Hidden gem for authentic Cantonese breakfast in Bridgeport! It's a tiny spot that's super popular with the Chinese community, but barely any outsiders know about it. Definitely not fine dining, but perfect if you want real, traditional comfort food. I come here all the time for their rice noodle rolls (chang fen) and little wontons. The flavors are always spot-on and the prices are incredibly low. They also have great stir-fried rice noodles and chow mein. Highly recommend if you want a cheap, genuine breakfast! read more

Wing Yip Chop Suey Restaurant - 04 Pork and corn crepe add egg - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is a small corner restaurant in a residential area and offers dim sum and some other dishes (see menu).   It's locally popular and you will need to find street parking which is not a biggie around this location.  We tried it for dim sum carryout on this inaugural visit.  Apparently there was new ownership 6 years ago and almost all the reviews except for the last 5 reviews (not counting this one) are older than that so they probably could use a whole new Yelp website.  It probably won't happen, so this is likely your only heads-up and I have updated what Yelp site info I could.   As far as our carryout, we came around noon on a Monday, and had a 20 minute wait for our order. It's probably best to call ahead if you're doing carryout.  There were some other carryout orders and the 10 table restaurant was busy. With the wait comes dim sum that is piping hot fresh though.  We ordered siu mai, har gow, beef crepes, and pork offal crepes.  Overall, it's very good, and prices are competitive with other Chinatown carryout options.  The har gow was on the smallish size though.  It was good to try, but from this visit, we'll probably opt to stick with our fav Chiu Quon for carryout as there is typically not much of a wait there and you get a tad bit bigger dim sum for the same price. read more

Wing Yip is a neighborhood Chinese restaurant that caters to early risers for a tasty Chinese breakfast. I really enjoyed the chicken and mushroom rice combo as well as the braised pork knuckle rice combo. Their Jasmine tea is very fragrant and a delight to drink. Their steamed rice in a clay pot is also much more tasty than rice served in other Chinese restaurants. read more

Don't let the size of the store fool you as this place is always packed with people inside and out. If you are lucky to get a table, you are lucky. I been here a few times and I never got to sit right away. There menu is straight forward as all the dishes have pictures for dim sum. The food is fresh and always tasty. Prices are average for dim sum compared to other places in Chinatown. The soups are have very fragrant aroma and taste very good with the noodles. I highly recommend and free parking. Cash or card is the same. read more

Our experience was extremely disappointing. About half of the food we ordered arrived cold or was just average at best, while the rest never arrived at all--even after waiting more than an hour. Customer service was practically nonexistent. When we asked why our food was cold and why several dishes never came out, we were told that their stove was broken. To make matters worse, there was a roach crawling on the wall during our meal, which made the experience even more unpleasant. We weren't sure whether to report it, kill it ourselves, or just leave it. As if that wasn't enough, the restaurant smelled like gas by the doorway where we sat. Between the poor service, missing and cold food, and the cleanliness and safety concerns, this was a very frustrating dining experience that we would not repeat. read more

Half of what we order was good, the rest never came? Communication was difficult at best, customer service was nonexistent...Wing Yip was a sure thing under original ownership not the case anymore! Won't be going back... read more

Was in the neighborhood and decided to try this place out for some lunch takeout. This place is like your usual typical americanized chinese restaurant but with some added Chinese regional dishes/spice/style. For the starter, we got the chicken wings. It was nice and crispy. They packed it with the top open in a brown paper bag so the wings stay crispy during the trip home. Thumbs up on that. Also the wings were not dry! It was cooked thru and juicy. Very impressed by the care and extra steps they took to keep it good. From the lunch specials, we got the Orange chicken and it came with chicken fried rice. Both were pretty tasty and the orange sauce was pretty good. The chicken fried rice was pretty good as well. It also came with a fried egg roll. Didnt even eat it cause the portion was pretty big and we could not finish it all. Yay for left overs. The other dish we got was the Singapore Thin Noodles. This dish was really enjoyable. It was not dry nor overly wet. The noodles were nice and long and I could twirl it well on my fork. The taste was good. I'd definitely come back again for this. Overall this is a pretty good take out place. Price to portion, this place is very good to come back to eat at. Definitely worth it. Can't wait to try what their other dishes are like. read more

Wing Yip has been under new ownership for a couple years now. The food is just as good, if not better and service has improved. I'm risk adverse when it comes to Chinese food and typically stick with the Americanized stuff like Orange, Sesame or General Tso's Chicken. One of my foodie resolutions is to veer off the basic Americanized path in 2018. In the meantime, I'll keep Wing Yip in mind whenever I'm in the area. Not work a special trip, but a good option all the same. read more

This place isn't authentic Chinese food, but I like their beef fried rice it's clean, good and it fills me up. The place is old and the dining room is old, the place looks like it run down. But the customers seem loyal, the food is Junky Fast Chinese food. The owners do their job they seem very mellow about what they do, and that's fine. So I will add one more start to the fact that I know I'm getting some very Americanized fried rice and i keep going back for it so there is something they are doing right. read more

This review is looong overdue! I had had a few really good delivery meals from here when I was craving Chinese. When my friend and I had our dogs' birthday parties (I know, I know) that had a Chinese New Year theme (year of the dog!), I ordered a ton of egg rolls, crab Rangoon and potstickers from here. Everything is homemade, they delivered on time and let me tell you, everyone raved about the food! I was more than happy to share where I ordered from and I hope they received business from it! Thanks for a great addition to our party - and my delivery tonight that sparked my memory to write this - was fantastic. And great value, too! read more

Definitely a solid 4.5, especially cuz food is still fresh and hot w delivery!!! Food: shrimp w lobster sauce 5, bbq pork egg foo young 4, pot stickers 4, beef chow mein cantonese style 4, kung Pao chicken 5, chicken fried rice 2, chicken wings 5, ma po tofu 4, egg rolls housemade and not the frozen ones taste 3, but effort 5 Service: 5 read more

Best Chinese delivery I've found in Chicago thus far! Delivery was fast (showed up early) and very affordable for the portion sizes. Note: We ordered enough food to feed a large village, but here's a quick rundown of the highlights (this could have easily served 10 people): - Potstickers: HUGE, very doughy and come in a serving of 6 (which is plenty considering how large they are) - Crab Rangoons: Also LARGE, deep fried and free when you order more than $30 worth of food - Fried Wontons: Literally just fried pieces of wonton (no stuffing) - Egg Rolls: HUGE & filled with various meats - Wonton Soup: Hefty portion of wontons, good soup - Hot & Sour Soup: Inedible.. my mother is the expert of hot & sour and had to throw it out. - Orange Chicken: Standard flavors with a little more kick - General Tso's Chicken: Very similar in taste to orange chicken, but with more vegetables - Beef Lo Mein: Standard, but delicious - Sweet & Sour Chicken: Our batch was a little over fried, so it was very crisp, but sweet & sour sauce was good - Kung Pao Shrimp: Has a kick, lots of peanuts & good sized shrimp Never dined in the restaurant, but this is going to be my go-to Chinese delivery in Chicago! read more

I've ordered from this place numerous times & each time it didn't disappoint. Crab Rangoon, General Tso's chicken, shrimp egg foo young... all with plain fried rice has been wonderful. Portion sizes are generous even for a "small." Feeds 2 or one really HANGRY person. Prices are more than fair & delivery has always been fast with the food arriving piping hot & fresh. Definitely my go-to for Chinese delivery! read more

Same name, new owners, new Wing Yip! This place used to be pretty mediocre and I would just order from China Wok in McKinley - now the tables have turned and China Wok has been stale the last 3x we've tried them. What we odered: Kung Pao Chicken - A Shrimp Fried Rice - B (few shrimp and they were small, but rice was fresh) Orange Chicken - A (not too sweet and large pieces) Sweet and Sour Chicken - A So I'm giving this place 5 stars based on similar restaurants not against something far better and more expensive than them. Feeding a family of 5 (with considerable leftovers) for less than $40 is always a win. read more

I can only assume that the other reviewers who are giving this place four or five stars have a COMPLETELY different idea of "what makes a good Chinese food place" than I do, because this place is deep in the dumps compared to even the other hole-in-the-wall Chinese food joints I've been to. First off, the lady at the counter isn't friendly. Which I can't hold against her. If I were serving slop to idiots all day, I wouldn't be in the most pleasant of moods either. Secondly, the menu is in disarray. You can find pieces of it on the wall, pieces of it taped to the counter, and even after picking up a take-out menu, I still felt like something was missing. Maybe it's the fact that there's no soup listed on the menu, and I am a fan of Wonton Soup. Obviously I wouldn't be trying it out at this place. Thirdly, the decor and cleanliness of the place was dismal. The floor was a little sticky in places. There were buckets located around the premises, hanging from the wall. I at first thought they were for leaks or something, but it turns out they were "put used forks here" buckets. I thought for one second that serving metal forks with food is a nice touch, until I realized I wasn't sure I trusted the cleanliness of the kitchen/food in general, which means I should trust them to properly wash forks and leave them sitting out on tables all day, either. The walls are boring, and just being in that building made every fiber of my being shout "GET ME OUTTA HERE" Fourthly, this place DOES NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS. The little "Yes/No" by the restaurant's details above does not properly pass this idea off in my mind, because I missed it. However an all-caps warning in a review would have stuck in my mind. Normally a location that does not accept credit cards has an ATM inside, or right next door. Or tells you about it beforehand and DEFINITELY has a SIGN reading "CASH ONLY" or "NO CREDIT CARDS". The result was that after standing around for 20 minutes for my food, I then had to walk two blocks to a gas station where I was charged an extra $3 by their ATM machine just to get cash to pay for crappy food. (I think she's in cahoots with the gas station guy and gets half of that $3 extra charge) That's right, issue #5 is with the food. When I go to a Chinese place, my traditional test is a large Governor's (General Tso's) Chicken for me, a large Beef and Broccoli for my girl, "with garlic" to test their additional request skills, an order of Crab Rangoon, and an order of Wonton Soup. There is no soup here, judging by the menu bits. 90% of locations I go to treat "with garlic" as "put some garlic in there" - this place treated it as "change the whole thing to the bucket of garlic sauce" - which is not tasty. The crab rangoon (or "carbrangoon" according to the menu) was 95% fake crab (it tasted fake to me) and almost no cheese to bind it together, creating a fried pocket of tiny crab bits spilling out. And my Governor's Chicken? Twenty giant chewy pieces of chicken in a sauce that at best can be described as "borderline-acceptable" and at worst can be described as "brown water". A fair amount of it was located in the plastic bag, as this place hasn't evolved yet to the point of plastic sealing containers instead of sloppily-stapled styrofoam containers. Sorry, but I will not be back here. And if you decide to go here, even after reading my scathing review, hopefully you will have remembered my stern warning that they do not accept credit cards, lest you find yourself on an expensive hike to the gas station two blocks away just so you can free your pathetic excuse for food from its mean captor. read more

AMAZING food, everything esp. the fried rice. its a hole in the wall w/ people who arent the friendliest BUT it doesnt matter the food TOTALY makes up for it. they could tell me to "F*** off" and i would still come back...lol read more

I eat here on occasion because it's cheap and relatively fast. That's it. I can get meal for $6 in about 5-10 minutes, so it's good for lunch time. That said, the place is a dump. Really dingy and fairly nasty cleanliness wise. Also, you get a real fork with your meal, but you need to drop it in the "fork bucket" by the garbage can. Everything else you can throw away. I've gone there off and on for about five years and the woman behind that counter has never said one nice thing to me, she always looks pissed off like Aaron stated. I've said hello, please and thank you, and tried to make conversation and she's never responded. Never a your welcome, or a hello back. It was to the point I stopped trying to say anything and instead just ordered my food and moved on. In fact I rarely go there now because of it. The food itself is typical fast-food hole-in-the-wall fare. Nothing spectacular, but decent quality. It also on the street, so parking can sometimes suck. I've had to circle the block five or six times before until I found some place to park which is never fun. So if you are close to the place and want cheap and fast, you can give it try. But if you care about customer service, or I don't know, cleanliness of a restaurant, I would go elsewhere. read more

Ordered takeout and the food was incredibly disappointing. The egg foo young was sweet -- a sign of too much MSG? The spicy egg rolls were greasy. The sweet and sour chicken had too much vinegar. Vegetables in vegetable kow dish were way overcooked. Did not care for the flavors. read more

Best hole in the wall authentic Chinese take out in the city. Try red hot mandarin, Mongolian beef, salt and pepper fish, spicy egg rolls. Not going to impress a date here but bring the food home and save some $$$. read more

Food was on point. We ordered general tso's, couple egg rolls and an order of crab Rangoons. The rangoons were amazing and huge. Tso's spice level was legit and the vegetable egg roll was great! The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because it took over an hour to get here and I'm only .6 miles Away. Anyhow, highly recommend! read more

For as long as I can recall, this place was not just an restaurant but it was an important part of the Bridgeport area, it was a part of my childhood. After 40 years of being in the same street corner, Wing Yip has closed its doors. I do not know who the owners are but on behalf of the Reynoso Family from 26th & Union, We want to say thank you. You will definitely be missed... As your Shrimp Friend Rice :(. Best of luck! Danny read more

This is the best Chinese restaurant I've found while living in Bridgeport for 4 years. The food is excellent and the prices are much cheaper than other places in the area. The restaurant is pretty dark inside and there's not much decor going on.. but the food is what's most important anyway. The lady that works there always seems to have an attitude, but I think that's just her personality. She does the job and always gets my order correct. Most of the time, I order my food to go and they're pretty quick with having it prepared by the time I get there. I'm actually craving their food right now... mmmm! read more

Truly a hidden gem, just off the Chinatown "main drag". Good food and even better value. I was getting ready to drop ~$90 on a large Saturday night meal at one of our usual Chinatown haunts. Then, I decided to range "farther afield". We effectively ordered the same amount of food at this place (if not more) and paid not even $50. Yup, almost half the price. Everything we ordered was delicious. Portion sizes were tremendous; our dinner for four could have easily fed twice as many. This will be our new "go to" place for casual Chinese in downtown Chicago. Thank you for a wonderful experience all around. read more

A rear gem in the outskirts of Chinatown, this is one of the only place that does Chop Suey right near the Chinatown area. Wing Yip egg foo young, egg rolls is amazing good here. For some reason most of the dishes are a tad sweet for my taste, but I still enjoy it. Super inexpensive and large portions. One of the only places where $10 can feed a family of 4. read more

Ahhh man my Shrimp Lo Mien was delicious! Like really delicious!! Price point was impressive for the large portion they served. Now, the menu does not show shrimp lo mien so I'm not sure what they named it. i.e what's Kow and Toy??? The noodles were thinner than I'm used to but it was better than I'm used to. I've only seen a pic of the outside of the restaurant but I was informed that it was a hole in the wall. And if I saw it I probably won't eat there again. Therefore, someone will be picking my food up for me. That solves that problem!! hahaha Anyway, I'm giving them another try because it was good and I heard the Orange Chicken is off the chain. So stay tune... read more

I love using Yelp because the user reviews and usually spot on and this time was no exception. I ordered the combination fried rice and my son had the Singapore noodles and both were delicious. This is the best Chinese food that I've had in the area. read more

Fresh, fast and delicious. My first time ordering from them earlier this week, and I was impressed.

The delivery was fast and friendly too. read more

Delish. Especially the Lo Mein noodles... so good. Drooling just thinking about it. The best go-to spot for Chinese. Classic. I haven't had anything I don't like there. Always fast, hot and tasty. Mmmm read more

Excellent food arrived faster than promised. Each dish was flavorful without being overly salty or spicy. Shrimps in the shrimp & green beans and the combo lo mein were tender - not rubbery or over-cooked. The beef was tender. The veggies in each dish had a crisp fresh feel and distinct flavor. I will want these pot stickers in every single order I place from now on. Wing Yip is my new go-to Chinese food place! read more

This used to be my go to place for good cheap Chinese food. They and reopened and now its just not the same. The food tastes commercial and it lacks flavor. I'm not going back...I'll be at 3 happiness on Cermak. read more

I used to go here once a week but had to cut back on eating out. One week I went for lunch back to back and dinner the third day. Reasonable prices and everything is always piping hot. Not the most appealing place from the outside but I'm telling you it's well worth it. Oh there's a lot of police officers that eat here which lets you know they're good. Police officers always know the good restaurants lol... read more
