"This Chinese spot in Bucktown is from one of our favorite restaurants in Chicago—Giant. And Chef’s Special Cocktail Bar is just as much a very good Chinese restaurant as it is a bar. It’s loud and crowded, and the large space is full of people who are clearly having a good time. 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 $11 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." - Adrian Kane
