Only the soup title states eight; Thursday is closed and preparation should be confirmed for the soup item.
Use the exact 2400 South Eola Road branch for S11. Walnut Shrimp $18.50, S07. Triple Delight $17.50 and 908. Kung Pao Tofu $15.50. These are the linked ordering-menu prices, including the higher Walnut Shrimp amount compared with the operator homepage.

Ying's own menu separates rice crepes, dim sum, buns, fried dishes and soup.

The shrimp-dumpling Chinese names literally include 虾饺; no separate preparation description is inferred. Only the soup-dumpling title states eight pieces. It appears in the operator's Fried section, but its item label supplies no preparation method; ask the restaurant rather than assuming one.
Before you go. The operator lists Monday-Wednesday and Sunday 9:30 AM-6:00 PM, Thursday closed, and Friday-Saturday 9:30 AM-7:00 PM. The early-morning page showed closed until 9:30 AM.

Lucky Panda's operator-linked Eola menu has a seafood-and-tofu meal alongside Chinese American dishes and Hunan-named specialties. The rendered ordering menu separates its fixed house-specialty prices from the many size-dependent entries marked with a plus. Its shrimp Shu Mai is explicitly labelled Fried.
Build an order. Order S11. Walnut Shrimp $18.50, S07. Triple Delight $17.50 and 908. Kung Pao Tofu $15.50. The source describes Walnut Shrimp as battered shrimp in sweet creamy sauce with walnuts and Triple Delight as sliced beef, chicken and shrimp in mandarin sauce. A separate appetizer is 112. Fried Shu Mai Shrimp (6) $6.95; Fried is the operator's literal item wording and the title states six. The plain 104. Pot Sticker (6) is $7.95, without soup-dumpling or siu-mai identification.
Before you go. The own site lists Monday-Thursday 11:00 AM-9:00 PM, Friday-Saturday 11:00 AM-10:00 PM and Sunday 3:00 PM-9:00 PM. It lists delivery, carryout and dine-in; the linked ordering menu exposes delivery and pickup without a selected address. The homepage's Walnut Shrimp $16.50 differs from the linked menu's $18.50; this record uses the latter channel and retains the conflict.

Chi Noodle's independently discovered matching Grubhub feed provides a noodle-bowl meal for the exact 4334 E New York Street branch. Pacifica Square's owner separately identifies Chi Noodles as the food hall's suite 112 and describes Hong Kong-style cart noodles, wontons, soups and beef brisket. This is a separate merchant from Ying in suite 102.
Build an order. Order #2. Wonton Noodle Soup $14.00, #3. Beef Bowl $16.00 and Chinese Greens $7.99. The greens description explicitly says Seasonal Chinese vegetables with Oyster sauce, so a vegetable title is not a vegan assurance. Pan-Fried Dumplings $9.50 are described as chicken or veggie dumplings with homemade dipping sauce; no soup-dumpling, har-gow or siu-mai format is inferred from that generic title.
Before you go. The fetched matching feed establishes Friday pickup 11:00 AM-7:30 PM and delivery 11:00 AM-7:45 PM only; other weekdays were not established in the retained view. It displayed preorder service before opening and asks users to check whether delivery reaches their address. Call 630-400-0151 before a trip; the feed warns that prices can differ in-store and between pickup and delivery.
Independently discovered matching Grubhub delivery menu. Rendered 200 on 2026-10-09 for the matching street, ZIP and phone; no separate restaurant-site link to this feed was established.

Golden Sea's own Menufy menu labels every category CARRYOUT, including its separately priced dim sum section. This Ogden meal combines the explicitly named Xiao Long Bao and Shu Mai with a fixed-price moo shu vegetable plate. Generic Shrimp Dumplings are recorded without assigning a more specific dim sum format.
Build an order. Order Xiao Long Bao $6.25, Shu Mai $6.50 and Moo Shu Vegetable $10.95. The Shu Mai description says Shrimp & pork; the vegetable plate description names cabbage, egg, green onion and pancakes. Neither dim sum title states a serving count. The same carryout section lists Shrimp Dumplings $6.50 with no Chinese name, har-gow alias or crystal-dumpling wording, so its format remains unresolved. Pot Stickers (Kwoh Te) (6) is displayed at $7.65+, a starting price rather than a fixed index observation.
Before you go. Business hours are Tuesday-Thursday 11:30 AM-9:00 PM, Friday-Saturday 11:30 AM-9:30 PM and Sunday 2:00 PM-9:00 PM; Monday closed. Carryout closes fifteen minutes earlier: 8:45 PM Tuesday-Thursday/Sunday and 9:15 PM Friday-Saturday. The weekday lunch combinations include an egg roll and BBQ pork fried rice; do not assume a vegetable combination is vegan.

East China Inn's own site separates Montgomery Road in Aurora from its Batavia and North Aurora locations.

The suggested meal uses fixed item amounts.
Build an order. Order 406. Moo Shu Pork $14.20, 1303. Beef Chow Fun $16.70 and 1207. Buddha's Delight $12.90.

Pot Stickers (6) $9.15 are described as pan-fried pork dumplings, without a soup-dumpling identity.
Before you go. The linked branch Info & Hour view displays online ordering hours Monday-Thursday 11:30 AM-8:15 PM, Friday-Saturday 11:30 AM-9:15 PM and Sunday noon-8:15 PM.

Wok Inn's own site offers pickup and a readable Chinese menu at this exact North Farnsworth Avenue address. Its Hunan-named chicken and rice-noodle specialty provide a different meal from the food hall's dim sum and cart noodles. The chef-specialty listings use fixed prices, while combination plates explicitly say From.
Build an order. Order 566. Hunan Chicken 🌶️ $14.95, 357. L, Sing Chow Mei Fun (no rice) 🌶️ $15.95 and 351. L, Vegetarian's Delight $14.95. The chicken description names baby corn, mushroom, green pepper and broccoli with spicy garlic sauce; the noodle description names shrimp, BBQ pork, onion, green peppers, bean sprouts and carrots. The literal Hunan title is preserved without claiming the whole kitchen specializes in Hunan cuisine. 106. Pot Sticker (5) $7.95 has no soup-dumpling identity.
Before you go. The own site lists Sunday opening hours 10:00 AM-8:00 PM and separately lists pickup service and dine-in Monday-Saturday 11:00 AM-8:45 PM.

Lao Sze Chuan's Aurora operator page explicitly describes traditional Sichuan cuisine and prints this exact E New York Street address. Its readable menu names dry chili chicken, cumin lamb, fish, tofu and vegetable dishes. The suggested Sichuan meal is source-backed, but the page supplies no current numerical item prices.
Build an order. Ask about S01. Chef's Special Dry Chili Chicken, S08. Lamb w/Pure Cumin and S12. Szechuan String Bean from the operator's readable menu. The same page lists S02. Mapo Tofu and S13. Garlic Peapod leaves; no meat-free recipe is inferred for Mapo Tofu. Current prices are unavailable because this menu has no amounts and the linked ordering page returned 403. No review-mentioned xiaolongbao or price from another branch is used.
Before you go. The operator menu and home page both list Sunday-Thursday 11:00 AM-9:30 PM and Friday-Saturday 11:00 AM-10:00 PM.

Guotie (potstickers) Pan-fried dumplings browned on one side, then steamed with a little water under a lid; 'potsticker' is the English form of guotie.
