MCCB Chicago

Noodles and spicy lamb were very flavorful but lotus dish was very dry and flavorless. I wish we took the second lamb portion (price was the same for lotus and lamb!). Many tea options and nice service.

The szechuan dry hot pot was excellent. It's a build your own dish thing but the flavors are really strong. The pork with garlic sauce was a little lacking though. Not very much pork and the flavor was pretty muted. Everything else was overall good.

Friendly, quick, and extensive menu. Recommended in the 2022 Michelin guide. Egg drop and egg roll (chicken) were spot on! Chief’s special beef was amazing: you can ask for less heat🥵

We came here for lunch and had a great meal! We walked in and waited 15 minutes to be seated, but the service was great. We ordered the Szechuan spicy beef and maw, lamb stir fry with pure cumin, signature dry chili flank steak, chef’s special stir fry duck with baby taro, and Szechuan dan dan noodles. We thought the lamb stir fry with pure cumin and the signature dry chili flank steak were particularly good, but the Szechuan dan dan noodles were not authentic at all and lacked flavor. Additionally, the chef’s special stir fry duck with baby taro was flavorful, but the cut of duck meat had many small bones inside and not much duck meat, making it hard to eat and not worth the price. However, prices were reasonable overall, and we would return for the cumin lamb and dry chili flank steak and to try other items on the menu.

I went this location on 8/12/2023, I love visiting Chinatown and this restaurant. This is maybe my second time visiting. I'm able to order a lot of different food items at a decent price. Each time I have always have amazing custom services. Usually there is a wait time but this time I was able to be seated right away. I would definitely recommend all this time restaurant. They are known for their award and quality of food. I will definitely keep coming.

Delicious! Seating downstairs looked a little cramped and busy, but we had a party of 6 and dined upstairs around a larger table that was perfect for sharing. Great portions and quality, especially for the price.

The crispy shrimp with peach (also available with mango) was an interesting riff on the more common honey walnut shrimp. The wonton soup broth had a strong flavor from the green onion and made for a refreshing option between dishes. One of the overall favorite dishes was the honey black pepper chicken with bell peppers. We also loved the pig oil noodles.

The only downside to the atmosphere was the volume upstairs; loud music was playing (with karaoke videos/lyrics if you wanted to sing along too) and it was sometimes hard to hear other friends across the table. We asked for the music to be lowered a little and our secret obliged.

I'd happily return, and hopefully with a large group again so we can enjoy the extra space upstairs.

Visiting Chicago and decided to head downtown and do China Town. It’s such a fun place and you feel safe and surrounded by people who just want dine and shop and carry on.

I really wanted to give this place 5 stars considering it’s a Michelin rated restaurant. The food is very good and the prices are reasonable considering it’s a Michelin establishment.

We had their famous spicy noodles which ended up just being too oily for us to finish. The shrimp dish we had was good but nothing fancy. We ordered their fish in clay pot and it was really spicy 🥵. However the rib-eye steak was a perfect 5 star. Outstanding and the presentation was wicked awesome.

I docked it a star because the service was ok and we were put into a corner where dish-ware and knickknacks on a shelf were above our head. Felt like we were in a closet. They need to improve their seating and simply take better control of their reservation setup. I would happily pay more for better service and seating.
