“What I had was very good. Has no atmosphere at all. Reminds me of a military chow hall. Has very large menu to choose from. I generally judge Chinese restaurants by its customers. If its full of Asians , eat there, if not, go somewhere else.“

“What an amazing place! I had heard how hard it was to get reservations at this restaurant and now I know why!!! I really thought how different or better could Sweet and Sour Chicken be than the hundreds of other times that I've had it, but now I know!!! From the appetizers to main dishes, everything was absolutely amazing. Such unique and delicious tastes. A must try and a must return!“

“I came here with a large group and we had a preset menu so that limits a bit my evaluation of the food. But overall it was very good. The food highlights were the duck & goat soup dumplings, the goat slap noodles, and the chongquin chicken; the Peking duck was good - just not enough meat on it for the number of pancakes they give you; the veggie rice and crab rangoon were just ok.I’d definitely try to go back with a smaller group.“

“Im usually very happy with their food but this time I was very disappointed and in disbelief how bad the experience was this time with food. I order the bbq char siu was very dry and honestly seemed old. I order two rice box half and half but both were 90% salt&pepper. Hardly any sweet and sour chicken.“

“The food is absolutely delicious. Fast, convenient, and oh so much flavor! I had the fried chicken steak jianbing and we also tried the original egg waffle and salted egg yolk waffle. Very excited to have them in the neighborhood and already can't wait to stop in again.“

“This place is so so so good. We were seated right away once we got in. The service was phenomenal. Our waiter checked on us often, frequently refilled our waters, and gave us great dish recommendations. Our food also came out pretty quick too!We ordered the cumin lamb, combo chow mein, and the Hong Kong chow fun. The cumin lamb had a really strong cumin flavor to it (hence the name) but it was still enjoyable. Combo chow mein was AMAZING. Their handmade noodles are delicious and the beef was really juicy and delicious. The Hong Kong chow fun was good too, with it's mixture of crunchy and smooth rice noodles. I will definitely be back here soon!!“

“Talk about heaven in a bowl. It was my bday week and a friend wanted to take me out. I had seen this video on Instagram of someone enjoying a bowl of ramen with a colossal beef rib and was intrigued enough to see it for myself. The interior had a fabulous island Filipino vibe with greens and oranges. The staff was diverse and accommodating. I spilled my water in the first minutes of my experience, and the staff was so quick and helpful to respond. My friend and I got drinks. I initially ordered Old Fashioned, and I can't remember what she first did, but it was purple, and I ended up liking hers more, so we traded. For appetizers, we got delicious dumplings and the roasted duck bun, which was also super tasty, and I highly recommend it. Regarding the main course, I came here for one mission, the beef Rib Ramen. Words can't fully express or comprehend how delicious this bowl of excellence was. So many flavors of spice balance in the broth accompanying fresh noodles, and laid enormously over the bowl is a four-hour roasted bone-in rib. Upon picking the rib up, the meat fell into the broth as if to say I was ready. It was simply delicious and, by far, one of the best meals I've ever had. The broth and noodles were also excellent and complemented the meal perfectly. My friend and I both enjoyed it as she also enjoyed her meal. Overall, this was the most accessible five stars I've ever given. Please enjoy Bite. They deserve your business. 5 out of 5“

“Of course, Shanghai Terrace has gotta be top notch as it's part of the Peninsula Group right? I gotta say though this go round, top notch feels like an understatement.Been here several times before and have been wanting to go again several times in the past year and a half but kept having to cancel our reservations till one day we didn't.The service aspect was exceptional. I've never had any problems with service here but this time, they made what has already been fantastic service into exceptional.See, in the past while the service has always been top notch, there has always been this very slight robotic character to it; not this time. This time, their service did not feel robotic at all. They were very engaged, made fantastic recommendations and took care of us really well.The food I mean; there's nothing not to like about it. We had some vegetable dumplings which were simply out of this world. We had a salad which was terrific. We ordered the happy rice (God I need to find out which region of China that comes from and get a recipe. It is GOOOOOOOD) and the noodles with all the meats which too was just amazing. The only thing that was not on mark was the crispy tofu. The first round that came was a little undercooked so we had to send it back. While the second time was cooked right, the outer layer seemed very different than what they have done in the past. The seasoning was a bit off and the outer layer was just thicker and crispier. Other than that though, this place rocks.“

“Authentic. Chinese. Street. Food!!! Here you can indulge in the flavors of food from ChenDu, which is the capital of Sichuan, in China! The spices and flavors in the dishes are so tasty. Here’s what I tried: Tempting Bon Bon Chicken Fiery Spicy Fries Delights Hot & Sour Fern Root Noodles Wholesome Wonton Chicken Soup Single Choice Hot Pot w/imitation crab meat Three Cannons ChengDu Osmanthus Cake Mango Soda Drink 芒果少女心 The Bon Bon Chicken was my favorite! It was so many flavors at once with the chili oil, soy sauce, slight sweetness and sesame oil. The Wonton chicken soup is so warm and comforting and the dumplings are made in house. I love how airy and modern the space is; there is room for big groups - which I really like. Put them on your list to visit and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!“

“The Peking duck three ways is the absolute move. The fried rice is good The egg rolls are excellent and the Chinese broccoli and bok choy are the bomb. They were low on beers as far as selection but everything else is always top notch here. Make sure you get a reservation because they can sell out of duck fairly quickly“

“Nice restaurant, the food was delicious but the customer service wasn't good. We ordered 6 individual small dishes to share, we didn't get our complete order at the same time. They divided in 3...we had to wait long time to see and eat all the food. Hopefully next time they have better service. They didn't offer water.“

“It's been ~4 days since we ate at Lao Peng you, and I still can't stop thinking about it. We heard about this place through watching The Bear, and it definitely lived up to the hype! We ordered the pork & dill dumplings, and the Dan Dan noodles, and it's honestly hard to pick a favourite. One thing to be mindful of is that the dill flavour was very strong in the dumplings (I love dill so this wasn't an issue, but thought it might be worth mentioning). My husband and I shared these two dishes and found them to be more than enough for the two of us at lunchtime. I wish I lived in Chicago so I could come back more often and try more of the menu!“

“Decided to drop in and order food after watching John Oliver’s piece on how Grubhub and others cut into the margins.I’m happy I dropped by because Vito was really helpful, provided some employee suggestions on sauces, which I would not have had through the apps.The service was quick, friendly, and portions were good. If most to go experiences were like this I could see myself dropping in to take out food more often instead of ordering through delivery apps.“

“Went to try this place for my 1st time. When I went in I wasn't sure if I was in the right place. They have construction going on inside and there wasn't a name on the building or inside. Felt confused if I was in some type of office warehouse or something not sure. But I have to admit their food was amazing ?. They have so many choices to pick from. I definitely will be going back to try different plates. The price for the bowls is fair not over priced.“

“I tried the braised beef soup with wide noodle and the Biang Biang Wide noodles and I definitely liked the Biang Biang the best. It has more flavor and it was different than all the other hand pulled noodles I've tried. 10/10 would recommend.“

“I went in because I was craving affordable sushi and wanted to try a new place. To my surprise no sushi offered at this time :( Oh well. I was suggested the lunch special. It was a good deal and was fresh. General Tso's Chicken- The chicken was juicy with a nice crisp breading. The sauce was tangy, sweet and spicy! Yum :) The rice had a really good onion flavor with the right wok char. Not greasy and will leave you feeling good and satisfied. As for the location I found free street parking across the street. The place was quiet and clean.“

“came in at midnight after a concert. our waitress was super sweet and attentive. i got the Niku Udon while my boyfriend got the Tonkatsu w/ curry sauce! we shared a plate of takoyaki which was also really delicious. I highly recommend the Niku Udon if you're looking for a refreshing bowl of broth and noodles late at night. I didn't catch a picture of the restaurant's interior, but it's decorated with lanterns and famous Japanese artwork with a nice dim lighting that makes the place extra comfy. 10/10 late night spot.“

“I’ve gone here multiple times and done takeout multiple times. It is honestly a favorite neighborhood gem. The service when dining in is truly great and some of the best in Lakeview!! The food is always consistent and the atmosphere is quite adorable…great for friends or date night - either way! Thank you to the staff! A young gentleman was our server twice and he was phenomenal.Favorites: Shanghai Lo Mein & Mongolian Beef“

“The chili chicken was one of the best entrées I’ve had in the last 10 years. Their food is fantastic every time that we’ve been there and the service cannot be beat. This is a great family owned establishment and there’s no reason to go to any other Chinese restaurant in the city of Chicago Stars.“

“We went to furama for dim sum & drag! delicious dishes with lots of vegetarian options and fun drinks. Beautiful big room, perfect for the event! Employees were helpful and accommodating for dietary restrictions. Will definitely be returning!“

“Was seated immediately w/o a reservation, even on a very busy Saturday night. Service was lightning-fast, barely had time to sit down before water and hot tea was already delivered. Amazing selection of dim sum, ordered a variety of dishes and was more and more pleased with each dish as it arrived.Cannot recommend this place enough.“

“The best hotpot I’ve ever been to in Chicago, IL.The whole restaurant was filled with large groups of people. Love the tomato and original broth. We got the all you can eat option and the lamb and garlic beef tasted great. I was able to reserve on the website with my group of 8 without any problems. Quick and good service!“

“The food here is simply amazing from start to finish in each bite you taste the authentic way. The portions are reasonably great. The atmosphere is even better. The service is Top-tier The picture below is a takeout order with a combination of chicken, fried rice, sweet-and-sour chicken, Mongolian beef and of course, an eggroll. This is a family owned business located right in the heart of Elmwood Park on North Avenue if you have not tried them for or carry out or delivery what are you waiting for because you’re missing out hibachi, which is located in their back dining area separate they offer Specialty drinks to your Vikings this is one of my favorite“

“What a lovely marvel - a mid century modern, quietly spacious Chinese restaurant with a select menu that fits in a small, two page flyer. The service was super friendly and gracious, all questions answered. We had a small dim sum lunch and each dish was prepared to order, some of the best I've had - steamed shrimp dumplings, bbq pork bau, sticky rice with pork wrapped in a leaf and steamed. Even the subtle music - beautiful jazz singing - made us happy. I so want to come back to this gem next time I'm in CHI.“

“Also known as Asawon, my family has been coming to Peking Mandarin for decades. This is one of the few remaining classic Chinese-Korean restaurants that serve a lot of Chinese-American food and a handful of Chinese-American dishes that are enormously popular among Koreans. They also serve excellent champong, a classic spicy seaweed soup that is not too dissimilar to menudo, sans the tortillas. The trio of dishes we usually get are the spicy chicken wings aka lollipop wings (also available in boneless pork here), sweet and sour chicken (tan sauce, vs. the orange sauce in the American Chinese version), and black bean noodles. Last time we also threw in Mongolian Beef, which was surprisingly outstanding. Not sure if it was just a lucky day but the beef was infused with a smoky wok hei, unlike most Mongolian Beef dishes that are usually kind of watery and bland. I also like the black mushrooms & tofu, a classic Chinese American dish. The popular wings can sometimes be a little overcooked but the thick spicy sauce is usually on point. The primary competitor, Great Seas down the street, might have slightly better wings in a thinner more nuanced sauce, but the black bean noodles here are more generously sauced and slightly better, I think. I go back and forth between which restaurant that I prefer. My spouse prefers Great Seas wings but my family prefers Peking Mandarin for the other dishes and overall. They have large tables and are used to serving large groups, especially on weekends. The service is just fair and can be almost non-existent when they are busy. Be patient and bring cash. The decor is outdated but people here are regulars who come for the food, not to be impressed by interior design. This is one of the Chicago pillar restaurants devoted to food, not trends. I feel like those keep closing - let's keep this one open.Parking: Parking can be tight - we usually manage to find a spot in the diag spaces on St. Louis south of Lawrence.“

“I cannot stop thinking about the pork fried rice! Everything was daintily chopped and perfectly balanced. Next level delicious. However, the roast duck dim sum was not crisp and mostly bones. On a side note, there are two dining rooms; we were led to the tiny stark one although the finer of the two was not busy….“

“Genuinely my favorite hole-in-the-wall in all of Chicago. We don't need to talk about how much I've been here - it would embarrass you because you've never been that committed to anything. You don't go here to hang; you go here to slap exactly $17 in cash on the counter, tell them you came to pick up a large order of BBQ pork fried rice, and then leave to go and house that on your own because you deserve it goddammit. Seriously though, this place has no vibe, just take your magical tasting food and go home with it. They put all their effort into flavor and don't need to be bothered by how their restaurant made your insta story look. This also may seem expensive for fried rice, but this is some of the best stuff in the city, and one order is easily two meals - they heap the portions so big that it barely fits in the container Note: There's an ATM if you forgot cash“

“In Chengdu, the dumplings taste great and are so authentic that they are endlessly memorable. In addition to dumplings, their grilled fish is also very good and delicious. The deliciousness of the dumplings is especially worth mentioning, every bite is the ultimate enjoyment for the taste buds.At Chengdu Image, the dumplings are incredibly delicious and authentically flavored, leaving a lasting impression. Besides the dumplings, the grilled fish is also quite good, with a delightful taste. The deliciousness of the dumplings deserves special mention, as each bite offers a supreme pleasure to the taste buds.“

“If you read any of the reviews for Al's Drive In online, people have a ton of nostalgia for this place. I find nostalgia for a restaurant can play a negative role for those who don't have the association, but that wasn't the case for me who only ate here for the first time today. The Chicago dog and super taco were solid but the combination fried rice was the hero for me. Never thought l'd find this kind of wok hei flavor from a Chicago Red Hots institution in Maywood, IL that would remind me so much of the fried rice I grew up with at my Chinese immigrant family's restaurant in Arizona. Honestly just throw in some bean sprouts and you'd have a 1:1 copy. I may not have the same nostalgia that a lot of the usuals have with Al's, but that familiar taste of home is so present in every bite of this fried rice. I'm immediately transported to teenage me devouring a large combination fried rice at my own family's restaurant after working a full day's 12hr shift in the summer and immediately passing out in my bed when I got home. I wish I had started coming here sooner.“

“I have been on a hunt for the best Chinese spot in Chicago. I found it. I ordered the combo fried rice, Kung Pao chicken, Mongolian beef, and hot and sour soup. It was by FAR the best Mongolian beef and Kung pao chicken I have ever had. Insanely good, like I still can't get over it. The rice was good, nothing crazy, but good. The hot and sour soup was incredible. Vinegary, and rich, but still flavorful. I love that they added a bunch of green onions, definitely enhanced the flavor. This place was so good, that I am already planning on ordering from them tomorrow. Please try this spot out. WOW, that's all I can say.“

“Must order. We are Chinese in the neighborhood and first time order. Unbelievable their food better than the restaurant in Chinatown. So delicious and good price. The restaurant is clean and good customer service. We will order again and again . Thank “

“Good food. I usually hit sushi spots, ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI. I was kind of iffy about trying a new spot for almost 30, but for the new experience I had to try. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Plenty of flavor. Crab Rangoon is good. Might actually be a new spot for me.“

“Great hand made noodles, price was very reasonable for the dish I got, and the room was cute and well kept. It's not fancy fine dining, with all the extra fluff but it was a great place to pop in for dinner from the hotel I was staying at around the corner.“

“Visiting from Dallas and this food is awesome! The flavor is bold - the right amount of spice and garlic. I think this is the best Kung Pao we have ever had. Can’t wait to eat here again because everything going to other tables looked amazing!“

“the food is always incredible, perfectly light and filling at the same time! The crispy chicken aioli baowich always wins and the creative baonuts hit the sweet tooth without knocking it out. I cant recommend this place enough, amd so far I've only done delivery! huge soft spot for being the first bit of food I was able to keep down and enjoy on a very sick day. THANK YOU FOR AWESOME, COMFORTING, DELICIOUS FOOD!“

“I've ordered from this place 4 times and it never disappoints! My 7yr old granddaughter came over so we ordered Chinese food from here today and she absolutely loved it! She said grandma why havnt we ordered this delicious food before ..lol I always get the Mongolian beef, egg rolls, crab Rangoon! Everthing is delicious!“

“Stopped here to pick up dinner and to check out the food. The fried rice was very fresh filled with lots of veggies. Egg rolls were decent and much better than most restaurants. Woman was extremely nice and food was freshly prepared and fast.. will definitely be back to try other options.“

“Great food! We have only had it delivered, have not been in the restaurant. Very satisfied with the food and time to prepare it. Fresh ingredients with lots of flavor and big portions! Have been happy with everything we've ordered and have ordered several times. Highly recommend for delivery or pick-up, cannot speak to sit-down experience.“

“Finally made it here last Saturday. I was expecting to encounter overhyped food but was gladly mistaken. Everything we had was fresh to order. I do not have any complaints. We will definitely be going back to try other items. I have tried many Asian restaurants and have been mostly let down. This restaurant and Wah Sun are the only restaurants I will go to.“

“Returning tomorrow after about ten years or more. The restaurant is very tight between tables so it wasn’t handicapped friendly for my late mother who loved this place prior to being on a wheelchair, which is one reason why we stopped going there. Cleanliness was another issue, especially the washroom. I hope the restaurant has improved.“

“Sooo fantastic! I asked for wonton soup..Korean wings & spring rolls. I'll say that I will be a FOREVER customer now..the wings were the BEST I've ever had,so crunchy and the seasoning was spot on~the flavor was mmmmMMmm also ,the soup tasted like it was JUST made.. i was really happy when i saw that i was given rice as well! ..most importantly for me, this food was REALLY clean and by that I mean -ingredients that were selected & prepared with intent..no "after taste" no grease..just delicious homemade honest food! Thank you!Parking: Wouldn't ever be an issue“

“Love the place food is amazing but only thing I would like to have pictures added to the menu since I ordered one wrong plate but it was delicious nonetheless recommend it ? just need to know what you are ordering or ask to see or explained“

“Ordered from here for the first time, as it’s super close by and I’m beyond impressed. They left a nice personalized note with my order and the food was to die for. I had the crispy garlic sesame fusion chicken bowl with the garlic butter fried rice and chicken dumplings. The combination of flavors was amazing and for a great price. I can’t wait to try more things on the menu. Thank you so much! Sorry didn’t take a picture of the food as I couldn’t wait to dive in. It looked scrumptious!“

“I’ve been getting food from here (mostly carry out) for more than 10 years and the food is still delicious! One of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants. My husband loves their pho, my son loves their pork over rice, and my favorite is the sate soup and noodles. The staff there are very nice too! Thank you Hoanh Long!Just writing this review is making me hungry! hehe“

“We had dinner after a long day and we wanted something easy and delicious. The staff here is always kind and hospitable.Their take on General Tsoa and Orange chicken are fantastic. Dinner portions are always enough for almost two meals.Great neighborhood Chinese restaurant!“

“Was drawn in by the vegetarian sign. The interior is unassuming and not typical restaurant vibe. But it quickly filled with people and the food was absolutely delicious. HUGE portions. The service was wonderful, like a family kitchen atmosphere. Multiple people recommend things to me and I was waited on by very sweet ladies.“

“delicious, consistent, good portions, hole in the wall. their orange chicken is a bit different from panda but in my opion, better, especially if you order them spicy. very friendly staffs too, if you don't know what you want they can always make great recommendations.“

“I tried this restaurant for the first time today because my favorite local restaurant is closed on Mondays-but I think I may have found a new favorite here! The food was amazing. I got delivery and everything was hot and packaged with care. I had a slight issue with my order, not because of the restaurant, but due to the 3rd party delivery service that I ordered with. The man who called me on the phone from the restaurant was very polite, understanding, and accommodating, and he quickly resolved the problem. I ordered the Mongolian (beef), sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and crab rangoons. Everything was perfect! I will definitely be back again.“

“Really really good dumplings!! Our food came out super quick and were reasonably priced. We ordered the chicken, lamb, and truffle/beef dumplings. They were all so delicious that we went back and ordered seconds before we even finished our first order. The truffle/beef dumplings were by far my favorite. Make sure to get them pan fried too!“
