527 Cafe - Evanston

Great drinks, especially the house milk tea, and food!

Ordered kimchi fried rice, popcorn chicken and taro tea. Fried rice and popcorn chicken were not tasty, specially the fired rice was really bad. I am sorry but I feel sad spending 30$ here.

We love coming here whenever we’re in Evanston! Our favorites are the popcorn chicken, beef noodle soup, and the Taiwanese style fried rice. We also love trying the new drinks on their menu! Highly recommend!

This restaurant was recommended by my Chinese friends. I had their Takoyaki, Taiwanese Beef with Rice Noodle Soup and Taiwanese Style Fried Rice recently. Takouaki is really tasty and I highly recommend this but the other two are not good at all. Rice noodle soup had no any flavor, it just tasted like a mix of water and rice. Fried rice was too salty. To be honest, I might not go this place again even there are lots of others in their menu.

1st time today and WON'T come back. 2 orders of popcorn chicken are dried and overcooked. Pork chop Benton other types of benton are slightly tiny size for $12-$14. Turnip cake is dried and burned. Other items we ordered are all slightly smaller than Taipei Cafe and Jasmine in Chicago Chinatown.
