The 36 Best Restaurants In Chinatown - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Listen up, because this is very important: we’re talking about Happy Lamb Hot Pot farther south on Wentworth, not—we repeat—not Little Lamb Hot Pot on the southeast corner of Cermak and Wentworth. Happy Lamb is where you want to be. This large restaurant has fantastic hot pot with flavorful broths (get the combo of original and spicy Szechuan) and high-quality meat, seafood, and vegetables. You can go AYCE for $26.95, but we prefer ordering a la carte because the menu is longer. This place gets incredibly busy and only takes reservations for 10 or more, so you can expect a long wait. Luckily they have a self-serve ice cream machine and free bags of chips to help with that." - adrian kane, john ringor
