Hing Kee hosts an awesome annual lunar new year event with fun activities and a plethora of food for guests. I was lucky to attend this year and try a lot of their menu at a great price!The restaurant was packed and very festive for the holiday- there was even a lion dance group who performed wonderfully in the restaurant! Staff and hosts were very welcoming and gave a small presentation about the history of lunar new year.The menu was served family style and included fried egg rolls, sweet corn & seafood soup, and veggie/pork steamed dumplings. The pork dumplings were definitely my favorite! The egg rolls were massive and piping hot with an interesting spice that I did not expect. I did find the soup to be a bit bland, however.For the entrees, we were served heaping plates of dry chili chicken, salt & pepper fish filet, honey walnut shrimp, beef with string beans, bok choy in garlic sauce, chow mein noodles, and shrimp/pork fried rice. Although deep fried, the salt & pepper fish was incredibly crispy, light and fresh- I highly recommend this dish! I also really enjoyed the honey walnut shrimp, which was crispy and not too heavy on the sweet sauce. The beef entree was super tender with an excellent flavor, complemented well by the perfectly crunchy string beans. The dry chili chicken was well cooked but not at all spicy, and I found myself wishing for the signature numbing spice. The chow mein and fried rice were also well cooked but a bit forgettable compared to the other entrees. Dessert was a dish of ultra soft glutinous rice balls filled with sesame and served in a warm ginger soup. This may have been my favorite dish of the night! It was warm, comforting, and a perfect light end to the meal.I had a great experience at Hing Kee and will definitely return, especially to try the xiao long bao!

This is an ok sit down place if you want a fast meal but there are better options in Chinatown. Quality- the soup dumplings were already popped and didn't contain any soup. The skin was also too thick and filling is too little. The fried rice was ok. Quantity- ok amount for price but overall I'd say the soup dumplings are not worth it for the price. Atmosphere- not packed at all. Welcoming shop. Service- pretty fast

I'm between 3 and 4 for this :( Hing Kee used to be one of my favorites, but it just feels so different than what it was in the past. Gone are the days of the man pulling noodles in the window, but I suppose there's a new sushi bar. That being said, it's still solid food and at great prices (for today's economy). Service is hit-or-miss (as seen in other reviews), as the workers we had didn't really seem to want to be there. For example, when we got our food, the lady muttered the wrong dish name to us, and we accidentally assigned the wrong orders within our party.Food quality is still good but not as great. As seen in the photo, most of the meat I got was fat - and the parts that weren't fat were really overcooked so it was very tough. The broth for the spicy garlic beef soup was not bad but was imbalanced in a way I can't really describe. So not bad but enough to be like, this could be so much better, if that makes sense.The XLB is pretty good - some of them stuck to the lettuce so they leaked out prematurely but overall, a great choice for any order.Overall, Hing Kee is still a safe go-to, but we're going to try somewhere new on our next visit.

We stumbled upon Hing Kee after walking around. The spot was busy, so we decided to try it. We ordered the crab and pork Xiao long bao, Szechuan chicken + onion and dry chili beef. Service was quick and the food was alright. The soup dumplings were rich. The Szechuan chicken felt like a plate of onions with a side of chicken but had nice taste. The chicken felt a little too soft.. The dry chili beef too had nice flavor but felt a little limp though it looked crispy. Staff was almost too attentive, I.e. we paid and signed the receipt, and 2 seconds later she was already there collecting it. Overall fine experience.

Overall, the food was OK. The vegetable dumplings were delicious, but they were out of a lot of the sauces which I think was the one thing that was missing for me. I love the crab ragoons. I did not like the chow mein that much because it was pretty much all noodles with little vegetables. I have plenty of leftovers and decided that I was gonna take it home and doctored it up, which I don't always think is the best thing to do at restaurants.

Came here twice, had a handful of different things on the menu each time and my verdict is food and service is ok. Cleanliness of the place needs some attention, but if you are hungry and don't want to wait long it's an ok choice.

A great no-frills authentic spot for soup dumplings and expanded Asian cuisine. They literally have such a large menu, though they are known to specialize in a certain region of food. We came for their specialty- the soup dumplings. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) that we got had the pork and crab in it and were wonderfully delicious and flavorful. We also got the schezuan green beans in a tasty pork sauce that was recommended by the waiter, and this was a nice side dish with rice. Such an affordable meal too!

Xiao long bao (soup dumplings) were great--definitely recommend. Service is on the slower side; staff are cordial at best. Atmosphere isn't the best (loud, could be cleaner). Solid for the xiao long bao, but I'm not sure I would go again.

Ever been to Chinatown Chicago? and If you're looking for a delicious place to have dinner. You'll know that some of the best food in the city can be found there! On a recent visit, my friends and I stumbled upon Hing Kee. Featuring an impressive selection of Chinese dishes ranging from potstickers and soup dumplings to fried rice and noodle bowls, I was more than impressed with my visit there recently. After taking a seat at this cozy little restaurant on the corner of Wentworth and Archer Avenues, I knew that I had made the right choice! Little did we know that this small little gem was about to have us craving its flavors for days after - every single bite of their signature pork and cabbage dumplings were as tasty as they come! And let me tell you - these dumplings were definitely worth all the hype, my taste buds were absolutely delighted by every bite of these delicious treats. From the moment I stepped into the restaurant until my final bite of scrumptious dumplings - everything was pure bliss. Whether you're a new with chinese food or relatively connoisseur like me - if you ever find yourself in Chicago be sure to check out Hing Kee for some tasty dishes that won't disappoint! is definitely one place that should not be missed!

I lost my bag at Hing Kee and the manager paid to mail it back to me free of charge. If that doesn't say enough about the customer service of this restaurant, I don't know what will. We ordered soup dumplings, the cumin lamb, and the house fried rice, and all were delicious. We also ordered the sesame chicken, but I wouldn't recommend it because the orange flavor was too strong. We sat outside and the ambiance was nice. Even though they were busy, our food arrived relatively quickly. In all, I was completely blown away by Hing Kee because of their generosity and delicious food.
