Chinese Restaurant · Uptown · 159 tips and reviews
Laina V: Amazing Peking duck, salt baked chicken, BBQ pork and lechon. Probably one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in Chicago. Don't come here for sweet and sour chicken and egg rolls.
ISC Chicago: Salt Baked Chicken
duffy deitz: I am addicted to this place! Come hungry & order the whole Peking duck dinner and a cold beer, you won't be disappointed. For around $50 for two, you'll get tea, soup, fried rice and a whole duck car Read more.

Sarah: Love this place! Very good quality. If you are looking for a cute place in the west loop- this is it :)
Laura Darby: If you say "no sprouts" on the California Dream, they ask you if you want spinach instead! Hell yes, I want spinach instead!

Karol Jarząbek: Best meal and service I have had in a long time! This family owned establishment eclipses the already established restaurants in the area. There is a reason why this place has 4.5 stars on Yelp.
Annie: Ryan is an excellent server with a deep knowledge of the different dishes and flavors. Ask him for any advice if you have trouble ordering. Thanks, Ryan!
Casey J: Amazing food and awesome customer service!

Italian Restaurant · Ravenswood · 31 tips and reviews
Time Out Chicago: The deep-red walls and friendly service make this charming Ravenswood spot as warm as the food. And because it’s BYOB, it’s hard to beat the value. Read more.
Jeff Willinger: BYOB and ginormous portions that make Maggiano's look small.
Seth Putnam: To start: the bruschetta (the best I've ever had). For the main, the pasta is molto bene. Portions are huge, so feel to share. Best part: BYOB, no corking fee.

Italian Restaurant · Old Irving Park · 37 tips and reviews
Nicole P: Best Italian food in Chicago. Homemade and made to order, you can't go wrong. Come with a full stomach, portions are huge and service is wonderul!
Kirb Torres: Some of my favorite Chicago deep dish pizza. Try the spinach and sausage thin crust or deep dish.
Matthew Eric: The $20 pizza was just a blob of cheese on toast w/ a splash of sauce that tasted like from a can. The entertainment was a man with an accordion who sounded drunk and on Percocet.
Drea P.: Mojitos are a must! Garbanzos are the way to go for a Vegetarian meal. :)
Dana Tedesco: Helllllo!!!?? Shrimp stuffed w/ cheese and wrapped w/ ham AND bacon. Top w/ the spicy avocado or habanero sauce!
BetsyM: Get your night started with one of their special not-on-the-menu margs, which has a shot of coconut rum. As our host explained, "It will get you where you need to be."

American Restaurant · Streeterville · 349 tips and reviews
Brytn3i: I always get a baked chicken breast with some kind of cheese on top and it comes with shrimp skewers mashed potatoes and I always get the asparagus with it. Absolutely delicious!!
Corinna P: I don't care that it's a chain owned by the Cheesecake Factory. The views of Michigan Ave are great, as are the snacks and the cocktails. Perfect place to stop for a bite on a shopping day.
Ron Willis: You can never go wrong here because the menu is so vast! Make sure you asked to be seated in the "rotunda room" with a window seat of Michigan Ave
