Chicago's Best Chinese: Chi Tung

[@shouryamalhotra7174]

I think the guy forgot to mention that his staff is hard working...

This restaurant looks awesome, and that owner looks like one outstanding businessman. This place should expand out across the country. I love the idea of pan-Asian restaurants, serving all the different cuisines; why not have one stop for Chinese, Japanese, Thai? Even add Korean, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indonesian, Malaysian, Singapore! The best part is that all the food culturally cross-contaminates, as in New Orleans, and new dishes get born. The future of America is people like this owner.

[@cjc2611]

I've seen many that try this model, yet it almost never works due to inconsistencies and sub-par cuisine. Although, it seems this restaraunt cooks quality dishes that are true to their respective roots. However, I've never eaten here :(

[@MarathiCricketCompany]

He has basically replicated a chinese iphone factory model

[@benisisballin]

I live pretty close to this place and there was a chef that used to work there that quit because he hated the owner. He opened his own Chinese restaurant using his own recipes and it takes so much better than chi-tung. His place has a way better menu too.

[@afalcon217]

Mind telling me the place?

[@jaeartell3512]

+benisisballin where is this place my gf has a b day next week

[@nubianlegalmind]

I LOOOOOOOVE this place. He didn't really get into it, but their Hibachi steakhouse is phenomenal. I mean, it's better than Benihana's. This place is for real folks. Second to none.

[@Jwalk2urheart]

cause its mostly american chinese food thats why lol

[@jja08]

as a Chinese, I can say this is better than some other restaurant out there.

[@mattcavy4459]

Its because they are all working in the back

[@MatrixDiscovery]

Not real Chinese food.

[@monicapulido22]

I'm definitely going there and the good thing is I'm not to far from the restaurant...The food looks amazing. I always doubt this place because I wasn't sure if the food was good but now looking at this video there is no doubt for sure....

[@febinjose7802]

Its magic

[@RyanMadsen67]

Yeah they deliver anywhere but what they don’t tell you how much they charge for that and of course you get your food in two minutes that’s because everything in the back is microwaved

[@johhnmorgan8329]

Without strict health laws they put a dead mouse in the food

[@jedininja3603]

The host looks like Bobby Flay's little brother

[@christinenordena3738]

Whoa! Chi Tung? I’m Asian and while it doesn’t make me an expert in all things Asian, this place lacks authenticity. HOWEVER, it is clean, they are busy so you know the food is fresh, and for an American palate it is actually fine but to call it Chicago’s best is a stretch! No, no, no. One thing to note though, there aren’t too many Asians in Evergreen Park, Oaklawn, and the surrounding Chicago area. So to expect Asian diners is very unlikely.

[@momojijijiji]

the host is handsome I like him

OMG !!!! I really loved this place and would go often. Great Chinese, Japanese, and Thai, until a friend of my sisters actually saw a mouse on her table. For that reason I am out. They apologized and offered her a drink. Done ✅

its okay to be funny , but let the owner talk more

That's not real Chinese food. That's y they can cook it so fast, plus it's tepanyaki not habichi

[@daniterry4922]

Too salty...and dusty in the restaurant

[@danteblue100]

Surprised to see Chinese cooks, expected Mexican cooks.

[@shanebell1]

They are slaves from china. Hed lose money paying for mexican workers. He repeats happy employee but if the building was taller theyd put in nets. Sweatshop work so the boss can have his cocain n hookers.

[@MrDzareel]

Mate thats a sweatshop😂

[@cbc9002]

Love shows tropics replace the host. Dorkiest too Jerry Lewis.

[@edmondlau511]

This place is incredibly overrated. If you're going to do Chinese, Thai and Japanese food, you can probably one of them well but no way you can do all of them well. Ate here in 2012 and never went back. Many places are better than this place.

[@cdreyes81]

Someone must complain about something.

[@jshshh1041]

There's gotta be something shady going on. Seems like an impossible business model. He's paying a HUNDRED employees every day? They have to put out an order every 8 seconds to make money?

[@intrepidnick2939]

What blows my mind is the delivery. So I could order from him even though I'm 25 minutes away without rush hour? That seems nuts.

[@menone2606]

You don't understand !!! *They Wok ing hard !!!*

[@kentallard8852]

vegetables and noodles/rice + cheap cuts of meat are all low cost, they're then sold at a higher price. He probably doesn't pay the cooks much more than minimum wage of course. The staff numbers are there because of the volume of sales, if the sales were less the staff would be smaller.

[@foodjam9193]

Hahaha your silly man

[@jocelyncardona1165]

Probably doesnt care about delivery because hes signed up with doordash... his employees arent making deliveries...i work for doordash and have delivered food. Food was not done in 8 seconds and i had a 45 min commute to deliver food. I dont accept orders from there anymore.

The time honored advice for judging the quality of Chinese restaurants is the more Chinese customers (bonus points if they can't speak English), the better the restaurant.

[@missmya3972]

I was told that if there are little to no Chinese customers in a Chinese restaurant then it is not authentic and keep going...

[@ChrisGugliuzza]

missmya3972 I don't think they cater as being authentic. It's mostly Americanized Chinese food

[@memeupweathersby1891]

missmya3972 I've been here it's actually really good! !

[@Tubebrerry]

missymya3972, that's the attitude of Chinese-Americans or Chinese immigrants who feel more affinity for China than for their own, or newly adopted, country. Obviously if you're fresh off the boat and you're used to old world Chinese food, then you're not going to like Chinese-American. On the other hand, if you've been in America for generations, then you're going to like Chinese-American just as much as any other American would. It's not about the food, it's about your national identity and where your loyalty lies.

[@lkiing]

I'm Chinese and I just think that's snobbish. If it is good, it is good. I stick with some of the authentic restaurants that serve mostly to Chinese because I am used to that food and can stomach it. But just because it is authentic, it doesn't mean it is automatically good for everyone.

[@geeman215]

What should they do? Go down to Chinatown & hire plants? Does your theory hold for Pizza joints. Go check their parking lot. It's ALWAYS FULL...
