“Drop everything that your doing and run to this delicious hot spot located in the heart of Albany Park in Chicago.”

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.”

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.”

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.

“Great Seas’ Lollipop Chicken Wings are hands down some of the best wings out there.”

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!

“So happy I found this place.”

So happy I found this place! Service is welcoming and fantastic. Prices are fair. The food was incredible. The lollipop wings were plentiful and the sauce they came in was incredible. The egg rolls ere also a home run. I can only assume the rest of the menu is the same quality.

A nice place to visit! Very clean and large. We ordered the popular lollipop wings, kung pao, and shrimp fried rice. Food is amazing, especially the wings, they are crispy and juicy. Will visit again for other food!!

“Their food is literally HEAVEN.”

Their food is literally HEAVEN! The lollipop wings were my childhood, but it got closed down near where I lived. However, I discovered this hidden gem 4 years ago and I'm very happy they are near where I live. On New Years Day, I decided to treat my aunt and cousin for a fancy dinner and they were amazed by how it looked. We ordered a TON of food (egg soup, Crab Rangoon, lollipop wings, chicken fried rice, and boba). The staff was really nice and welcoming, especially when they complimented on the christmas sweater that lights up the room, which they were eyeing on for a minute, which I didn't mind since I was in a really good mood for the holidays! Only small downside is that they may make you to add a tip to the receipt if you pay in card. I personally leave tips in cash as it is more convenient and reliable for me. Either way, this place has earned 5 🌟!

“It’s been a while since I been to Great Seas.”

It’s been a while since I been to Great Seas. Have to say the taste really brings me back to life before stresses were in life. So, always nostalgic and good memories. So let me get into it! Food: Over the years and owner change I have to say the quality is good. Not like when I had it back in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I have to say the taste and the portion sizing has changed. I would still get the wings or the sweet and sour pork or the black bean noodles since they are very tasty. Service: Have to say the last time I was at the restaurant the service was good. Atmosphere: Or ambiance like I call it, overall matched the experience. People and seeing how happy everyone was really made it feel like it was a great spot! Overall, I have to say that you won’t be disappointed. Definitely try the lollipop wings, sweet and sour pork, Mongolians beef, and black bean noodles.

“Absolutely loved it.”

Absolutely loved it. The wings were great and the sweet and sour pork was wonderful. I definitely recommend eating there as I don’t know how crispy either would be after traveling. I liked the ambiance of the place and service was fast and efficient. No splitting checks.
