My experience is pretty good here. The food portion is big. We ordered the xinjiang big chicken plate. My husband and I ate it for three meals. Highly recommend the lamb skewers! I like the part that their skewers has fat in the middle which makes skewers even better. Also the cold spice chicken also tastes really good, the numbness is great, though maybe a bit too sweet. In general we love the food we get and we will definitely be back and try fried noodles that we did not get the chance to order.

Went to checkout this newly opened Xinjiang restaurant a couple months ago. It was such an disappointment. 新疆椒麻鸡/Spices Chicken with Green Sichuan Pepper was overloaded with spices in a bad way, and the chicken tasted like plastic sealed souvenir food you can buy at tourist attractions back in China. 新疆缸子肉/Mutton Soup tased ok but it was covered by like an inch of oil, could not remember how did I even tasted it. 新疆炒米粉/Egg Fried Rice Noodle, the waiter warned me it’s extremely spicy, but it came not spicy at all, and the meat in it did not taste like fresh. 火焰山架子肉/Tandoor Lamb, is it a joke? It was not even eatable, 70% of the meat were pure fat, I was having a had time to understand how could they even serve this dish. The worst of my 2024 first half of year restaurants.

Neat and small restaurant. Seated by ourselves per the hostess/ cashier and served with hot tea. I have to flagged to order. But Floor staffs were nice. Food arrived shortly after we placed. Classic, Tender, beef stew with rice noodle was savory. crunchy and crispy fried dough, plain unsalted congee was smooth and semi thick. Crispy fried shrimp rolls was good flavor. Creamy, mild sweet egg custard with flaky pastry. shrimp dumplings with 2 shrimps was cooked perfectly. Mild Hint of sesame paste cake served pipping hot. daikon cake was a little doughy, but you can taste small bites of daikon. Steamed bean curd rolls were a little too much celery for me. Steamed shrimp and peanut dumplings were ok. Beef tripes were crisp, not chewy. You have to ask for hot sauce. Take out: Baked bbq pork buns were too doughy, not much flavor of bbq pork. Pork floss was good with mayonnaise. Winter melon cakes were a little too doughy with mild sweetness. But the paper cupcakes were really good with mild sweetness.

My family loves coming here for dim sum and dinner. This time we went for dinner and enjoyed every dish. Sauteed pork stomach/intestine was so good but be sure to tell them to use less salt. The honey cashew shrimp is like crack -- very sweet and addictive.

surprisingly, one of the best dumpling restaurant I’ve ever witnessed. Perfection with old school learning of all handmade dumplings and other products that have superb quality… the taste is impeccable. I highly recommend this location you must try it! Also, don’t forget the skewer sticks. Amazing taste, and flavor.

Had to wait an hour for a soup dumpling dish we were promised to have within 10 minutes. Thinking she was busy on morning orders, we waited patiently for almost an hour only to be told by the lady that she never recalled taking our order. Since no receipt was given, my family & I proceeded to show the charge via banking app, & the lady continued to refuse our order to be served to us. She took our money & continued to conduct poor business. This was an extremely disappointing experience & unfortunately would not recommend anyone to dine here. Bottom line - not a welcoming atmosphere, this food court itself is over hyped.

Bought 2 items, egg with tomato on rice, 2/3 of the container was filled with rice (hard, taste like overnight cooked rice) mostly tomato with little bit egg. The other was pork with pepper stir fried on rice, better than the egg one. Food is pricey, just so so

Best spicy Hunan food!

I have been wanting to try this for a while and I finally was able to. There are a few options for for food, one option for bubble tea and a few other businesses as well. I went on a weekday so most of the places were closed. I ended up getting dumplings from gourmet duck and it was delicious!!

This is a review for Gourmet Duck, the dumpling place on the back wall you may see other reviews for. These are absolutely the best dumplings and potstickers i’ve had and you can see the two ladies working really take their time and make everything fresh! If you come here please be patient, the food may take a few minutes but is well worth the wait. Each time I come to Chinatown I make sure to stop here for food. Avoid on really busy days such as lunar new year parade for example. Really great north eastern cuisine and done with care 🥟

I finally stopped by Chinatown to try Legend Dumpling + Bao! When I got there, it was a small but somewhat crowded place. It depends on the time of day when you might have to wait for a table. I was able to order through the kiosk, and I got the Taiwan braised pork noodles with streamed pork and cabbage bao. Please stop by! Definitely worth the time to eat here.

I'm glad they have rice noodles you can choose to go with any soup base. That's nice to see a GF Options here. The side dishes are good amount with well balances. Xiao Long Bao is not Xiao Long Ton Bao but still taste good with fluffy skin and juicy inside.

Wayne’s BBQ and Cajun is an absolute gem for anyone craving mouth-watering barbecue and authentic Cajun cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the warm, inviting atmosphere sets the stage for a fantastic dining experience. The barbecue is out of this world—tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The ribs fall off the bone, and the pulled pork is perfectly seasoned. The Cajun dishes are equally impressive, with jambalaya and gumbo that transport your taste buds straight to Louisiana. Each bite is a delicious blend of spices and fresh ingredients. The service at Wayne’s is top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food they serve. They make you feel like part of the family, ensuring that every visit is enjoyable.

The food pretty good. I ordered the blackened catfish with rice and beans plus cabbage. I like their interpretation of saying catfish when is actually swai fish. Customer service was fine the place is more like a Cajun Chinese restaurant have to try other dishes. This is what's left

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

$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

I stopped by Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings around 1:40 PM, and wow, it was packed! Maybe it was because of the holidays, but we ended up waiting about 30 minutes for a table. Honestly, it didn’t feel too bad since the staff kept things moving quickly. Once we got seated, I was impressed by how fast everything happened. Our food came out in under 10 minutes, which was a lifesaver after the wait. As for the dumplings—so good! The flavors were on point, though I will say some were a little on the doughy side. Still, that didn’t stop me from enjoying every bite. One thing to note: they don’t validate parking, so just be aware of that if you’re driving. Overall, I’d definitely come back. Even with the crowd, the food and quick service made it totally worth it. If you’re craving dumplings and don’t mind a bit of a wait, this spot is a must-try!

Hands down the best soup dumplings I have ever had and completely live up to the recommendations. The atmosphere is very calming and appropriate, the wait staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the menu very diverse in its offerings. All of this coupled with what I would consider a decent price made it an excellent spot to duck into upon opening to have an order of dumplings. It does get busy so I recommend getting there at opening to guarantee a seat.

I was looking for a tasty place to eat by myself on Christmas and walked a bit before I found this place! I was seated very quickly, and the ordering is by tablet which is great and it has pictures! The food came out quickly and the potstickers and orange chicken were delicious! I would definitely go back!!

We were celebrating a special occasion and were looking for places to eat. Since all of the places we wanted to eat at were packed, we decided to try something new. Which I’m super glad that we stumbled upon here! The servers were all so friendly and nice, making sure everything was okay for us. The food was also pretty good here too! We will definitely be coming back for the fish!

The food is absolutely incredible!! I got beef congee that was seasoned sooo perfectly, had just the right amount of salt and flavors to not get bored of any bite. Friend got the Beef rib tip crepe and it was delicious, (its not a french crepe!!) and paired sooooo well with their soy sauce which was also the best soy sauce I've ever had!! Also got the chicken feet in red bean, so juicy and left just the smallest satisfying tingle on my lips. Theyre han egg bun was so delicious too, the bread is a sweet soft and so perfect. It was busy in the morning so finding a seat was a little awkward but people had no issue moving or sitting in a table with strangers. It was also so nice seeing older people just enjoying their community in an establishment. Absolutely a MUST eat!!! Sooooo value too, but cash only!

Heads up: cash only. We been coming here for cheap and good food for a while now. But the most recent visit the food was terrible. Our Singapore noodles was oily, almost no meats on it and super spicy, I mean super spicy. We eat Korean spicy food all the time so can handle them. But this dish was almost un-eatable. Or normal dish are beef stirred flat rice noodles and salted fish and chicken fried rice. Good BBQ buns too. The baked version.

Absolutely outstanding Hunan cuisine! The flavors were delightful and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. The service was exceptionally friendly as well. Among the dishes, the beef rice noodles stood out for their tender texture and delicious beef broth, while the mashed pepper/eggplant with preserved eggs absorbed so much flavor. The ground pork with mustard and the smoked pork and bamboo shoot dry pot were also standout dishes. Overall, every dish were super aromatic, and with so many more menu items to explore, I'm looking forward to returning for more.

Definitely authentic Hunan Cuisine. We ordered the fish( definitely order the whole fish as it is fresh), sticky tofu( it is crispy and flavorful), dried beef pot. Everything is so good that we are definitely going to back to try more!
