“Chicago’s Chinatown is fantastic for food and Chinese culture lovers.”

Chicago’s Chinatown is fantastic for food and Chinese culture lovers. There are tons of Asian restaurants, dessert shops, hair salons, and gift shops. I could get my food here forever. Every restaurant that I have been to doesn’t make me disappointed. Everything is delicious including Cantonese dim sum, Szechuan hotpot, bbq, Korean fried chicken, pho, various noodles, boba, and sushi. There are also some Chinese live shows at the large square.

There’s a ton of Asian food, products, drinks, and souvenirs you can see in the area and it’s honestly great to just walk around and window shop. I did find all the buildings while driving cool to look at as well. Make sure to come fairly early on Saturdays or Sundays especially since it gets packed really quickly in the parkling lot & restaurants if you’re planning on eating. There’s 2 floors and majority of the bigger restaurants are on the 1st floor and the snacky shops, drink shops, and souvenir shops are on the 2nd floor. They’ve also got all the Zodiac animals in the small plaza area right outside of the store areas. Overall, an interesting place to go whether you’re Chinese or not to just explore and try out some stuff.

Impromptu trip to the city and we ended up over here. People were polite and the area was clean. The food was some of the best I’ve had! You can go any shop and leave happy. There is such a great community here.
