QXY lived up to the hype! To be honest I was skeptical because it had a reputation of being pricy there are other places to get cheaper soup dumplings. The interior is super clean and spacious, and the service is really attentive without making you feel too formal and stuffy. They have a list of really unique Asian inspired cocktails which was fun. I was confused at first since the menu didn't specifically say soup dumplings anywhere. I asked the server and they clarified that all of the meat ones were soup dumplings except for the boiled ones. We got the lamb and coriander pan fried dumplings and the pork leek shrimp steamed dumplings. Both were phenomenal. It was amazing how they can pan fry the dumplings but still have so much soup inside of them. I really appreciated that the soup was a perfect temperature (not scalding hot) right from the beginning. The table has some vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil which pairs really nicely with the dumplings. The cucumber salad was simple yet really flavorful and was a nice appetizer. QXY stands out in the ambiance, service, and food quality; I would bring friends or visiting guests here for sure. The quality of the soup dumplings really are on another level when compared to other popular restaurants like Din Tai Fung or Hing Kee. There wasn't any wait for two on a weeknight dinner but it was populated. I would plan for a wait if you come on a weekend dinner since there's no reservations. read more

We love QXY and we were thrilled to hear they opened a new location in Wicker Park, our old stomping grounds! You don't need much for a group of three but maybe we ate more than I realize? Either way, delicious every time and no regrets!! Plus it was a birthday dinner :) Dumpling go-to's: Pork, Shrimp, and Leek (steamed), Wagyu Beef (steamed), and Lamb and Coriander (fried but still good steamed). You really can't go wrong with any. I'd probably explore more if my husband was more adventurous, either way, I'm happy every time. We also shared the cucumber salad. Next time we'll get two orders. The mushroom ear salad was also good with a unique texture. I really liked the vinegar based sauce. Another hit was the kimchi. Overall I might skip the mushroom salad next time but get everything else. All that with an order of hot tea. Chefs kiss, HBD to me!!! read more

I was so excited to hear that QXY opened a new location outside of Chinatown and immediately knew I had to check it out. We made a reservation for two on a Friday night and were seriously impressed by the new space. The interior is so cute with all the natural wood accents, and the restaurant feels much bigger with plenty of seating. Same menu, same amazing dumplings, and overall such a great experience. We ordered the lamb & dill (steamed), shrimp pork leek (fried), and pork cabbage (steamed), along with jasmine tea. The service was very attentive and the food came out incredibly fast. They did a fantastic job with this new location. It feels so much more spacious, and I'm very happy to have more dumplings closer to home. read more

Unfortunately didn't get as many food pictures as I wanted, but coming from Taiwan and having delicious Din Tai Feng dumplings this place was incredible. Loved the food the service, and the space. They definitely catered to us having 2 kids under two and didn't make us feel rushed, and gave us the perfect table for a great dining and family experience. Highly recommend ! read more

So glad to have this option if you can't make it to Chinatown! The ambiance is perfectly nice but nothing special. I don't eat red meat, so my opinions are skewed, but the Chicken Mushroom soup dumplings were my favorite! It's nice that they also have seafood and vegetarian options. They were a bit slow to take our order but our waitress was very friendly, pouring a bottle of wine into 6 smaller glasses instead of 4 regular. I definitely recommend adding yourself to the Yelp waitlist before arriving so you can be seated quickly. read more

Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings - Chicken mushroom soup dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here on a Thursday night around 5:30pm. Online it said there was only a 6:30 reservation available so we went anyway in the event the website was wrong, and it for sure was. There were 3 other people there, and it's a sizable restaurant. I came here with my child, and partner. They have a smaller menu, obviously mostly dumplings, but they also have skewers and some shredded potato salad. On that day they had gotten their liquor license so they had beer from Off Color brewing. The staff were attentive, kind, and fast. We got the special roe and pork dumplings (12 steamed), pork and cabbage dumplings (12 steamed), and lamb coriander dumplings (12 fried). You can choose between fried and steamed. We did not get an appetizer because we went wild with dumplings. They were very good, very doughy, an a different style of dumplings, although all the dumplings they had were the same style. Slight soupy inside, and yes throughout the dumpling dough almost sticky. Definitely worth trying and we will be back! read more

So good! Walked in and got seated right away without a wait. Service was really attentive and quick. The dumplings are so tasty and super fresh. I believe each order comes with 12 dumplings. A little bit pricey but very tasty! read more

We were actually at the new Wicker Park location within walking distance on Division. We tried to visit the Chinatown place when Laura was here. Now we know why we couldn't get in without reservations. Wow, Donna picked another winner. I got the steamed dumplings with pork and scallops and they were very good, especially when dipped in the chili sauce. Nicely balanced between the scallops and pork. She got the fried wagyu beef and coriander dumplings and they were even better. Tender and bursting with flavor. Dipped in the soy sauce and vinegar just upped the satisfaction. Service was attentive and cheerful, especially considering all the questions we had. read more

We visited QXY in Wicker Park on Saturday night. It wasn't too crowded and we were able to get a table for three immediately. The restaurant is clean, well kept, and nicely decorated. Service was fast. Our table ordered the halal lamb and dill (7/10), egg, shrimp, and leek (6/10), and tofu, cabbage, and mushroom (4/10) dumplings. As a vegetarian, I felt the dumplings were bland and not worth the price (similar pricing or even more expensive than meat options). read more

Had been wanting to try this for a while, no wait and was seated promptly and given water. Server was kind and fast. As I'm a vegetarian, I ordered the tomato egg dumplings and the tofu/cabbage/mushroom. They were pretty good, the tofu cabbage was a little bland for me and the tomato egg good but I'd rather just have tomato egg itself with noodles. The issue is the price. I understand the labor involved but why are my meatless dumplings more expensive than the meat? Just these two orders of dumplings, with tax and a 20% tip, came out to 60 dollars. Very overpriced, will not return for how much this is. read more

Delicious dumplings, just like the ones in China town, including a large selection of vegan and pescatarian options. Will definitely be returning! read more

Came here for lunch while visiting Chicago. Someone mentioned that this place has good dumplings. We shared fried pork dumplings, shrimp, pork and leek dumplings and a cucumber salad. These small dumplings with very little stuffings had good flavors. However, they weren't the best I've ever had. The cucumber salad was crunch and fresh. They tasted really good with hot sauces. read more

Stopped by this dumpling spot during a visit to the neighborhood and left pretty satisfied overall. The menu had a solid variety, and the dumplings came out fresh with nicely balanced flavors. The steamed options were soft and comforting, while the fried dumplings had a crisp texture that worked well with the sauces on the side. The cucumber salad added a refreshing contrast and paired nicely with the spice from the chili sauce. Service was friendly and quick even during a busy lunch rush. While nothing completely stood out as unforgettable, everything tasted well prepared and enjoyable. It's a good place for a casual meal if you're craving dumplings and want to try a few different flavors. read more

I've said it once, and I'll say it again: these are the BEST dumplings in Chicago! The new location is absolutely stunning and very spacious. I love the dark wood accents and lighting. This location in Wicker is PERFECT. The dumplings continue to be packed with flavor. A few of our faves: pork with pickled cabbage, zucchini and mushroom, beef and onion (fried). They offer a great selection to hot teas and drinks. Everyone on the QXY does a fantastic job. They make us feel like family every time we come in (which is a lot)! Go check their new spot out! read more

Fire all around. Amazing food, great atmosphere, great service. Got the pork/cabbage and wagyu beef/onion steamed dumplings. Will be back!

Went during the soft launch week, the interiors are beautiful and the flavors have been maintained if not better! With the option of reservations now, it'll be so much more easier to plan and visit. read more
