MCCB Chicago

Holy moly this place is amazing. Tiny and amazing. The wonton soup was delightfully clean and flavorful, and the flank steak with spicy garlic sauce was an abolute killer. Not actually very spicy, but the flavor was some of the best I've had.

My wife and I had Saturday lunch at MCCB and we were honestly so glad we came a little early. We were lucky to get seated right away because if we had arrived 30 minutes later, we definitely would’ve had to wait because the place filled up fast. That alone says a lot about how popular it is! The staff were very friendly, attentive and really knew how to take care of their customers. They checked on us at the right time without being intrusive and made the whole dining experience smooth and enjoyable. For food, everything was impressive. We started with the beef shu mai as an appetizer and it was fantastic. The filling was juicy, well-seasoned and packed with flavor. It had a real kick to it properly spicy, not just a hint which we absolutely loved. You can tell it’s freshly made and not rushed. The traditional fried rice was lit. It had that perfect wok hei (that smoky, slightly charred flavor from high-heat cooking), with well-balanced seasoning and generous ingredients mixed throughout. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying and not greasy, just done right. Our main dish was the honey black pepper flank steak and it did not disappoint. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly, coated in a rich sauce that balanced sweetness from the honey and bold heat from the black pepper. The flavors were layered and bold without overpowering the meat itself. Definitely a standout dish. We also ordered the traditional chow mein to go. It was okay decent and satisfying but compared to everything else we had, it was just average. Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely come back again to try more dishes. Highly recommend coming a bit earlier during peak hours!

Update: Went back there and had another great experience. Melt in your mouth beef, delicious fish, and had to get the dry chili chicken. Original review: Probably the best Chinese food I’ve had in Chicago area. Really enjoyed their dry chili chicken, kung pao chicken and beef with black pepper. Amazing flavors, excellent service.

Amazing food. I loved the dried chili chicken (if you are not used to spice talk to waiter about less spice) the duck in beer sauce was fantastic, the duck was very tender. The green beans were the topper. Highly recommend

Every time I have been to MCCB has been great. We did have a short wait of about 10 minutes but it was more than worth it. The food was AMAZING . So flavorful. We loved every dish we got and left full and happy. Service was also great they made sure we were happy with our choices. Food came out extremely HOT. I would highly recommend
