“Very delicious place. The food was amazing and it was very affordable as well.”
“Everything was the best if I could do a higher rating I would”
“Lao Sze Chuan on Broadway is easily one of the best spots for authentic Chinese food in Uptown. The space has a great, laidback vibe, the service is incredibly friendly, and the food always hits the spot. The portions are huge and perfect for sharing. Highly recommend! So good I finished everything.”
“The food is very tasty and the staff is very pleasant. We love the lemon shrimp a lot and the crab Rangoon. The chicken was super good with the right amount of spice.”
“I live nearby, go there almost 3 times a week. Not many people dine in, and they’re always busy with takeouts - this might be the only downside. The food is amazing, they have Cantonese chef and sichuan cuisine chef, thus I could always order different dishes. The steamed fish is the same as I eat back in hongkong, they’ll go to the supermarket on the opposite side to buy the fresh fish! The roasted duck is the Peiking style, love it! Even the duck rack is sooooo tasty!”
“Ordered the General Tao’s Chicken (non-spicy). The portion is big and really filling. The chicken tastes great, though the sauce is a bit too sweet for me. It comes with rice, and for the price, I’d say it’s a good deal!”
“wow i am truly so picky this is amazing best chinese in chicago full of flavors and perfect consistency it is mouth watering i cant wait to order again everything is wow beyond wow impressed very greatful and happy satisfying got fried rice chilli chicken and won ton soup wow everything is amazing”
“Normally, I have a great experience with this location but unfortunately this time it missed the mark... the food looked great and my order was delivered in a timely manner, but there was some sort of bug larvae in my meal (garlic peapod leaves) that I did not expect and I couldn't work up the appetite to eat the food.”
