As I walked in staff was sitting at table didn't seem to want to take care of me even though I called in an order. I ordered a large beef fried rice and it was horrible no flavor at all. And seemed small for a large. I will definitely NOT come back to this establishment again. Don't get me started on the dirty lobster tanks that smell
If you see all Chinese/asian people sitting in this restaurant, then it must be good. Really good food!!! Wonder why only 3.3 stars.
I had diarrhoea thereafter uncooked steamed prawn rice stick, Stale yam crocket, stale glutinous rice, stale siew loong pau and stale pork soya wraps. Rude stewards demanded tips.
Go next door 3 crowns, much better , the usual high aji no moto

The Mayflower Chinese restaurant in Chicago’s Chinatown looks like it would have good food because when you walk in the door you see a lot of local Chinese people eating there. The only thing is they have fish tanks right by the door and they are dirty and smelly. Also, the food is lacking in seasoning and the servers were very rude. The decor is very old dirty and outdated. I would not recommend this place. The price is what the quality food are. If the health inspector were to come here they would probably be very surprised.
I only ordered one dish, so take my review with a grain of salt. Positives: I got the AA Choy which tasted good--garlicky and not too salty, and it came with rice. They were cooked to a perfect texture. The portion size was big; one container was filled to the brim with vegetables, and the other filled to the brim with rice. The service was also pretty fast.
Negatives: the vegetables were extremely oily, as you can see in my second image. There were also some grains of sand in the leaves. Originally I wanted the pea tips which they didn't have, so then, I asked for the sweet potato leaves which they also didn't have. I settled on the AA Choy with the help of the cashier.

We were sitting there enjoying our meal until a cockroach walked across the counter. And the bathroom hasn't been cleaned yet this year. It's mid September. The live fish tank was foul and there was too many fish in the decorative tank. Then the ahole had the audacity to ask for a tip. The tip of the ice burg was finding an empty Cognac bottle under our table
Located in Chicago Chinatown, mayflower is a restaurant that serves solid dim sum. I went around lunch time on a Sunday, and it was busy. The establishment was filled with locals, and it was loud as people were conversing over the food. There are too many dishes to go over, but here are 3 things that were good during this visit:
1. Loh Mai Fan, sticky rice: it’s fried style (rather than steamed) and has peanuts.
2. Lo Bak Go, turnip cake: crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside.
3. Wu Gok, Crispy taro puff: crispy outside filled with taro and meat on the inside.
It isn’t the fanciest, but it’s relatively inexpensive for going out for dim sum. If you’re in Chinatown, check this place out if you’re looking for a good place for dim sum.

DO order dim sum. DO NOT order beef chow fun. Their dim sum is fine and the price is decent! But the beef chow fun I ordered tasted so bland, I guess they didn't put enough soy sauce.
This place is not the best place in Chinatown, nor the worst, somewhere in between. Thus, come here if you're looking for cheap and okay dim sum.
