    Orange and General Tso Chicken
    Joneice B.

    3.5 stars . Ordered takeout because I didn't want to cook. This place was nearby and I need a local chinese joint. Ugh what was good: cost, fast delivery, correct order and amount of food. Dissatisfied with the hot wing. I almost want to throw them away. Don't buy these. I tried to add sweet chili, sauce but still no bueno. I ordered Orange Chicken & General Tso Chicken. Both of these good flavor. White rice was included but was kinda hard for steamed rice. All in all, probably would try a different spot before ordering here again.

    102. Vegetable Egg Roll  Came with meat
    Karlie T.

    Makes me really sad because I love crab Rangoon's so much but these are the worst I have ever had in my life. They even stink they taste so bad. You just cannot simply eat it, it stinks. I also ordered 4 veggie egg rolls, they had meat in them so I could not eat them. Let's just say my stomach is TORE up. Also this is not the first time I've had an issue with the crab Rangoon's. It's nearby so I though I'd give them a second chance. Bad batch right? Yeah no. Even the egg roles stink, do they change the oil? Sorry to go in so hard but I just wanted to warn everyone. // I'm from St.Louis so maybe I'm spoiled with my Chinese food because these other reviews just don't make sense. Can I get a refund?

    Orange chicken
    Sarah S.

    Cheng Chopsticks in Logan Square has pretty good food at pretty good prices. Some items are a bit better than others so let's break it down. Crab Rangoon ($3.45 for 4 pcs) - Pretty darn good. None of that half filled dough encasement here. They have a lot of cream cheese and are ooey, gooey, goodness as far as I'm concerned. Orange Chicken - Most flavorless of the dishes I tried. It wasn't spicy in terms of heat or any sort of real taste. I'd skip ever getting this again because I want a little heat with my orange chicken! Sesame Chicken - This dish was average to me. Liked it, didn't love it, not the best sesame chicken I've had, but not the worst...so...very middle of the road. Sweet & Sour Pork - The best of the meat dishes but the lunch special didn't include a lot of meat. Mostly veggies. Great flavor in this one though and would order it again, just may ask for less veggies. Vegetable Eggrolls ($3.75 for 2) - Loved these. Pretty standard in taste and size, exactly what I was looking for when I ordered them. Shrimp Fried Rice - Standard and solid. Their lunch specials come with an eggroll & a drink for $7 which is a great deal. All the chicken dishes use white meat which is lovely. They pack a good amount of sweet & sour sauce, napkins, silverware, pretty much everything you need and they aren't stingy about it. I wouldn't rush to order from Cheng Chopsticks again and would probably try a new spot in the future. However for cheap eats that are decent, it's a good option.

    Pretty standard but staple neighborhood Chinese take out joint. They do Lunch specials - around $6.75 before 3 pm and later $8 but comes with a choice of rice/shrimp fried rice, 1 egg roll, an entree and a pop. It served me for 2 meals and I still had leftovers which I think was too generous. General Tso's chicken was better than Orange chicken which lacked flavor in my opinion. Egg rolls were not great. Shrimp rice was the typical take out rice. Service was super fast. Overall decent! I will return

    L2. General Tso's Chicken
    Jamie W.

    Really great general tso's chicken and potstickers! The food was both high quality and flavorful, and tasty, greasy comfort food you want from take out. We also LOVED the crab rangoon. More savory than sweet, which is what we prefer.

    ONE general Tso lunch special
    Jimmy S.

    Haven't ordered from here since 2020 but knew when that biennial craving for some takeout kicked in today that Cheng chopsticks was always my go-to for great portions and consistent quality. If you're nearby, I recommend calling them to order as my subtotal rang up to 9.15 for their lunch special (look at the size of this thing, a little less than half the order filled up my separate plate!)

    Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen is the underground emperor of late-night Chinese food in Chicago, the spot…read moreyour Uber driver, your bartender, and every chef in the city whispers about when they're truly hungry. Tucked into a no-frills corner on the South Side, Dai Yee's looks modest from the outside, but step in after 10 p.m. and it's pure magic. The room is packed with everybody--sneakerheads, nurses coming off shift, club kids, cops, and couples on first dates who somehow heard the legend. The vibe is chaotic in the best way: woks roaring, orders flying, and that unmistakable perfume of sizzling garlic, ginger, and chili filling the air. The food is straight-up stupid good. The Hong Kong-style salt & pepper smelts are crackly, spicy, and gone in 30 seconds. The beef chow fun has that elusive wok hei (breath of the wok) that most places only dream of, wide rice noodles slick with smoky char and tender flank steak. The black pepper beef tenderloin is velvet-soft, glossy, and aggressively peppery in a way that makes you order extra rice just to survive the happiness. The Singapore noodles are bright curry perfection, and the Mongolian beef is saucy, crispy-edged, and borderline addictive. Portions are straight out of the 90s--massive trays that could feed a family of four for under $15. Cash-only, BYOB, and everything comes out blazing hot in under ten minutes even when the place is slammed. The ladies running the show are legends: fast, funny, and they'll roast you (lovingly) if you can't handle the spice level you asked for. If you leave Chicago without hitting Dai Yee's at least once (preferably at 1 a.m. with a six-pack), you didn't really experience the city. This is real-deal, no-filter, soul-satisfying Chinese food that reminds you why we fall in love with restaurants in the first place. Dai Yee's isn't just a restaurant; it's a Chicago institution in the making. I'd wait in line in a blizzard for those smelts. See you at midnight.

    Went here on a whim last night after reading all the glowing reviews on Yelp. Before that, I…read morechecked out a few eateries on the 4th floor of the Nordstrom building, but nothing really stood out, and honestly, none of them seemed very busy and the one restaurant Lao Sze Chuan was way too expensive, $30+ entrees were average and the place wasn't busy at all. So I decided to try Shang Noodle, which was tucked away on a side street off Grand Ave., just steps from Michigan Ave. It's across from the Nordstrom building, past Labriola's, down some steps and about a block away located on the south side of the street. As soon as I walked in, and I wasn't expecting this but the restaurant was extremely loud and nearly every seat was taken and everybody seemed to be enjoying themself, families, couples and groups. I figured that was a good sign and it signaled to me that the food was probably good! At first, the host wanted me to sit at the bar, which I politely declined because I don't usually sit at bars, also, I was there to eat, not pick up somebody! I noticed a small table open, pointed it out, and he kindly let me take it. No 'tude either! As far as my server goes, she was efficient, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations since it was my first visit and probably because I didn't look like the other customers who were more familiar with the cuisine. She suggested the pot stickers over the hot and sour soup, and the beef Chow Fun instead of chicken Chow Fun. The pot stickers were a little small, but crispy and very tasty. I also asked for some sweet and sour sauce on the side which I'm glad I did because it paired nicely with the pot stickers instead of that plain vinegar sauce they usually serve you. For my main dish, I ordered the char-grilled beef Chow Fun. The portion size was more than generous, and the char-grilled beef had a great umami flavor. A few of the rice noodles were a bit firm, likely undercooked, but overall though it was quite enjoyable. What I appreciated the most about Shang Noodle was the value. $18 for the beef Chow Fun and $9 for the pot stickers felt reasonable to me, considering it was on the dinner menu, the portion sizes were humongous and the restaurant was located on the Near North Side, which is usually quite pricey. I'll definitely be back, though next time I may try lunch instead, or go with friends of mine.
