Beautiful patio setting with impeccable service and delicious food. The lobster dumplings were flavorful , the hot & sour soup perfectly balanced. The 1/2 duck was plenty for 2 of us to share with a second dish of scallops with black truffles. The mango pudding was more like a panna cotta, tart and light. The final touch was small almond cookies that ended the meal perfectly. We will be back on our next Chicago trip.

Gorgeous food in a lovely ambience outside on the terrace. Attentive friendly service and great wines. Second time here (first was 15 years ago) and it was as good this time as it was then! Cannot speak highly enough of the overall experience.

The staff were wonderful and the atmosphere quite nice. My favorite part of the meal was dessert. It was one of the best I’ve ever had. A mango tapioca with coconut cream. Glad we ended on that dish. The pork dim sum, veggie stir fry, and beef tenderloin were very good. We had an appetizer with puffed rice (messy) that we wouldn’t recommend. The tofu was rather hard and it seemed like there was an element missing, maybe a sauce, that could have brought the flavors together. I’m glad we tried it.
