Wok Cuisine is a neighborhood Chinese restaurant located in a strip mall in Albany Park. They do mostly take out business even though they do have a few tables in the restaurant. They advertise as being the best Chinese food in Albany Park. It may be the best in Albany Park, but definitely not in the city. I ordered the Sesame Chicken dinner combination platter. You definitely get a large portion for the money of sesame chicken, chicken fried rice, and veggie roll. Unfortunately, I found the chicken to be dry and lacking in that distinct sweet sesame flavor. The chicken fried rice had a nice portion of shredded chicken, but it lacked seasoning. I also ordered their fish with garlic sauce. It was a bit spicy, but I didn't think the dish had the appropriate spiciness that would go well with the fried fish. If I lived in the neighborhood, I guess I would be drawn to frequent visits to Wok Cuisine. The value is great as they do give a large portion of food for what you order. Being the best Chinese food, though, is debatable.

Bean Curd With Kung Pao Sauce

Even with mixed feelings about this Chinese restaurant, I could certainly eat here again if knowing I won't get sick after eating. It certainly has pretty good flavors. Wok Cuisine is maybe the best Chinese restaurant in Albany Park. Looks crappy inside, but most get carryout so they of course won't care. They have some pretty hot spices. Came the last time and decided to eat in. It wasn't busy at all inside. That's a good thing for eating inside because there's few tables. Has the basics. There's meats like beef and chicken, and vegetarian choices like tofu. It's about $11 for an entree. These are pretty big portions. One was enough for a couple people to be honest. Pretty cheaply run business it seems. Everything gets put in takeout containers. That includes for those eating inside. We got the Bean Curd With Kung Pao Sauce. It was spicy but not too much. The tofu was firm and had a hot peppery flavor throughout. Great flavors that are spicy, but it's kind of a crappy looking place to be honest. It's better to get takeout. There's meaty items, as well as some tofu ones that okay for vegans and vegetarians.

I thought this was a good local spot. My friend and I were meeting up for dinner and the place we'd planned to meet at was closed on Monday nights. I was really craving sesame chicken and this was one of the few places we found that had that on the menu in our last minute search. It wasn't a fancy spot for dine in but it wasn't bad either. About 3-4 tables and they did come to our table to take our orders. The atmosphere was decent as well for being mostly a delivery or pick-up spot. Food was served in takeout containers but that worked well for us to take home the leftovers. We thought the portions were really a large helping and great for the price. We were able to enjoy our food and catch up.

No words will ever be enough... this is THE best Chinese takeout. The egg rolls and crab rangoons... I am not exaggerating when I say I DREAM about them. Amazing prices, especially if you go for a lunch special. They somehow manage to remember your name even if you've only been 1 or 2 times. I thought it was nice they remembered us, but then I saw they remember others too. The actual restaurant itself is not really much. It truly is more of a takeout spot, but I have eaten there in person too and their service was attentive! I just love this place so much.

This is a 'large' Kung pao chicken. A 'small' veggie lo mein. 2 veggie egg roll, and cheese wontons.  All this was $40.

Don't order here. Save your money for a sit down place or a buffet. You order Chinese not expecting to pay for a steakhouse. I paid $40 for 1 entree and 3 apps.

That my friends is a rubber band in my Chicken Lo Mien.

Quick and dependable. No complaints. The hot and sour soup is legit and worth ordering just for that.

Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen - Shrimp Broccoli, Beef Tofu (hot), Egg Fried Rice

Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen

4.4(223 reviews)
1.0 miNorth Center

Dai Yee's Asian Kitchen is the underground emperor of late-night Chinese food in Chicago, the spot…read moreyour Uber driver, your bartender, and every chef in the city whispers about when they're truly hungry. Tucked into a no-frills corner on the South Side, Dai Yee's looks modest from the outside, but step in after 10 p.m. and it's pure magic. The room is packed with everybody--sneakerheads, nurses coming off shift, club kids, cops, and couples on first dates who somehow heard the legend. The vibe is chaotic in the best way: woks roaring, orders flying, and that unmistakable perfume of sizzling garlic, ginger, and chili filling the air. The food is straight-up stupid good. The Hong Kong-style salt & pepper smelts are crackly, spicy, and gone in 30 seconds. The beef chow fun has that elusive wok hei (breath of the wok) that most places only dream of, wide rice noodles slick with smoky char and tender flank steak. The black pepper beef tenderloin is velvet-soft, glossy, and aggressively peppery in a way that makes you order extra rice just to survive the happiness. The Singapore noodles are bright curry perfection, and the Mongolian beef is saucy, crispy-edged, and borderline addictive. Portions are straight out of the 90s--massive trays that could feed a family of four for under $15. Cash-only, BYOB, and everything comes out blazing hot in under ten minutes even when the place is slammed. The ladies running the show are legends: fast, funny, and they'll roast you (lovingly) if you can't handle the spice level you asked for. If you leave Chicago without hitting Dai Yee's at least once (preferably at 1 a.m. with a six-pack), you didn't really experience the city. This is real-deal, no-filter, soul-satisfying Chinese food that reminds you why we fall in love with restaurants in the first place. Dai Yee's isn't just a restaurant; it's a Chicago institution in the making. I'd wait in line in a blizzard for those smelts. See you at midnight.

Dam I was disappointed we went away empty. Based on the reviews I really wanted to try this place but alas it wasn't meant to be. How do you give a rating to a restaurant you didn't eat at? Sorry I can't give you a 5 star rating but it's hard to judge on not eating your food

Such a pleasant, fulfilling surprise. By chance we stopped at Shang Noodle, looked in the window…read moreand was drawn inside. Atmosphere was great; a little noisy, but in a good way. Lots of friend groups and others, enjoying their together time, incredible meals, and just sharing together. Serious stuff: Ambiance was very inviting, letting all clientele the opportunity for unfettered enjoyment. Food was flavorful, sumptuous - just delicious and more than ample. Service; quick, courteous, attentive. Waitstaff proving good information on menu items and pairing suggestions. They checked on us several time, ensuring everything was to our liking. If ever back in Chicago, I will definitely be look for Shang Noodle!

Went here on a whim last night after reading all the glowing reviews on Yelp. Before that, I…read morechecked out a few eateries on the 4th floor of the Nordstrom building, but nothing really stood out, and honestly, none of them seemed very busy and the one restaurant Lao Sze Chuan was way too expensive, $30+ entrees were average and the place wasn't busy at all. So I decided to try Shang Noodle, which was tucked away on a side street off Grand Ave., just steps from Michigan Ave. It's across from the Nordstrom building, past Labriola's, down some steps and about a block away located on the south side of the street. As soon as I walked in, and I wasn't expecting this but the restaurant was extremely loud and nearly every seat was taken and everybody seemed to be enjoying themself, families, couples and groups. I figured that was a good sign and it signaled to me that the food was probably good! At first, the host wanted me to sit at the bar, which I politely declined because I don't usually sit at bars, also, I was there to eat, not pick up somebody! I noticed a small table open, pointed it out, and he kindly let me take it. No 'tude either! As far as my server goes, she was efficient, friendly, and very helpful with recommendations since it was my first visit and probably because I didn't look like the other customers who were more familiar with the cuisine. She suggested the pot stickers over the hot and sour soup, and the beef Chow Fun instead of chicken Chow Fun. The pot stickers were a little small, but crispy and very tasty. I also asked for some sweet and sour sauce on the side which I'm glad I did because it paired nicely with the pot stickers instead of that plain vinegar sauce they usually serve you. For my main dish, I ordered the char-grilled beef Chow Fun. The portion size was more than generous, and the char-grilled beef had a great umami flavor. A few of the rice noodles were a bit firm, likely undercooked, but overall though it was quite enjoyable. What I appreciated the most about Shang Noodle was the value. $18 for the beef Chow Fun and $9 for the pot stickers felt reasonable to me, considering it was on the dinner menu, the portion sizes were humongous and the restaurant was located on the Near North Side, which is usually quite pricey. I'll definitely be back, though next time I may try lunch instead, or go with friends of mine.
