”
“best fried rice w chicken I ever had. food is plentiful so definitely come hungry!”
“Came to China town for the mango sticky rice and saw a line at the door of this place before they opened so we knew it had to be good and it didn’t disappoint! The combination fried rice was amazing! Definitely will be back to try out more of the menu items.”
“Holy moly this place is amazing. Tiny and amazing. The wonton soup was delightfully clean and flavorful, and the flank steak with spicy garlic sauce was an abolute killer. Not actually very spicy, but the flavor was some of the best I've had.”
“Went on a busy Saturday night solo. Came 40 mins before closing and was out in 40 mins. Food came out super quick, I had wonton soup that was very flavorful & the pork belly. The pork belly was delicious but some pieces were way too fatty.”
“Ordered tofu, shrimp, and Dan Dan style pork fried rice. Very tasty without being overly oily or greasy.”
“Update: Went back there and had another great experience. Melt in your mouth beef, delicious fish, and had to get the dry chili chicken. Original review: Probably the best Chinese food I’ve had in Chicago area. Really enjoyed their dry chili chicken, kung pao chicken and beef with black pepper. Amazing flavors, excellent service.”
“Im usually not a fan of pork but the dandan noodles were out of this world”
