    Food is terrific(dry chili chicken!!), consistent and well portioned. Prices are fair. Service is warm and attentive. Space is comfortable and clean. Best Chinese in the neighborhood. Extra nice that it is BYOB.

    Delicious! Spicy Beef ramen was great. Will be back to try other things. Service was good too.

    Went here for dinner and had an absolutely phenomenal experience. The interior is stunning, super clean and provides a really nice ambiance. The food was BOMB. Our waiter gave us great recommendations and everything we tried was exceptional. Portions will make you happy and the prices are even better. The Sizzling Beef Tenderloin with Teriyaki Sauce was my personal favorite--absolutely heavenly. We also tried the Beef with Flat Rice Noodles and the Xiao Long Bao, and both were delicious! Their smoothies/boba are also really good. Well-priced and you get a big portion. My personal favorite is the mango coconut bubble milk with boba! I can't recommend this place enough. Try them out!!!! They do not disappoint.

    I really liked the ambiance and the dry chili chicken special! The food was favorable and well-priced. I would again if I wanted a cheap sit-down meal in the area! :)

    Me and my friend came here for lunch. Upon entering the restaurant, there was no patrons inside other than the chef who was sitting there talking loudly. The elder waitress was rushing to take our orders and upon receiving it she did not get us the right items . I had wanted less oil and salt but it seems like they' did the opposite. She also recited what I said completely opposite of what I had ordered. I asked more peppers= it was translated as less meat: It was salty and oily.the cumin lamb that I had ordered was brought out as deep fried lamb instead. Seems our server was not paying attention at all to our orders and just jot down whatever she felt was what we had wanted . The worst part was when our sizzling beef plate was brought to our table it tasted like expired meat. I wanted to say something but hesitated because 1. It was a Chinese run restaurant, 2. we already had a few pieces of "the meat" and seeing as we are Chinese they would have questioned if it was item or us .

    099. Mongolian Chicken

    This was a 11/10. I've ordered it multiple times since my first order not been a month ago lol. So so tasty and the fried rice I got with it was just as good. Crab rangoons were great as well but I forgot to snap a picture of them. This was an Uber eats order so no review on the restaurant itself

    Fried rice was super tasty, from the rice texture and flavor to protein tenderness, minimal veggies, and huge portion! In the past, I've also had their eggplant and pork ribs dishes - also delicious. I like the clean, spacious interior. Service was fine. It's a solid Chinese restaurant for everyone living by UIC and frequents Taylor st.

    Mongolian Beef combo with Tarot smoothie
    Michelle A.

    Love ML Kitchen!! I always count on this spot to deliver good food, reasonable prices and good service. I walked in on a Friday after work and sat right down. They have a lot of pickup orders. The Mongolian Beef is so tasty! On the back of the menu are generous combo selections that come with an entree, rice and crab rangoon. I opted for an egg roll instead. Dry Chili Chicken is another favorite. Never had this dish before and wow, amazing! It is a littleeee spicy, but it's chili, so of course it is. Get it!

    Kevin Z.

    Awesome takeout spot for authentic Chinese food, although the lamb dish was not what I expected. It's not going to blow you away and the dishes were on the oilier side, but they were delicious. Large portions as well. Perfect for a lazy night in.

Definitely will be ordered next time we go. The honey black pepper flank steak with very tender with a slight hint of the honey and pepper that really blended well together. The portion size was huge for the price which was similar to the shrimp dish. I couldn't believe the food quality for the price. 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.

I was able to get a last minute reservation for me and my friends, and we were even able to sit inside. The teapot "group" drink was hard to pour, but that was truly my only complaint of the night.

A few dishes, like the Duck Fried Rice, Pork Belly, and Beef Noodle Soup, were actually pretty solid. But the rest of the night was just so frustrating that I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The Jiaozi were the first big letdown. The menu said they were beef short rib and bone marrow, but they didn't taste like that at all. The filling was just super mushy and the flavor was just weird. The manager and the food runner were nice when we mentioned it, but our actual server was a disaster. When we tried the Goat Noodles, all we could taste was cumin. It was so overwhelming that it covered up everything else. We couldn't even tell if there was actually any goat shoulder in there. When we told our waiter, she couldn't care less. She got totally defensive, wouldn't even listen to us, and just said, "Oh, I told you when you ordered that the dish is cumin forward" and walked away. It got worse when the bill came. She was holding on to the payment machine so hard and almost yanked it right out of my friend's hand. She was staring at it to see what we were tipping. It was so awkward and incredibly rude. No thank you, no nothing. She just grabbed it and left. The place has potential, but they really need to fix the food and retrain the staff. A cool vibe doesn't make up for bad food and awful service.

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.

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.
