Katy's Dumplings - Oak Park

Moving my reviews over from Yelp. Originally published 2/2020: What a great find! They make a lot (but not all) of their stuff in-house so it's very fresh. I personally think that fresh pasta is one of those things that is like the scene with the red or blue pill choice from the Matrix. One shows him the truth and the other returns him to blissful ignorance. Yep, fresh pasta is a similar experience. We ordered potstickers, beef chow fun and wonton soup. There's not one of those dishes that was less than spectacular although the beef chow fun stood out for two reasons: 1. incredibly salty 2. insanely tender beef You should be good to order the beef chow fun as long as a bit of extra sodium won't send you to the hospital. If it will, get something else. If it won't, you're in for a trea

Katy’s Dumplings Oak Park was valid. The Beef Chow Fun was on point, with perfectly cooked wide noodles, just the right amount of sauce, silky beef and crispy edges yummy. The dumplings were good Pork and cabbage and shrimp with greens. Mao Po tofu was perfectly seasoned and tofu was excellent. We also tried the Dumpling noodle soup which was ok. The scallion pancake was bland and chewy so I don’t recommend it. I highly recommend all the other dishes though and prices were fair and portions were large. I will definitely be back. Service was super too.

By far the best Chinese restaurant in the area. Everything is amazing. The three chili fish, mapo tofu, chow fun and crab Rangoons are our favorites.

Ordered door dash The scallion pancakes are super thick and they dont come with a dipping sauce. The soup dumplings had zero liquid in them, they were not soup dumplings. Green beans were OK.

Bummed to have to say this but the food was pretty bad. I don't know how they can burn and then go ahead and serve onion pancake this way, unless they don't care. The pork and cabbage dumplings were unlike any we've had, but not seem necessarily bad. But the shrimp in the spring rolls was undercooked and mushy still. The location is fantastic and the decor good. We only did takeout so not sure how the waitstaff is. Unfortunately we'll have to go a bit further for authentic Chinese food, as this seemed to offer it, and then disappoint.
