This is the best Chinese food in the city. Affordable, delicious and made with fresh ingredients with authentic flavors. They moved from old town (Sedgewick st) to cortland and Elston. Much larger space with TV’s and GREAT Karaoke. They do Karaoke parties of all sizes on Friday's and Saturdays. Or any other nights for enough people. It’s like $40 a person for 7 courses of food and it’s BYOB. SO much fun.

So often are we bombarded with ads and corporate bs 24/7. Take a break - come to Lan's, a neighborhood gem with good food, easy drinks, and little whimsy that tells me - this is what America is about.

Lan's Chicago is the best Chinese spot in Chicago according to customers. The Mongolian beef and Kung pao chicken are outstanding, while the hot and sour soup is rich and flavorful. The space is big and the vibes are great, especially when karaoke starts at 10:30 pm. Customers love the potstickers, egg rolls, and green beans, calling them the best in the city. The owner, Jimmy, has been doing a fantastic job since the 80s. The restaurant uses high-quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and great spice. Their dried chilli hot sauce is made in-house and is so good that many customers ask to take some home. This is not your typical Americanized Chinese food, and the full bar adds to the experience. Jimmy is known for making guests feel special, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The place is especially popular for karaoke birthday parties, offering fun, great food, and amazing staff. Visitors often describe Jimmy as a legend, and many say they will keep coming back. Don't miss out on this incredible spot!
