Enter from upper Michigan Ave., not from the mall.
One of the best Chinese places in town. Tricky entrance, but the resto looks ok. Love their won tons, the spicy chicken and curcumin lamb. Must try!
Vegan food. Hot and sour soup, wonton soup, Mongolian seitan, pan fried tofu with szechuan sauce.
Love love this place, the food is amazing and never disappoints. Very good orange chicken and it looks and taste like chicken unlike other places!
Great place for a First Date. If the Date doesn't work out, you will continue to have a relationship w/ Yummy Yummy. Chinese Cuisine is delicious and it will leave you sated! Delivery available too!
Boiled sole in spicy Szechuan sauce. Delicious.
Very authentic. Expect dishes to be spicy. The garlic sliced pork is a bit on the saltier side, however still delicious. The fish and soft tofu dish is classic and a must!
hot and sour soup and new mwxican roll are great!
Go to Big Bowl and order the spicy szechuan beef and cover it with the red hot sauce (that you have to ask for separately). Cherry coke goes really well with it too!
awesome and cheap American Asian food

Best Chinese food in the area! Egg rolls are amazing. Also try Szechuan chicken
Best Chinese north of Chinatown. The crab rangoon is absolutely the best I've ever had! Everything is super fresh and super delicious.
Everything I've had at this place is great. Especially the egg rolls!
Pancake Northern Style, Tony's Special Pot Stickers (skinny and cigar like),
Tony's Special Pot Stickers: The thin and crispy layers of dough kind of resemble phyllo, but aren't nearly as heavy as you'd imagine. Instead, each crackly bite gives way to a seasoned ground pork.

Good place to eat for cheap. Orange chicken was good. Must try the noodle soup. It's pretty big. One will feed two, so will their plates of food.
Great Hong Kong style noodles and wonton and the price.....awesome
Mongolian beef is my favorite! Szechuan chicken is good too, but be warned: It's on the sweet and tangy end of the spectrum.
Turn around. Do not come in!
Butter Chicken <thumbs up>
Very good orange chicken & amazing sushi :-)
One of the better chinese restaurants in Chicago. Also has thai food on their menu.
Love the egg rolls, potstickers, and shrimp toast for starters. For entrees, we like shrimp kung pow, governor's chicken, and chicken basil fried rice. Wonderfully delicious!!
Duck and turnip cake salad is superb. The oxtail potstickers were also good but man that salad is unbeatable.
Dim sum for 11 isn't a small venture but Yum Cha was INCREDIBLE. All dumplings, octopus, cauliflower...really everything. Our server made great recs and we ordered two of everything.
Downtown for dim sum for real!
Fast delivery, great mongolian beef, full of veggies!
Some of the food is tasty and the owner is very nice. Not a fan of the egg fu young :(
Great place, good food, professional staff
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
