About

At Lao Sze Chuan in Downtown Chicago, diners are invited to experience the vibrant flavors of Sichuan cuisine amidst a casual, yet trendy atmosphere. Located within The Shops at North Bridge, this cozy spot is popular for its delectable dim sum and hearty dinner options. While enjoying a notable selection of tea and a bar offering everything from cocktails to organic dishes, guests can even watch as a friendly robot zooms around delivering meals! Though service can be hit or miss during busy times, the food, especially the Peking duck and flavorful small plates, makes it a worthwhile stop for lunch or solo dining.

Review by Destin Murphy

Lao Sze Chuan is a gem nestled on Michigan Ave! 🌟 I stopped by for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the bustling menu options. The dim sum selection was fantastic - especially the fresh shrimp dumplings and sesame balls.

A highlight was the cute kitty robot that delivered my food, adding a quirky touch to the experience! The atmosphere was cozy, perfect for a solo dining adventure or a casual meal with friends.

Sure, service was a tad slow due to staffing, but the delicious flavors made it worth it. Can't wait to return for more! 🍜✨
