Try General Lee's up in Lakeview, it's pretty good too. Here's a tip: If you order in a Chinese accent and say your name is Tommy Chang they'll treat you with special service. My friend ordered once in his normal, American accent and they told him delivery hours were over. He called back though and ordered in a Chinese accent and said his name was "Tommy Chang" and he somehow convinced them to deliver. The delivery man was pretty shocked though when he saw everybody in the house though was all black, white or latino. But hey, we were all eating Chinese food at the end of the day none the less.

Eat First is so NASTY! my roommates and I ordered from the location on Belmont and I was so disappointed (I'm pretty sure the shrimp fried rice doesn't use real shrimp, more like dehydrated krill or something!). I tried the location you mentioned and it was just as bad (though I liked the smoothie). thank god I live fairly close to Chinatown, Eat First made me worried about the Chinese food selection in Chicago!

I didn't know they had a location on Belmont but it should close down along with the one in WP. If anyone tells you that place is good they are not to be trusted.

Great Sea Chinese/Korean restaurant on Lawrence in Albany Park

The spicy chicken wings=orgasm in taste form.

The shrimp fried rice isn't that good though, the shrimp is huge and awesome, but the rice itself is too wet compared to other Chinese joints.

I thought the OP was asking about places that deliver to Buena Park and Lake View?

Why are people naming places that most likely do not deliver to that area?

However, maybe this thread can be used as the best Chinese places thread in Chicago. So there is an upside to it.

Yes I agree Pot Pan is pretty good. As far as Thai in WP goes, it's better than Penny's (though Penny's is so freaking close to me it's hard to turn down on occasion).

Thanks for the forum suggestion LK.

Take a trip to Chinatown... Been to the Mayflower and had some dam good sesame chicken. Joyees is pretty decent and has a few locations.

Best Chineese food Ive ever had was in Colorado I think about that place weekly.

California has great Chinese food.

I don't eat chinese much, but that's partially becuase it all tastes the same to me. I didn't realize there were actually "good' or "bad" chinese restaurants. But then, I've never actually eaten in a Chinatown restaurant, maybe that would change my mind.
