I added boba and it was chewy and sweet as well. The thai ice coffee is made stroong but was pretty good. my husband said it was too sweet. the Vegetable Lo Mein was not bad but the vegetables used seemed really old. the noodles were good but I pretty much took out all the vegetables except for the broccoli. Would recommend getting the lo mein with a different topping. We got takeout. The only complaint I have would be how the drinks were packaged. They put straws in the drinks and put plastic wrap to cover the tops (I assume to stop it from spilling) but I would've preferred putting the straws in myself. They also put the drinks in a brown, paper bag but filled it with ice (to keep the drinks cold I assume, which they were). The ice was melting and I didn't know there was ice in there with the drinks so there was a puddle on my floor and I spilled the melted ice water on myself when I lifted the bag. It wasn't a huge deal but thought I would mention in case anyone plans to buy drinks for takeout.

Excited to see a dim sum restaurant opened in downtown Oak Park. Unfortunately, their dim sum is…read morenot very good. Honestly, you will be better off going to an Asian market like H-Mart and buying frozen dim sum and making it at home . . . or maybe that is exactly what they actually serve here. The dim sum here is very small in size and lack flavor. Sui mais are usually pork and shrimp wrapped dumplings. These were small and filled with mushy shrimp. The bean curd roll had no flavor and was smaller than a cannoli. What they serve is outrageous and an insult to anyone who has had "real" dim sum. The sticky rice actually had some flavor with minimal savory filling and was the only thing passable on the menu. If you are desperate in having dim sum, I guess Sweet Dim Sum would fit the bill. Definitely, lower your expectations though on the quality and quantity of their dim sum. Sorry, but if I ever go back, it would be just to order their signature drinks. They couldn't mess that up, could they?

I think they're trying, but the dishes very much lack quality. Is it fair to rate this place…read moreagainst Chinatown? No, but Chinatown isn't that far of a drive, so it is disappointing that this Oak Park alternative wouldn't qualify as decent. When we walked in, there was a case of Mille crepe cakes, which looked homemade but didn't look very appetizing as they looked like pancakes stacked on and filled with whipped cream. We opted to try bubble teas and some savory dim sum. The cost of the soup dumplings was so astronomical that I could not justify purchasing four dumplings for $13.50. Also considering you can get a giant bag from Costco for that same price and it probably tastes better. The shrimp and chives cakes were honestly the best and they were just okay. The rice crepes were so bad. You can tell they were previously frozen and put into the microwave because it was falling apart. The shrimp was colorless. The veggie one we got was inedible; we sent it back. They wanted to make it right and gave us complementary mochi donuts. It was a nice gesture that we appreciated. We still ended up going to Katy's across the street because we did not feel like we had a sufficient dinner. There are no sauces here. If you ask, they'll give you the tiniest amount of sauce. There are also no chopsticks. Unless things really turn around, I'm inclined to save my money here and make the short trip to Chinatown.

For this particular day, I needed comfort food to get over a little cold. I was super congested. So I ordered online with some special requests and I was SO touched that they accommodated all of them -- including my ask for the original chilled broccoli appetizer that they no longer serve. They knew exactly what I was talking about tho! They also delivered on making my curry very spicy, which definitely cleared out my congestion haha. It's a cute spot on Chicago and Harlem with plenty of seating, open floor with great natural light, and plenty of parking (sometimes it's meter). Always one of our staples!

We ordered takeout from Li Hing and tried a wide variety of dishes, which gave us a great overall…read moreimpression of the menu. We had General Tso's chicken, BBQ fried rice, shrimp fried rice, crab rangoons, and vegetable lo mein. The vegetable lo mein was a standout--flavorful, well-seasoned, and really delicious. The crab rangoons were also tasty and nicely crisp. The General Tso's chicken had good flavor, but the pieces were very large, which made them a bit harder to eat and less balanced with the sauce. It was off putting to me. The fried rice was okay overall, but it felt a bit plain. It could have used more ingredients mixed in--especially more egg--to give it more flavor and texture.

Li Hing serves fairly good Cantonese style food. However, the service was poor on my last visit to…read morethis restaurant. They seem to do more takeout orders than dine-in. Pickup service was extremely slow. I had placed my order at 5:35pm and was told it would be ready in 25 minutes. I arrived at 6:00pm to find people using their dining tables to wait on their pickup order. I heard a lot of cooking going on in the kitchen, but not a lot of food was flowing out. It was about 6:30pm when I questioned why it was taking an hour and after threatening to cancel my order, it was miraculously ready within 5 minutes. I have a lot of patience, but waiting an excess of 30 minutes over the estimated time is unreasonable. I guess my first clue that there was a problem was that they didn't answer the phone until after a 3rd attempt when I tried to place my order. Thinking they were extremely busy, I noticed they weren't really busy at least to answer the phone while I was sitting there waiting for my order. They just simply let the phone ring. This could have been a way for them to slow down the orders and get the kitchen to catch up. I don't think that is a good strategy to run a successful restaurant. Food: 3/5. Service: 1/5.

As I found my table, I was looking at the decor which was clean and modern. I scoped out the buffet and tried numerous items, hot pepper, chicken, egg roll, orange, chicken, broccoli beef, and other items. The selection wasn't huge but just right sized so you don't get overwhelmed. The items that I tried was hot and good. Nothing really seemed to wow me. The sushi was OK. They even have an ice cream machine even though I did not try that maybe for next time. But if I'm in a neighborhood, I would definitely go there again.

It's such a great concept because pho and beer go so well together. There's free street parking, and the restaurant is well-lit and easy to find. Our group had some vegans, so safe to say their vegetarian pho was approved by the vegans. The broth had strong mushroom flavor, but they loved that there were tons of veggies and huge portions. I enjoyed the beef tendon pho, and the broth was SO flavorful and tasty. The noodles were cooked to perfection. The ambiance could do with some more aesthetic shifts. It seems like the bar part is disjointed from the kitchen and dining area. The seating area is great for groups and we saw some young kids there too, soft and cushy seating options. There was only one server running the entire joint. And we saw one chef (Vietnamese yay authenticity) making the food. Management needs to hire more staff! Pho is great. Lots of cool beers like Vietnamese rice lager and some interesting sours with flavors like dragonfruit and guava. It just had such an eclectic mix of interior vibes.
