    Kung pao chicken lunch special
    Jimmy T.

    Solid Chinese option in the area. Lunch portions were generous. I would definitely come back.

    Crispy Chicken Wing, Egg Roll
    Tracy L.

    Food was good, and the portions were generous at reasonable prices. The highlight was the Singapore Noodles- better than most! General Tao and Orange Chicken tasted as they should, glad they weren't super breaded. I would've liked if the Yang Chow Fried Rice had more flavor, so I added a little soy saucd and chili. I also would've liked if the Crispy Chicken Wings had flavor or more seasoning. This was my first time and ordered directly from their website to support local. As a tip: They have great promotion offers, but be careful because dinner specials don't count towards the minimum $ order. I guess a small note flashes, but it's very easy to miss, so I learned after the fact and didn't get my free Salt and Pepper Shrimp. As a courtesy, they gave me free Crab Rangoon instead. Overall, I'd consider ordering again if I'm craving Chinese food.

    Sesame chicken and fried rice
    Samir K.

    Seriously craving sesame chicken and fried rice so I figured I'd try this place out. Starting with the chicken, it was still relatively crisp after delivery. Some pieces had a little too much breading to chicken, but a good flavor and not overly sauced. Fair amount of chicken for a small order too. The vegetable fried rice was good. A mix of vegetables throughout with my favorite being the baby corn and onion for the crunch. I wouldn't say this is the best I've had but man did it hit the spot.

    Weird slimy object in the fried rice
    Zack R.

    Absolutely disgusting. Their chicken chow mein consists of thin dry fried noodles that taste like burnt hair, and slimy chicken and vegetables swimming in a clear anemic jelly-like sludge. The fried rice had some crazy looking 5 inch long worm looking thing in it. About made me throw up. First meal I ever recall throwing straight in the garbage. They also did not include the egg rolls I ordered. Stay away. Plenty of good Chinese places in the neighborhood.

    Orange chicken w/ chicken fried rice
    Stacey W.

    Thank you for the BEST orange chicken I've ever had! The ease of ordering online was so helpful, the man working there was very helpful. The food was fresh, delicious & I'll be back :)

    Best Chinese in the neighborhood! Everything tastes super fresh, and the flavors are spot on. Highly recommend!

    Rangoon
    Lauren Z.

    Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised! Their orange chicken was some of the best I've had in a really long time along with their chicken fried rice. The meat was definitely fresh. Crab Rangoon appetizer was very appetizing ! I would pass on the chicken dumplings as I wasn't too impressed and the salt and pepper shrimp was okay too. Affordable prices and free delivery since I think it's new. B+!

The hottest dish that came out where the shrimp spring rolls. Can't go wrong with those to be honest. Again, like I said, maybe their dinner is better. If I had to compare price wise, I feel like it's comparable to Toronto prices.

Our server was really nice and gave us some good recommendations. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. The shrimp fried rice was nice soft and ... fried! The short ribs came paired with white rice with an amazing sauce. And the salt and pepper beef is to die for. The crab Rangoon's definitely had a little bit too much onion for my taste but overall, this was such a wonderful dining experience. Definitely must try. I would come back again.

    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.

I don't normally eat spicy besides like kimchi level but this was the perfecttttt level of spice before I'd be bothered by it. The rich but clear broth complimented the crispy bok choy, tender beef, and smooth noodles well and had such flavor profile throughout. Most importantly, I didn't feel like it was heavy or had that saltiness sometimes left in my mouth for noodle soups - just felt clean and rich. Putting this on my go-tos every time I come to visit now. It is a bit expensive I will say for what I'm used to for a beef noodle soup but perhaps that's the nature of the city or the ingredients being high-quality? I also wish they offered a smaller size for dumplings so I wouldn't have to choose either/or considering the noodle portion is pretty sufficient.

Rarely see 2 pieces being offered especially for double the price. We ordered their Jiaozi, Char Sui Bao, crab Rangoon, chilly chilli noodles, and their Xiang long Bao. All were great. The chilly chilli noodles is served cold and was very flavorful. The Xiang Kong Bao was amazing. The potstickers was probably my favorite dish and it's mess up char Sui Bao.
