If you want somewhere to take your girl; this is the spot.
Make a reservation and ask for a vault. I repeat: reserve a
vault. The vaults are dimly lit, semi-private, cozy little squares in
the back of the restaurant. The restaurant offers pan-asian food
that is moderately priced. You and you date can eat well for under $80.
Valet parking is $10. So bring $90 to be safe. The food was pretty good.
I was impressed with the Tao of chocolate, which is flourless chocolate
cake and cherry-vanilla ice cream.
Pros: Ambience
Cons: no cons, Opera is all good

We contacted the restaurant before our recent trip to Chicago to find out a bit more about their Gluten Free dishes. We have not been able to find a good sweet and sour chicken for OVER a year since going gluten free due to our son's Celiac Disease. So, we thought we would ask to see if they could accomodate and accomodate they did.
The VP came out and introduced himself and was very interested in making our son's dining experience with them special AND SAFE!
The sweet and sour chicken was flavorful and plentiful. The sauce was not heavy and the breading on the chicken was not so heavy you couldn't find the chicken. The taste was excellent and our service was excellent. It was NOT loud during our dinner. It was busy and we had no problems with getting drinks refilled or things delivered quickly.
We WILL definitely be back. We had gluten free and gluten filled items at our table and enjoyed them all.
The wheat free beer on the menu is an ale that had lots of taste and I would have never known it was wheat free. My husband ordered the wheat free beer although he didn't need to and really liked it.
He also ordered a chicken that was lightly breaded in an orange flavored sauce that was awesome. Very light again on the breading and lots of great flavor.
Our compliments to Ed Culleeney for making our dinner out both safe and enjoyable!
Kudos to you and your staff,
Pros: Good service, atmosphere and prices
Cons: parking like everything else in Chicago!

Whenever we come to Chicago we have to stop at Phoenix. The dim sum is simply awesome. We were there yesterday and the food was incredible as always. We enjoyed everything we had and we tried a variety of dishes. The shrimp dumplings are the best! The service can be spotty but we were seated near the door to one of the samller rooms and were able flag down any cart that appealed to us and usually they stopped every pass.

PF Chang's is a trendy Chinese restaurant. The food and presentation are good. I recommend the chicken lettuce wraps and the vegetable spring rolls. The entrees are average. The service is typically good. The server makes a sauce tailored to your tastes. Free parking in this area is difficult, however, there are plenty of parking garages nearby.

I absolutely love this place. I have nothing but good things to say about it. I have been to this one many times. As well as the one in Shaumburg and the ones in both Phoenix and Scottsdale Arizona. I have never had a bad experience. Or a long wait. The serves are always so nice and attentive. But not overly so where they are being a constant interuption. The food is great. I love the lettuce wraps. I do wish the spicy foods were a bit spicier but they are very good none the less. It's an excellent atmosphere.
Pros: Everything
Cons: Spicy foods could have a bit more kick

Even the fanciest restaurants in town just can’t beat the presentation, taste and appeal of the food at Joy Yee’s Noodles. Everything looked so good, I've seen folks take pictures before they devour the tasty meal! For Appetizers, try their Crab Rangoon, Shrimp in a Blanket, or their Lemon Grass Chicken Wings. For the Entree, I love their Fried Red Snapper in Tamarind Sauce, Korean BBQ Ribs, Chicken Shrimp Rice in a Pineapple Boat, or their Soft shell crab over rice in a Korean stone bowl. And while you are there, try their amazing selection of fresh fruit drinks. Their food is a visual and gastronomic delight - take your camera along!
Pros: Best asian food hands down, appeal, unbeatable price!
Cons: none

I must say i really appreciate Yen's. It's not inventive, pioneering cuisine by any means. But it is chinese food done exceedingly well. The flavors are balanced, and the kitchen obviously takes great pride in what they do. Today there is so, so much bad chinese food out there, that it is truly refreshing to find a place like Yen's which does what it does great! This is an excellent restaurant for basic chinese food- it is WAY BETTER THAN CHEN'S on clark street.
Pros: excellent pott stickers, won ton soup, kung pao chicken
Cons: none

Can't beat this place for chinese food on the north side. I'm reading some of these reviews and they must not know what they are talking about. The egg rools and crab rangoon are best in town. Atmosphere isn't anything to write home about, but one goes there for the food not trendy decor.
Pros: Parking

I've been with some friends here a couple times and i love their dishes. Order the Casino, it's not on the menu but you won't regret it. Even their new Fire Fried Sushi, is great. The only thing I didn't like was the Vegetable Tempura, the sauce wasn't that good, but everything else was great. As for martini's, try the GQ, it's yummy.
Pros: Casino dish
Cons: Parking, park at McDonald's for $10 if you can't find street parking

to the lady who had the horrible experience with the hostesses, i am in a room with a group of people and read your rant to them, and no one can believe someone as whiny as you exists - what happened to you is not a big deal whatsoever, a simple mistake and the fact that you had write a negative review when you normally don't write reviews is simply pathetic.
i love dees since the first time i tried it, i think the szechuan beef is the one of the best dishes i ever had anywhere. one of the reviewers recommended the sesame shrimp - never had it, but i am looking forward to trying it tonight.
Pros: szechuan beef and all food in general i really think its the best chinese in chicago, so fresh and flavorful
Cons: not best atmosphere
