“Golden Bull (for authentic Cantonese dishes), Mayflower Restaurant (for dim sum, if you don’t mind the noise), Happy Lamb Hot Pot (for hotpot) and Chef Xiong (if you like some spicy dishes).”

“I like Phoenix and MingHin. Rotary Sushi plus also. Triple Crown. Hotpot at Happy Lamb. Joy Yee for fruit smoothies. Tiger Sugar for boba. Lots of good places.”

“MCCB is chef’s kiss! And Sushi + Rotary is yummy and fun! Also, Ping Tom Park! And Chiu Quon Bakery has delicious everything, but also the take home steamed baozi are worth every penny! And my boys like Joy Yee #2, it’s a bit down from the full size restaurant. They have good boba selections and Bubble waffle ice cream. The Taro ice cream is yum!”

“Strings, it’s a ramen place. Always full and long lines. Food and service are great.”

“Dim Sum Beef Chop Suey, Australia Seaweed soup at Three Happiness Restaurant across the street from the Firehouse.”

“Hot Take – I don’t love MingHin. If you are looking for lunch Xi’an Cuisine is good.”

“Triple Crown is our go-to for Dim Sum. There are fun sights and shops along that small stretch of Wentworth Avenue.”

“Our go-to is Furama Restaurant in Chinatown. Dim Sum and other specialty foods. Free parking if the one at the restaurant is full, they have another parking space across the street.”              

“I love Golden Bull! Ping Tom Park is a beautiful place to walk around.”

“Joy Yee is amazing (there are 4 of them!). Def hit the tea/ice cream spot near Bonchon. It is so, so good. Don’t just stick to the plaza though. Walk down the block too. There’s lots of dumpling and ice cream places.”

“If you enjoy sushi visit Mira Sushi inside Chinatown Square. Several shops and places to eat in Chinatown Square. I hear Happy Lamb Hot Pot on Wentworth in Chinatown is great. They opened a new location on about 32/Halsted in Bridgeport.”

”Daifuku Ramen, Mango Mango Dessert upstairs from the ramen place. Also, 88 Marketplace down the road from Chinatown has a food court with various authentic Asian options.”

“Gene and Georgetti, great food, service and love the old steakhouse ambience. I like the big salad with the shrimp on top. I call it the garbage salad. I’ve had the bone-in ribeye and several pasta dishes. Lots of tastes from other’s plates. It’s all good. This is the Downtown location. The one near O’Hare’s not as good.”
