This is a great dinner spot! It's definitely a hole in the wall, but my husband, who is from Hong Kong. confirmed that they have really authentic Taiwanese food. He loved their beef noodle soup and I had a great tofu dish!

I am a bit disappointed. After reading the rave reviews, I had hoped this place would wow me.
The place is clean but lack of personality. My friend and I placed and paid our order at the register, picked up a number and seated ourselves.
The popcorn chicken was very good and I loved the seasoning. The beef noodle soup was delicious and flavorful. I didn't care for the potstickers, green beans & pork and ribs. Like I said, it didn't wow me.
While I sat and chatted with my friend, I saw an elderly man with a little hunchback cleaning the table. My friend and I proceeded bring our dishes to the counter and cleaned our table. I would definite come back for the popcorn chicken but I'm afraid that would be all. -

I wish this place was closer to me so I could go more often. I crave their beef noodle soup, fried tofu, and chive pockets. Great Taiwanese food!

An unassuming spot at first glance and nestled among many other boutique businesses, one would not expect 527 Cafe to have some of the most authentic bowls of Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. Coming from the East Coast where good, authentic Taiwanese cuisine is rare, I was absolutely floored by the quality of 527 Cafe's Beef Noodle Soup.
This bowl contained absolutely tender, fall-apart stewed beef that was elevated by a complex, meaty broth - dark and flavorful. It also helped that the noodles were cooked perfectly al dente and were a nice vessel to help carry the oils and savoriness of the broth. Every element simply jived with one another to create a harmonious dish that stunned me into silence. Heck, even the scallion pancake I got ended up being a perfect companion to the broth.
527 Cafe's Beef Noodle Soup makes it a worthwhile stop even if you are not getting anything else! -

They have added some new delicious items on their menu. This is still one of our favorite Asian restaurants in Chicagoland
