Chinese food in Chicago is mostly a shocking abomination for a city of that size (in both scale and fatness); while I was there I only found two places who would deliver to me or I could get to that consistently were at least OK: This place was mostly junk but it was at least edible junk, and their noodles were good as hell: http://www.lincolnparknoodlehouse.com/ This place is [expletive] amazing; it's been there for decades, it has the vibe of a sleazy Chinese mafia lounge, and the food is awesome. Sadly, it's kinda pricey, but worth trying: http://www.deesrestaurant.com/ lincoln park noodle house is my go to as well. pretty inexpensive, fast service and they're friendly. again, nothing incredible but consider me a repeat customer
