“Very impressed with this restaurant. Friendly, great service. Food was great. Of course, we have to had the chicken lollipop! Portion sizes were generous! Recommended!”
“Drop everything that your doing and run to this delicious hot spot located in the heart of Albany Park in Chicago. Not only do they have the best attention to customer services the food portions are served generously and taste delicious! Everyone comes here to enjoy the decent size of their lollipop Chicken wings. That's full of flavor sauteed and cooked in their special sauce. We decided to try the breaded shrimp in the same sauce and ordered everything spicy because we like it HOT! As our table was being taken over with items from the menu, it was hard to indulge from every dish in front of us in order to be able to eat everything. This place is huge and plenty of seating for large groups. I recommend this place for any and every occasion I promise you that you will not walk out disappointed! Our bill was 105.00 for crab Rangoon appetizer, vegetable spring rolls, combination fried rice, bowl full of spicy Shrimp and a bowl of the lollipop wings. No lie for 2 people we had enough to feed a group of 5. This is definitely my first review where I want to give it a 10 star for everything.”
“Great sea is a great Chinese food spot...The lollipop wings push them over the top, the hype is real. Nice crispy tender chicken fried to perfection and the spicy wing sauce is phenomenal, like you can drink it good! The best part is you get a huge amount of wings. Beef fried rice was just okay wouldn't get that again it was pretty bland had to add salt, but them wings is where it's at l'd come back just for that! 100% recommend!”
“They heavily advertise lollipop chicken wings, which are quite delicious. But other items on the menu, like black bean noodles, were also fantastic. At one point, this place was located across the street, which was a point of confusion for someone who hasn’t visited in decades. There were some doubts about new management in recent years but the quality of food remain just as good was in the years past. This is a solid Chinese food option in Albany Park.”
“Wings were phenomenal as always. Tried this noodle dish with a black sauce. And it was fire. This place never fails to be some of the greatest”
“Great Seas’ Lollipop Chicken Wings are hands down some of the best wings out there. They’re crispy, juicy, and coated in a perfect sweet and spicy sauce that’s super addictive. The lollipop cut makes them easy to eat, and every bite is packed with flavor. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing them to go, they never disappoint. Definitely a must-try!”
“I had the Lollipop wings & veggie fried rice ..hot jasmine tea .. everything was good ..nice size portions for the price ..the wings were a wee bit too crispy but were good ..next time I'll ask to cook them just a little less ... OQ”
“Attentive and friendly service, but not much in the way of atmosphere, has a cafeteria feel to it. My son spoke highly of the lollipop chicken, which is what they are known for. We started with vegetable spring rolls and also ordered black mushrooms and cabbage along with vegetable chop suey. All three veggie dishes lacked flavor and imagination, limp in a wet juice that was mostly water. Even with soy sauce and chili paste, they were lifeless. Disappointing.”
“Known for their lollipop chicken (korean fried chicken wings, with the meat pulled into a lollipop shape). Definitely get the lollipop chicken. The jajang mien is pretty good too. Everything else we've tried is decent, but not mind blowing. We got the fried rice this time. It was fine, though I've had better.”
