After the Great Fire of 1871, Chicago needed help to rebuild, which drew many of these new immigrants to the city for the first time. The Cantonese cuisine they brought with them would become the most well-known style of Chinese food in America for nearly the next hundred years
Chicago offers fantastic Chinese food! Top recommendations include MingHin Cuisine (dim sum), Duck Duck Goat (Chinese-American), Shanghai Terrace (fine dining), Lao Sze Chuan (Sichuan), and Sun Wah BBQ (Peking duck). Qing Xiang Yuan Dumplings is also excellent for dumplings.
