I
came
here
for
dinner
one
night
while
in
Chicago.
I
was
with
a
party
of
four
and
we
decided
to
walk
here
from
our
hotel
and
enjoy
the
evening
air.
After
quite
a
few
twists
and
turns,
staircases
and
a
few
elevators
we
arrived
at
the
restaurant
which
is
tucked
away
in
a
small
alcove
between
buildings.
I'm
an
explorer,
so
the
roundabout
way
of
getting
there
was
right
up
my
alley.
Looking
at
the
restaurant
from
the
entrance
it
almost
looked
like
it
was
closed
at
first.
Upon
walking
in,
there
was
a
bar
and
some
seating
available
in
a
small
dining
area.
It
seemed
so
empty
and
I
wondered
if
it
was
closing
soon,
as
it
looked
so
neat
and
quiet
with
no
staff
to
be
seen
other
than
one
person
behind
the
bar.
I
was
in
for
another
twist
and
turn
as
the
person
behind
the
bar
greeted
us
and
took
us
around
a
corner
into
a
dining
area
that
was
packed
with
people
and
very
vibrant.
I
caught
a
glimpse
of
the
skyline
through
some
windows
across
the
dining
room.
Unfortunately,
we
were
seated
on
the
opposite
end
of
the
restaurant.
We
were
brought
complimentary
tea,
which
was
really
good.
Instead
of
a
hard
copy
menu,
we
were
brought
a
tablet
to
order
off
of
a
digital
menu.
It's
an
interesting
concept
but
between
multiple
people
trying
to
order
off
of
one
tablet,
it
felt
a
bit
cumbersome.
Unfortunately,
the
party
I
was
with,
was
not
in
the
mood
for
dim
sum
or
a
family
style
dinner,
so
we
ordered
separate
plates.
We
did
order
some
egg
rolls
for
the
table
which
came
out
quickly
and
tasted
freshly
made.
I
opted
for
the
Beef
Brisket
with
Eggplant
and
an
Avocado
Smoothie.
The
Avocado
Smoothie
had
a
good
flavor
and
was
not
too
thick
or
too
runny.
It
wasn't
overly
sweet
either.
The
Beef
Brisket
with
Eggplant
was
also
good.
The
brisket
was
tender
and
the
eggplant
was
juicy.
The
sauce
was
thick
and
had
a
strong
but
good
flavor.
It
was
a
large
portion,
so
it
was
a
challenge
to
finish
by
myself.
After
the
main
meal,
we
ordered
some
Baked
Creamy
Egg
Yolk
Buns,
which
were
delicious.
The
service
is
very
minimalist
which
is
not
an
issue.
The
waitstaff
did
not
come
to
the
table
very
often
unless
called
over.
The
food
was
good,
service
quick
and
the
ambiance
was
vibrant
and
family
friendly.
When
I'm
in
Chicago
again
I'll
have
to
stop
by
again
and
sample
their
dim
sum
menu.
