    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.

      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 :(

    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.

      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.

      @Tubebrerry 6 років тому +2

      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.

    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.
