Editorial Review

This once strictly Chinese restaurant should have kept their chopsticks where they belonged. Expanding the menu to include second-rate sushi was a big Hong Kong phooey. Its unremarkable Wicker-Park-funky dining room of white tablecloths and faux-funky hanging fixtures should be skipped in favor of Chinese the old-fashioned way: delivery. The only saving grace is its sidewalk café.
