Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

Hours are published for 6 days a week. Typical hours are 11 am–9 pm. Note that it does not open on Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (773) 966-6815. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is yaoscafe.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.5 out of 5 on Google across 170 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded chinese restaurants in Chicago.

Chicago is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Chicago follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

It was one of my fav Chinese spots food was fresh service was great but it seems the more frequent I go both food and service decline. Ive gotten a brunt egg roll before, hard old rice & a recent separate meal not one sauce packect. I'll just take my losses and shop else where. I get the hint.

I’m surprised this place doesn’t have 5 stars. The food is phenomenal, fast, authentic, and well priced. The restaurant was clean, cute, and inviting. Definitely a little hidden gem! I wish I lived here because I would be a regular, but sadly I’m visiting from Florida where the Chinese food does not compare to this experience. So glad I stopped in!

This cafΓ© honestly deserves way more than just five stars 🌟πŸ”₯. Every single time I visit, the service goes above and beyond what you’d expect β€” the staff are always friendly, attentive, and make you feel truly welcome 😊. It’s rare to find a place that’s this consistent! On top of that, the drinks are amazing and the food is absolutely delicious 🀀🍽️. Everything tastes fresh and full of flavor, making each visit even better than the last. This spot definitely stands out, and I’ll keep coming back without a doubt ❀️

I've ordered a few times using UberEats. So glad they are near enough because I have enjoyed every meal I've gotten so far! I sometimes want vegetarian (tofu) food, & theirs is delicious! I love the smoothies (especially when it's BOGO). They make their steamed edemame just the way I like. Honestly, I hope to keep having great meals from them because other Chinese restaurants near me have become more disappointing as the years go by. ❀️

Super friendly service. Very clean restaurant. Delicious food. Fresh smoothies and the citron tea was great. The walnut shrimp was amazing! My fiancΓ© and I both gasped like we were in a commercial when we bit into the egg rolls. They were phenomenal.
