"Consistently excellent food at this location; very inventive dishes. The drinks were imaginative if a little watered down. My main issue has been the service there the servers seem to only wait on you if you flag them down I've never gotten in and out of this restaurant in less than 2 hours, no matter how quickly we place our order. They will never bring the bill unless you flag down multiple people for it. Service has always been friendly, however. Go for the food, just make sure you have a whole evening to carve out for it."

I knew the food would be good, Lao Sze Chuan is well known all over Chicago for having great food. The wait staff was great, as well.

They may have two different kind of chefs, one is cooking traditional Chinese food, the other one is cooking Chinese food in American style. No Chinese waiter and waitress are there. The food is not good as the same name restaurant in Chicago Chinatown. The baked rice soup is too sweet, chilly bean pasted fish is wrongly cooked, even the Kong po chicken is very hard, not tender.

Thought the moo shu and the green beans were exceptional. Disappointed in the Scallops and should have known better but my friend was relying on the recommendation of the server and frankly his recommendation wasn 't good. We aren 't at Joes Seafood and scallops in an Asian restaurant, well you fill in the rest. For all we spent and it wasn 't cheap, they charged us $1.50 for 3 extra pancakes for the moo shu really? That just seems very tacky and trivial.
