The 23 Best Late-Night Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Open until 12am Sunday-Thursday, 1am Friday-Saturday This speakeasy in Chinatown is hidden inside Moon Palace Express, behind its kitchen door. The food menu is short, but does have some highlights, like zesty mapo fries and a pork cutlet sandwich with tonkatsu sauce—both of which go great with one of their unique cocktails, like a bold-flavored Old Fashioned made with Chinese five-spice. Upbeat hip-hop music makes the place feel energetic, but it’s still relaxed enough to chill at the bar or share snacks on their comfy couches without worrying about drunk table dancers." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
