Best place in Chinatown to get Char siu (BBQ Pork). The meat is always tender and not too fatty.

Was an interesting little place, wasn’t sure if I even walked into the right door. Lady barely spoke English but was real friendly! Duck was really good!

$12 for half a roasted duck, this is a price that you can't find anywhere else in Chicagoland. The meat and flavors are unbeatable too. A must visit every trip to Chinatown. But be warned, this is a Chinatown old school venue, small, dim and .... use ur imaginations :-p

Very honest and trustworthy BBQ shop. The gentleman preparing the food is very kind and welcoming. The food is delicious, and the prices are very fair. They never shortchange customers or cut corners on portions. Highly recommended!

Tai Ho Yee Food Co in Chinatown is 🔥. I spent about $30 on a half-roast duck and a pound of their famous char siu pork. Duck skin was tender and juicy, and that pork? Sweet, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth, straight-up the best char siu in town. It’s cash-only & they close early, so roll through before 2PM. No frills, just killer BBQ.
