Robert HenkinJune 25, 2016One of the best restaurants in the city. Having traveled in China this food is the real thing. Try the West Lake soup. Also the lamb is awesome. There are items you won't recognize, but are real.- Kelsey PetersMay 4, 2013Skip the crab Rangoon and egg rolls, but don't miss Tony's chicken with three chilies. YUM!
Pam P.June 14, 2015Very large portions, we always have a ton of leftovers. They offer many authentic Chinese dishes that you would actually find in China. (most food in China isn't battered and fried)
Adam GraffDecember 12, 2012Skip the booze, and focus on eating. I have to agree on the apps, the pot stickers and green beans are awesome. The shrimp in lemon sauce was delicious.
One of my fav Lao Sze Chuan locations. Cabbage always comes first as an amuse bouche. Wish they still had drinks.
Garlic eggplant, lemon shrimp, thrice cooked fish - order anything and you won't regret it! Also, they serve beer and pretty good cocktails
Joseph B.February 26, 2018Quick delivery, but pretty expensive for what it is. As far as I can tell, it's regular Chinese food. Maybe I should try some of the "Asian fusion" dishes next time.
Robert O'RileyJuly 26, 2015I like to skip the entrees and just order a bunch of apps. Everything is good so you can't go wrong.
Sanjiv GajiwalaSeptember 29, 2013Tonys 3 chili chicken is a staple, but don't forget to order the scallion pancakes or wontons on the side.- Joshua ChatoOctober 6, 2012Order the String Bean in Spicey Black Bean Sauce - soooo good! The potstickers are huge and cooked to perfection.
Best Chinese food in Chicago. Get anything with veggies. It's fresh and crunchy.
Kyle carlsonFebruary 6, 2013Good lunch special. 6.95 includes mini appetizer, soup, veggie and rice.
- Tina HarrisOctober 30, 2014Ridiculously fast service, even on a busy night. It's amazing - but when they say spicy, they mean it!
I had a delicious stir lamb with green onions. Good portions for a reasonable price. $$
Nazia O'dullaughAugust 19, 2014Everything is delicious here. Get Mongolian lamb and Singapore noodles.
