No, I’m not talking about the posts of a certain Fishwrap writer…
On my way back to the SPTDV from Acton U in Grand Rapids, I stopped in S. Chicago to meet friends for Chinese at the best Chinese restaurant I know (so far) in these USA.
Ma Po Tofu … a Chinese business associate of my host for the meal said that this is better than what he finds in China.
The house special noodles. I got a take out order to bring home for breakfast the next day.
Lamb in cumin. WOW… this is seriously intense.
Shrimp in orange and mayo, but… crispy!
Eggplants
Chicken
A birds eye view.
And I got a real fortune… a couple days late, perhaps.
It wasn’t easy to drive several hours after this meal, that’s for sure.
What a treat this was. The Chinese in my town is, frankly, barely mediocre at the places the locals tout as “the best”.
I’m heading to Chicago this summer for vacation. What is the name of this wondrous place?

A five-minute walk from my favorite, Go 4 Food on 23rd. Would be interested to hear a comparison from a palate more expert than mine.
Thanks!
My wife is Chinese and I always find that gets us better service(and food as well!) We’ve never been to Chicago’s Chinatown so I’m looking forward to that as well
