The 23 Best Chinese Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Richland Center's underground food court in Chinatown has plenty of outstanding stalls, but nowhere makes us more excited to eat in a basement than Szechuan Bistro. Everything from the long menu involving mouth-numbing peppers is pungent and a good reminder that we’re still capable of feeling something. Our favorite dish is the house special boiled fish. It's flaky and comes in a massive tray of bubbling scarlet broth, like a chili pepper jacuzzi. If you’re looking for more spice-induced endorphins, the frog, dan dan noodles, or the boneless chicken in chili sauce are also worth checking out." - john ringor, adrian kane
