It is so delicious!! I really wanted to order another bowl after the first bite. The beef flanks are so tender. It was unfortunate that I didn't have any tomatoes in the soup. Overall I was very surprised with how delicious it taste. The server also showed me all the displayed sauces when I went to pick up the order. I appreciated his help and his recommendations. They charged me for a credit card convenience fee when I paid in cash but I'm sure it was an honest mistake. The place is quite hidden, but the food is worth a second visit!

UPDATED Daniel-- I…read moredo love a good pizza!! But yes, I also love Chinese food. If I were to rank this kind of thing, it's probably my fourth favorite, after Thai, Indian, and Vietnamese. I'd place pizza in about 5th place. Having said that, two of my top 10 favorite restaurants in Chicago are Chinese restaurants - one right around the corner from you! Moon Palace Express used to be in my top 20 for sure, and possibly in my top 10 for a good stretch of time post-Covid. I was eating there at least twice a week, and loved almost everything I tried on the menu. My two favorites were probably the General Tso's and the Kung Pao chicken. So spicy and flavorful! That's what made today's bland lunch so disappointing. Thanks for the response to my initial review. I haven't had ice cream in about a year but you've just made me crave some!! This used to be one of my top three Chinatown spots. I've had several things off the menu, and they've all gone downhill. Today I ate there for the last time. I hadn't been for a year because the last few times things were not great, but today I was craving it. I thought maybe things had bounced back. If I were to close my eyes and take a hit of this Kung Pao chicken, I would guess that it was rice in a bowl of lukewarm warm water, with some old, soggy, tasteless chunks of an indistinguishable vegetable. Quite possibly the worst kung pao chicken I've ever had, and one of the worst meals in general in months. I will never go back here.

I had the pleasure of doing lunch with Dan, the keyboards for Blues Legend Buddy Guy, and I was overjoyed to learn he loved DimSum. I jumped at the chance to try the Chinatown location. We had a bunch of varied stuff from the DimSum Menu, and it was all top top notch. Cant remember exactly what we had, it's a picture menu, and as the waiter didnt seem to speak much English, it was point and shoot. All of it was distinctively yum. Like just about every place you can go in Chinatown, the premises appear slightly run-down, in that "we've been here for a hundred years, and you're coming here to eat, not ogle the architecture" way. Turned out not to be cheap-bill for 2 = $80 + change without any booze. But the quality of the food was over the top. Don't mind paying the freight, when the feed is worth it.

Both the service and quality of food has gone way down from what they were famous for. The waitress spilled my tea, also dipped her finger in my tea, had no apology or offer to exchange it with a fresh cup. I had to ask her for a fresh cup of tea. Then the other server that brought our entrees spilled my husbands tea and again no offering to getting a fresh cup. We had to ask AGAIN for a fresh cup! While the portions were generous, the quality of all the food has gone way down. The special family recipe of thier shrimp dish Gan Pong is nothing but fried shrimp with dried chili peppers and no flavor. The Hunan spicy beef and chicken appeared to be all globs and sticky because of excessive and over use of corn starch used during the cooking process. This dish didn't have any unique flavor that one would expect. Previously we had experienced a difference in the food, taste and quality and that's what kept us returning. Sadly, after this experience I wouldn't recommend it to anyone or come back! I'd rather stick with Yu's Mandarin than drive to this place! Quality always wins over quantity in my books!

Kari's Rating 8/10…read more This is my only place I ever come to for soup dumplings in Chinatown. We wanted to order a few different things so we also were able to order the orange chicken, the Korean barbecue short rib ribs, and of course the pork and shrimp dumplings. The first batch of soup dumplings were broken and I asked politely if they could redo the order as all of the soup was underneath the plate through the steamer. Our server was incredibly nice about it, and they took full responsibility as they prepared us a fresh batch. I really appreciate the extra time they took to remake them as 6/8 were broken. I've not ordered the orange chicken before, and it was a little too orangey. If you can imagine like it almost tasted like a thick orange juice syrup, but the chicken was relatively crispy and the portion sizes were pretty large. It also came with a side of rice, which was plenty for the both of us. The Korean short ribs were also really good and were also relatively plentiful, but a few pieces were very chewy and a little bit grizzly so that made it difficult to swallow. They were very full of flavor, but I think the texture was just a little bit rubbery. Overall, again, I think this is a really good place to go to for soup dumplings, and the rest of the food is over overall kind of meh. But I didn't mind it because I've been coming here for years and I try to be a loyal customer.

Our large group was accommodated easily, and we were served relatively quickly after an initial delay while we were waiting for someone to come by. Food came soon after that. We ordered a wide range of things: honey shrimp, beef tripe, pork intestine, Hong Kong style fried noodles. Everything here is solid and delicious. Portions are reasonable too. Ambience is nice, clean, and modern. Only issue while we were here is that some in our group tried to order their baked chicken over spaghetti and they were out of spaghetti. Interesting basic ingredient to be short on here, but rice was not a bad substitute. Would definitely come back here if ever back in Chicago!

You can always count on Chi Cafe for a satisfying meal when hungover. Things have definitely changed over the years. After COVID, the hours became more limited, and the neighborhood has faced challenges that have unfortunately affected the area's late-night scene. It's sad but Chi Cafe still delivers when you're craving quick, comforting food. Whether it's a bowl of noodles, , baked rice dishes, Hong Kong-style cafe classics, or a late-night snack, the menu has plenty of options that satisfy those comfort food cravings. It's the kind of place where you know exactly what you're getting, and sometimes that's exactly what you want. The biggest downside is that prices have increased noticeably over the years while portions seem to have gone in the opposite direction. What used to feel like an incredible value now feels like a clear case of shrinkflation. The portions are smaller, and the bill is definitely higher than it used to be, which can be a little disappointing for longtime customers who remember the old days. Even with those changes, I still find myself coming back here just not as often. There's a nostalgia factor that's hard to replace, and the food continues to hit the spot when I'm looking for something warm, filling, and familiar. For me, Chi Cafe remains one of those places that may not be quite what it used to be, but it's still worth visiting when you're in the neighborhood and looking for a dependable meal.

That alone already reduces stress. There is also plenty of seating, so we did not feel rushed or cramped. The decor is a bit dated, but nothing deal-breaking. Unfortunately, the xiao long bao did not hit the mark. The skin was too thick, and the dumplings themselves were much larger than they should be . The potstickers had the same issue, with thick wrappers overpowering the filling. The spicy wontons were also disappointing. They were mostly wrapper with very little filling, and the spicy sauce was not spicy or flavorful. It just felt like the wontons were coated in oil. On the brighter side, the oxtail casserole was my favorite dish. The flavor was there and the oxtail was nice and tender. Just a heads up, it is quite salty, so it definitely needs to be eaten with rice. The beef noodles were good for me, but my husband thought the broth was a little too sour, which he did not enjoy. Lastly, they have soy milk, which always pairs well with Chinese breakfast-style food and was a nice touch. Overall, some hits and some misses. I was really hoping for better dumplings, but there were a few dishes that showed promise.
