Minyoli

Andersonville · Taiwanese Community-sourced, unverified
📍 5420 N Clark St, Chicago, IL 60640

Minyoli opened in Andersonville in April 2024 under chef Rich Wang, who previously cooked at Boka and Fat Rice before striking out with a concept built specifically around juan cun cuisine — the home cooking of Taiwan's 'military dependents' villages,' settled by mainland Chinese soldiers and their families after 1949, which blends regional Chinese cooking traditions in a way that's genuinely rare to find represented this specifically in an American restaurant.

$$
Taiwanese beef noodle soup on housemade noodles and Taiwanese fried chicken — juan cun 'military village' home cooking rarely represented this specifically at an American restaurant.

The name itself comes from the Taipei district where Wang spent his early childhood, a personal reference rather than a generic cuisine label. The signature dish is a Taiwanese beef noodle soup built on housemade noodles, with gluten-free noodles available for anyone who needs them, alongside Taiwanese fried chicken that one recent reviewer called the best version they'd ever had, plus braised and fried snacks, desserts, and a cocktail program. Early reviews noted some new-restaurant growing pains, but more recent coverage into 2026 suggests the kitchen has smoothed those out.

The schedule runs in two distinct windows most days — an 11-to-2 lunch/brunch service and a separate dinner seating starting at 5 — with Sunday reserved specifically for a dedicated brunch menu rather than the regular noodle lineup. No confirmed phone or email turned up in research, and Instagram is the primary channel beyond the website itself. No happy hour applies to a noodle-and-small-plates restaurant built around specific regional technique rather than a bar program, but a juan cun concept this specific is a rare enough find in Chicago that it doesn't need one.
