Myplace was the place to be back in 2015-2017. Everyone remembers when it was located in Chinatown square. Then it got moved to Wabash and now it's back in the Chinatown area. This time, it comes with free parking in the back! Myplace has a unique breakfast menu, lunch menu, and regular menu items. I enjoy the breakfast menu because it comes with a drink. I like to come here when I just want a simple meal. No frills, no extras, just simple food. Myplace has a lot of the traditional hk style food items like French toast, beef brisket noodle, lemon tea, etc. I would say that Myplace is friendly for all ages! Whether you're meeting up with friends or having a quick bite, Myplace is the place to be. For food, the noodle never disappoints. It's flavorful and good portion size. A popular item would be the beef brisket rice noodle! It warms you up on a cold day. I also like getting the iced lemon tea! So good! When I went with my friend the other day, we got beef chow fun, curry beef over rice, and fried mantou. We were so full by the end of the meal!

Ambiance - mid level noise restaurant filled with families and couples looking for a light and fast lunch Service - it was super packed on a Monday for lunch, felt like I had to fight for servers attention Food - 10/10, generous potion of shredded duck and the hor fun was cooked to how I like, soup was also steaming hot! Their milk tea is my absolute go to!

Delicious food and excellent services. I've dined in and ordered carry out. Both methods were good.

My Place was a charming Chinese restaurant I stumbled upon just a couple of blocks from Chinatown. Their extensive menu offers a wide variety of options to please everyone in your group. The bustling atmosphere, with all the tables filled, speaks volumes about the restaurant's popularity. We ordered the Beef Brisket and Vegetables over rice, along with a Ginger Beef dish. The portion sizes were generous for the price, although the Beef Brisket was a bit on the fatty side. The service was average; we were in a hurry, so it felt a bit slower than we'd hoped. I definitely plan to revisit My Place to explore more of their enticing menu options!

I grew up in Hong Kong and cafes (cha chaan teng) like My Place have a very special place in my heart. There are seemingly not many places like this in Chicago anymore, especially after the pandemic. Certainly even fewer that hit the intersection of fast service, affordable prices, and most importantly, delicious food. In my opinion, My Place fulfills all those criteria. While it's not quite in Chinatown, I really like their location especially the free parking in the back. This restaurant has excellent specials with breakfast from 11-2 and then afternoon tea from 2-5. For one price, you can get a full-sized meal plus a drink! Some of the entrees I really like are the Portuguese Chicken baked rice and the Satay Beef noodle soup. My favorite drink is their Hong Kong milk tea which is probably some of the silkiest and most authentic I've had in Chicago. The best part? These specials are available on weekends. Service is going to be as-expected for a Hong Kong cafe; you have to get the staff's attention or else they're just going to walk right past you. Once you get tell them what you need, they'll take care of it really efficiently. You know I'll be back soon. Food: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 4.75/5 Ambiance: 4.25/5 Overall: 4.5/5

So, it is back! Chicago's staple Chinese/cantonese food place. This place is finally back near Chinatown with the OG staff from 2018 and most importantly, the FLAVOR is back!!!! This place kept me fed during my young professional days (2014-2018), thus it is an extremely special place to my wife and me. With all this said, yes, I had to try when they had a "soft" opening, had great experience, and I went back again a week after to confirm that the food quality is indeed consistent. Five stars from me, and probably from 30+ other Asian folks who were at this cozy restaurant. A lot of typical dishes in the menu, but the lack of flavor from their Wabash location is no longer the case. The only difference from 2018? Increase in price which I will blame the inflation, not the restaurant!

The restaurant is bigger than it looks outside. Part of their menu is like the Hong Kong cafes with milk tea, congee, noodles, etc. There are 2-3 large round tables with lazy susans that can fit 10 people like the traditional Chinese restaurants. At their new location on State street, there is a parking lot behind the restaurant or paid street parking outside which is convenient. I came for their afternoon (2pm-5pm) menu which is a bargain. The set menu comes with a drink, toast, scrambled eggs, and an entrée. The portion was definitely dinner size portions. Their milk tea taste very authentic. The Portugese rice curry sauce taste OK. It is Chinese curry which is less sweet. This dish traditionally requires baking as the less step for the rice to soak in the curry sauce, but it felt like they just poured the curry on top. It is OK for a quick bite, but less of a showcase place. If I find the time, I'll try their breakfast menu next time.

If your looking for Hong Kong style breakfast this is the place to go! They offer free parking but not a lot of spots. It was packed when we went but we got seated pretty quick. Restaurant was nicely decorated with pictures of HongKong. Great friendly staff. I ordered Fish Ball Noodle soup and Ham and Macaroni soup. Both broth were very tasty , felt like I was in HK. As for the drink I ordered Hong Kong style Milk tea and Ice Lemon tea both fantastic. The only thing I was not a fan of is how the food came out. First they would come out with one dish 5 mins later and so on but other then that great experience. So much more I want to try , I'll definitely be back.

The perfect Hong Kong-style cafe with huge tables! This place was absolutely packed on a Sunday lunch around 2pm. We were able to fit 12-15 people! Their menu is such a great deal, especially for breakfast and afternoon tea sets that come with a drink. The service was efficient despite our huge table. Shredded chicken and corn with baked spaghetti ($8.95) 4/5 - creamy yet light at the same time! A generous portion of shredded chicken baked with cheese on top! I always love any baked dish from an HK style cafe. This could've used a bit more flavor though! Ovaltine drink 5/5 - comes with the set menu! Such a nostalgic drink! Hot is included, but you can pay an extra $1.50 to have it served cold.

Super authentic and cheap!!! The brunch specials are a Catch. Will be returning as it is a very popular spot.

Small restaurant located outside of Chinatown. They have a breakfast menu and an afternoon tea menu which they priced generously. You get a dish and a drink for $9. Service was okay. Food was okay. I got the duck noodles soup. Broth was pretty good. The Hong Kong milk tea was okay. I would get this combo again.

This used to be my husband and my favorite Chinese restaurant when it was in Chinatown. During Covid, they were priced out of their location and moved to Wabash. At first it was okay, but then it progressively got worse. Finally they moved back to the Chinatown area and seem to have their old staff back? They just opened a couple weeks ago. Everything was just as I remember. We have been there twice now. The first time we ordered the salt and pepper shrimp, garlic pea tips, hand shredded chicken, and fish filet with chili pepper. The salt and pepper shrimp was EXCELLENT. Perfect fried and flavored. The garlic pea tips were also good. Fresh and well flavored. However, it did lack the wok flavor of the original location; hoping it will come back in time. The hand shredded chicken was also good. The fish filet was decent, but could use the ground szcechuan pepper flakes it used to have (and is quite frankly featured on the menu picture). We went back today and it was the same excellent quality. We ordered the deep fried quail, cumin lamb, and salt and pepper squid. The deep fried quail was fried nicely. Though I did as for a salt and pepper dip (which they used to do) instead of the duck sauce that they now serve it with. The cumin lamb was excellent. The pieces of lamb were thick and juicy and had the perfect amount of fresh red onions, green onions, and cilantro; very good spice combo. The salt and pepper shrimp was also excellent. Same level of quality as the shrimp from the first time we went. Service is typical of Chinese restaurants. Don't expect fine dining but they are friendly. They were extremely busy but responded fast when you called them over. The ambiance was of a typical Chinese restaurant. Simple. But not hole in the wall.

This place used to be in Chinatown a few years ago and relocated to downtown. This is the first time we visited since then. They have specials for morning and afternoon. I had wonton noodle which came in 5 wonton and noodle with a hot drink for $8.95. They have other selections better than what I chose. We also had steamed oysters and they are dinner menu for $8 each. Oysters were great! The place is pretty busy as well. When you see a lot of Chinese that tells you the place is good. Can't go wrong.

One side of my family is from Hong Kong, and they were craving some authentic Hong Kong-style food. MyPlace exceeded our expectations! It's an excellent place to meet people who miss HK or have been there. The dining room is vibrant, energetic, and loud and similar service to HK cafes. My family love the lunch deals--beef noodle soup and coffee are our go-to--and the afternoon tea specials are fantastic too. The lobster specials are another highlight, offering high quality at a great value. Plus, the free parking in the back is a huge bonus. Watch out - it fills up quickly for lunch. What really makes MyPlace stand out is the crowd. The restaurant is always packed with Chinese patrons, creating a great environment for my family to connect with fellow diners. While they do offer Americanized Cantonese food like orange chicken and crab rangoon, the real draw here is the authentic Hong Kong flavors. I've been to MyPlace when it was in Chinatown and the 2nd version on Wabash, but this version might just be the best yet. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a taste of Hong Kong!

Haven't been to my place since they moved from Chicago Chinatown to Wabash and don't think I will visit again. When we first arrived there was no greeting. Not very friendly. We got the afternoon tea special for $8.95 and not very good. Both of our drinks Yin Yang (coffee and tea) and lemon honey smelled bad. My hubby ordered the beef brisket noodle soup and it was so little and not great. I ordered the satay beef vermicelli and it was tasteless and noodles were mushy. Overall I was super disappointed and I probably won't be over back again.

The afternoon tea set come with a cup of drink. Ask for conference milk and add it to the toast, this is my favourite way to eat French toast!

My buds and I recently dined at My Place. Well, not "my place" since I don't cook whatsoever but a Chinese restaurant called My Place. This place called My Place was formerly in Chinatown Square but is now in the South Loop. It's a fairly large establishment with full bar and a seafood tank, but when we came to eat on a late Saturday afternoon it was not too crowded. Wall decor gives you the impression that you are dining in Hong Kong. We each went with an "afternoon tea special" which includes main course and a beverage. Two of us ordered the pan fried rice noodles with beef, and I chose the lemon tea. We also ordered roasted duck rice noodles in a soup, and pan fried pot stickers. The Cantonese dishes are very straightforward and satisfied our craving for Asian food. The service is decent, and the prices and portion sizes are reasonable.

Loved this spot! Super authentic food, and a great selection. Wait time was a bit long, but everything tasted super fresh. I'll always have a special spot in my heart for walnut shrimp. The chicken was super moist and tender. The crab curry was spectacular (a bit messy but they gave us gloves).

I noticed that a piece of rice in my order had legs. Called to talk to management, which was extremely rude and disrespectful

Great setup indoor and outdoor with great deals on unique cantonese food! Price $12 including meal, tip, and drink. | Rating 9/10 Pros: Unique dishes, Low price, good drinks. Cons: None. Girlfriend brought me here for "Tea Time" and we decided to sit outside. The whole places feels lovingly designed with a modern feeling but also quaint things like lazy susan and plants on the rails. Service is basic and that is perfect for me. Staff will take your order, refill your drinks, and leave you in peace until you want a bill. The food and its price was the true winner! For $9 you get a large rice or noodle meal with a drink! The dishes are not basic Ameri-Chinese food either. The Portuguese Chicken baked rice was one most different and delicious things I have tried with a mild spiced curry on top, plenty of protein, and a side of toast and egg! Incredible deal under $10. Highly recommend this place on any of their special dining meals and I bet their standard meals are worthwhile too!

My Place is a great affordable option for authentic Chinese food in South Loop. They have huge serving sizes and a great variety of items on their menu. However, I am giving them 3 stars because the quality of their food ordered for delivery isn't always consistent. I ordered Shrimp Wonton Noodle Soup today and there was a receipt for my order inside the container with my noodles.

I've only had their lunch specials here but I'd recommend trying their shredded roasted duck with fried rice or beef brisket noodle soup. The broth is light and I'd consider it bland but my friends from Hong Kong did enjoy it a lot. Their fried rice was really flavorful and peppery. And honestly it's quite hard to beat a small entree with a drink for under $9

Pretty decent Chinese food. Wasn't much chicken in my order so I probably wouldn't go back but the flavor was pretty good. Seems like a pretty nice place to have a lunch with friends, and the service was pretty good.

Food wasn't as good as back in the Chinatown days. The portion got smaller and the flavor is not there anymore plus the food is not cooked all the way.

Small restaurant located outside of Chinatown. They have a breakfast menu and an afternoon tea menu which they priced generously. You get a dish and a drink for $9. Service was okay. Food was okay. The Hong Kong milk tea was okay. I would get this combo again.

Good food at good price. They recently moved out from the Wabash location. Still find out where's the new location, though...

Great food awesome cocktails and is nice and quiet to have a good conversation. The price is ok as well.

Great friendly service. I met two colleagues for dinner and the dishes we ordered came out quickly and were hot and fresh. Loved the texture of the lo mein noodles here. Will definitely come back. We also ordered egg rolls which were tasty.

Average Chinese food. I've ordered from My Place a couple of times now and each time my experience has just been okay. The food is decent, but nothing spectacular. My go-to Chinese restaurant is Ming Hin, but they're somewhat expensive and the portion size is on the smaller side so I'm always open to trying other Chinese restaurants not far from my neighborhood. That how I ended up checking out My Place. They offer $12 combos which include chicken friend rice, egg roll and a main entree which is fairly reasonable. The first time we ordered the pepper streak, beef with broccoli and orange chicken. My sister loved the pepper steak so she ordered it again the second time we placed an order. I didn't care for the orange chicken and the beef with broccoli was just okay. The rice didn't have much flavor, but adding soy sauce helped a lot. The egg rolls were good and probably our favorite part of the meal. My sister also ordered Egg Drop soup, dI can't recall if she enjoyed it or not. The second time we ordered pepper steak, sweet n sour chicken and Mongolian beef. This time around we weren't that impressed with the food. There seemed to be less meat and more rice. The sweet n sour chicken wasn't good. The breaded chicken was drowned in sauce so it was really soggy. The Mongolian beef was good and I appreciated the fact that they didn't drown it in onions. Again, my sis loved the Pepper Steak and we both enjoyed the egg rolls. My sister likes My Place more I do. It's okay for the price, but not really that great. In the future I'll probably spend a little extra money and order from Ming Hin. Update - We ordered from My Place for the last time yesterday. If you order the combo they'll really just serve a styrofoam container full of rice with a sliver of meat. When you truly examine the portion size you're receiving it's easy to recognize that you're not getting much value for your money. You're basically paying $12 for a box of rice!

We went for the Hong Kong street food section of the menu, which was a delicious Good value. Fish slices over baked rice was excellent. Chicken over baked rice in Portuguese sauce was delicious.

I had never been to the My Place location that was previously located in Chinatown but I just visited the My Place location in South Loop and was pleasantly surprised. I chatted with the man next to me and he had mentioned this was a childhood favorite for many of his friends and they're extremely excited My Place is back in business. Please note their operating hours in the South Loop: Mon-Thurs: 11am-10pm Fri-Sat: 11am-11pm Sun: 11am-10pm Delivery hours: 11am to 10pm website: https://www.myplacesouthloop.com/menus In terms of decor, the place is unchanged from when Lobo Rey was here. They maintained the same areas (including the bar), tables and chairs. They did add some nice wall decor but other than that the set up looks very similar to Lobo Rey. The menu here is extensive. I've uploaded the pictures from their to go menu as well as their lunch and afternoon specials. Prices here for most entree dishes are $11.95 to $13.95. Seafood dishes are priced higher. They have great specials (I think only offered to eat-in patrons): lunch special: 11am-2pm- $6.95 to $7.95 & includes drink afternoon special: 2pm-5pm- $7.95 & includes drink They also have combo box meals which include an entree with fried rice and an egg roll for $9.95 (all day deal?). I ate here on a Thursday late afternoon around 4:30pm and was surprised to see 7 tables already seated with diners. The afternoon special looked good but I wanted something more filling so I ordered the singapore rice noodles and the stir fried string beans. Both smelled and tasted delicious. Neither dish was greasy. Their online menu says the string beans were hot and spicy but they were mildly spicy (if that!). They arrived at my table extremely quick too--about 5-7 minutes! Service was also good. If you want the authentic Chinese food dishes and flavors without having to travel to Chinatown, then this definitely is the go-to place. Check them out!

A quick review for a quick lunch. We dropped in on Saturday and they're still soft opening, but the place was more than half full and filling quickly. The wait staff definitely have some kinks to work out and our "quick" lunch was a bit longer than expected. That being said, food was tasty and an exceptional value. Mongolian beef was not spicy, but I'll know to ask for more next time. Other dishes coming out looked great - especially the wings and seafood plates. For now, you need to advocate for yourself (to get your order taken, to get more water, to pay the bill), but everyone is friendly and a bit apologetic which is really understandable. If you visited here when it was the Mexican place, decor and layout haven't changed, but no more blaring music and now there are actual patrons inside! Welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Good food with various menu. They have beautiful bar and good decorating and I enjoy it! Chef can cook very well and high experience cooking skills.

Best crab Rangoon I've ever had. They have fresh fruit smoothies that are delicious also.

The convenience of this spot is a hit for me! It's so close to our condo. You can easily order via the yelp app and pick up within 15 minutes. They have a great deal with a dish, fried rice, and an egg roll for about $10. My husband and I ordered in for dinner last night, I got the Mongolian beef and he got the orange chicken. I was not a fan of the egg roll, mine sort of had a fishy taste to it. My husband didn't seem to smell/taste it, I am pregnant so I chalked it up to that. I did enjoy my beef and rice though! Another hit for me is that they have boba! My favorite is Tato milk tea and they for sure have that!

disgusting. meat was chewy and the manager had a BAD bad attitude. instead of him maybe helping us he was trying to tell US different from what we saw. if a stew has any meat its suppose to be cooked throughly & he claimed it was beef tenderloin "the beef is suppose to be chewy" *eye roll from him*. and then we had crab ragoon..it was JUST onions and cream cheese. seriously?! smh.

Happened here because Flo & Santos across the street had a long wait. Seated right away, order taken right away, food came out quick and hot, super friendly service. Will come back next time we're in town.

Starting the day right with a delivery of a yummilicious bowl of shredded duck noodles and yuan yang 鸳鸯（Hong Kong milk coffee + tea) by My Place. So good.

Coming back from a vacation of fried, heavy food, this was our decided stop. There's something about Chinese food that's comforting and good. We ordered 5 meal deals where you also get a drink that comes with it. Ovaltine, milk tea (the milk tea is Hong Kong style and strong), almond milk and lemon honey drink. We ordered the beef rice rolls, baked pork chop over rice, fish and beef balls noodle soup, stir fry noodles with shredded roasted duck and salt and pepper calamari. All the dishes were done well. The baked pork chop is a good amount of food for the price, a great value. Come here if you are looking for a taste of comfort.

I only come here after April 30 but before June 1. In that sense, it's a May Place. They make Hong Kong style Chinese food with some American dishes for tourists, and they have a big menu like a lot of these places do. One of the best things about it is that it's open until 1 or 2 in the morning - and often even later - depending on the night, so that is pretty awesome. It's right in the heart of the new, fancy area of Chinatown and often, packed, or sometimes super busy especially late at night. There are a few other options around here this time of night but this one is very popular and I highly recommend that you give it a try. Nothing is life changing but standards and taste levels are good.

We originally went to MCCB but they didn't have what we were craving so we moseyed on down the Archer Plaza area of Chinatown and came across "My Place". I had eaten there once before w/my sister and her friend several years ago. It was fairly busy when we went in around 4pm on Sunday which is a pretty good sign because many of the other restaurants were empty in the "Twilight Zone" between lunch & dinner. All the booths were taken w/only the larger round tables in the center for parties of 6 - 8 people available. The service wasn't very good. When we came in no one seated us so we grabbed our own table. Our waitress came to the table immediately after we relocated to the booth. We didn't have time to look at the menu so I asked for a few minutes. Well the few minutes ended up being about 15 minutes. We started w/Hot & Sour Soup, Salt & Pepper Smelt & Green Beans w/Pork. After placing the initial order we decided to add Mapo Tofu. It took quite a few attempts to catch the waitresses attention to add the mapo tofu. The first 3 items came out which we started on. We were still waiting on the mapo tofu but our waitress disappeared and was nowhere in sight (did she go home?). I was saying to my wife if the tofu doesn't come out let's just cancel it as we were almost finished eating. Just when we thought the tofu wasn't coming out they brought it out to our table. * Hot & Sour Soup (large $5.95) - tofu, pork, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, green onions was pretty good * Salt, Pepper Spicy Smelt ($8.95) - Smelt battered & deep fried w/jalapeño peppers & onions. Generous portions and ummm ummm good. * Green Beans W/Pork, Onions, Garlic & Hot Red Chili Peppers ($8.95). The Green Beans were very good, not over cooked * Mapo Tofu ($7.95) - tofu,pork green onions (mehhh I've had better) Overall the food is pretty good w/generous portions & very reasonable price, but the service was lacking.

Good spot nice location. Not sure how it is to dine but take out is great. Staff answered the phone and he was very friendly. Gave me good recommendations. I had the orange shrimp, vegetables fried rice, she vegetable eggroll. All was very good. Definitely recommend

Hmmm. I tried this out because it was close to home but wished I'd not been so lazy and went to Chinatown or Minghin, which neither are far. I ordered the veggies rolls along with the salt and pepper seafood entree. The rolls were mostly the breading and the little veggies that were in them were soggy. The salt and pepper seafood could have been good if there was actually pepper on them. Just didn't feel it. The service was friendly hence the extra star.

Delicious! We ordered the combo boxes which comes with an entree, fried rice, and an egg roll for 10 bucks! The orange chicken with BBQ pork fried rice is my fave. The portion sizes are huge especially for the price. I got 2 full meals out of one box. Ordering online was quick and easy and my order was ready promptly. These are covid times so no dining in, but the dining room was clean and nicely decorated. I will be back again and again! I highly recommend.

Every time we visit Chi-town we try to check out a new restaurant in Chinatown. My Place was the pick this time around. We ordered the beef fried rice, oxtail with bean curd, and a side of American Broccoli. I will quickly sum up the food and get to the service which was questionable. The beef fried rice was the best because it was a nice mix of veggies and enough soy sauce already mixed in. First, I had to ask them for the hot tea that I saw was automatically brought out to table with people of asian descent. When the hot tea came to our table, the cups were basically dripping with water on the sides and looked unkept. Next, we asked to change our table since the A/C was blowing directly over our heads. I was happy that they agreed to let us move. Once our food came I realized that they had forgotten our broccoli order but was later told they thought we had left. How strange, we got part of the order for a table of guests they thought had left? Really. I don't like bad customer service and even more deplorable is straight disrespect when you say one thing but do another. I felt uneasy here and don't plan to return.

Great spot for fruit smoothies - just make sure to specify if you want the tapioca hot or cold, and their drinks and apps are pretty good too. My favorite thing there is the steak and onion and peppers stir fry over noodles. Every single bite of it was perfect the last time I had it. The pot stickers are pretty good too. The best thing about this place is Jason, one of the managers. You can tell when he's there because the place is definitely ON.

Went to this place within a week of its opening and yikes - it verged on mediocre / bad. I know things can be tough when just opening, but I couldn't overlook these issues. - Pork and shrimp spring rolls - These were awful, namely because the center was still frozen! It was disgusting and uncanny biting into the lukewarm overly fried shell, to get a clump of wet, partially frozen mush. It also had a funky taste to it - could have been normal but we were too put off. After one bite each, we stopped eating it. - Pork pot stickers - these were ok, though not very complex! Chunks of BBQ pork with no veggies. - Duck fried rice - this was pretty tasty, with good duck flavor. - Pepper steak - I thought this would be either a grilled steak (what is called "pepper steak" in Japan), or black pepper beef. It ended up being small pieces of cornstarched beef and tons of green bell pepper. Not enough beef! They also gave us someone else's dish but then took it back to bring to the right table. I thought the rule was once it touched someone else's table, one doesn't try to re-serve it for hygiene reasons. I guess not! My friend also felt sick after the meal. We were very underwhelmed! The space is nice, but I'm not sure the food is worth it.

Food was good. The portions seemed smaller than what was served when they were in the Chinatown location by Archer Ave. What disappointed me was the waitress mentioned the "lobster special" for that evening was 2/$23.00. I specifically reconfirmed by asking the male waiter as well. However, I was charged $32.00 for lobster special. Street metered parking. Parking is free on Sundays. The interior is spacious. Reconfirm the prices for their specials and Look at your receipt carefully!

The best HK style milk tea in Chicago. It was heartbreaking when we heard that My place was closed in Chinatown. Surprisingly they opened in south loop few months later! We came today to try the food and milk tea in the new location. Still as good as before! If it's ur first time trying this place please try the pan fried rice noodle with beef which is as good as the one we had in HK. And of course the milk tea as well. The food was so good to the point we forgot to take pictures. Good that the milk tea is decent size so I can still took the pic of the milk tea lol
