Chinese Cuisine
The popularity of Chinese food in America can be adjudicated by the appearance of China Town in many major cities in the United State of America. The popular trend of ordering or opting for Chinese take away food isn't unknown in America. Chinese take away food comes to rescue when you're too tired from work or too exhausted to cook. No one can resist the temptation of eating spicy noodles, shrimp, chicken, beef or pork cooked in the sweet and spicy sauce. The cooking method of authentic Chinese food is a lot different compared to what is served in America.
Generally, Chinese use dark meat small bones and organs to cook dishes but this changes when you are eating American-Chinese fusion food prepared using white boneless meat cooked with broccoli, carrots and onions. Back in China, the food is less spicy and oily as they favor steaming and braising method for cooking the most popular dishes. So, if you have a taste for authentic Chinese food, then try finding a real Chinese restaurant in the city. You can also try the most popular fusion Chinese food like Pecking Duck, Chicken Feet, Hot Pot, Shrimp Dumpling Soup, Mapo Tofu, Wontons, Chop Suey, Egg Rolls and not to forget Fortune Cookies.
There are not many restaurants in America serving authentic Chinese food. A little research on Restaurant Listings directory can help you locate the best Chinese restaurants in the city. Chinese cuisine is continuously evolving, and you can find a variety of dishes categorized as the food for lactose intolerant, gluten intolerant, vegan, vegetarian, and diabetic friendly. So, if you have a group of friends with different taste patterns, save the hassle and visit the nearest Chinese restaurant in your city.

I could very well be a professional dumpling eater. and Yu Ton failed my expectations in so many ways. First, I walk into a dimly lit food court which was somewhat busy. I looked around immediately for this 4.5 star rated dumpling place all the Yelpers are talking about and find it in the stall to the far right of the building. I walk up to is and see no one around. But the lights in the stall are on. What's going on? I look closer at the menu and see a hand written sign that says "order next door". What? Alright - so I order next door. I ordered the pork dumplings in spicy sauce which took about 15 mins to get. When I finally got them, I took a bit and realized that the meat was tough. It's supposed to be a smooth and juice minced meat. Instead it was like an italian meatball inside a dumpling skin. My coworker ordered potstickers from another stall and those were WAY better. I think the stall was called "Good Children" or something like that (maybe they make dumplings out of Bad Children?? lol...) If you're a dumpling connoisseur, go down the street to Katy's.

I've been here for dumplings before, which were an excellent rendition of a classic. But what really piqued my interest was the special weekend breakfast that's printed on the back page of their take out menu. The weekend breakfast, long elusive, held such treats as sweet soy drink, salty rice ball, chive bun, twisted cruller, and two kinds of congee among other things. I finally got a chance to check this place out this Sunday and it did not disappoint. My dining companion and I had made the trek to the suburbs to have dinner at my grandma's (review coming soon! :), but this lazy Sunday also afforded the opportunity to have breakfast at the international mall. The last couple of times I have come to the dumpling house have been weekend evenings, and I have had the pleasure of being the only person in the food court waiting for my steamed buns. However, the international mall's the place to be on a Sunday morning, as it was packed. We got to the food court and nabbed a paper menu from the counter so we would be ready to order when it was our turn. There were about 10 people ahead of us, so we had a bit of time. The menus at the dumpling house, and its sister restaurant, the Chinese Cafe, are pretty big with tons of choices, but we were here with a purpose: breakfast. We ordered the pork congee, a twisted cruller, sweet soy drink, a chive bun, and a bowl of the pork and cabbage noodle soup (not on the breakfast menu, but still looked amazing.) This turned out to be an enormous amount of food for $16.50. After spying a booth in the back, I waited patiently at the table while my dining companion stood at the front waiting for the food. After about 10 minutes, he returned with a tray packed with deliciousness. The congee, a thick rice porridge was loaded with pork, cruller pieces, and preserved egg, hearty and, with a touch of chili oil, perfect. The cruller was a sort of long, light and crispy doughnut, but not very sweet. I had noticed people dipping their cruller in the soy milk, so I did that and it was really tasty. My dining companion had also noticed that the crullers were fried to order, which probably accounted for the crispness. The chive bun was large dumpling which was approximately the size and shape of a hot pocket. It was filled with scallions and vermicelli rice noodles. Breakfast here is unlike anything I have ever had. This would be a good place to go with 3 or 4 people so you can try lots of things and have a fun, different meal.

Wow...I don't know what kind of magic they use on the vegetarian dumplings here, but I wish I could bottle it and spray it all over everything I make at home. After reading Dee's review, I found myself on Ogden Ave and pulled into the parking lot in front of the International Mall. Walking in at 11 am the place was empty. I approached the counter with one goal in mind: buy dumplings. I scanned the menu for a moment looking for the dumplings. Pork. Pork and Shrimp. Vegetarian. Ah. For 15.99 I bought 50 frozen vegetarian dumplings - that nets out to about .32/dumpling. Dee's review had me very curious. Would these really be the very best dumplings I've had in the US? I've worked in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan and have had some pretty good dumplings in my day. I've also had some good frozen dumplings from a Taiwanese specialty store near a former residence. How would Yuton stack up? Arriving home, I threw down my bags and unpacked my dumplings. Quickly heating up my dumpling, I wrung my hands in anticipation. Two minutes later I sat down with the dumplings - unadorned for the first go round, of course. The verdict? Delicious. Amazing. Addictive. I heated up a few for Agnes B, who happened to be visiting. She loved them too. They're flavorful, slightly chewy, with interesting, identifiable filling - a little tree fungus, some cabbage, a few mung bean threads, all intensely flavored. I'll be back for a refill. Soon.

This little dumpling stand/restaurant is located inside of the International Mall/food court. I know that they're known for their dumplings and we always order a bunch. This past weekend, my MIL ordered six orders of dumplings - steamed and fried - spicy beef, vegetarian, pork, chicken. Deliciously made to order. However, I always fall for the spicy beef noodles. One bowl is only $5 and it's enough for two people to share. It's the perfect winter food and the flavoring is just right. The beef is tender enough and it's my guilty pleasure for ordering beef noodle soup at a dumpling stand.

First, I just wanted to say that for the uninitiated, every restaurant in the food court was owned by the same family. Secondly, it is one of few places in Illinois (maybe the only place?) that served authentic Chinese breakfast and Taiwanese street food. If you are looking for the run-of-the-mill Mandarin or Szechuan food, don't bother. Unfortunately it is closed when we were there today. Maybe it needed renovation. But the sign on the door says the power was shut off/out of power for the entire mall.
(5)Alfred K.
Vegetarian dumplings were good. Not particularly amazing but the peppery veggie mix in the middle was decent. The wrapping seemed more like Northern Chinese style instead of Taiwanese though - thick doughy especially at the crease. These are nowhere near as good as xiao long baos but if you're working on Pasquinelli or anywhere in Westmont, these are a nice treat.

Cheap food at a cheap price -- big portions at fast food prices. This is no hidden gem of exquisite cuisine but it gets the job done at a low price. If you're choosing between chop suey and a food court, you're probably better off going to the food court here -- otherwise go to Naperville if you're looking for classier cuisine. Here are my thoughts on some items: Sweet bean milk - served nice and hot with a soy flavor that is clear and bold. Good body and just the right thickness. Baked wheat cake - Multlayer, slightly sweet -- outside could be more crispy but an alright item to complement the soy bean milk. Twisted cruller - Large, fluffy -- outside could be a bit more crispy but has the right amount of oliness, chewniess, and flavor. Boiled shrimp and pork dumplings - thicker skin kind of like potstickers, good amount of filling inside although the pork flavor clearly dominates the shrimp flavor. Would go well with noodles but still nothing special -- although with the general lack of good Chinese dumplings in the area (Katy's is the only other one that comes to mind), this automatically becomes one of the best. Gets the job done -- filling, quick and cheap but don't believe reviews that claim that this is a hidden gem.

Food is incredible. Handmade noodle and weekends' breakfast are the best. Beef noodle soup is my favorite. Rice ball on weekend is really good. Soy bean juice and desert are great too. The problem is that it's too old school - dirty table, bad service, non-green and non-microwaveable containers, no credit card etc.
(4)Michelle B.
The pork and shrimp dumplings are delicious. The pork and cabbage spicy soup was perfect on a flurry - cold day. Also got the chives box, basically a crepe filled with chives and it was very flavorful and fresh. Minus one star for the lack of ambiance. But overall a great experience. Super delicious food. Inexpensive.

Stopped in recently for lunch, thought I'd give the joint a shot. Saw some rave reviews about the beef noodle soup and appetizing pictures of their fried dumplings...pretty much pre-determined my mid-afternoon selections. An odd location, set back in the midst of a food court of sorts. Plastic trays, bowls, and Styrofoam plates completed the mini-mall experience. The fried dumplings (aka pot stickers) came eight deep, were served solo, piping hot, made to order, and larger than the run-of-the-mill offerings. While the positives were apparent, they did fall short flavor-wise. Not much seasoning, although I'm not sure how much more could be expected of a typically plain and moreless pedestrian dish. The over-hyped spicy beef noodle soup was much the same. Don't get me wrong, it had everything it promised...perfectly cooked noodles, tender chunks of fatty beef, and a spicy broth, but that's where it seemed to end. Like the dumplings, there was little flavor and the soup hardly knocked any socks off. The overall stop was a love-hate kind of experience. Everything was done right, and that's great...it just didn't rise to the exalted four-star rep. A little more kick? bang?... would've went a long way.

Someone pinch me because this place is unreal! Yummy, authentic Taiwanese food at a great value. Came here Sat morning with the BF to get a light breakfast but we ended up ordering enough for a family of 4. Yea, we're fatties like that. Per the suggestion of the wonderful aunties that worked there, we ordered two of their popular dishes: beef noodle soup and pork chop noodle soup, both with hand pulled noodles. Of course, we had to try their fried dumplings, sweet bean milk, and fried dough stick as well. The dumpling meat was a little too pink / soup-less for me to fully enjoy but the beef noodle soup was one of the best I've had in Chicago and the pork chop was perfectly seasoned and crispy. Sweet bean milk was hot and delicious, just like how grandma used to make it (brownie points for that)! Yu Ton is located in the food court inside the International Plaza. You order at the counter, find your own table then wait for your number to be called. This is completely worth the drive to Westmont and I hate to admit it but Burbs 1, City 0...
(4)Hunter B.
Very affordable and delicious Chinese food. My Chinese friends say this is the most authentic place in the area. Cash only
(5)Victoria W.
Came here to try the dumplings. The veggie dumplings were alright, but I don't think they were the same as what other yelpers have been raving about -- there was no fungus, just cabbage, carrot and maybe some zucchini. And no seasoning, so really quite blah on their own. Of course, the spicy soy dipping sauce helped a lot. The hot soy milk was just okay--seemed kind of watery to me. Service was really friendly though! We'd definitely return to try other dishes. Their lunch specials looked great.
(3)Phoebe W.
Yep, I'm still on the Taiwanese breakfast hunt after Los Angeles trip 6 MONTHS AGO. After a hard week at work, I really needed some greasy and comforty goodness that is Taiwanese breakfast. Many of my dining companions (and according to my mother, myself included) came here as kids and feasted to our hearts content. Flash forward to 2013, the feast is not satisfying. Soup dumplings (xiao long bao) and veggie dumplings (boiled) were like Kristen Stewart's acting abilities, bland bland bland. Usually I am incredibly sensitive to salt and avoid dipping things in soy sauce, however this time around I was practically drinking soy sauce with my soup(less) dumplings. Tried my friend's potstickers, they were marginally better than boiled...but barely. Fried stinky tofu was not stinky and like the dumplings that preceded it, was incredibly bland. I did enjoy the pickled veggies that came as a topping, but more on that later. Midwest stinky tofu does not compare to the Stinky Tofu King in Arcadia, CA. That is a creme de la creme of fermented tofu awesomeness. Sigh. Beef flapjack was dry and bland like the rest of my lunch. However, I refused to give up on this little guy. I brought it home, reheated it in my toaster oven and stuffed the pickled veggies from the stinky tofu into the sandwich. Now, THAT was tasty! You're welcome, Yelp world. Not all of it was so bland though. Their youtiao (fried dough fritter) was on point! Crispy, warm, and somehow not that greasy even though the name translates to "oil stick". Just like mom makes. And yes, you should dip your youtiao in warmed sweet soy milk. That combo is the business. Their bubble milk tea is also decent. Service is slow and it's cash only. And once again my hunt for Taiwanese breakfast continues.

This place is amazing, offering a smattering of Taiwanese breakfast dishes, dumplings, beef noodles, braised meat combo platters, and many more small dishes that make Taiwanese snacking so enjoyable. The philosophy for ordering is to order many dishes in small portions, or just stop by and order a small snack at any odd hour of the day. Taiwanese 'snack' dishes, contrary to 'orthodox' asian dishes in more official dining settings, can be enjoyed WITHOUT a main rice or starch dish. So they are particularly suitable for hogging out on food when you don't feel like eating a full meal. For breakfast, I ordered a rice ball, which is a softball-sized ball of rice that is stuffed with dried pork shavings, quarter of an egg, pickled veggies, and some crispy chip-like things. Think of it as an asian rice-based version of a sandwich. I ordered the salty soy-milk for a drink, which is more like a soy milk based soup, with tofu pieces and crispy salty doughnuts inside. The braised meat combos (placed in plastic containers on the counter) are really nice to either eat in or to take out a whole box on the go. They consist of meat slices, tendons, tofu slices, seaweed, and bamboo sprouts, all braised with special sauces. They especially go well with dumplings, if you want more variety to your dumpling meal. All in all, the place is fantastically authentic and a definite plus to the variety for Asian food around Chicago.

Best Taiwanese breakfast in the area. Solid soy milk, shao bing are nice and soft, good you tiao, try your shao bing with beef inside or make a you tiao/shao bing sandwich. Also check out their lunch/dinner items. The yen su ji is heart attack inducing fried heaven. Beef noodle soup has nice handmade noodles, but the broth is just good, not great. Super low budget with nearly useless plastic utensils and cheapo rice, but the minimalist approach results in a super low price that can't be beat.
(5)Yao B.
Terrible place and food!!!!!!! After read the yelp review, I went there for dinner. The place is inside of 'International Mall' of nothing. It looks scary, dirty, and no customer service as well. I took a bite and left.
(1)Chet M.
This place is such a find and to be understood only by those who know what being a "Taiwan Villager" is all about - To be a Villager is to crave and be so satisfied with a $1.95 salted soy bean milk concoction that is essentially what peasants eat when there is nothing better to eat. To be a Villager is to drive 30 miles to get this salted bean milk with a side of bland fried dough stick. Total cost is $3.70. To be a Villager is paying no mind to your villagie food being served in styrofoam ware, plastic spoon and given 2 napkins to feed 4 villagie mouths. To be a Villager is to not be bothered by the Taiwanese cashier or cook harshly yelling out your order number for pick up in Taiwanese. To be a Villager is to take 10 minutes to decide what is the better buy for $6.50 - a package of sliced pig ear, soy beef tendons, spicy bamboo shoots, or cold pigs feet? To be a Villager is to keep coming back to a business that barks at you, accepts only cash, and shuts off the hot water in the washroom sinks. To be a Villager is to look around and everyone dining there is either as ugly or uglier than you. That's me, a Villager, loud and proud!

This place is located inside a plaza so it has a cafeteria feel to it. I remember coming here a lot for the stinky tofu, salty soy milk, and the fried cruellers. You basically order at the desk and then wait for your number to be called. You have to pay with cash... The bowls can be sticky if you order soup noodles. The spicy beef noodle soup is my favorite. The seafood udon is not bad either. I usually come here on weekends to get the best deals. Make sure you get there before 11 if you want the best stinky tofu. And I mean come on a Saturday. The first few batches of stinky tofu is so good that it might make you stand in line for a long time just for another platter. My brothers got the taste for their salty rice balls. You can brownie points for speaking their dialect! The price is pretty average. They also have a lunch menu and it is not bad. The rice dishes are average as compared to their noodle soup. Definitely give their potstickers a try too. They are delicious. The fried cruellers are crispy and not tough like the ones sold in chicago Chinatown. They have a special weekend and holiday menu. Make sure you get a hold of it so you can try the authentic food! Theree are also cold appetizers that are worth a try. They include the spicy pig ears and tea leaves eggs!!

The international food court is back to business! It reopened about a month ago and I have been there 3 times already. I didn't know how much I liked this foot court until I could not get my traditional Chinese breakfast in a few weeks. Most times we are there just for the weekend brunch to get soy milk, You Tiao - Chinese Fried Breadstick, beef noodle soup, and sticky rice wraps which you won't get anywhere in Chicago suburbs but here. Usually there is a long line to get the order in and then wait for your number to be called. I like they have kept up their quality since the first time I had my first You Tiao here 8 years ago. The weekday lunch is a good deal too. With $5.95, you got the meal and a pop. They are super quick to get your meal out. Please keep in mind that this is not P. F. Chang. It probably should do better with the decoration, serving with better plates (cheap plastic plates now), or making the place cleaner. But with the money you spend on the excellent authentic food, I am willing to overlook those.
(4)Ali R.
Best "fried dough fritters" in the area...! My daddy says so, so it's true! :P Seriously, the traditional weekend breakfast items are awesome and unique to the area. You just can't find all the items in one place. If you're there, get the fresh made soy milk, dunk in your order of yao-tou (fried dough fritters), stuff your face with their dumplings, and enjoy some beef noodle soup. They now offer handmade or packaged noodles, which I thought was odd, but hey, it's is what it is. If you're expecting service, english, or a clean enviornment, maybe you should opt out of this one. But if you just want good taiwanese food, go and it'll be worth it.
(4)Nessie V.
As good as you've heard. I read how great the vegetarian dumplings are here, and finally was out in the sticks nearby and decided to check them out. Its inside the international mall that looks like a professional building. Inside was not that exciting, so I'm thinking it will be either really amazing or really bad. I went in the mid-afternoon on a weekday, so the dumplings took a little while to appear. The vegetarian dumplings are steamed, and I prefer fried, but I go with it. The plate comes with no sauce, and I am a little worried. I dump some soy sauce in a cup, and go at it. They don't need sauce. You can see the black pepper inside. So tasty. I didn't even use the sauce. And I went back for some frozen ones for later. Definitely worth the trip.
(5)Mary Y.
The Chinese pancakes have gone down hill here. It use to be so good. Not anymore. Disappointed.... And it's cash only... (Avoiding sales tax?) It was my favorite Taiwanese breakfast place but now it does not taste the same. Also the tables and floors are all sticky and when you leave the place you smell like oil. I don't know what happened to this place but it really went down hill.
(2)PJ J.
Gonna give the benefit of the doubt here and say that it was language barrier that caused my food experience here to be less than 4 star. The dumpling meat is just hard as hell, and perhaps not all "xiao long bao" are actual "soup dumplings". We had the eggplant stir fry, which was better than average...the service was cool, the atmosphere was food show-like. It is an adventure for sure....but it just aint that good, hang a left on Ogden and drive to Chinatown.
(3)Reginald W.
Came here for a traditional Chinese/taiwanese breakfast and a beef noodle soup that I've been searching for since I came here for school. You know you have finally found a good place when the place is filled with middle and old chinese people and the line stays packed throughout the hour. I got the doughstick (fried crueller), sweet soymilk, the salty rice ball and beef noodle soup. The soymilk and doughstick are what im used to. Nothing special, but a comfort food for me. The salty rice ball was exactly how I like it, because they used a fresh doughstick rather than a refried doughstick. They gave half an egg in there which is nice. But I came for the beef noodle soup and this HAD the flavor I was looking for. It had THE beef and spice flavor that a beef noodle soup is suppose to have. This is the best beef noodle soup I have had in Chicago so far. This is far superior to Katy's beef noodle soup (I've reviewed that it's just spicy soup with no flavor) But compared to California it is only good. Bottom line: Come here on the weekends for chinese breakfast fares but definitely try their beef noodle soup and their other dishes.
(4)Ming C.
There is no equal for Taiwanese breakfast in Chicago or any where in the Midwest especially given the value. If you are a Yelper than this is the place 'hole in the wall' joint to try. Forget the negative reviews that whines about fried food being oily. Don't order fried food stupid! Watch what time you go there since around 11:30 am to 2:00 pm there can be a substantial line ( 10-15 people deep). This is a testament to how good the Taiwanese breakfast is here. Cash only.
(5)Sam S.
This Taiwanese food stall shares the same owner as its next door's Chinese Cafe. They've been around for some 15~20 years. Their regular menu has some dishes not commonly found in Chinese restaurants in Chicago, such as the "fish fillet with bitter melon." They also have one of the best kung pao dishes around. You can specify any level of spiciness in any dish you order. Typically a dish costs about $7 and portions are generous. One other unique thing about this place: Taiwanese breakfast on Sat and Sun mornings starting at 10 am. There you'll find soy bean milk (sweet or salty), fried fritters, soybean jello, different kinds of congee, rice balls with shredded pork, and other favorites at really low prices. The line can get pretty long so be patient. It's definitely worth it. They accept cash only - tho' you won't need to spend much here. Five stars for this little food court kitchen.
(5)Jeanne L.
This is the restaurant at the far right end inside the DiHo international market/food court right? If so, I love this place. Since my family moved to the area 20 years ago, my parents almost consistently brought us here for brunch every Saturday (until recently as we kids got older and moved to the city, and the parentals have had busier weekends). The yo-tiao (fried dough cruller) is actually better here than in its native origin of Taiwan (where both my parents are from). We consistently bring our friends who visit from Taiwan here, all who declare after eating it that they're way better than the ones in Taiwan (always overfried there). How is that possible? Don't know, but it's so good. Their beef noodle soup is always good too, as is their pai gu fan (pork steak over rice), and my favorite, their guo tyeh: potstickers. Their potstickers are longer than most in shape, and the pork filling is so good. Their xiao long bao (the steamed pork buns) are pretty good too, but if I eat here, i'm here for the potstickers. The cold tofu/seaweed/egg/beef appetizers they have sitting in plastic containers on the counter are really good too, we get those almost every time to eat with our hot food. I really want their potstickers right now... Oh and I'm pretty sure they don't take credit card, so bring cash.

If you ever drive south on 83 through Westmont, you may notice some very Asian signs right off Ogden. There's a little strip mall that contains a Chinese restaurant on one side, an oriental store on the other, and right in the middle is a structure that looks like an office building. When you walk inside, you will find something an oriental food court. This place has been here for years, and now that most of you know how old I am, let me put it into perspective for you. I've been going to this place since I was 23. Some of the stalls have changed over the years, but there's one stall that remains steadfast and true to the food. That place Yuton Dumpling House. While the menu is extremely overwhelming, know this...what you order will be made in true Chinese style. No bastardization of the foods here. What Yuton Dumplings is known for is their dumplings. Whether they are boiled or fried, the consistency of their dumplings is what I believe brings everyone back and therefore allows this stall to stay unaffected by economic issues. I LOVE their fried dumplings. The prices have been raised (I used to get 8 dumplings for $3), but not by much. I think they're $5 now. But they are still delicious. Another favorite of mine is the spicy beef soup...lots of beef and lots of noodles. Now, the place itself looks like a dirty cafeteria. It really hasn't changed all these years. But try to overlook this because you would be missing out on some of the best dumplings I've ever had. They come frozen too, a bag of 50 pieces is $12 the last time I purchase them. They're pretty easy to make, but they really don't taste the same as when you buy them at the stall. Check it out!!
(4)J H L.
This is, by far, one of my favorite Chinese restaurants around. Although the dumplings are good, all the other food is wonderful too - very authentic and at reasonable prices. My favorites are the fish with vegetables, the beef chow fun, and all the wonderful Taiwanese breakfast items on the weekends. Well worth a visit (despite the rather plain decor)
(5)Señora K.
Interesting stop, not sure if I would return - just not my thing. Had spicy beef soup as many suggested - it was adequate, but probably different then the 'Americanized' Asian foods we are used to. Overwhelming flavor, in my opinion, maybe Chinese 5 spice? Dumplings were good, but could have used some kind of dipping sauce. Check it out if this interests you at all! It's like a little piece of Asia right out on Chicago :)
(3)Sam K.
This is the best Taiwanese restaurant in the area! Definitely the best soy milk, rice ball, fried dough etc! I only give 4 star because they open too late on Sunday. Should open more around 9:30 than 10 AM. Also like all Chinese restaurant, this place is cash only so make sure to not come strapped of cash!
(4)Danny Y.
Delicious pork chop and an even more delicious beef noodle soup! I've found my go-to place for noodle soup! This place is not only cheaper but better than Katy's up the street. Nevertheless, I hate the international plaza, erego -1 star. Verdict: Most delicious beef noodle soup around, but make sure to bring cash.
(4)Linda V.
They are idiots that should learn the first thing about business, customer is always right... They cannot take orders correctly and blamed it on me when I asked for four soy milks and they have me one. Spent a good 15 mins of my time explaining myself on someone that doesn't understand the first thing about doing business. Good food does not equal good business practices.
(1)Jenny z.
Oh, I've got it bad for their dumplings, really, I'm in their thrall. My husband should feel threatened, they are that good. Lindley showed up for Super Tuesday at CJ's with pork, chicken and some seriously bad ass homemade vegetarian dumplings from Yuton...a dumpling frenzy ensued and they were dispatched before the polls had even closed. The pork were filled with lots of juice/soup, the chicken were delicately flavored and the veggie were packed with vegetables and the skin was just thick enough to be toothsome but not so thick as to be heavy. You know how I feel about the burbs, but dammit all, I'll certainly be making trips out here for my dumpling needs in the future.
(4)Dan K.
I come here at least once a month for lunch and I recently came for breakfast. This is a great place to get some good Chinese food. The beef noodle soup is one of the best in the Chicago suburbs. On the weekends you can get the hand pulled noodles. During the week, the noodles are just regular commercial noodles so it's not as good. They have a variety of lunch specials during lunch, which includes a drink. Cash only, and it's in a food court. There is an ATM on site. Check it out.
(5)Pete B.
just meh. had the spicy beef noodle soup and didn't find it great or anything. don't get me wrong, it was good, but just good. a little too greasy for my liking and at 8 something dollars, a little more expensive than I thought it would be considering that it's in an old, dirty food court in the middle of nowhere. I won't be craving it anytime soon though.

I've been coming to this place ever since I was a kid and always known it as "the soup place". I always considered it to be a hidden gem because I didn't know too many other people who knew about it and, back in the the 90s the majority of the customers seemed to be people from the local Asian community. Today there seems to be a way more diverse customer base. Every time I come here though, it's super packed and there's a huge line for Yu Ton. The prices have also been pretty consistenly low over the years and only now have begun to rise a little bit. From the outside, it looks like a business building with a bank being the only sign in the window. When you walk in, it pretty much looks like an old run down mall with a food court consisting of 4 or 5 places. I don't know how all the food vendors are connected, but it seems Yu Ton runs the two spaces farthest on the right. I haven't tried any other place besides Yu Ton outside of bubble tea and the occasional dessert. Food: They seem to have a lot of authentic Chinese dishes that are really popular with the regulars who come there, but I've never tried them. We've pretty much been getting the exact same order for the last 20 years: triple seafood soup and fried potstickers. The bowls of soup are huge and the potstickers come 8 to an order. When I look around I typically see people order their own bowl of soup and just share an order of potstickers. I guess my family isn't like the typical group who dines here. We're actually the opposite. We share a bowl of soup for the table and each get an order of potstickers haha. Be warned though, the potstickers take a really long time to make, especially when they're busy, so we're always prepared for a long wait. The triple seafood soup is packed with a bunch of different types of seafood and it comes in a nice, lighter colored broth. The noodles are similar to al dente spaghetti noodles. The potstickers are my favorite. They're seared crisp on one edge and filled with with pork and chives. The wrapper has a firmer thickness that makes it easy to dip, and the meat inside is just so hot and juicy. I've tried a lot of the popular dumpling places in Chinatown in NYC and Chicago, and I still say these are the best I've ever had. Bold statement, but it's true. Also, I don't know if it's just me but for some reason I think there's something special about their soy sauce. If it was truly just regular Kikkoman wouldn't they just have a big container of it? Instead it comes in a generic tin container that you can ladle into small cups. I swear there's crack in it, it's so damn good with the potstickers haha. Oh yea, also it's cash only. Pro tip: You can actually buy a pack of frozen potstickers, which are the exact same ones they serve. It comes in a pack of 50 for like $20. Not a bad deal at all to be able to fry up some potstickers at home. Been doin this for years and it tastes pretty close, minus the magical soy sauce of course.

You can eat authentic traditional chinese breakfast here! Fried dough sticks, soy milk and beef noodles are my favorite. Foods are yummy but don't overeat. A lesson learned by me today is that fried dough sticks are sold by pairs, so one is actually two! I didn't know that and ordered 5 pairs which are too much for 2 people :( The only thing I don't like here is only cash accepted. Luckily I have some cash in my wallet today (usually I don't carry much cash) so I can order my food.
