Yee's Cantonese Kitchen（阿二美食） — Restaurant in Chicago

Highly recommend, I appreciate the representation that I can't find in Chinatown.

I do prefer to call and pick up the food though. During busy times, it can be stressful for everyone. We had a few troublesome customers requesting the manager to "kick us and swap our tables with them". Thankfully the manager defended us and allowed my table to...
