The Best Chicago Restaurants For Dining Solo - Chicago - The Infatuation

"If you’re avoiding work, your ex, or a mountain of laundry, the best place to dine solo is somewhere that’s not crowded, perhaps even underground. Enter 3 Sauces, a food stall in Chinatown’s Richland Center basement food court. This place is never too busy, so it’s perfect for eating in peace while enjoying some of the best Hainanese chicken in Chicago. The poached chicken has subtle ginger and scallion flavors and is complemented by a great line-up of soy, garlic, and chili sauces. Throw in the accompanying broth and pillowy rice cooked with chicken fat, and it’s the ideal respite from whatever you’re trying to escape." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
