Solid Chinese food! We ordered the twice cooked pork, cucumber salad, and the lamb. I think the lamb was probably the strongest dish: the lamb was super flavorful and juicy. While their spicy cucumber salad definitely had quite the kick, I also found it quite refreshing, which I appreciated. The pork might have been the weakest dish, though even there the meat was quite tasty. Also appreciated that it wasn’t hard to get a table on a Friday night – definitely recommend for anyone looking for their fix for spice/Chinese food!

I have been to many many Chinese and Sichuanese restaurants in Chicago. Chef Xiong’s is hands down the best I have had and super authentic. Chef Xiong himself is very friendly and always comes out the kitchen periodically to greet the customers and asking for feedback. His staff are always very attentive. I recommend dine in if you can, because food comes out the most fresh and tasty that way. The chef himself is also trained in Sichuanese cuisine and is very knowledgeable when it comes to cooking. His restaurant is my go to restaurant when I have friends visiting in town or when I organize a get together. My friends(Chinese and Non-Asians) all love his food SO much!!

First timer at Chef Xiong and was impressed! The authenticity of the Sichuan cuisine was on point. Definitely recommend the spicy fried chicken, green beans, and mapo tofu. Prices are very reasonable for the portions you get as well. The dining room is also warm and inviting. Would definitely return when in the area.

Aah Chef Xiong is always so delicious and a must-go whenever I’m visiting Chicago. It’s usually not too busy whenever I come (never had to queue before), but I feel like it is much more deserving of ~social media fame~ than some of the suggestions I see online nowadays. I digress.

Honestly all their dishes I’ve tried have been fantastic, so some highlights:

— Szechuan jelly noodle w black bean sauce (青椒豆豉涼粉) have a wonderfully springy/chewy texture, and I love that you can taste the fresh flavour of the noodles themselves. The chili bean sauce was sooo yummy — definitely has a kick — and I love the crisp (clean!) spicy flavour that pairs well with the refreshing taste of the jelly noodles.

— Chongqing popcorn chicken (重慶辣子雞) – maybe my favourite dish here (a bit hard to say, since everything was so good). It comes in a really cute chicken-shaped basket. The chicken bites were really crispy without having too oily of an exterior, and the generous portion of chilli peppers made it Really Quite spicy.

— Kung pao chicken (宮保雞丁) is always a classic and Chef Xiong’s is no different. I loved the slightly sweet sauce (I​ definitely prefer it to the Cantonese/southern-style kung pao chicken), and the savoury juicy flavour of the chicken pieces was great, too.

— For a non-spicy contrast I like to order the Chinese jajangmyeon (炸醬麵) – the noodles were perfectly cooked, meat sauce rich and filling, and it gave our burning taste buds periodic breaks in between everything else. It’s also really inexpensive for the huge portion size.

— I’ve also tried smaller dishes like the mapo tofu (麻婆豆腐) and wontons in chilli sauce (紅油抄手), which are all delicious too, though I think they don’t stand out as much as the other dishes I mentioned.

Overall, I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. I loved everything we ordered, and the price point for the large portions and deliciously authentic food is just the cherry on top. Already thinking about my next visit here 🙂

We would like to have some dumplings or seafood noodles for lunch on our last day of this Chicago Christmas trip. However, those restaurants were quite full during lunchtime. I was surprised this authentic Szechuan restaurant had a lot of seats.
Honestly, their spicy food was amazing and authentic. We got a lot of spicy dumplings and popcorn chicken, even though our stomach had got hurt by spicy hotpot. We definitely will come back and have more spicy food with stronger stomachs. A free bowl of rice came with entrees. Their service was great. Some American Chinese dishes and chef specials were also available.

When someone says they would like their fried rice spicy, I don’t think it means to put 50 pieces of jalapeños in a container this size. A bit overkill. Ordered a spicy Shrimp fried rice. 4 pieces of shrimp, 50 pieces of jalapeños—not a good balance there.

As soon you walk in you are welcomed and seated quickly. The restaurant is decorated so beautifully and the wine glasses on the table were a nice touch. Very classy!

We actually met Chef Xiong and he is very kind and professional. The food was amazing!!!!! My family and I enjoyed everything.

The service was fast and friendly and the restaurant appeared to be spotless. The menu has a really good selection and we will be stopping by again to try out some new items on it.

Best wishes to you Chef Xiong 🙂

I prefer dinning in instead of doing the takeout, it tastes better.

In general their food is pretty consistent. The Beijing duck comes with only 5 thin slices of wrap and you need to pay extra for more wraps. This is quite weird to me since it doesn’t make sense for the portions, and most of places the extra wraps are free at least they should be putting enough wraps to match the amount of other ingredients.
