I've only had their lunch specials here but I'd recommend trying their shredded roasted duck with fried rice or beef brisket noodle soup. The broth is light and I'd consider it bland but my friends from Hong Kong did enjoy it a lot. Their fried rice was really flavorful and peppery. And honestly it's quite hard to beat a small entree with a drink for under $9 read more

Great friendly service. I met two colleagues for dinner and the dishes we ordered came out quickly and were hot and fresh. Loved the texture of the lo mein noodles here. Will definitely come back. We also ordered egg rolls which were tasty. read more

Coming back from a vacation of fried, heavy food, this was our decided stop. There's something about Chinese food that's comforting and good. We ordered 5 meal deals where you also get a drink that comes with it. Ovaltine, milk tea (the milk tea is Hong Kong style and strong), almond milk and lemon honey drink. We ordered the beef rice rolls, baked pork chop over rice, fish and beef balls noodle soup, stir fry noodles with shredded roasted duck and salt and pepper calamari. All the dishes were done well. The baked pork chop is a good amount of food for the price, a great value. Come here if you are looking for a taste of comfort. read more

I only come here after April 30 but before June 1. In that sense, it's a May Place. They make Hong Kong style Chinese food with some American dishes for tourists, and they have a big menu like a lot of these places do. One of the best things about it is that it's open until 1 or 2 in the morning - and often even later - depending on the night, so that is pretty awesome. It's right in the heart of the new, fancy area of Chinatown and often, packed, or sometimes super busy especially late at night. There are a few other options around here this time of night but this one is very popular and I highly recommend that you give it a try. Nothing is life changing but standards and taste levels are good. read more

My Place - Your place or my place - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We originally went to MCCB but they didn't have what we were craving so we moseyed on down the Archer Plaza area of Chinatown and came across "My Place". I had eaten there once before w/my sister and her friend several years ago. It was fairly busy when we went in around 4pm on Sunday which is a pretty good sign because many of the other restaurants were empty in the "Twilight Zone" between lunch & dinner. All the booths were taken w/only the larger round tables in the center for parties of 6 - 8 people available. The service wasn't very good. When we came in no one seated us so we grabbed our own table. Our waitress came to the table immediately after we relocated to the booth. We didn't have time to look at the menu so I asked for a few minutes. Well the few minutes ended up being about 15 minutes. We started w/Hot & Sour Soup, Salt & Pepper Smelt & Green Beans w/Pork. After placing the initial order we decided to add Mapo Tofu. It took quite a few attempts to catch the waitresses attention to add the mapo tofu. The first 3 items came out which we started on. We were still waiting on the mapo tofu but our waitress disappeared and was nowhere in sight (did she go home?). I was saying to my wife if the tofu doesn't come out let's just cancel it as we were almost finished eating. Just when we thought the tofu wasn't coming out they brought it out to our table. * Hot & Sour Soup (large $5.95) - tofu, pork, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, green onions was pretty good * Salt, Pepper Spicy Smelt ($8.95) - Smelt battered & deep fried w/jalapeño peppers & onions. Generous portions and ummm ummm good. * Green Beans W/Pork, Onions, Garlic & Hot Red Chili Peppers ($8.95). The Green Beans were very good, not over cooked * Mapo Tofu ($7.95) - tofu,pork green onions (mehhh I've had better) Overall the food is pretty good w/generous portions & very reasonable price, but the service was lacking. read more

My Place - Orange Shrimp and 362. Vegetable Fried Rice - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Hmmm. I tried this out because it was close to home but wished I'd not been so lazy and went to Chinatown or Minghin, which neither are far. I ordered the veggies rolls along with the salt and pepper seafood entree. The rolls were mostly the breading and the little veggies that were in them were soggy. The salt and pepper seafood could have been good if there was actually pepper on them. Just didn't feel it. The service was friendly hence the extra star. read more

Every time we visit Chi-town we try to check out a new restaurant in Chinatown. My Place was the pick this time around. We ordered the beef fried rice, oxtail with bean curd, and a side of American Broccoli. I will quickly sum up the food and get to the service which was questionable. The beef fried rice was the best because it was a nice mix of veggies and enough soy sauce already mixed in. First, I had to ask them for the hot tea that I saw was automatically brought out to table with people of asian descent. When the hot tea came to our table, the cups were basically dripping with water on the sides and looked unkept. Next, we asked to change our table since the A/C was blowing directly over our heads. I was happy that they agreed to let us move. Once our food came I realized that they had forgotten our broccoli order but was later told they thought we had left. How strange, we got part of the order for a table of guests they thought had left? Really. I don't like bad customer service and even more deplorable is straight disrespect when you say one thing but do another. I felt uneasy here and don't plan to return. read more

Great spot for fruit smoothies - just make sure to specify if you want the tapioca hot or cold, and their drinks and apps are pretty good too. My favorite thing there is the steak and onion and peppers stir fry over noodles. Every single bite of it was perfect the last time I had it. The pot stickers are pretty good too. The best thing about this place is Jason, one of the managers. You can tell when he's there because the place is definitely ON. read more

My Place is a great affordable option for authentic Chinese food in South Loop. They have huge serving sizes and a great variety of items on their menu. However, I am giving them 3 stars because the quality of their food ordered for delivery isn't always consistent. I ordered Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup today and there was a receipt for my order inside the container with my noodles. read more

Went to this place within a week of its opening and yikes - it verged on mediocre / bad. I know things can be tough when just opening, but I couldn't overlook these issues. - Pork and shrimp spring rolls - These were awful, namely because the center was still frozen! It was disgusting and uncanny biting into the lukewarm overly fried shell, to get a clump of wet, partially frozen mush. It also had a funky taste to it - could have been normal but we were too put off. After one bite each, we stopped eating it. - Pork pot stickers - these were ok, though not very complex! Chunks of BBQ pork with no veggies. - Duck fried rice - this was pretty tasty, with good duck flavor. - Pepper steak - I thought this would be either a grilled steak (what is called "pepper steak" in Japan), or black pepper beef. It ended up being small pieces of cornstarched beef and tons of green bell pepper. Not enough beef! They also gave us someone else's dish but then took it back to bring to the right table. I thought the rule was once it touched someone else's table, one doesn't try to re-serve it for hygiene reasons. I guess not! My friend also felt sick after the meal. We were very underwhelmed! The space is nice, but I'm not sure the food is worth it. read more

Food was good. The portions seemed smaller than what was served when they were in the Chinatown location by Archer Ave. What disappointed me was the waitress mentioned the "lobster special" for that evening was 2/$23.00. I specifically reconfirmed by asking the male waiter as well. However, I was charged $32.00 for lobster special. Street metered parking. Parking is free on Sundays. The interior is spacious. Reconfirm the prices for their specials and Look at your receipt carefully! read more

The best HK style milk tea in Chicago. It was heartbreaking when we heard that My place was closed in Chinatown. Surprisingly they opened in south loop few months later! We came today to try the food and milk tea in the new location. Still as good as before! If it's ur first time trying this place please try the pan fried rice noodle with beef which is as good as the one we had in HK. And of course the milk tea as well. The food was so good to the point we forgot to take pictures. Good that the milk tea is decent size so I can still took the pic of the milk tea lol read more

Stopped in this little Chinatown spot the other night for dinner while visiting a friend in Chicago. It's not very clear on walking in whether you need to wait to be seated, seat yourself, or even like order at a counter or something. We ended up seating ourselves because no one came up to us, and then it took a while once we sat down for someone to come over to our table. Overall, the service was kinda spotty and it took a while, not forever but enough to note. The food was alright. My friends liked theirs just fine--basics like egg drop soup & crab rangoons, and a noodle dish we quickly forgot the name of. I ordered the beef and bitter melon over rice since it was one of the cheaper (and presumably smaller) items, and I really wanted to try bitter melon since I always see it on menus but never get it. It must be an acquired taste. Definitely would not recommend, it is for sure very bitter...not sure quite how to describe it. The beef was good though. Wouldn't be my first recommendation of places we ate in Chicago, but I wouldn't be opposed to returning and trying something different. They have quite the extensive menu. read more

Food quality might not be the best but if you make it in time for High Tea Special (between 2pm & 6pm) everything is $4 or $5 per plate... umm deal? We cruised by here last night for an early dinner and tried a few dishes; the salt n pepper squid, hot & sour soup with chicken wings, beef stir fry with rice noodles, & fish fillet with veggies over white rice. Overall the portions were pretty generous even being at marked at special prices. My favorite of the four was definitely the fish fillet over rice. Just a caution they use hella garlic and I'm still rocking some gnarly garlic breathe the morning after. Sweet and sour soup was surprisingly good and the beef stir fry not too greasy which was good. The salt and pepper squid was decent but way too salty at the same time. Anyways, like I said not the highest quality in food, but cheap as hell as our bill came back less than $20. Also they definitely use quite a bit of MSG in their food in case you're wondering why you're wondering why you're feeling so dehydrated afterwards. That's all I got on this one. 'Til next time, cheers! 125/365 read more

All You Can Eat Hot Pot for only 2 hours! We decided to try this place because I haven't eaten hot pot in forever. We went with a half/half broth of both mild and spicy. I had my share of Vietnamese hot pot and its usually sweet and sour. Mild broth wasn't too bad, but the spicy broth... it wasn't exactly spicy. It was more of a stingy tingling feeing on your tongue that after a while its just unpleasant. I for one love spicy food and I was simply not enjoying that whatsoever. So, menu is confusing. There is "rounds" on the paper. I guess you can order by round but you can also order all at once. Again super confusing with no instructions! We had to ask the lady up front to explain that. They gave us the little flat top stove, water, netting stuff, and sauces. Great. It took forever to get service to the table so forcible eye contact with a student hand raise. Starving at this point. Did someone not mention that sausage here is practically hot dogs? Like vienna style hot dogs? That is so weird.. why? Lol. We got our plates of raw veggies and meats. Guess we were missing? Large spoon for the hot pot and spoon for ourselves! How on earth can you mess up not giving out spoons. Who does hot pot without a spoon! Anyways, I really did not enjoy the main hot pot experience and wouldn't be doing that again. Not entirely sure about coming back neither. There's a ton of other options in the area to eve come back bere. read more

Best crab Rangoon I've ever had. They have fresh fruit smoothies that are delicious also.

Good, authentic Chinese food as you can tell by the customers in attendance, mostly all Chinese or East Asian. They have a huge selection of dishes to try from the menu. The food came out seasoned well and piping hot, so you can't go wrong there. They also validate parking...it'll cost you $3.00 for three hours. It DOES it crowded and with that the service staff and kitchen CAN get behind but from what I heard from the group I was with, "it was worth the wait." I felt My Place had generous portions for lunch as you will see in the pictures. If you're looking for an authentic spot in Chinatown, I suggest trying them out. It's a very short walk from the Cermak--Chinatown red line. You'll see the sign My Place as you approach the shops but walk towards the courtyard and you'll find it on the corner or you can cut through Citibank. read more

Authentic hong kong restaurant with great food at an AWESOME price. What more can a gal ask for? I can feed my whole family for less than $20 here, even with gratuities. The lunch menu is the best value deal here. It's essentially the same menu as dinner but with less options and at a slightly cheaper price. If you order the set menus, you can get a free drink with it. My favorite is the honey lemon tea. Their milk tea or coffee is good too, with rich tea flavor, just how you would it in Hong Kong's teahouse. There's lot of good foods here but our favorites their noodles. The beef noodles, wanton noodles and stir fried beef noodles are some of our regular orders. read more

This review is only based on their fresh fruit smoothies ~ wow da bomb. So busy here. Did not eat here but saw affordable slushies before we left so had to try n get validation for parking too if you spend up to $15. Wow so good especially their honeydew boba. You can mix 2 fruits. I got strawberry banana to be safe but it was good. Mango was yummy with lychee. Avocado mango tastes like a Cali roll lol but good. Love how they use fresh fruit. You can watch the lady make them too. Best price in the whole Chinatown too. 3.75 plus 50cents for add in like boba. No other place charged that little for boba. Can't beat that. And it's a big drink. Others charging way too much. $1 for boba add-in? I wanna eat here 1 day. Food looks big n good too! Such a great refreshing end to our Chinatown trip! read more

My new favorite spot to come for a quick meal in Chinatown!! I feel like My Place is a place for more of the locals and people that live in the area come because I rarely see tourist and I never thought to come here until I kept seeing it. The prices are very fair and the portions are pretty decent! Some of my favorite things on the menu is the Mongolian chicken and the salt and pepper fried tofu appetizer. Some of the food can be very oily, so just a heads up! Maybe blot it on a napkin or you can simply ask them to use less oil when preparing your meal. Definitely a hidden gem and a new go to spot rice in the Chinatown plaza across from my other to go restaurant (TT Noodle) Recently tried their ramen and it was just okay. I would stick to the rice dishes and dry noodles here. My favorite is the fried tofu appetizer and Mongolian chicken and beef. read more

In terms of eating here, it was awful. First, there was a long line which we waited and by the door, we had to sign a paper to indicate how many people were going to eat with us, and 3 was the amount of people. So we got our reservation and we sat down. As we sat down, the lady wiped 40% of the table and there was food leftover on the table, if that isn't gross to you, I don't know what is. Well after that, we ordered our food not know what to order because we were still looking. But like the lady was really impatient, to the point where she was like ' what are you guys ordering rudely. After that, we got our food and I guess they were slightly busy to the point where they didn't serve our table really. They brought the food to both my friends, and their orders were both incorrect, but after that, we received the correct orders. I received my food being teriyaki beef w/o onions & a bowl of rice. My food was a bit burnt and they never came back to greet our service. They never came back and asked if our food was good or how we were doing, there was really no form of engagement and that's sad. We sat at the place for roughly an hour ish and we never asked for the check, with that being said, they gave us a check meaning ' they wanted us out '. As we were getting ready to pay, the lady stood there waiting for the payment. You simply do not stand by your customers table and wait for their payment, that's rude and disrespectful. We never heard a thank you or anything polite from their service. I wouldn't like to go back there until there's some change. They didn't even give us water to begin with, poor customer service and food needs a lot of help. I've been there previously and their service isn't bad, but now it's horrible! Not happy with it. read more

My Place - Teriyaki beef w/o onions & a bowl of rice. - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My Place is my kind of place. I've visited on numerous occasions, from breakfast to late night. My loyalty is evidently displayed by my number of check-ins and picture posts. What are my favorites? 1) The lunch specials from 11am to 2pm consist of unbeatable offers with generous and tasty entrée portions and a drink. Price ranges from $3.25 to $5 per order and you have over 30 selections from noodles to rice. Since it begins at 11am, I would also make use of that as a late breakfast. I've tried the spam and egg ramen noodles, mixed beefs parts with egg noodle, wonton noodles, Portuguese chicken with rice, satay beef with egg noodles, beef with string beans and rice, etc. 2) For dinner, my usual order consists of the shredded beef with mushrooms. The English name sounds too general for it to stand out but I am absolutely addicted! It's a simple stir-fried dish with wild mushrooms or tea-leaf mushrooms for the direct translation and it does wonders. In addition, I've also tried eggplant and salty fish, clams in black bean sauce, peapod tips with mushroom, sweet and sour pork, sizzling beef tenderloin, etc. 3) For late night, I've always succumbed to the fattest and unhealthiest dish: fried pork cutlet with egg noodles in broth and milk tea. There are carbs, grease, caffeine, and sugar in the mix. Sounds like the perfect combination for a hungry belly...even at a late hour. With that said, I've tried a good portion of the menu and I still have yet to find something unpleasing. My Place isn't as popular as its rivals down the street, but I would choose MP anytime over the rest. Service is quick and efficient without ever making a mistake. Food prices are lower than competitors but the portions remain generous and quality is in no way downplayed. read more

Delicious! We ordered the combo boxes which comes with an entree, fried rice, and an egg roll for 10 bucks! The orange chicken with BBQ pork fried rice is my fave. The portion sizes are huge especially for the price. I got 2 full meals out of one box. Ordering online was quick and easy and my order was ready promptly. These are covid times so no dining in, but the dining room was clean and nicely decorated. I will be back again and again! I highly recommend. read more

Average food at average prices. Not a bad place to stop by if other restaurants in Chinatown Square get too full but if you go through the trouble of trying to find parking in this area, there are better choices available. If this wasn't located in Chinatown Square, I might bump it up .5 or maybe even 1-star but the quality of food in this area has gotten better and to remain competitive it's necessary to offer both delicious and wonderfully presented food. Drinks (teas, smoothies, etc.) - Similar to non-specialty places (like Joy Yee's) in Chinatown. Ong choy - Vegetables are fresh but the dish could have been more flavorful Chef special combination ramen - Pretty good ramen with nice noodles. Lemongrass chicken wings - nice large wings and crispy but the flavor didn't stand out Baked pork chop over Portuguese sauce - I wasn't a fan of the flavor but it wasn't done poorly either. I prefer the Chi Cafe version more. Fish fillet with chinese vegetables - Didn't like this dish -- wasn't a fan of the flavor choices. Walnut shrimp - Good size shrimp with a nice texture. Chef Special Pork Neck Meat - One of the better pork neck dishes I've had in the midwest. Good texture and flavor with a good amount of meat. This is the only dish that stood out in my mind. This restaurant has a very good location since it sits in one of the entrance/exit spots in the square but the lack of consistency in quality among dishes prevents it from being rated any higher. It would probably be better to offer fewer choices but consistently provide quality at 4, 4, 4 instead of 4, 3, 5 for the dishes. read more

What I love the most about this place is when you catch a certain person who prepares the coconut milk bubble tea in the evening it is hands down the best you will ever have in your life. If he is not working go for a fruit smoothie instead or some coke with lemon. The spicy beef ramen is a great lunch dish or can work well with other dishes in a larger meal. Despite not being a Hunan or Sichuan place their spicy dishes are very well made and flavorful. They have a lot of seafood dishes both in the English menu and in the Chinese menu so this is a great place to try a variety of Cantonese styled seafood dishes. One note their spring rolls have mango in them it is a nice citrus twist, but if you are allergic to mangos I have seen first hand it is enough to trigger an allergy response. So stay away if you're sensitive. The staff is friendly, the TV's are generally always showing news from Hong Kong so if you're interested in practicing learning traditional characters that is good reading, and most importantly the food is delivered quickly, correctly, and deliciously. Enjoy! read more

Wonderful takeout service - hot and ready to go right at pickup time. The chef was working hard! Always appreciate a hot meal. The beef enoki e-fu noodles were great - could have done for some spice, but better bland than burning. The noodles were a great balance of soft and chewy with a nice pull to them. I had enough for 3 full servings in my takeout box - ate a full two servings for dinner (quarantine makes a girl hungry) and saving the last bit for lunch tomorrow. Thanks my place! Will be back! Super cute interior also, very spacious and well designed. read more

My Place - 344. Enoki and Beef with E-Fu Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Passed by this restaurant quite a number of times and saw that it was full... now I know why. The lunch special in this restaurant is available all day and you can get an entree and a cup of drink for under $5, such as a shrimp wanton noodle, beef brisket noodle, roast duck rice noodle or yang chow fried rice. $5 for a bowl of noodle and drink! I couldn't believe it!! I assumed that it was a smaller portion of the regular dishes and had the expectation of "you get for what you pay for." However, when the dishes came, I was surprised that it was a hearty bowl! More importantly, they taste awesome! The dish of the night was beef brisket noodle soup where the soup was wonderful. It had a flavorful broth that was beefy and aromatic spices within it. I am definitely longing to return to have this again! For the drinks, we had the Coffee-Tea Melange (aka Yuan Yang = coffee & tea mixed together) and honey lemon tea. Both were really really good. I would gladly pay for them, but to have them thrown in, it's absolutely WOW. Now, the aesthetic of this restaurant isn't anything to write about, or one that would lure you in, but don't miss this traditional Hong Kong cuisine restaurant that is extremely affordable, authentic, and spectacularly yummy! 4 stars overall and one additional star for the delicious and affordable price tag! read more
