Wasn't impressed with the food one bit. The fried rice and the egg rolls had no flavor at all. Wouldn't have been able to tell the difference if it weren't for the roll itself. Not to mention the $25 tag on the meal, made it that much harder to swallow.....literally. There are any number of better restaurants in China Town on Cermack and Wentworth at a better price.

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. The staff is great and they remember us. Food is delicious and never dissapointing. Maybe not authentic chinese, but it's still a great place to eat and laugh with friends.

Good place, but there are better places in the Chicagoland area.
Yu's in Schaumburg is much, much better. That is real Chinese, not the American fusion that Ben Pao serves.
