I’ve been wanting to check out 3 Little Pigs for a while and so glad I finally did (and will be back very soon). They are an awesome addition to the South Loop. We ordered for delivery via Uber eats and everything stayed fresh on its way to us. Ordering takeout can be a hit or miss especially with fried chicken and it maintained its crispiness in transit. We loved all of the sauces we tried, especially the BBQ sauce, which went especially well with the crispy chicken. Their orange sauce was bright and citrusy, and the hot mustard was a great choice to add in with the veggie spring rolls. The flavor of everything was excellent and definitely want to check out the chicken sandwiches and burger next!

Nothing we ordered was good. The chicken was greasy, chewy and fatty with no seasoning. The pork was rubbery. Rice was overcooked. Would give it 0 stars if I could.

Excellent takeout experience at 3 Little Pigs in River North. Especially pleased by the value; prices are excellent considering the portions and quality. I love the attention to detail in the cooking: orange chicken is drizzled with sauce instead of soaked to keep it crispy, and fresh orange wedges are provided to hit it with extra flavor; vegetable fried rice has a hint of smoky flavor from the wok; salt and pepper chicken made with succulent, dark meat and evenly cut, generous slices of jalapeno. We also had the Mongolian vegetables which was a well-sauced tofu and green beans, and the curly fries that were fresh and crispy.
I was hesitant to visit due to some negative reviews, but it seems like they’ve worked out whatever kinks led to past negative experiences. With a local, small business, I think some growing pains are to be expected. But you can’t beat food made with love by members of the community. I would recommend ordering direct and picking up if possible so that you’re getting the freshest version of these tasty items, although I found the leftovers reheated well the next day. At the River North location, there is no seating yet, so be prepared to take home or eat at a nearby park.

Came here because of a couple of YouTube videos. Most of our food was cold. My wife got the lunch special with OG salt pepper chicken. Chicken was cold and didn’t taste right (tasted like 2 days old leftover). Her stomach didn’t feel right after. The salt pepper chicken sandwich is good but was luke warm at best. The lemon pepper chicken rice plate is good. Pork fried rice is pretty good as well. There is a kiosk to order your food and a pick up counter at the cupcake place.

Got the salt and pepper fried chicken sandwich because how could I not. It survived my 20-minute walk back to my lodging, and it was perfectly crisp and seasoned. The fries looked a little sad, and the service was a bit odd. I placed an order online while walking over, and when I arrived, the server decided to leave and didn’t come back for a bit even though the line was growing. I did eventually get my order, and am so glad I gave this a try. I grew up eating salt and pepper chicken with rice and other dishes around the dinner table, so this gave me all the feels.

We drove from TCs and this was the SPOT. Told the owner how hard it was for us to make it here. They were closed for a special event but owner had his crew whip up some omakase and it HITS HARD!

This place is so hyped up on every social media channel from TikTok to Instagram, and I was happy to finally try it! It’s a takeout-only Chinese-American restaurant specializing in their BBQ pork and fried chicken offerings. You can place your order for 30 minute pick-up time slots starting at 9:30pm the night before.
Based on my experience, though the food was good and the pickup was seamless, I do think it was overall a bit underwhelming and overhyped. My friend and I shared fries and crab rangoons. I got the BBQ chicken sandwich and my friend got the Lemon Pepper Chicken & BBQ Pork combo.
The fries were really good: they were crispy and were flavored with a unique and distinctly umami seasoning. The crab rangoons were also great: very crispy exterior paired with an exceptionally creamy cream cheese-y interior. Definitely one of the best crab rangoons I’ve had.
The BBQ chicken sandwich was good, but really messy to eat and the bread was pretty smushed. The chicken was well-fried though, and the BBQ sauce— though unevenly and kind of scantily applied— was really delicious and flavorful. The chicken & BBQ pork combo plate was kind of skimpy— based on the photo on the order form, we expected there to be more meat in it, but there were only a few small pieces of each, which was disappointing. The BBQ pork was very flavorful and tender though, and the chicken had a good fry and flavor profile.
The main disappointment was that there were NO utensils or napkins provided with the food, which my friend and I didn’t realize until we had already walked to a nearby park to eat the food… making for a pretty messy meal. So if you plan to eat outside, definitely remember to bring your own napkins and utensils.
The prices are a bit expensive too— with tip, tax, and processing fees, it ended up being ~$32 each. The menu is also not good for vegetarians unfortunately— hoping they can add some BBQ / fried vegetarian options in the future!

Their new item Chicago Beef sandwich with Chili Oil Giardinara and ‘hot pot dip’ is the perfect melding of east-meets-midwest fusion food that pairs amazingly together! I actually think I Like it better than a classic Chicago-style Italian Beef dip sandwich! Worth the trip! The spicy chicken sandwich continues to be great, if not better this time (the photo posted shows the chicken sandwich covered in the yummy spicy sauce!)
My only ding this time was the saltiness of the lemon pepper chicken and the smaller portion for the combo platter even though I paid extra for more chicken (see photo)…compared to our photos of similar dishes from their old ghost kitchen location, the fried rice and chicken isn’t as generous of a portion, especially when I paid for extra chicken.

We decided to go back now that they moved to their new shared kitchen off of wabash in a shared space with Molly’s cupcakes.
Loved the food! Just as good as when we visited at their ghost kitchen space! The chicken sandwiches were amazing ad always! And this time we decided to try their version orange chicken. The crunchy fried chicken bites that are his signature goes so well with his sweet orange sauce! My only wish was that there was more sauce! But I appreciate it being on the side to keep the chicken crunchy! The combo fried rice was amazing as always!
We were also bummed there wasn’t Crab/cream cheese rangoons. Please bring that dish back!
3 Little Pigs Chi is a delightful Chinese-American style cuisine! I love their chicken sandwiches, in particular their salt and pepper chicken sandwiches. This time we decided to go with their entrée dishes and they did not disappoint! If you’re looking for soy sauce fried rice and fried food dishes, this is one place that’ll hit rhe spot! The portions are very generous and the even my appetite is satiated!
I also really enjoy the bbq pork (char siew)…while not traditional, it has a nice char and is covered in the Chinese bbq sauce that is makes the caramelised burnt bits and the sweet sauce go so well with some fried rice….I am a huge fan of their shrimp fried rice and their egg fried rice is also yummy!
You’ll have to get the food to go as there is no seating. Some be prepared to get it home asap so you can enjoy the crispness of the dishes!

It’s been two days and I’m still thinking of the Salt & Pepper Chicken Sandwich. The seasoned batter seemed like a tempura/dredge hybrid, as it was super crunchy while remaining delicate and not masking the chicken, which was plump and juicy. Garlic mayo and blistered jalapeños complimented the seasoning and meat perfectly. This is my new favorite chicken sandwich! Also got to try the shrimp fried rice—excellent flavors, a good number of medium sized shrimp—which I kept going back to despite being full, and I was able to get a few bites of the Char Siu, which had a beautiful glaze, nicely balanced between sweet and savory, that coated the melt-in-your-mouth pork perfectly. Can’t wait to go back next time I’m in town!

The place can get really confusing to order food from. Make sure you are on the website by 10 PM CST on Thursday for Friday pickup. Same thing applies for Saturday and Sunday pickup.
Getting to the main part… The food overall was decent. I’ve had food at this place twice so far. It felt the food was soggy (Chicken BBQ Sandwich and Char Siu). The Char Siu unfortunately didnt have any flavor, maybe it was left out in the open too long.
We really liked the 3LP Fried rice though, that was really great. the Lemon pepper chicken was ok too.
Maybe will try the place again soon, and hopefully the experience is good overall.
