Lao Sze Chuan (Downtown)

I've been there a few times in the past, but it's been a while since I last visited. 13:00 on weekdays. The large store was empty. Ordered Xiao Long Bao, Singapore Noodles, and Wonton Soup. As an appetizer, a slightly spicy cabbage dish (is this an appetizer?) came out. All the dishes are delicious but bland. Especially the wonton soup is not very thick. The xiaolongbao was not so hot that I could easily eat it. Singapore noodles have a light taste, are not spicy, and are refreshing, so they were delicious. What's disappointing is the service. Many of the plates were missing the edges. The staff who took the order was nice, but the staff who brought the food didn't bring another plate to take the xiao long bao unless I told them to, or they just took the leftover appetizers without asking. It was lowered.

Hmmmm. This place came highly recommended. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience. The tea tasted like dirty socks and fish oil, the service was super slow to non existent. No one stopped at our table after our food arrived to check in with the first bites. Our server finally came back, long after we finished eating, to give us our bill. The food taste was average and overpriced. Note: Rice is not included with an entree. Our orange beef was served cold. There were 3 of us at our table. We are experienced Chinese food people having lived in Asia for over 5 years and have traveled throughout China. On the positive side, the atmosphere is nice and it is centrally located on Michigan Avenue.

Didnt expect the Chefs Special Dry Chili Chicken to be bad. How come the chicken and chili are so soft instead of crispy? Beef Noodles are made with cheap grocery store noodles. Shame.
