The restaurant is VERY small so expect a wait but you can walk around Chinatown while you wait for your table. People were complaining about a 60 to 90 minute wait so people did pull out of line. They do charge you a $10 deposit that will be deducted from your bill. Definitely coming back when I am back in Chicago to try different dishes.

We ordered like the PERFECT amount of food and best variety. Roast duck: I honestly don't know if I've ever had duck before, but I'm a duck believer now. The skin on theirs was the perfect crispy shatter texture and the duck was sooooo juicy! I don't know why I was always so worried about it being gamey. They give you fluffy steamed bao buns, a sauce, and scallions on the side as well as duck fried rice! Turnip cake: Obviously a must any time I come to dim sum. I've never seen turnip in any other form than this. Japanese salt & pepper tofu: My FAVORITE dish ever. Any fried salt & pepper tofu always makes me happy. They use a creamy egg-like tofu and the outside is lightly crispy with amazing aromatics stir fried in. Steamed white rice on the side is perfect with this. Loved everything else my dinner buds picked and we were super full by the end! Service was good and food came out fast and scorching hot! ***Parking in the area is treacherous (not the restaurants fault, but reconsider driving if possible bc cell signal can be zero to none around the garages if you get lucky) ***Their website allows you to request a reservation as long as it's 3 hours before your desired time.

Potstickers: Nice thin skins, good crunchy pan fry on the bottom, slightly underseasoned filling. Sautéed bok choy: Crispy and light with a hint of garlic, easy and healthy. Biang Biang noodles: Interesting mix of strong flavors, which weren't quite my favorite. I found it to be a touch too salty, and I was surprised by the tomato. Trialing the thin noodles was probably the wrong move; the thick hand pulled ones would've stood up to the savorineas much better. Large portion. Beef noodle soup: The thick hand pulled noodles were homey and delicious, just the right texture with some alternating thin and thick chewiness that reminded me of home. The beef noodle soup was quite light without any real beef flavor, though comforting nonetheless. Some pieces of beef were chewier and not completely cooked through while others were tender and melt in your mouth. I'd return when in the mood for a bowl of thick hand pulled noodles and maybe some healthy sauteed vegetables.

When I want Chinese food, I go to China Ling. They have the best egg rolls and the best pot stickers. I love their orange chicken, and they cook the soy sauce into their fried rice. Their quality is consistent, and their prices are competitive. There can be a language barrier at times, but it's a small price to pay for such a fantastic restaurant. Give them a call! read more

The egg foo young is loaded with shrimp and it's fluffy with a really good gravy. The Mongolian Beef is packed full of vegetables and tender beef. It wasn't spicy to me. Next time I have to tell them to make it extra spicy. The only downside to me is the cost of extra green onion at 3.50. Ouch!! They give you the standard soy sauce and sweet and sour, any additional packets are .10. Not bad. Overall decent food at a decent price.

Keeping in mind, this is a cash only place, and I wanted to try as many dishes as possible. The first thing I noticed most items didn't have a smaller size. I asked if they have a dinner menu, such as the lunch menu. She said no and apologized. I wouldn't be able to what I wanted to try. I ended up getting a small chicken fried rice and that's it. I received my order took it home and placed it on my fancy paper plate. The first thing I noticed was the use of peas and carrots in the rice. I prefer mung beans and onion. And if peas and carrots come along for the ride, I'm cool with that. There was plenty of chicken with bits of fried egg. The flavor was okay but it was less than 6 bucks. Hmmm. I would love smaller sizes in the egg foo young and chop suey. I think the lunch menu gives you the most value. But I wasn't ready to spend almost 40 bucks to try my favorites.
