Sweet Station

We recently grabbed lunch at Sweet Station on N Lincoln Ave at Lill Ave in Lincoln Park. It's Sweet Station's second location. We rarely go as far south as Chinatown, and since Sweet Station's original location is in Chinatown, we figured this could be the real deal, and it was. The food was obviously made with fresh ingredients, and was truly authentic Cantonese food. It's also amazingly affordable, especially during lunch. We were about an hour late for lunch, and our server still gave us the lunch rates for our meals. We spent about $15 total for fantastic sit-down meals for the two of us.

The menu can be difficult to decipher for an English speaker. We've gotten very good at speaking in Spanish, Italian, French, and Greek while ordering our food at restaurants, but we weren't totally sure about what we were getting this time as we flubbed our way through a language neither of us know at all. Nevertheless, I expect that any sort of language flub would've still yielded good results at this place. I bet everything's great.

We had the Crab Rangoon to start. We always love Crab Rangoon.



I had the Orange Chicken with chicken fried rice on the side. It was so fresh, and it was delicious. It was served with freshly cut orange slices and broccoli.



My partner loved her meal as well. We'll be back again and again. We've been in Chicago for almost 3 years, and this is our favorite Chinese food by miles.
