Neal J. • February 15, 2019Great food and service. Preferred the beef and lamb and pork to the seafood dumplings. But everything overall is delicious. Cool to see the open kitchen and the team making the dumplings as well!
Spoon University • January 3, 2017Although primarily a pizza place, Ricobene’s gained fame for their steak sandwich. Bourdain highly recommends you try this mashup of crispy meat, melty cheese, and fresh bread.
Dan R. • March 3, 2019Good mix of fancy pastries, pretty cakes, macarons, bread. Tasty and affordable
Jon B. • January 11, 2020Excellent dim sum. Loved the pork shumai, beef and seafood crepes, and fried shrimp dumplings.
ISC C. • October 13, 2023All You Can Eat Hot Pot (SPICY MARROW BROTH, PREMIUM BEEF, BEEF TRIPE, FISH BALLS, BEEF TENDON BALL, HOUSE LAMB WONTONS, FROZEN TOFU, SEAFOOD MUSHROOM, BABY BOK CHOY, MARBLED LAMB)
E. W. • May 16, 2010One of the more unique offerings is a rice pancake with egg custard. Try it. It's .70 cents. The outside is a perfect, sweet chewiness; the inside? Coconut-tasting custardy bliss.
Mike • December 29, 2014One of my favorite authentic Chinese food joints in Chicago. I have yet to try anything I did not like. But beware the Szechuan chicken: it will literally destroy your mouth.
Time Out Chicago • April 17, 2012As much as we love meringue and aioli, this year all other eggy goodness faded in comparison to Cai’s egg-yolk buns. These Chinese breakfast bombs are sweet, creamy, and filled with sugary egg paste.
Jaime S. • April 26, 2012One of the best restaurants in Chinatown. Great Orange Chicken. Must try Emperor Potstickers, my favorite.
Chicagoist • April 4, 2017At this wood-trimmed spot, you’ll be amply rewarded when you choose from shoyu, shio, miso, tonkotsu and—if you dare—tongue-singeing hell-style broths, all of which feature house-made noodles.
Zachariah M. • March 1, 2020The big bowl is definitely big enough for 2 (or 3)! I loved the shaved noodles.
Zachariah M. • April 7, 2019The Bam Bam noodles and the lamb ribs were amazing! My gf also loved the pork flat bread.
jerome k. • March 18, 2017The meat cuts are great, the ventilation is new and effective, the rice volcano is amazing, but the real star was the kimchi (home made). Fresh, perfectly carbonated kimchi!
Colin Y. • June 3, 2018Fantastic beer selection, national and Midwestern, but with an emphasis on Illinois/NWI beers. And some really good/rare ones for Chicago too.
Kami • August 15, 2018Bubble waffle ice cream will change your life. Try a new flavor! You can ask for a sample of any ice cream before ordering. Don't just stick to chocolate!!
