"Sure, pizzas, hot dogs, and Italian beef might be Chicago’s signature dishes, but Sun Wah’s off-menu peking duck dinner deserves a spot on the podium. This Uptown Chinese restaurant has been carving roast birds tableside since 1986, and every course of the duck feast—meaty baos, plates of rice and noodles, light broth made with the carcass—is excellent. When you’re crowded around a lazy susan in the company of good friends, family, and plates of glistening roast duck, few group dinners in the city can compare." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
