Get Some Dim Sum At Three Happiness



Chicago's Chinatown isn't large, compared to the Chinatowns in San Francisco or New York, but it has a flavor all its own. And when my extended family comes to town, it's practically traditional for us to have dim sum at Three Happiness.

If you like the dim sum experience--getting your  food from little plates straight off the metal carts as they wheel around the room--then this place is perfect: it's casual ...

Joy Yee Noodle



In the up and coming University Village near UIC and the Medical center, you'll find Joy Yee Noodles, a vibrant Pan-Asian restaurant whose menu is as reliable as it is extensive.  The walls are painted an unexpected bright kiwi and traditional Chinese red paper lanterns hang from the ceiling.  Delicate black tables and chairs evenly spaced throughout the dining room complete this simple yet modern look.  But the menu is everything but simple.  ...

Get A Slice of Heaven on Seven



When I worked downtown, one of my very favorite places to go for lunch was Heaven on Seven on Wabash. This local chain of Cajun and Creole restaurants remains one of my preferred food spots, even though I don't get to visit as often as I'd like! I highly recommend the crab cakes with a cup of gumbo on the side. Don't forget to try some of the many hot ...
