What an amazing find tonight! From the minute we walked through the door, we knew we were in for a treat! Delicious authentic Chinese food and incredible service. We started with the scallion pancake and the colorful wide cold noodles. Do not pass these up when you visit. The cold noodles are wide rice noodles served with a flavorful peanut sauce over a bed of cucumber salad. Sweet and tangy with just enough acidity. The scallion pancake has so many flaky layers bursting with scallions. We also enjoyed the lamb dumplings, cumin lamb, and the mongolian chicken. Each dish was fresh so delicious. The team’s pride in what they do shines through their food and outstanding service.

Food is a bit more pricey than other typical places and portions are slightly smaller but the quality and taste is unmatched. Much more filling and satisfying because of how delicious the food is! Service is excellent and the restaurant is very clean. They offer more options for customizing typical dishes (especially pot sticker dumplings). They even offer quantity orders for freezer storage. The website is easy to use but when placing a pickup order it doesn’t give a time frame but the fees are beyond cheaper than others for using the convenience of it. Highly Recommended!! The only Asian restaurant I have ever called after eating and told them to give my compliments to the chef!!

Highly recommend the eggplant with garlic sauce. And according to my wife the dumplings are just like her mom made. The fruit tea was also very flavorful and a nice contrast to the rich food.

I’ve been ordering takeout here for over a year. Most Chinese-American restaurant cooking tends to be on the heavy gooey side. This one is the opposite. Sauces are lighter, but food still tastes awesome. Highly recommended!

The hidden gem of Lisle. My wife had stumbled on this one via Chowbus. Very much a hole in the wall kind of place. Pretty limited seating and most orders seemed to be take out, but the food is legit.

Amazing service. The food is delicious. I really enjoyed the Napa Cabbage Pork Dumplings and the Home Style Stir-fried Pork. The servings are very large so bring your appetite or a friend.

SY Chef is a local gem as far as I’m concerned! Portions are really great for the price, and the actual dishes themselves taste amazing from what we’ve had. Tonight we ordered the combo meals, and ended up having more than enough for leftovers. The bubble teas are also very good! Highly recommend this as the go-to for Chinese food in the Lisle area.
