The Best New Restaurants in Chicago | Eater Chicago
"Chicago is no stranger to Sichuan cuisine, but YooYee, a small Chinese restaurant in Uptown, raises the bar. The menu is thoughtfully formatted with a key showing customers what dishes are vegetarian, gluten-free, or spicy. You’ll want to fixate on the noodle dishes, made on premises. Not everything is coated with Sichuan pepper, but dishes like dry-chili popcorn chicken will give you plenty of mala. There are also Chinese American standards. Be prepared to wait 30 to 45 minutes during peak times. YooYee is an exciting opening near Asia on Argyle. This is a great spot to bring vegetarians, also. We’re still thinking about the veggie lo mein, a simple dish that’s expertly executed." - Ashok Selvam
