The Best Restaurants In Bucktown - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This Chinese spot in is from the Giant team, and is just as much a very good Chinese restaurant as it is a bar. The food menu is long, and you’ll find tasty versions of everything from spicy mapo tofu to shrimp toast to sweet and sour chicken. They also have great Happy Hour deals like $13 dan dan noodles or $9 old fashioneds. Just know this place is busy, so plan on waiting a while for a seat at the bar (which is first come, first served) and definitely make reservations if you want to eat at a table." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen
