I have not been here in 10 plus years, my GF has never been to China Town so I had the perfect reason to come and enjoy some of the most delicious Orange Chicken if not the best Orange Chicken I’ve ever had LOOOOOVVVVVE the crunchiness. She loved it and can’t wait to be back with her to enjoy some more of your delicious food.

We visited Chicago from Houston Texas and made our way to Chinatown after a White Sox Game 09/20/2025. We were looking for somewhere to eat and we’re a bit intimidated by the foreign language signage and weren’t really sure what we were getting ourselves into. However, we passed this place and our attention was drawn to familiar menu items pictured on the front of the building. It was 30 minutes until closing time and no one was in the restaurant except a local group of presumably Chinese folks enjoying a meal together. We were greeted and sat immediately and served hot tea. We got a medium wonton soup & beef with string greens. The portions were more than we needed by far and the tab was $28 (cheapest meal I’ve had in a restaraunt). That being said, 100% would recommend and we joke about flying ALL the way back to Chicago just to have dinner here.

I like trying different dishes here when I visit Chinatown. The mapo tofu is excellent and spicy. Steamed shrimp dumplings are a nice treat for sure. I also enjoyed the chicken feet in chef’s sauce, seriously. The menu has English and great pictures so it’s easy to explore. Inside is clean and inviting. Prices are reasonable too.

Highly recommended!
We’ll be back for sure.

Having a blast trying out Chinese food in Chicago Chinatown. The restaurant wasn’t busy when I visited but doesn’t mean the food is bad. The portion is huge and the price doesn’t seem to reflect the recent inflation.
Great Cantonese style cooking. Flavor is consistent what I expect from a decent Canto restaurant. This is not a chop suey place. Owner is quite friendly and will assist in answering questions about menu or request on something different.
This will become one of my go-to restaurant whenever I visit Chicago.

I’ve been a customer here for about 10 years. I really like this restaurant. Although I have a mainstay dish all of the other dishes I’ve tried have been good. I taken friends there. Everyone has enjoyed the food.
