Qiao Lin Hotpot - Chicago

We were here on Friday afternoon and Ming was the host for our table. He’s very welcoming and has a super positive attitude. Really enjoyed our experience!!

I took off one star because the wait time can get ridiculous. However, you can’t really see how long the wait is since it depends on how much other people eat. Otherwise, the food is pretty good. I always do one mild and one spicy broth. For people unfamiliar to this, just order the popular items. Yes you will have to cook it yourself. For the price and what you get, the quality is exceptional. Free parking. It’s not in Chinatown but a short drive or Uber ride.

Best-looking bakery in China town. Windows are clean, so you can see all the deliciousness. Always friendly people behind the counter. The milk bread is just fantastic.
