“Food was so delicious! Service was exceptional! If you make it in, make sure to ask for Evelyn as she makes the best drinks!”
“Evelyn made our drinks and provided great service! We ordered the payday combo. It was cooked perfectly and tasted great!”
“I love this location even more than South Loop. I should have come here earlier instead of feeling disappointed with my food tonight. I ordered the same dish as before, and this time, everything was generous and not skimped on. You truly get your money's worth at the Chinatown location compared to South Loop.”
“Fantastic, we usually frequent the one in Lakeview but this one in Chinatown was a hit as well. Why not get a boil bag before walking around the eventful streets of Chinatown. One thing for sure, I have to learn to order less food, my eyes are hungrier than my stomach. I looked over and my son was still going at it. The food was delicious, the place was clean and the service was very attentive. I didn’t get an alcoholic drink but they sure do offer them. Throw on that bib, put on those gloves and let the server cut your boil bag so you can enjoy paradise.”
“Good food and good atmosphere! My friend took me here once and I will definitely be back!”
“The food was exceptional. The payday with everythang hot sauce was a great combo. We also had the garlic noodles chef’s. The cornbread was amazing”
“Just tried this awesome spot and got the seafood boil with mussels, broccoli, and green beans. 10/10 especially being my first food spot in Chicago! Will 100% recommend!”
“It all started with a craving of some of shrimp . It had been a while since I had it since I used to go to the south loop location . The service was great Evelyn made sure we had everything needed and explained the menu . Armando was very helpful and attentive. The flavors were delicious spicy citrusy, we ordered the mussels and shrimp along with a side of waffle fries that came with a delicious sauce. Overall I would highly recommend this China town location. Shout out to the staff for being a great Vibe !!!”
“Haven’t been here in a few years and was craving seafood boil. Evelyn who took our order was fantastic, so sweet and funny. We ordered the shrimp & mussels with the everything sauce and fries. It was more than enough food for me and my boyfriend. Overall fantastic service and food!”
“Amazing crab boil. The jalapeño cheese cornbread was nothing I’ve ever tasted before. I’m craving it now.”
“The food was good! It was a bit pricy so definitely not my go-to spot for a seafood boil, but I would return if I was in the area. The shrimp combo came with potatoes, corn, and cornbread which were all very flavorful. The food tasted good, but we all found that the seafood in our dishes were pretty overcooked. The cornbread was the star of the show for me. Everything was well seasoned, just cooked for a little too long. Other than that, the space is nice and clean and there is a section for you to wash your hands, get togo bags/foil, etc. overall a nice spot.”
“Nice music and esthetic, the food is pricy but tasty. They did make a mistake with my order and some how it got lost and when I went up to ask the lady who took my order where my food was she said it got lost so I need to wait another 10 minutes for the food. Now accidents happen but Evelyn was being too casual about like it was no big deal so that was distasteful for me. Other than that everything was good.”
