Was in the city for a few days in a work trip and this was a heavily recommended spot. From the outside didn't look like anything special but interior was nice. Large dining room but wad fully packed, definitely make a reservation. I was lucky to find a seat at the bar. Food was great but I wish there was more seafood or veggie options. The chilly chili noodles were probably Mt favorite dish I tried, spicy, salty, and packed with flavor. Since they were served cold it also felt refreshing to eat. The scallion pancakes were tasty but for the price I felt like the portion was too small. The main dish I had was shrimp dumplings in squash soup. The soup really hit the spot and fit the fall chicago vibe, and the shrimp dumplings were tasty as well. Overall interesting food experience and worth the visit!

Really enjoyed Duck Duck Goat. Specifically went for the Duck Fried Rice, and ended up liking it, but not loving it. Just wanted the fried rice to be a bit crispier and my Duck Egg was a bit overcooked, so the egg wasn't as runny as I would've liked. That being said, it was still a pleasant experience and the vibe of the restaraunt was incredible.

Dumplings aren’t great, cucumber salad is watery. Do yourself a favor and go to duck duck goat across the street for good xiao long baos.
