Let me start by saying I had a positive experience in 2023 when I first ordered from 3 Little Pigs Chi. The portions were large, flavorful albeit greasy. My partner and I liked it and planned on ordering from them again. The second time he and I ordered from 3 Little Pigs Chi was June 2024, we ordered $75 worth of food via Uber Eats. Our order was taking almost 2 hours before we cancelled our order - to which we contacted UberEats. UberEats is a scam just like Uber, the company itself is scum. They refused to credit or refund the amount even after explaining the situation. Tired, hungry and frustrated we contacted the restaurant and asked if we could pick up the order ourselves, to which they denied saying the order had been “thrown away” as no one had picked it up EVEN though it had been paid for ourselves. The cherry on top, they were closing. Had this ordeal not lasted 2 hours, that would have been plenty of time to drive all the way across town and pick up our own food. Still, I gave 3 Little Pigs another chance, understanding that Uber Eats was more at fault in the previous situation. This time I ordered delivery for work. We waited over an hour (1.5 hours this time) for lunch for delivery from Avondale to Lincoln Park. The chicken was mid at best and the vegetable noodles did not have a single vegetable. I rarely post bad reviews but this was despicable and I will never eat from here again. Honestly appalled how they have so many ghost kitchens in Chicago and are in business.

For my fist time ordering from here I was excited since I when by the rating maybe just my bad luck Day I asked for fried rice which it was different experience for us my spicy rice was 3x salted like really salty couldnt eat it garbage… I got 3 crab Rangoon’s for $11 wow !!! and they forgot to send my other chicken plate Bbq pork was raw orange chicken was good other than that I think it’s over rated not so good for the reviews

Amazing!! quality size with amazing price!. The food is flavorful and well-balanced portions. Would recommend making this the new family spot. 🔥🔥🔥

This is the ONLY Chinese kitchen ive been going to for YEARS. I have referred countless of people to this restaurant because the flavor never misses. Orders always right, food is always hot, and comes out quick. Sure service is a bit rough but none of that matters when you’re hungry and ready to eat. Would give this place 6 stars if I could.

I loved it here. The atmosphere is very cozy and quiet, the staff are very polite and accommodating, and the food was absolutely delicious. I'm usually a picky eater, but I loved every piece of the dish I ordered from them, including the jump shrimp and mushrooms, which I usually wouldn't even touch in any other setting. Their black tea is incredible, as well as their curry.

Was looking for a great egg roll and this spot popped up. GINORMOUS egg rolls that were what I was looking for, filled with pork and shrimp! The hot and sour soup is the best I’ve had in years. The Oriental Express was also good, but too many pea pods, and they’re bitter(I think naturally) but I LOVE the mushroom variety in it! Excited to try other items! Wish the restaurant posted more photos of dishes.

We recently enjoyed a wonderful dinner at this restaurant. The chef demonstrated exceptional talent, and the flavors of the dishes were truly remarkable. I indulged in the Fillet Mignon steak and chicken with fried rice—both were absolutely delicious. My son opted for the Benihana steak, and he was thrilled with how perfectly it was cooked. Every meal came with a delightful soup and fresh salad, and we ended our meal with some tasty ice cream. Overall, we were incredibly impressed with the quality and taste of the food. The dining experience was thoroughly enjoyable, and we would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable meal.

The first time we visited this location, Joe was a welcoming host. Our server Telmuun was very fast-paced and welcoming, he had everything just ready at perfect timing from drinks to food. The food was delicious! We enjoy this Benihana location!

I live in Des Plaines but this is my "go to" Chinese food for pickup and delivery. Everything I've gotten has been good and portions are generous too. Chicken Lo Mein, MaPo Tofu are among my favorites.

Great food. Pot stickers were nice and crispy and the Mongolian beef was delish.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience deserves some feedback. It was my first time at this restaurant, and while the staff was polite, the service was clearly impacted by how busy and understaffed they were. We waited an hour and a half for sushi, and other tables nearby experienced similar delays. I ordered the Szechuan Broth, which I’ve enjoyed at other hot pot restaurants, but this version was disappointing. The amount of Sichuan peppercorns was overwhelming, making the broth overly numbing and inedible. It wasn’t a matter of spice tolerance—it was simply excessive. My friend’s Mushroom Broth was fine, but the Szechuan Broth left me feeling sick and later throwing up that night. The sauce and veggie bar was compact but adequate. While the waitress was courteous and did her best under the circumstances, the overall experience was disappointing. I would recommend avoiding the Szechuan Broth and hope the restaurant makes adjustments. I would suggest visiting when the restaurant is less busy to see if it improves.

Cheap restaurant, low quality food, and bad service. Triple threat, ladies and gentlemen. They are soooo stingy on the meat. I had to tell the waiter to bring me pieces that were bigger than my thumb. He brought back larger pieces, but they were all so fatty! The flavor options for the broth were bad. I wish they had miso. The service was so off! Asked for two diet cokes but never got it til the VERY end. Asked for certain sushi rolls and had to ask again why they were taking so long to come out. Mind you the restaurant was empty! The server was clueless. The options were super limited on the lunch menu it’s a joke. They practically force you to get the dinner menu and you certainly don’t get the value for your money, as the meat they serve is low quality and stingy. This place managed to do everything wrong. Want good hot pot? Go to Shabu-You.

Great new Asian fusion spot in wicker park! Food was beautifully prepared. Everything full of flavor. Got 3 dishes - the soup dumplings, the bibomen and the ribs and liked all of them. Soup dumplings were A+. Definitely will be back

What a find! I feel like it's so hard to find new exciting places in Wicker but Bigsuda is a new hidden gem. Great food, everything is super fresh, I would recommend the steamed dumplings for sure 😋 Loved that the fried dishes were not greasy like they usually are And the atmosphere was really romantic and cozy Really recommend checking it out!

Very solid Chinese with an extensive menu. Eating in was fairly quiet, dishes were well plated and came fairly quickly. Spices were great, a good blend without going overboard though it may be a bit much if you have low spice tolerances. This location is also BYOB as well.

Chengdu Impression in Wicker Park is a standout for authentic Sichuan cuisine! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. The dishes are packed with bold flavors and the perfect balance of spice and depth. Highlights include their mouthwatering spicy hot pot, dim sum, tender mapo tofu, and the addictive dan dan noodles along with dry chengdu chili chicken. The spice level can be adjusted to your preference, but even the mild options deliver incredible flavor. Service is friendly and efficient, and the food arrives fresh and fast. If you’re craving true Sichuan flavors in Chicago, this place is a must-visit! Highly recommended!

For me, this is THE best Korean-Chinese spot in Chicago. Sure, there are places like Yu's Mandarin, Chef Ping, Great Sea, Great Beijing, etc but they don't focus only on Korean-chinese food like Lai Lai do, hence in my opinion, Lai Lai serves the best Jajangmyeon and Jjambbong. Now, Jajangmyeon comes in many varieties, but most people aren't aware of the differences: Regular Jajangmyeon: All ingredients are stir-fried, then water and starch are added, resulting in a familiar starchy texture with added sugar or salt. Gan Jajang: Cooked with just oil, it tends to be more oily and has a stronger "fire" taste from longer stir-frying, often more salty. Uni Jajang: Ingredients are minced, so the dish lacks visible ingredient shapes and texture but brings out most flavor. Sam seon Jajang (precious ingredients from sky, land, and sea): Originally with expensive items like shrimp, abalone, and pork, now often substituted with squid and cheaper ingredients. Tray Jajang: Essentially +2 portions of Sam seon Jajang without the expensive ingredients. I mention this because in Chicago, there are very few places offering these varieties, and even fewer doing it well. No one specializes in it quite like Korea, and the closest I've found to matching Korean taste is regular Jajangmyeon from Lai Lai. I can also go on about Jjambbong and the chicken as you see on the picture but perhaps on another review...

This spot has some great dishes, but the standout for me is their gun poong chicken. Enjoy a plate full of drumsticks that are crispy on the outside and soft inside, covered in a spicy sauce and a side of rice. Be sure to ask for extra napkins.

My absolute favorite Panda Express location ever! I feel like the food is always fresh no matter what day or time I get takeout from here. The portion sizes they give are always filling and beyond satisfactory. I have no complaints. Even eating it as leftovers the next day or two is still tastes amazing!

For the longest time, I saw Panda Express as cheap, unappealing Chinese food that I’d occasionally crave once or twice a year. But every time I ate, I was like yea, no more panda for a year. So, I ranked Panda Express at the bottom of the fast food chain obviously. However, this particular LOCATION completely changed my perspective. About two months ago, it was about time, so I ate from this Panda, and I was so impressed. The meal was hot, perfectly cooked, not overly salty or oily, just a delightful and affordable meal. Impressed, I downloaded the app, thinking I might actually visit this place more frequently. Now, I've been coming here roughly every two weeks, and it never disappoints! I never imagined I’d enjoy Panda Express this much. I genuinely want to applaud the cook and manager for their excellent work. Many other reviews seem unrealistic—expecting more beef than broccoli in a $10 meal? Come on. I definitely recommend kung Pao chicken and teriyaki chicken for sure. Sweet chicken thingy and shrimp was meh.

Decent Chinese food, although I wish their orange chicken was spicier. Great crab rangoon. Egg rolls are okay. The owners are nice people.

The food here is sensational. I ordered the orange chicken and it was around $8. That is an incredible price. My mouth was watering before I had my first bite. The food was so good I had to edge and I could barely control my urges. I 100% recommend and I will be coming back:)

The place looks great!  The ambiance is modern and very inviting, this is how you get your money lol. The menu offer a great variety of sushi, sashimi, rolls, hot plate, appetizers, wine, beer and drinks!  If you ask me they are over priced lol five adult + two kids, cost $500+ lol Services was slooooow lol.  Please don’t get me wrong, the place was packed!  A lot of ppl coming in to grab carry out so the place wasn’t empty didn’t see an empty table but they got a lot of workers!  But our servers was slow….and from time to time I would see 5-6 workers playing w/ their phones lol.  We also have a water pitcher on our table so iam not sure why this high-end restaurant we need to sever ourselves water LOL I can see the fish is fresh & beautifully presented and some of the dishes are good but not great! This is a restaurant, where you try once and hard to come back lol
