Lawrence's Fish & Shrimp — reliable seafood in Chinatown. Strong bar program alongside the food, and open late. Swathi sreeshan: "Everything tasted so amazing and the best part was that the shrimps tasted so fresh" [patio]

☀️Patio — a Chinatown classic in summer.
🌙Late night — the kitchen runs past 10.

Don’t order online the drivers will steal your food. Sent me a picture with food still in the car. But never tasted the food I heard in was good, but I wouldn’t know.

When in Chicago you cant ever go wrong with Laurance fisheries. A staple of Chicago for multiple decades and my old stomping grounds in the 70’s. Always ordered 1 pound bag of breaded shrimp in my youth. The staff is always welcoming and great service!!
