With an easy to remember name, Chicago Dumpling in a suburb of Chicago, serves up a variety of…read moreJapanese and Chinese inspired foods, in a fast food type set-up in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Before dropping us off at the airport, my wife's aunt treated us (my wife, her mom, and me) to lunch. I got to choose the place, and the experience ended up being really great. Even though it looks like you are supposed to stand in line to order and pay, the restaurant also supports a typical dine-in experience. It's an open kitchen, with seating on the side. Once we were seated, we were given menus and a tablet to place our order, but our server stayed around to explain that she would be back to help us place the order. She was the only front of house working, and she was friendly and efficient, constantly going back and forth to service to-go order taking and dine-in. The one page menu has two parts: a Chinese part and a Japanese part, and had items that we call could eat. Once we placed our order, the items came out in the following order, after being made to order. Karaage ($6.95) - five pieces of all white meat chicken, freshly deep fried. Everyone liked it, though I wish the coating was crispier. Tonkotsu Ramen ($15.95) - My wife's aunt and I got this. We both agreed the broth should have been served a lot hotter, but it was flavorful. I was especially impressed with the Chashu pork, two thin but generous pieces, nicely crisped first before serving. Edamame ($6.50) - my wife's go-to when at a Japanese restaurant. Chicken Shoyu Ramen ($15.95) - Got one for my wife's mom, and then ordered another for carry-out. One has the choice of thick noodles (classic ramen), or thin, or rice noodles. Pork and Crab Meat Xiao Long Bao ($13.99 for 12 pieces) - one can ask for it prepared steamed or pan-fried. It's great value since it is machine made and guessing prepared from frozen. It's more meat than broth in the filling, and the taste and mouthfeel was OK. But I was impressed that it was offered here at all. Would get it pan fried next time. Scallion Pancakes ($6.50) - served last, this was outstanding. Very thin and crispy. Just wish it had been served first so we could all enjoy...most of us were full by the time it came out. We paid at the end through our server. My wife's aunt really liked the 'Chicago Dumpling' t-shirt that our server was wearing, and wanted one for herself. Our server did mention that they do sell it for $30, but were out of them at the moment. We were given take-home containers to self-pack, and was warmly thanked by everyone before we left. Good value food in a comfortable setting with excellent service: that's what I will remember about Chicago Dumpling.

Ordered carry out. They called to say they were out of pork for the shrimp/pork/leek dumplings and…read morethey would make "seafood" ones. Fine. Well, what they actually meant was they would make the pork and shrimp without the pork so I got dumplings that were literally 1/3 filled, no leeks just some onion shavings. Most of them had a single tiny shrimp in them, that's all. I'm appalled they would serve us that, probably because it was close to closing and they wouldn't be open to deal with me once I got home and realized what they did. I love dumplings and live close by, I would've been a regular customer, but those cheap mfs lost out on that. If you didn't want to completely fill the dumplings with "seafood" then just refund that part of my order. Simple enough? Beware if you order from here.

I am very excited to write about this spot since I had ordered from them on Uber Eats for so long…read more This was my first time stopping in to the restaurant in downtown Hinsdale while I was doing some shopping down the block. It was not very busy when I went in since it was a late afternoon lunch (about 2:30pm). I started with the shumai which came out steaming, and they were delicious. I highly recommend the mango salad that they offer. The mango salad is my go to for a refreshing bite with the mango and the bell peppers that are incorporated into the salad. The staff is friendly, the restaurant when I went was on the quieter side but that is no issue as I tend to dine solo with airpods in. I would dine in again for an evening out, or a to-go order.

I ordered the Sweet & Sour chicken dinner special with Noodles and egg roll sauce on the side along with six crab Rangoons. The Sweet and Sour chicken dinner lacked flavor and taste I was not able to eat due to taste of the chicken and the noodles even with the help of the sauce - very disappointing! Crab Rangoons were solid and that is the only reason why I am giving this place a 2 star rating.

As I was deciding what to try, I could not help but think why is Z J China empty on a Friday during lunch rush. I decided to exit tacochela and give them a chance. When I walked in I got greeted by a lady and I asked her what she would recommend. She said orange chicken and I ordered it. As I was waiting for my food. I analyzed their menu, website and yelp. I realized patterns which has led to their failure. Ogden avenue is a very busy street and to have an empty restaurant at rush time means something is wrong. Once my food arrived the rice tasted old. The orange chicken was very underwhelming. I decided to hand my tray to the lady and ask if I could have a word with them. All I wanted to do was give them few advice which would allow them to be more profitable free of charge. I saw her and a gentleman sitting in the kitchen and enjoying lunch together. I have never seen a restaurant operate like this. The only two employee that work are taking lunch breaks at the same time. I suppose I should greet the guests and cook for them. When I asked her if I could share some advice. She asked me to leave. I politely left. Enjoy poverty.

The raised voice got me a little anxious and felt a little fear in my heart since i am an old man. But my order came fast and i was out fast. So be wary of asking questions not related to an order or you will get a raised voice answer which is the natural of a china man.
