I am visiting (Town) for a friend's birthday and graduation celebration, this place was close to my hotel and also had high reviews so I decided to check it out. I ordered the seafood XO special and the stirfry green beans and my friend ordered the General Tso's chicken. We were really pleased with the taste, the portions and how quickly they were able to make it. We did take it to go. When I was in there, it was pretty packed. I would definitely come back! read more

Easily the best noodle soup I've had. It's not just yummy, it's yummy yummy! This is a must go Chicago Chinatown spot if you're a noodle and soup lover. It's that legit! They have other Chinese staples too, but let's not kid ourselves, you come and come back again for the noodle soup. And they have PLENTY of different options of it to choose from. It's a small place and off the beaten path a bit, so get there before the lunch rush. Owners are super nice and welcoming. I discovered it on the walking food tour we did and I came back for more! read more

Yummy Yummy Noodles - Dumpling & Wonton & Beef Brisket Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This spot has changed hands, names, and menus over the years, but it seems to have found its identity - noodles. This family-run spot is quaint and doesn't offer much in terms of interior decor and lighting. The entrance is also fully covered in a decal, which makes it easy to walk right by this spot. The food makes up for some of these shortcomings. This is the familiar Cantonese cooking that is comfort food for many. The stir-fried noodles in particular are a must. There are rice dishes, soups, and more to choose from and you can't really go wrong with anything. The soup is my least favorite of these due to the broth lacking depth, but the wontons were good. The XO sauce stir-fried noodles with beef was my favorite. If you're looking for something casual with affordable dishes, Yummy Yummy is worth checking out. read more

Super good noodles and friendly staff! We got The 5 spice beef noodles, the brisket and wonton noodle soup, the crab rangoons, the shrimp soup, and chicken stir fry. I would say over all it was really good. Not the best I've ever had but very delicious. The crab rangoons were amazing and filled with stuffing. We went on a Saturday around 2 pm and it wasn't that busy. read more

I have been to Yummy Yummy Noodles a few times when I come to Chicago for work. They do one thing really good: noodle soups. All the ones I have tried from wonton to beef tendon and brisket are tasty and satisfying. Their Chinese BBQ is hit and miss. Last time I visited the roasted pork belly was divine. This time I had a duo platter with the pork belly and duck. It was mediocre, pork was too fatty and chewy. The duck was bland, no dipping sauce, and stringy. We also had the cumin lamb which I usually love, but it didn't have great flavor this time. I still recommend it for the soup noodles. I wrote this review mainly to add an updated menu. read more

A nice, no frills noodle shop in Chinatown with a plethora of traditional Chinese noodle soups for a very good price. I wouldn't say there's anything particularly fancy about this place, it does noodles and does it effectively. Definitely a place to stop by during a cold winter day. The seating area is slightly small and congested so it may get a bit cramped during busy times. read more

Yummy Yummy Noodles - Spicy beef shank noodle soup - Noodles Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's tough to find a spot in Chinatown that can accommodate a large group on a Sunday, but this place has been reliably available whenever we come. Just last Sunday, we went with a group of 10. They serve up the best local Chinese food in the area for a reasonable price. They offer a wide variety of dishes, and everything we've tried has been delicious. I almost want to call this a hidden gem since this place is kind of tucked away and not on the Main Street (Wentworth). Tho ALL the locals know about this. Please go show this place some love. Their service was fast despite how busy it got. My recs if you like bold flavors: - walnut shrimp - crab rangoon - orange chicken read more

FINALLY tried this place!! This iconic place in Chinatown serves up large portions of practically ANY Cantonese food you can think of. Their service is QUICK - I went with a group of 8, and another group of 8 came in for takeout. We all got our food within 15 minutes, which is impressive! They have small tables and also 2 round tables with lazy Susans that could probably easily fit 10-12 people! Perfect for a large group hang out! They have a "secret" dine in menu that has all their bbq meats with rice/soup noodle dishes on it. You need to ask specifically! Such affordable prices too! I got the curry beef brisket with rice that was only $8.99. The curry was like typical HK curry fish balls curry, and it came with a generous portion of rice to beef ratio. If you like both beef tendons and brisket, this will be perfect for you! read more

Yummy Yummy Noodles - Curry beef brisket over rice - Noodles Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I would consider this to be a perfectly fine standard Chinatown restaurant. The BBQ meats are pretty tasty, and the grilled eggplant is exceptional. I wasn't the biggest fan of the noodles (they were okay, but weren't hand-pulled or anything) or of the seafood that came with the grilled eggplant. My dining companions liked their sweet and sour chicken but found the fried rice to be more fried than fluffy. read more

The food here is affordable and hits the spot! I've been looking for a spot to get my craving of wonton and brisket noodle soup, and I think I found it here. The wontons were juicy and flavorful while the brisket was fatty and tender. The soup had a good amount of flavor and was salty enough for my liking. I also enjoy getting their bbq pork or roasted pork over rice from time to time. The service was pretty quick, and we got our food relatively fast. I've ate here once, and it wasn't too bad in terms of service. The decor is okay. I wish it was a little more welcoming, but you can't complain when it's all about the food! read more

The wifey and I decided to make a day trip to Chinatown to try many of the delicious restaurants and bakeries, so we decided to give Yummy Yummy Noodles a try. The vibe: the place is your classic hole in the wall restaurant; no frills, traditional and cozy. We went towards opening, so there was no wait and was served right away. We ordered the spicy beef noodle with beef shank and the fried fish balls (not pictured). These dishes hit the spot; so much flavor, good amount of spice (although I am biased toward spicy food), tender beef shank and hot out of the fryer fish balls. As for the noodles, you can choose a variety; from egg, rice or classic vermicelli based on your preference. The price is affordable and the portions are huge. Overall, we'd come here again, the food was delicious and comforting for the soul. read more

I LOVE YUMMY YUMMY! Prob my favorite and one of THE BEST restaurants in Chinatown! Being Chinese, I can attest to its authenticity(!!!) in flavors. Being 1st generation American born and having had so many other cuisines in Chicago, almost NOTHING (except ma's cooking) beats the quality and flavors here. If you order the bbq, do yourself a favor and do NOT, I repeat, do NOT reheat leftovers in the microwave. Reheat in a pan or wok with a little bit of olive, avocado, or organic canola oil--makes the roast pork, duck, and cha siu taste as good if not better the next day! I SWEAR this! (The pan or wok reheating crisps up that skin SO NICELY) When you can't get ma's home cooking, Yummy Yummy is the place to go. The bbq and especially roast pork are SO GOOD in fried rice (no soy sauce, extra green onions). The seafood and tofu dishes are Quality and cooked perfectly. The fish balls are sooo good! The gailan (Chinese broccoli with garlic) is cooked perfectly! The Chinese sausage fried rice is SO VERY delicious! (Only ma's is better) The only things I'd add if possible to it would be a little salted fish and chives mixed in and a tiny bit of black sesame oil with the fried rice. Their jook (aka congee) is the PERFECT comfort food when it's cold outside. The only thing I'd add to it is some fresh ginger, green onions, and shredded lettuce. Their Chinese BBQ is SO good it's the biggest reason I can't become vegetarian! Their food makes me happy cry and think of HOME it's so good! It's like angels dancing in my mouth! I literally pray twice before and AFTER I eat it! Once to thank God for the food, then after to thank God for Yummy Yummy and THEIR food! If this review seems excessive, I promise it is not. I'm only sad I can't give 10 stars. read more

Food was mediocre. Bland beef noodle soup. Service was fine. More Americanized Chinese food than what I had been hoping for more traditional Chinese palates. read more

Stopped by unexpectedly because I found a parking spot. I ordered the salt and pepper shrimp no shell. My food was ready quickly. I like to order salt pepper shrimp from anyone that sells it without shell because everyone prepares it a little differently. This place prepares it lightly breaded no shell as requested with jalapeño peppers and onions and white rice. It was good. read more

About 2 weeks into 2025 and made my first visit to one of my favorite staples: Yummy Yummy Noodle! The baby was feeling under the weather and we wanted to get her some congee and living in the northside there are very limited options. It was either go to Argyle, Uptown which was ~ 25 min away or pay premium prices in Lincoln Park locations. So it was a no brainer to hit up Chinatown. We almost ordered at China Wok/D Cuisine but Yummy Yummy Congee was $3 less! Then on top of that we managed to get 2 additional dishes which would have been the price of 1 for the other places. Fish Fillet Congee - 10/10 even if it was for my daughter I had to 'taste test' & it slapped. So good she had 3 bowls! Beef brisket & tendon (wide egg) Noddle Soup - 100/10 always hits! & this type I remembered the right noddle type. Last time had the rice noodle because I forgot what I had the first time and it wasn't the same. Good but wide egg middle is better imo Salt & Pepper Porkchop - 7.5/10 It was good and also very generous amount of protein portion but maybe since it was take out, it lost the extra crispness that it usually comes with All in all worth ~15 min drive there and sitting in traffic to go home and the food was still hot too. Love this place! read more

A hidden gem, amazing value, and so so cozy! Tucked away in Chinatown, serving fresh noodles & delicious entrees. Ambiance: the space is actually pretty big and has tables for small to large parties. Reminds me of family restaurants I ate at growing up Service: Quick & friendly service - waters were always filled up! I will say it's best to pay by going up to the counter yourself. You'll be compensated in fortune cookies Food: - Each bowl of noodles was less than $10. A clean flavorful broth with fresh noodles and so much delicious protein - Highly recommend the roast duck and barbecue pork (not pictured) - Those fried fishballs are unassuming and so flavorful, amazing values as well - also not pictured are their salt & pepper chicken wings - SO FRESH and comes with a heaping scoop of rice With no doubts, definitely one of my favorite spots in Chinatown read more

I've been wanting to try this place since forever and finally had the chance to over the weekend. I did a takeout of bbq pork with noodles, roast duck over rice, and an order of pea tips. I had half an order of pea tips leftover and turned it into lunch the next day for work. This place is family owned and they worked their way up to finally having their own storefront restaurant. Their prices are super reasonable for the amount of food you get! I thought the duck was very flavorful compared to other places I would get it from. The duck wasn't super salty like how they do it at BBQ King House. I would definitely keep coming back here for the roast duck over rice because it is only $9. Other places definitely charge at least $11 for just one BBQ item over rice. The BBQ pork had just the right amount of lean and fat ratio in every bite you take. I cannot wait to come back here for more takeout. I honestly think this might become my favorite go to place in Chinatown if I want cheap authentic food. read more

Hot wonton noodle soup on a cold day hits just right. The man who sat us down and the woman who took our order were so sweet. They checked in on us periodically. The restaurant wasn't busy when we went so it was nice to eat and chat with some music softly playing in the bg. I'm sure it gets super busy during the weekends. The wonton noodle soup was delicious. The broth was delicious and flavorful. The chicken satay was a little dry but still delicious and I added the fried chili oil sauce thing at the table to it for some added flavor. read more

Good clean place off of the main Chinatown street. The lady was very nice and felt like this is what a Chinese meal at home might be like. She was very helpful. The place was clean and the prices were very reasonable. We ordered the pan fried beef noodles and combination fried rice. Two dishes between 3 kids and 2 adults and it was enough food for the family. The food came out fast, was fresh and very tasty. Like a comfort meal that you would want if you were looking for a no frills, good tasting, one style Chinese food. It was exactly what the doctor ordered and we ate it up. Great experience and will be coming again when we are in Chicago. Definitely worth the drive from the burbs and top notch service. For a little over 25 bucks, the cheapest meal we had while visiting Chicago. read more

We took our sons to Yummy Yummy Noodles and had the best dinner. We had crab rangoons, potstickers, wonton soup, beef brisket and wonton noodle soup, chicken fried rice, orange chicken - requested spicy, and General Tso's chicken. Everything was a hit! When we ordered the orange chicken, the server asked if we wanted it spicy or not and we said spicy, but it was not overly spicy at all, but the boys still loved it. The wontons contain shrimp and pork, and the server was careful to explain that in case anyone had an allergy. We were able to walk in and have no wait on a Sunday at around 4:30pm, which was great because it's a small place and almost all tables were filled (and were filled by the time we started receiving food). Service was quick and friendly, and we didn't feel rushed. The location is convenient and it seemed to be a popular restaurant with delivery drivers picking up orders every few minutes. We will definitely be back! read more

This is another gem for all of you noodle or soup lovers. The one handy thing that makes them stand out is that when you order you get choose from sizes of the particular noodles you rather have.

They also serve you pretty fast so don't worry if you are coming hangry lol. Can't wait to come back again. read more

Still my favorite place. I order their Japanese Salt & Pepper Tofu for delivery at least once a month! I love the seasoning of their tofu so much that I attempted to recreate it at home one time, and let's just say...I'll just leave it to the real cooks haha. Soups come in generous portions, and I also loveeeee their roast pork over rice! Great "over rice" specials to get the most bang for your buck, and the food quality has always been consistent since my first review years ago! read more

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I love beef tendon and that's something I don't make at home so I'm happy I have a go-to place now! The ambiance is one that just reminds me of an old school noodle house cafe/diner. Very casual, nothing spectacular but to me, it's more about the quality of the food. The service was outstanding, too. They were very friendly and the food arrived quick, too. I will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu. read more

It's yummy, it's comfy, and it's incredibly reasonably priced. The food isn't mind-blowing, but it's certainly a good place to take the family when they're hungry, and leave full. It's cozy in there. The squid and congee hit tha spot, juicy and savory in all the right ways. The brisket noodle soup was lacking in my opinion, not super flavorful, and the beef could've been more tender. It will do, unless you are a noodle fiend. What absolutely blew my mind, though, was the one woman who single-handedly bussed tables, seated guests, and served every table in the restaurant. read more

Yummy Yummy Noodles - Wonton & Beef Brisket Noodle Soup - Noodles Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The food was mediocre. We got the brisket and wonton noodle soup. The wontons were fine, but the brisket was SO tough and hard to eat. The ratio of broth to noodles was outrageous, but what made this a one star was the service. Never in my life had I ever had such a bad experience. We sat down, they took 10 minutes to get to our table. When they did, we ordered one thing. Yes, there was 4 of us and we understand how annoying that would be but was planning on leaving a large tip. When we ordered one thing they said "that's it?" And when we said yes, they sighed very loudly and left. Every time they came by to drop off bowls, they would nearly throw it on the table. I understand how frustrating it would be to have a table of 4 order one thing but there's no need to treat us like that. Very unprofessional and disrespectful. After that, we were very put off and decided to end up tipping $0. When we were leaving, they said very loudly in front of the whole store "you're not going to leave a tip?" I said loudly, "no, I think we're good" but my friend reluctantly set down $2. Our meal was $10. 20% and for what. That is extremely rude to pressure your customers to tip especially when the service was outright awful and nonexistent. It was not a busy time, there was one other table in the store and the table was huge and probably would've tipped a large tip because of the amount of food they were ordering. There was no need to call us out for $2. My friend didn't even feel good about leaving the tip and tips are supposed to be left willingly. Now for a $2, you got a nasty review on here, I really hope it was worth it. Please do better. We will NOT be back. The place wasn't even clean and the food was not worth $10. I am Taiwanese, this joke of a place is not authentic at all. Please save your money and time. This was my first time in Chinatown and it was the worst thing that could've happened. read more

Pretty good noodle spot. Stopped by the fair and happen to see this noodle spot. There was a lot of people but got seated pretty quickly. The service was pretty fast and they were really attentive too when I asked for water, extra sauce and take out. The wide egg noodles are a must get and add some vinegar for some extra flavoring. The restaurant itself can get a bit loud and it looks pretty old but it is a pretty average local chinese restaurant. read more

UMMMMMMMM. It's of I give it a 4 star for effort. I will not miss this food IF I NEVER HAVE IT AGAIN. Not memorable . Very little flavor. One Thai noodle soup three stars 3 1/2 at best .

Perhaps they had a bad day, but I doubt it . read more

Located in old Chinatown this place is underrated. The prices are super reasonable with a special menu of dishes $8-10 and you aren't trading quantity for quality. You are given the option to choose between a choice of different kind of noodles. For me I picked the egg wide noodles and roasted duck on top. At first I thought this combo was going to disappoint because I have never seen much popularity behind the pairing, glad I was proven wrong. Duck tasted way more flavorful than the $8 price and the broth was heavenly. Definitely coming back here another day. read more

My sister and I came in on 4:30 pm on Thursday -- super hungry as this was our first "real" meal of the day. It wasn't super busy and we were kindly welcomed and seated. We ordered the egg drop soup, crab Rangoon, pepper steak and combination chow mein. Everything came out super fast and was super flavorful. They accommodated my extra request -- small bowls to split the soup and removal of the jalapeños in the pepper steak because my little sister didn't like spice. They were also really attentive-- coming around to refill our water and check on us. Regarding ambiance, it's not the nicest but it isn't ugly-- just causal. Great to stop in while exploring the neighborhood but not the place to visit for special occasions like anniversaries or engagements. The big tables accommodate a nice group or family as do the portions. I don't think the reviews here are lying ! The food is amazing, the service is great and the prices are excellent! We would definitely come back!! read more
