I recently ordered from Jess Cafe and was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and affordability of the meal. The spring rolls, fried rice, lo mein were flavorful and delicious. Not only were the dishes all delicious, but the prices were very reasonable. I’ll definitely be back!

Some of their food was good, but some threw me off. Would come back to try their other menu items. Korean style bbq short ribs - great, would highly recommend Pepper and salt smelt - would recommend, if you like spicy, I recommend asking for more peppers maybe? Walnut shrimp - this dish threw me off, the batter they used is not the typical one that you'd expect for this dish. Minced garlic chinese broccoli - was okay, it felt lacking seasoning for me.

LONG black hair found in orange chicken of my bald dads and before say it’s someone’s hair from the household it’s was at the bottom oh his plate and bright neon green hair so it can’t be blamed on me We love panda but we are thankful this is not our usual location

I like fast food when I'm on the run and I love Chinese food and this is a perfect mix for me. I love their green bean chicken probably the most with the noodles. I discovered them in St. Louis, and now that I find this one, I'm going to be there tonight!

I ordered dumplings from this place through Uber Eats, and it was a complete disaster. I was so excited for my order, but the moment I took a bite of the first dumpling, I regretted it. The dumplings were stale and so hard to chew I thought I might break a tooth. To make things worse, they don't offer refunds through Uber Eats. Save yourself the disappointment—don't order from here!

Delivery experience was great and got an awesome surprise in my bag! A custim note WITH A JIGGLYPUFF Not that I expect that at all, but they also dont know me or how huge a fan of pokemon I am so this was just truly amazing. Great food. Seems like really great crew. Will be ordering again!

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.

Tho the restaurant seems so luxurious, the price is affordable and the food is 5/5. I love it, so sad that I found out this late. Now I will try every time I have enough budget for dim sum. They are so nice as well. Sandy was so nice today. Maybe thanksgiving day, so there are less people. They have 20% discount for weekdays from 2-4pm as well but holidays do not count. The taste feels like back home. Love it. The fried short ribs and chicken feet were superb!!!!!

This place came recommended to me, and it certainly seemed popular, bustling around brunch time. The interior itself is quite ratty, with especially the booth seats completely torn to shreds (see picture) The short ribs I ordered were unfortunately extremely chewy, gristly, and drowned in sweet sauce that really impacted how much flavor of the actual meat came through. Similarly, the turnip cake was sticky and otherwise greasy and flavorless. The desserts were a bit better, with especially the durian-filled pancakes a small highlight. The taro dumplings, too, as nice as they looked, were stone cold and tasted of nothing except old grease. The custard rolls were middling - not very flavorful and very starchy/floury tasting. Overall, a huge disappointment, and I would urge you try any of the other Dim Sum places nearby instead.

Used to get Tom Lee all the time so was bummed to see it close but I’ve already ordered from here several times and love it. Food is not bland, portions are great, and the staff is very nice. I miss having smoothies be available but I imagine keeping those would have been too much in addition to all the new food options (chicken katsu was really tasty!). Oh well! I still will be back.

I get takeout here quite often and while I do miss Tom lees and feel their fried rice was better people need to chill with the 1 star reviews. They are new and they will improve. It’s not 1 star food.

Had the Orange Chicken, Mongolian beef, and some fried rice and I absolutely loved it. I just want to say though, the couple that runs this place don’t speak English so if they’re a bit abrasive with you please don’t take offense, from the times I’ve been there I’ve seen how nice and generous they are. If you’re looking to eat some awesome Asian food in the little Italy/UIC part of Chicago and support a new small business in the area, you ought to give this place a chance.

Chinese guy here. This lowkey place has become my family’s new favorite restaurant! From its delicious food to its extremely kind owner, this Asian restaurant is definitely one of the best in the Little Italy area. Keep in mind, the previously low reviews on Google are from the older owners. These newer owners just reopened 3 months ago. It is good home-cooked Chinese food! I recommend!

Great hole in the wall Chinese American spot! Friendly staff and the food is always spot on with great portions, good pricing, and tasty food. Would recommend the lunch specials and eating it freshly made if you can! Also would recommend the strawberry mango smoothie!!

I order the general tso's chicken. It was ok, price was good, service was great and the food was done fast. I'd come back again.

The food was very tasty and I saw they have great ratings on GrubHub. The delivery was fast and the presentation was satisfactory. I ordered various types of sushi and all of them tasted great. The shrimp was great.

This place was a frequent fav prior to COVID. They had my fav salad, the Salmon salad! I’ve noticed that a few locations have shut down and the menu changed. The appetizers were great. My husband enjoyed the Basil Fried Rice. I chose the Harajuku roll, which was tuna & yellowtail roll. It wasn’t as tasty as I would’ve imagined. It wasn’t spicy at all. This establishment is BYOB, which led to the 4-star rating.

I've been ordering here for 3 years on the worst and best days of my life never went to the physical location till now like a lot of Chicago restaurants no seating but it's cool because the food is always 💯 amazing way better than the nice decorated restaurants. Im super picky too my absolute favorite is their fresh spring rolls! Out of all these years I've been ordering only 1 wrong order mishap which they made right on the 2nd delivery attempt! No plans on finding a new Chinese restaurant at all!❤️❤️❤️

SUBPAR yet edible Chinese food in my experience and opinion. When you know better you know better. It is Father's Day and Juneteenth, I say this only to say that it would help the following experience make some type of sense for me. It is neither an excuse but an explanation I have come up with. Many restaurants were overwrought with orders and maybe they were rushing and or ran out of ingredients and simply could not keep up with the demand but decided out of greed to still make the money and hope the customers did not notice or wouldn't complain that ingredients were missing and the quality was poor. This was pricey food made from cheap ingredients and lacking any memorable taste or quality assurance. I ordered Combination chop suey with Chicken, beef and shrimp (No bean sprouts were in it at all) they just happen to be one of my favorite parts of the dish but usually one of the main featured vegetables too, the shrimp were mushy, no water chestnut were included either just carrot, celery, white onion and cabbage ???? And to add insult to injury the white rice served along with the Chop Suey was under cooked as well ....upon my calling back no plausible explanation could be given and I was reffered back to the food delivery service to request a refund for the item. I was disappointed with the other items as well Combination fried rice was meh at best, spring rolls were filled with unflavored mush and a tough not delicate and crispy outer covering as I have accustomed too. I am sure that they have some customers that enjoy their offerings and preparations. I definitely am not one of the fans of the restaurant or their offerings after this first unfortunate experience.

The food here is honestly a mixed bag. I heard about their Zhong's dumplings and had to agree that these were quite tasty. The wrappers were thick just enough to deliver a great chew without overshadowing the filling. The star of the dish was the aromatic savory-sweet soy sauce - so delicious I could drink it! Beijing style stewed eggplant, however, was a waste of money. This so-called "stewed" dish came in a tiny portion, swimming in oil, and tasted lackluster. My friend loved the dry chili chicken. I wanted to get the smoked tea duck but they ran out so I opted for the fresh chili fish. The texture of the fish was extremely tender and silky. The dish, though undersalted, had a nice kick of spice as well as the numbing sensation from the Sichuan peppercorns. They charged $1.50/bowl of white rice, which was quite ridiculous. Service was subpar. Our waiter was not able to answer any simple questions about the food, making the experience quite frustrating.

I’ve been here a couple times recently and I really do think there is some quality food here. The Mapo tofu is really yummy and not too spicy. Honestly, I feel like they are holding back on spice because I feel the same about the dan dan noodles. The American Chinese options like orange and sweet and sour chicken are good. The orange chicken actually tastes like it has orange juice and the breading is perfect. Also, big fan of the sichuan sausage. My biggest issue of this place is the rice not being free. Seems a little odd. Still believe this will be a go to spot for me.

Love this place for Cantonese food! I came here with a party of 5. We ordered the family dinner for 6 and we ate everything. The seafood basket, fried fish, crab, salt and pepper shrimp, pea pod tips, and salt and pepper pork chop were all great. Portion size is also great.

I had a fantastic dining experience at Silver Seafood Restaurant! The atmosphere was inviting, the staff were friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. From the moment I walked in, I could tell it was going to be a special meal. The menu at Silver Seafood Restaurant offers a wide variety of seafood options, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and freshness of the ingredients used in each dish. The flavors were exquisite, and I particularly enjoyed the perfectly grilled salmon. The only minor drawback was that there were fewer pictures of the food on the menu. It would have been helpful to see more visuals to get a better idea of what to expect. However, the descriptions were detailed enough to make informed choices. Overall, I highly recommend Silver Seafood Restaurant for its exceptional cuisine and warm ambiance. Don't let the lack of food pictures deter you from trying their delectable dishes!
