Lan's Chicago — chinese in Lincoln Park worth a stop for the owner. You're eating the real thing here. Service that's warm without being over the top. Owner on site, BYOB. "The atmosphere was great and especially the food was the best" — Bryan Tecson [$, patio]

🍷BYOB — grab a bottle next door, they'll open it.
☀️Patio — a Lincoln Park classic in summer.

Did the karaoke party - - family style food first then karaoke. The crab rangoon is very good as well as the garlic green beans. The orange chicken head very orange-y. Also came with vegetable egg rolls, vegetable fried rice, sushi, dumplings. I thought the rest of the food was just ok but I'd be willing to go back to try food specifically that I prefer and could order. It's byob but he supplies ice and there is liquor on site. Jimmy creates such a lively, fun vibe!!! Definitely an experience!

One of my favorite places for Chinese takeout! The food gives Chinatown a run for its money. Both quality and quantity are excellent. We love the Mooshu pork and the garlic eggplant. The owner Jimmy is delightfully friendly. Definitely considering this place for my next event! If you're ordering takeout, I'd suggest calling instead of ordering online.
