A bustling Hong Kong diner . Lazy susans are stuffed with noodles , dumplings and steaming pots of tea . Live lobsters swim in tanks and whole animals hang in the window. Read more

It's been 15 years and it’s always the same: juicy duck with tender, wide, fresh noodles . Pair it with Chinese broccoli , oyster sauce , and barbecue pork , and you’ll eat like a king for $15. Read more

Hands down one of my favorite places to eat in Chicago. The duck , the chicken , the wings , all very memorable. I bring out of towners here to create a lasting impression.

Stephen

Best Chinese place on the North Side. Love the Peking duck special and all their other dishes . Haven't had a Ba dish yet. Cheap but delicious food. One of a kind. I come here weekly for lunch

Nicole Zhu

Two words: duck dinner . It comes with buns , duck fried rice , and duck soup .

Jeff Early

Chinese bbq . This is the best roast pork and duck in town . But everything is great try the beef chow fun . Great value try the rice plates and small plates for a taste

Leland Brewster

The duck truly is amazing and a total steal because the $40 dollar meal with soup , rice , and steamed buns is plenty for 4!

Joe Dodson

Fantastic duck dinner . Order ahead. And if you don't get the duck I'd recommend the pan fried squid . Spicy and delicious.

Chefs Feed

So simple and so unbelievably good. The meat is flavorful and juicy, the skin is crisp, and the rice is the perfect vehicle to soak up the delicious juices . Read more

Chicago Tribune

You must order Peking duck in advance at this Uptown restaurant ; not to make sure the restaurant has the dish, but to make sure it isn't sold out. Reservations , too, are a must. Read more

If you happen to be in Chicago. This place is to die for. Their Crispy Roast Pork and Peking Duck roasted to perfection.

Cole Kennedy

Dang, that’s some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever had, and I don’t just mean the duck . Beef Chow Fun was particularly great.

Kevin K

The duck is in my top 5 meals of all time. We will always come back here for our special days.

duffy deitz

I am addicted to this place! Come hungry & order the whole Peking duck dinner and a cold beer , you won't be disappointed. For around $50 for two, you'll get tea , soup , fried rice and a whole duck car Read more

Duck or you're not doing it right. They also have a good selection of other dishes – I recommend the eggplant , spicy string beans , and hot and sour soup .

David Curiel

First time I went I thought it was amazing, don't visit it often it loses the special quality. Fairly good duck though, and with the sticky buns 😋

ISC Chicago

Roast Pork Over Rice (comes with half a salted duck’s egg and a bowl of soup )

Jillian Jackson

The garlic chips are a great addition too anything! Try the roast pork and duck and you will be satisfied

Renaissance Hotels

The Peking duck is one of the most loved dishes by chefs , critics and other insiders on the city ’s food scene – for good reason. Also, corkage here is absurdly cheap ! Read more

William Perez

This place is the most authentic Chinese Restaurant in the midwest! Food is fresh and made to order! Prices are so cheap you'll do a double take when you look at the check! Best BBQ duck this side of

Alex Duner

Get the duck feast. It's amazing. A whole duck , plus bao buns , rice , soup , and noodles .

Eater

Sure the massive Chinese menu is daunting as hell, but go with a group and you only need to know about one thing: the roasted Peking duck served tableside. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Sruts Sam

BBQ combination, eggplant in garlic sauce and white fish in black bean sauce - some of my recommendations; although everything here looks and tastes good!

D H.R.

Excellent food: Appetizing, a lot on the plate, good value for the money. The owner is very down to earth, and she cares about your food experience.

Stephen

Have a big group. Call ahead and order the baby pig . Delicious! And don't forget the duck !

Laina V

Amazing Peking duck , salt baked chicken , BBQ pork and lechon . Probably one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in Chicago. Don't come here for sweet and sour chicken and egg rolls .

Chicago Tribune

People in the know come here for two things: Peking-style duck and the moist and delicious Mike’s chicken . Read more

Tasting Table

You can't go wrong with any soy selections. Try firm tofu in a casserole , with cubes of fried, shrimp-stuffed tofu simmered in black bean sauce : Read more

Alix Record

Duck , duck and more duck . Other dishes are nice but who needs em? It's crispy but still juicy. It can be addictive

Alisa Li

Beijing duck dinner is delish and great to get if you've got 4+ppl in your group. Table side carving of the duck . Comes with steamed buns , pickled radish , soup & fried rice . Roast pork is good too.

Rachael Chisholm

Yeah,get the duck your first time. Come back for the other bbq stuff and Chinese dishes . Order the good stuff that you don't see on every menu. Don't go on a weekend. They can't handle the demand yet

Autumn Choi

The duck dinner for $45 is SUCH A STEAL. Now it’s no longer BYOB as they have a bar .

Mince Beef with Peas & Egg on Rice 免治牛肉飯

Bruce Neumann

Best Peking Duck in Chicago. Never had a bad thing here, actually...

ISC Chicago

The Peking duck really is worth the trip. It helps to go with a large group so as to be able to try different dishes.

B.B. Wolfe

if you bring food, i will grill and eat it. just don't bring any whiny guy that needs haircut , sitting on a stool squaking his accoustic guitar strings music , or i'll grill you.

Serious Eats

This North Side gem serves the best Peking Duck in the city .

Nisai Mekniti

We've been coming here for number of year ! They have a good and reasonable prices but services are horrible !! They never ever come to ask you how the food is and what's more do you need !!

Michelle L

The duck meal is being added to my rotation of foods I must have when I visit.

The Feast

Undeniably some of the best Chinese barbecue in Chicago, we're convinced there must be some kind of drugs in the sauce because we're hopelessly hooked on the Beijing duck .

Richard Blackwell

Very good value for a large group. Best Chinese food I've had in the city

Feb S

It's arguably one of the best Chinese restaurants in Chicago. The Duck is simply awesome. Other dishes are yummy too!

Robert O'Riley

If you want an entire duck without the full service just get a large order of it from the BBQ menu.

James LaCroix

Order the whole Beijing Duck for a delicious meal that will easily satisfy at least three people.

Tiffany Wong

maybe not the best chinese bbq in chicago, but their duck dinner is a real delight.

Time Out Chicago

Sun Wah’s success is usually attributed to its Beijing duck , the crispy-skinned bird that has the starring role in fried rice , noodle soups and between soft bao buns . Read more

Andrew Griesemer

Half bbq duck if your a hungry dude -- half duck if you're only kind of hungry (seriously)

James Le

$5 Footlong my ass Subway. $5.25 at Sun Wah will get you home cooked rice , duck , chicken and/or pork with veggies and salted egg !

Chad Vivar

The duck service (deservedly) gets most of the attention here, but if I have to pick one bird, I'm going with Mike's Chicken .
