The 23 Best Chinese Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This casual, no-reservations spot in Ukrainian Village feels like a house party. It’s small, crowded, full of family photos, and hip-hop blasts in the background. And just like a party, you shouldn’t show up empty-handed—the place has a BYOB policy. Get the cold sesame noodles, spicy eggplant, and pork dumplings in a spicy sour broth. Most of the dishes are seasoned in what LPY calls “the holy trinity.” Get lost in the combination of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil, and pretend the nearby people waiting for you to finish your six-pack don’t exist." - john ringor, adrian kane
