I grew up in Hong Kong and cafes (cha chaan teng) like My Place have a very special place in my heart. There are seemingly not many places like this in Chicago anymore, especially after the pandemic. Certainly even fewer that hit the intersection of fast service, affordable prices, and most importantly, delicious food. In my opinion, My Place fulfills all those criteria. While it's not quite in Chinatown, I really like their location especially the free parking in the back.This restaurant has excellent specials with breakfast from 11-2 and then afternoon tea from 2-5. For one price, you can get a full-sized meal plus a drink! Some of the entrees I really like are the Portuguese Chicken baked rice and the Satay Beef noodle soup. My favorite drink is their Hong Kong milk tea which is probably some of the silkiest and most authentic I've had in Chicago. The best part? These specials are available on weekends.Service is going to be as-expected for a Hong Kong cafe; you have to get the staff's attention or else they're just going to walk right past you. Once you get tell them what you need, they'll take care of it really efficiently. You know I'll be back soon.Food: 4.5/5Service: 4/5Price: 4.75/5Ambiance: 4.25/5Overall: 4.5/5

The perfect Hong Kong-style cafe with huge tables! This place was absolutely packed on a Sunday lunch around 2pm. We were able to fit 12-15 people! Their menu is such a great deal, especially for breakfast and afternoon tea sets that come with a drink. The service was efficient despite our huge table.Shredded chicken and corn with baked spaghetti ($8.95) 4/5 - creamy yet light at the same time! A generous portion of shredded chicken baked with cheese on top! I always love any baked dish from an HK style cafe. This could've used a bit more flavor though!Ovaltine drink 5/5 - comes with the set menu! Such a nostalgic drink! Hot is included, but you can pay an extra $1.50 to have it served cold.

So, it is back! Chicago's staple Chinese/cantonese food place. This place is finally back near Chinatown with the OG staff from 2018 and most importantly, the FLAVOR is back!!!! This place kept me fed during my young professional days (2014-2018), thus it is an extremely special place to my wife and me. With all this said, yes, I had to try when they had a "soft" opening, had great experience, and I went back again a week after to confirm that the food quality is indeed consistent. Five stars from me, and probably from 30+ other Asian folks who were at this cozy restaurant. A lot of typical dishes in the menu, but the lack of flavor from their Wabash location is no longer the case. The only difference from 2018? Increase in price which I will blame the inflation, not the restaurant!

This place used to be in Chinatown a few years ago and relocated to downtown. This is the first time we visited since then. They have specials for morning and afternoon. I had wonton noodle which came in 5 wonton and noodle with a hot drink for $8.95. They have other selections better than what I chose. We also had steamed oysters and they are dinner menu for $8 each. Oysters were great! The place is pretty busy as well. When you see a lot of Chinese that tells you the place is good. Can't go wrong.

If your looking for Hong Kong style breakfast this is the place to go! They offer free parking but not a lot of spots. It was packed when we went but we got seated pretty quick. Restaurant was nicely decorated with pictures of HongKong. Great friendly staff. I ordered Fish Ball Noodle soup and Ham and Macaroni soup. Both broth were very tasty , felt like I was in HK. As for the drink I ordered Hong Kong style Milk tea and Ice Lemon tea both fantastic. The only thing I was not a fan of is how the food came out. First they would come out with one dish 5 mins later and so on but other then that great experience. So much more I want to try , I'll definitely be back.

Small restaurant located outside of Chinatown. They have a breakfast menu and an afternoon tea menu which they priced generously. You get a dish and a drink for $9. Service was okay. Food was okay. I got the duck noodles soup. Broth was pretty good. The Hong Kong milk tea was okay. I would get this combo again.

This used to be my husband and my favorite Chinese restaurant when it was in Chinatown. During Covid, they were priced out of their location and moved to Wabash. At first it was okay, but then it progressively got worse. Finally they moved back to the Chinatown area and seem to have their old staff back? They just opened a couple weeks ago. Everything was just as I remember. We have been there twice now. The first time we ordered the salt and pepper shrimp, garlic pea tips, hand shredded chicken, and fish filet with chili pepper. The salt and pepper shrimp was EXCELLENT. Perfect fried and flavored. The garlic pea tips were also good. Fresh and well flavored. However, it did lack the wok flavor of the original location; hoping it will come back in time. The hand shredded chicken was also good. The fish filet was decent, but could use the ground szcechuan pepper flakes it used to have (and is quite frankly featured on the menu picture).We went back today and it was the same excellent quality. We ordered the deep fried quail, cumin lamb, and salt and pepper squid. The deep fried quail was fried nicely. Though I did as for a salt and pepper dip (which they used to do) instead of the duck sauce that they now serve it with. The cumin lamb was excellent. The pieces of lamb were thick and juicy and had the perfect amount of fresh red onions, green onions, and cilantro; very good spice combo. The salt and pepper shrimp was also excellent. Same level of quality as the shrimp from the first time we went. Service is typical of Chinese restaurants. Don't expect fine dining but they are friendly. They were extremely busy but responded fast when you called them over. The ambiance was of a typical Chinese restaurant. Simple. But not hole in the wall.

Great setup indoor and outdoor with great deals on unique cantonese food! Price $12 including meal, tip, and drink. | Rating 9/10 Pros: Unique dishes, Low price, good drinks.Cons: None.Girlfriend brought me here for "Tea Time" and we decided to sit outside. The whole places feels lovingly designed with a modern feeling but also quaint things like lazy susan and plants on the rails. Service is basic and that is perfect for me. Staff will take your order, refill your drinks, and leave you in peace until you want a bill.The food and its price was the true winner! For $9 you get a large rice or noodle meal with a drink! The dishes are not basic Ameri-Chinese food either. The Portuguese Chicken baked rice was one most different and delicious things I have tried with a mild spiced curry on top, plenty of protein, and a side of toast and egg! Incredible deal under $10.Highly recommend this place on any of their special dining meals and I bet their standard meals are worthwhile too!

The afternoon tea set come with a cup of drink. Ask for conference milk and add it to the toast, this is my favourite way to eat French toast!
