I went after a graduation, and we needed to find a late night spot open to seat seven of us. Thankfully, the Original Triple Crown was open, and the food was great! The egg rolls and crab rangoons were crispy and fresh. The sweet and sour pork, walnut shrimp, stir fried eggplant, clams, string beans, fried tofu, and beef with onions were very delicious and easy to share. The only con was that we got the shredded chicken, and it was very salty. The service was great; they took our order pretty quick and brought out the food fast. They even gave a discount for paying cash. The ambiance is alright; it hard to locate it since it's not on the main street of Wentworth. Additionally, it felt more like a hole in the wall spot compared to other places. It's more of a "if you know you know" spot and sharing a nice comforting meal with a large family.

We went to The Original Triple Crown Restaurant (OTCR) is off the beaten path on 211 W 22nd place. They ordered the salt & spicy smelt (one of my favorite Chinese dishes), fried sea food chow fun noodles, baby bok choy w/garlic. We also ordered clams in black bean sauce. The food was good but not exceptional. Very good service One cool thing about The Original Triple Crown Restaurant is they are open very late. My wife worked the second shift from 3-11pm. On the way home we stopped off @ OTCR for a late night snack. They have a half size & half priced menu items. This is menu isn't just for late night as we were told by the server if we chose to get a smaller portion while we were there

The egg drop soup is great but the egg rolls were off the chain. The inside is very dated but somehow incredibly comforting and charming - reminds me of an 80s banquet hall but the 80s were the best so it's fine by me! (Even the wait staff look straight out of the 80s). I cannot wait to come back! So happy to see that it's still there and doing well, hadn't been in over 20 years. Now only if parking wasn't such a pain but that's chicago for you. Can't wait to come back!

I've been coming here for years, which makes this especially disappointing to say--this place is…read morenot what it used to be. On my last visit, the food was noticeably off. The egg rolls had a strange, unpleasant flavor, it seems as if they used kimchi because of the strong vinegar taste, the crab rangoon was average, and the jumbo shrimp fried rice was the biggest letdown--rubbery, unseasoned shrimp that felt like an afterthought. Only the pepper steak was decent. The service made things worse. When we raised a concern, there was no apology, just a shift in attitude and no follow-up. We were even charged for food we barely touched and had to ask for it to be removed. Also, the pressure to tip at checkout feels inappropriate when the experience doesn't match. After years of being a loyal customer, I won't be returning.

Human Gourmet 4-16-26 Although I have been eating Chinese…read morefood for 70 years, I distinctly remember my first Chinese meal in Chicago's Chinatown on the second floor of the building where dragons guarded the entrance. I was as the most elegant meals in my short life. Unfortunately, it was egg foo yung; I did not like it, although I was polite. Later options were in Cantonese-style rural or Canadian venues until we moved to Chicago. Here, my high-school-age son began dating a Chinese immigrant. Her family opened my eyes to many other styles that my husband and I enjoyed. However, the introduction to Hunan Gourmet's "medium" shocked me when my friend requested it for our combined order. Still, the resulting two days of leftover cumin lamb, eggplant skewers, and pumpkin pancakes convinces me to reassess my personal preferences. I hope to try many dishes from their extensive menu; I will, however, follow the wisdom of Asian customers, who brought cold 6-packs to their tables. Brilliant!

I came here desperately searching for good xiao long bao, so we decided to give Potsticker House a…read moretry. First off, a big plus for having their own parking lot. That alone already reduces stress. There is also plenty of seating, so we did not feel rushed or cramped. The decor is a bit dated, but nothing deal-breaking. Unfortunately, the xiao long bao did not hit the mark. The skin was too thick, and the dumplings themselves were much larger than they should be . The potstickers had the same issue, with thick wrappers overpowering the filling. The spicy wontons were also disappointing. They were mostly wrapper with very little filling, and the spicy sauce was not spicy or flavorful. It just felt like the wontons were coated in oil. On the brighter side, the oxtail casserole was my favorite dish. The flavor was there and the oxtail was nice and tender. Just a heads up, it is quite salty, so it definitely needs to be eaten with rice. The beef noodles were good for me, but my husband thought the broth was a little too sour, which he did not enjoy. Lastly, they have soy milk, which always pairs well with Chinese breakfast-style food and was a nice touch. Overall, some hits and some misses. I was really hoping for better dumplings, but there were a few dishes that showed promise.

My mom and I used to come here for years to pick up some quick dim sum because it was always so…read morebusy. We couldn't find a seat but recently I think it's gone downhill. We walked in Monday early evening, and it was a Ghost Town. Only one person came in after us. We ordered dim sum, and we saw that two items were added to our order that we never ordered. They were potstickers and a Chinese sausage rice. We have potstickers and Chinese sausage at home a lot so we don't go out to buy it. We tend to pick items we can't make at home for dim sum like shrimp dumplings are harder to make at home than a potsticker. The rice came with the Chinese sausage was very old like dry and a little soggy at the same time. I also have never had spare ribs like they did. There was a lack of black bean taste. The turnip cakes were soggy which is weird because you need to pan fry them and it was clear there was some frying but the inside was super goopy. Turnip cake can be a little goopy but mostly it had more integrity than what we got. The only good things we had were the fried shrimp rolls and the pumpkin rolls. The stuff that was deep-fried. And I noticed that one item I did order ended up not being added to our check so we were never given that. I don't think I can come back here for dim sum anymore. it was a $46 meal of sad items. Not worth the price. Maybe we'd come for entrées. Someone got fried rice and noodles and those looked decent but I wasn't able to see up close.

It has a lot of history and baggage and manners baked into it. We went for dinner (although they do serve dim sum during the daytimes). It is a standard menu (multiple variations for beef, chicken, seafood, veg, etc). The food is familiar but a little bit "brighter" than the usual takeout places that dot along the strip malls. We had the typical beef spareribs, General Tso's chicken, honey walnut shrimp... but we also had an off-menu eel dish. Secrets! But what separates this place is that this is where the locals end up eating (we saw plenty that evening). Maybe it's the familiarity or the lack of tourism marketing. It's not exactly traditional, but is not exactly high-concept-fusion. Just a place where the locals meet up when they don't to cook in.

But I decided to give it another shot and I am really glad I did. The restaurant has been redecorated and it makes a real difference. It feels fresher, more inviting, and worth walking into again. For those who don't know, Lee Wing Wah sits in the heart of Chinatown Square, which is one of the most competitive dining areas in the city. There are great restaurants practically steps away in every direction, so the fact that this place has held its own and kept its doors open over the years says something. Longevity in Chinatown is not easy to come by and they have earned it. The menu offers a decent variety of dishes at fair prices, and what I found interesting is that the food leans ever so slightly toward an American friendly style while still holding onto its authentic Chinese flavors. It's a nice balance that makes it approachable for people who might not be as familiar with traditional Chinese cuisine. If you want to get a feel for what they offer before you go, check out their menu at leewingwah.com so you can walk in with a game plan. A few things to keep in mind before your visit. The atmosphere is most enjoyable when the place is not packed, so timing your visit during off peak hours makes for a much better experience. If you arrive and it's crowded, no stress at all since there are plenty of other fantastic options just a short walk away in Chinatown Square. The food is solid, the prices are fair, and the refresh on the interior gives it a new energy that makes it feel worth rediscovering.
