Sun Wah Bbq - Chicago

The duck service is fun. The duck is delightful but the rice and the soup leave something to be desired. We came with a huge party...like honestly a little too huge for this establishment but they did the best they could on a busy Saturday night. The service seemed a little disorganized. I believe our host reserved the table and pre-ordered 3 ducks but it was not going to be enough for the party so we ended up ordering more...but since they wait to bring the rice and soup until all the duck is served, we ended up devouring the 3 ducks and sitting impatiently like a hungry pack of jackals waiting for the rest. Parking was kind of a nightmare. Not sure why the lot right next door was completely closed. But not much street parking to be had. I think with either a much smaller group or a little better advance planning there may have been less confusion and delay in getting our food. Not blaming the establishment at all. The duck carver sliced the duck up with precision and skill, very impressive! Also the price is right at $55 to feed 4 people. Even with all the additions and drinks and whatnot, splitting the bill evenly between 20 people came out to around $25 per person which I guess isn't too terrible. Next time though I'll go as a duo or trio so I don't have to share as much lol.

The food, especially the duck, is phenomenal, but if you don't get the whole duck, you get bad cuts. Like lotsa back and neck bone. The service, even for Hong-Kong-style dining is atrocious to just about neglectful.

Food was good but the server couldn't speak English at all. This is an extremely busy place so be ready to be ignored for a considerable amount of time.

Chose Sun Wah for my graduation dinner and it was incredible! We ordered the duck dinner (a whole roasted duck with fixings like bao buns, julienned and pickled veggies, spicy chilli sauce and a hoisin sauce, duck fried rice and a wholesome soup). While this is suggested for 2 4, people, it could definitely satisfy 4 hungry people. It was delicious! The crunchy skin on the duck is perfectly complemented by the spicy sauces and the freshness of the vegetables. We also ordered the fried scallops unlike other fried seafood dishes, the batter on this one was thin, letting the plump scallop shine through. The pepper pork chops were similarly delicious, although they had a lot more fatty meat than I would have liked. The cherry on top is of course, the BYOB! There is a $10 corkage fee for wine but overall makes for a fun, get your hands dirty dining experience!

I love this place and have been here twice to get the Beijing Duck. It's not only delicious but a great deal as well! With the Beijing Duck you get the Peking Duck with the works (buns, scallions, hoisin sauce), a duck fried rice, and a duck based soup. It's not on the main menu however, and if you want it guaranteed that there will be enough when you get there you should let the restaurant know you'll be ordering it when you make your reservation. It's just a superb tasting duck and cannot recommend highly enough. Then my party also ordered the egg rolls, the eggplant stuffed with shrimp, and the Chinese broccoli with oyster sauce. These were also good (I just wish I had gotten the stir fried Chinese broccoli, as the one we got had all the stems on the bottom which actually weren't that tasty). However, everything else was delicious. Highly recommend coming here to get the Beijing Duck specifically!
