Where To Eat In Uptown - Chicago - The Infatuation

"YooYee’s Sichuan-style dishes are an exciting, fiery addition to the neighborhood. Anything involving the signature tingly peppercorns is a hit, whether it’s a refreshing smashed cucumber salad, sweet and nutty dandan noodles, or a bubbling green broth with tender fish filet that flakes apart at the sight of a chopstick. Some sweating may occur, but the bright space has enough calming piano renditions of Miyazaki movie scores to make it feel more like a relaxing sauna experience. And if you prefer dishes the Scoville scale doesn't know about, the sweet-skinned duck and braised beef soup with chewy hand-pulled noodles are equally excellent." - adrian kane, courtney sprewer, veda kilaru, john ringor
