Happy Chef - Lincolnwood

2 Lanterns Cafe opened in the former Happy Chef location, in a recently renovated and modern layout. Order a smoothie and a Mongolian beef dinner that were both solid. More articles from 2 Lanterns Cafe are available.

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews about this place. The people there are very nice and the food is great for the price. This place is particularly good for people or students who are on a budget and want cheap Chinese cuisine. They have many items on their menu that usually cost one or two dollars more in other places and they usually give you free egg rolls, cookies and even fried rice for their lunch and dinner specialties. They can't be the best Chinese food, but their portions are really generous and really good for the price.

I've been coming here for years and had to write a review after I bite into the crab weapons. Before I came to it, I lacked the egg roll, which usually comes in the lunch menus, but after biting in the spoon I sold! That was the best crab leaves ever! Fresh, tasty and with most fillings I had in one.. Yay! I gave him a 5 cause that the food was also amazing.. Baked rice especially. And the customer service was great! Not that they make a habit of giving away money, but the cashier discovered me a cent that was great to me! And I pay it again and again! Support the locals and treat yourself to take yummy.. I know I'll be back!
