14 Great Restaurants Open On Christmas Day - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This Chinese spot in Bucktown 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, plus a few holiday specials available until 8pm on the 25th. Just know this place gets busy, so plan on waiting for a seat at the bar (which is first come, first served). Reservations are required if you want to eat at a table." - adrian kane, john ringor
