Lemon pepper chicken dinner is out of control good. Fried rice is just ok to me. Feel like going with the jasmine rice for the healthier option is the better move - even though the reviews on yelp say differently. read more

Being my first time in Chicago, I definitely had to try 3LP as it was highly recommended by all my friends. And boy, my mouth is still watering from the thought of the salt and pepper fried chicken sandwich! Juicy, crispy and huge-- I devoured it so quickly after taking that first bite that I didn't even have time to let the camera eat first. Best fried chicken sandwich handsdown! The bbq pork was also another standout with its sweet and tender goodness! And can we talk about how cute the takeout bag is? read more

Combo Box - BBQ Pork, Salt & Pepper Chicken, Veggie Fried Rice Really tasty combo box. Proper taste and texture on fried rice. BBQ Pork was saucier and sweeter than traditional version but still good. Both pork and chicken were flavorful and tender. I like that they used chicken thighs. I would return to try more of the menu. Carry out only. read more

When I researched food spots to hit up on my visit to Chicago, I stumbled upon 3 Little Pigs and was really looking forward to this spot. Came here on a Thursday afternoon. The place is inside another store which threw me off since I watched YouTube vid of this place and had a different vibe. Placed my order in a kiosk and waited for my order. Sat at a table with a swing. The place didn't smell like bbq food which makes me think that the food is not made at the store itself... ended up ordering the BBQ Pork Char siu ($11.95) which was luke warm and was ok. Also got the salt and pepper chicken box ($12.95) which was also luke warm and the rice was dry and not hot... Maybe this was an off day or the food was premade and just heated up but I was def disappointed. Or maybe I had high expectations prior... If I visit Chicago again, I might try the other location, if they make the food on premise. read more

I've been wanting to try this spot of for awhile now, I just don't find myself in the Bridgeport area that often. So you can imagine my elation when I learned of their new Avondale location on Milwaukee. We gave it a try last night. At this moment it' is just a carry out spot connected to the Avondale Music Hall. We ordered through their website, but they also have a kiosk to order for walk in. We ordered several items. The star of the show was the bbq pork. I could eat that everyday without hesitation. The crab ragoons and fried rice were also really solid choices. My wife said the chicken in her combo meal was tasty and fried to perfection. That makes me want to return to try their chicken sandwich. Overall this is a solid spot that you should try if you're looking for a unique take on takeout. read more

My partner and I got a salt & pepper chicken sandwich (w curly fries plus Chinatown Nashville hot sauce on the side), classic crab rangoons, and BBQ pork char siu - TASTE: 4/5 - everything hit the spot but our favorite, hands down, was the Chinatown Nashville hot sauce. Whatever was in it (chili oil and more?) was chef's kiss TEXTURE: 5/5 - super crunchy fried chicken, perfectly fried crab rangoons, and tender BBQ pork. Well done! PRICE: 4/5 - $33 total, not bad SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - the sandwich was massive! Definitely satisfied us for lunch SERVICE: 4/5 - walked up right at opening at 11:30am on a Saturday. The employee was helpful w the menu, and our order was ready less than 10min later ATMOSPHERE: 3/5 - love the bright and hip branding, and 3LP's story. Wish there was seating, either dine-in inside or tables outside, at this location read more

3 Little Pigs Chi - Bag of Awesome - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ive been to the location off of chicago ave. and was very excited to find out that it had located a little closer because i wanted to give this place another go. I went on a saturday in the early afternoon where it was listed as open on Yelp. I was very disappointed to find out that the place was closed when we arrived. (I had my son that made a special trip from the burbs to join us.) You cannot succeed in business if you are going to be inconsistent in service. Or cannot fulfill even the simplest of obligations like honoring store hours that you have posted. There is no excuse for this. Needless to say, it will be awhile if ever, when i will be returning. read more

I've had 3LP four times now - once delivered from here a few years ago, once at their former location in the South Loop, once at Eats Con and most recently delivered to me in the burbs. What keeps bringing me back is their unique take on American Chinese, which is nothing like General Tso's chicken (which guiltily I also love). The standout has to be their salt and pepper chicken sandwich. It's massive, and well seasoned in their own salt and pepper blend. If you've had stuff like salt and pepper squid, it's the same deal. They also don't shy away from using jucier chicken thighs. This honestly blows the Popeyes and Chick-Fil-A sandwiches out of the water. They also have more traditional things like their char siu pork, which would be easy to overlook if not for all the hype about it. It is worth noting that if you order the pork it doesn't come with rice or anything, so you might want to get a box meal if you want that. The pork is perfectly sweet and tender and worthy of the excitement. Another unique dish is one combining hot pot and the Chicago Italian beef, but honestly I was pretty drunk at karaoke when I had it and can't recall how it was. A great spot definitely worth a visit that you'd be hard to find anywhere else. read more

Both my friend and I were really excited about this place because we'd seen good reviews and whatnot, but honestly we were really disappointed. The food wasn't bad, but it was pretty mid/mediocre. If you want good fried chicken, you could probably go to Harold's or other chicken shops across the city (it is Chicago) and if you want good salt and pepper chicken or anything else, I would go to good Canto places in Chinatown. I got the lemon pepper chicken and bbq pork half and half situation. I've had delicious lemon pepper fried chicken but honestly it was a bit whatever. I've had better bbq pork (again go to Chinatown). My friend got the salt and pepper chicken and we both agreed both of our food could be better fried and seasoned. But definitely better seasoned. I saw some folks complain the food was a bit bland but I wanted to give this place a chance and it just did not live up at all. Also this doesn't factor into the rating (I only rate on food unless the service is hateful, which it definitely wasn't here), but it is so strange for this place to be in a Molly's cupcakes lol. The vibe they are going for is school classroom complete with a row of lockers against the wall and a cordoned-off bathroom that you need to ask for permission to access. Strange vibes. read more

3 Little Pigs Chi - Lemon pepper chicken and bbq pork - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Finally made it down here after patiently waiting for them to officially establish themselves inside Mollys Cupcakes. It's still essentially a take out place but you should be able to find a table and dine in once you pickup your order. I ordered their BBQ Pork Char Siu and their Fried Chicken Fried Rice. Both dishes tasted great. The chicken fried rice was very large and very filling. The fried rice had amazing flavor and it had plenty of fried chicken. The BBQ pork was really good as well. The pork was tender and the sauce was very sweet, but flavorful. Both items were fairly priced, I just wish the bbq pork came with some steamed white rice. They don't even offer some on their website for me to order which was a bummer. Overall I was very satisfied and wouldn't mind returning. My son really liked it and I wouldn't mind trying other items on their menu. read more

I wish 3.5 stars was an option. I think I set expectations a bit high after they were constantly sold out in their shared kitchen space and now that they've moved they're at least slightly more accessible. But still impossible to order delivery for dinner so finally ordered for lunch. I got the hot chicken sandwich. It was great, a but of a unique twist on a classic nashville hot. The seasoning and spice was great - spicy with a ton of flavor and not painfully spicy (coming from someone who loves the heat). Also just a bit of sauce on the buns, but nothing to overpower or distract from the sandwich. This was great But I also got some salt n pepper chicken which was not great. Two pieces of "chicken" were actually just breading. I don't know how that happens but for something that wasn't a ton of chicken to begin with, for two pieces to be breading is really not worth it. I ordered the bbq fried rice for an up charge but ended up with just normal fried rice and have to say it was pretty OK. Definitely not good, had some chunks of rice stuck together, didn't have any distinct flavor. Fortunately I ordered some chinese bbq sauce too and had to use that to save the chicken and rice. But that chinese bbq was $1.50 for a tiny little container, the sort of size you'd get for free from most restaurants. And While the nashville hot sandwich was awesome, the price for everything wasn't. read more

3 Little Pigs Chi - Nashville Hot was amazing; salt n pepper chicken / fried rice wasn't good. - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Not sure if it was just the day but was very disappointed with our order. Seemed like everything we ordered was wrong. The hot pot beef sandwich didn't come with the dipping sauce, so it was very dry and lacked flavor without it. The chicken & pork combo box, didn't come with any pork in it. The fried chicken sandwich came with one jalapeño on it and barely any mayo. The fries were decent but soggy due to the bag they were in - definitely take them out as soon as you get home.The fried rice was probably the best dish but nothing to write home about. Overall not worth it , wish we had gotten some of the sauce to offset. read more

Have been wanting to try this spot since it opened its ghost kitchen in the South Loop, and twas a great "treat yo' self" meal over the weekend. It's located within the same building space as Molly's Cupcakes, and you can either walk-in and order via QR code or order online beforehand (which i would recommend doing). Now the menu is fairly small, with a few main entrees and accompanying sides. I got the salt & pepper chicken meal which comes with veggie fried rice. The chicken itself was perfectly crisp & juicy, though was a tad bit too salty for my taste. The fried rice was decent, but wish it had more veggies/ a bit more flavor overall. I will say the portions are large, and i was very full after the meal I would say check it out; will go back and try the other menu items they have. read more

Amazing. Delicious. Incredible. I ordered their salt and pepper chicken sandwich yesterday and OMG! I was in heaven. It was so Delicious! And not to mention - their fries are TO DIE FOR. This is a great addition to the neighborhood. Please never leave us. I ordered ahead online after my daughter and I spent the morning at the library. With the walk over and spending a bit of time ordering cupcakes, we waited about 5ish minutes. There were so many people inside, enjoy their food and/or waiting for food. Love to see it! They are inside of the Mollys Cupcakes. They have some signage up and their QR code is against the wall if you can't find the menu elsewhere. You can kinda see the kitchen when you're waiting by the lockers and they look busy! Hard at work making the magic happen. I want to come back and order their fried rice dishes and try their crab rangoons. And of course order more fries. I am thrilled to see this in South Loop!! read more

Tl;dr the char siu was very disappointing and burnt and dry, but the other things were fine. I would come back for the Americanized-Chinese food, but not sure if I would risk the char siu again. Perhaps those little piggies can live another day. And yes, you can order online, and yes, you go straight into Molly's. ===== We ordered the crab 'goons, the salt and pepper chicken, and the char siu. The 'goons were solid and came with an intriguing worcestershire-ish, very sweet sauce; I found it to be a good pairing, and more unique than the bright red chili thing you normally find. The salt and pepper chicken was very tasty and fried well (though I think seasoned with a heavy dash of MSG, not that I minded), and I also liked the basic egg fried rice it came with. Note that the online description said something misleading like it came with fries. Ours came with egg fried rice and nothing else, but I've heard it can sometimes come with other stuff like broccoli. Now onto the char siu... I had high hopes, and was sorely let down. It was EXTREMELY overcooked and noticeably burnt. The sauce was also dry, which didn't help the sad, tough meat at all. The sauce itself was interesting - not like your typical char siu, though I can't really describe how it's different. It's still sweet and reddish. Probably would've been pretty good if the meat weren't so overdone. The portion was also a little small looking. Maybe we just came on an off day. As mentioned above, the website is a bit misleading and said something like they were maybe not officially open yet and not accepting online orders. This is wrong, and you can definitely go ahead and order and they'll text you an estimate on when to arrive shortly after. It's super easy to spot on the right side of the Molly's main counter when you go inside, too. I think in theory you can also dine in, which is nice, but we didn't try it. read more

So this is essentially a ghost kitchen operated out of a Mollys Cupcakes. I got there and had to scan a QR code to order thru the menu. With that I would recommend scheduling a time to pick up and eat at the Mollys. It took maybe 12 minutes. The sandwhich was MASSIVE. I had a hard time getting my mouth around it to bite. You bite down and the crisp, flaky, and perfectly seasoned chicken thigh burst into your mouth. It is one of the best first bites I've ever experienced. The sandwhich was $12 or so and came with fries. The fries were crinkle cut but extra crispy without getting burnt (I assume corn startch?) but made for the best crinkle cut fry I think I've ever had. In addition the owner (manager?) of 3LP came by to see how I was enjoying it which was a really nice touch. This chicken sandwich is frankly the best in the city and possibly the country. This felt like the beginnings of like Small Cheval or a really good fast food place. The portions are still sizeable and the quality is still high. It's frankly a rare treat and I feel fortunate that Chicago has a place like this. Run do not walk to 3LP read more

3 Little Pigs Chi - Salt and Pepper Chicken sandwhich - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Some guy on Chicago food Reddit (r/chicagofood) tried 125 fried chicken sandwiches in the Chicago area and named 3 Little Pigs as his #1 pick. Obviously, I had to give it a shot! 3LP is a small kiosk located inside of a Molly's Cupcakes. They've got a flyer out front on the door, and if you order online like I did, just tell the employees and they'll grab the right order for you. As of 5/17/24, they offer 2 types of chicken sandwich - the salt and pepper, and the hot and spicy. I opted for the salt and pepper this time, but I'd love to try the hot and spicy next time. One order gets you the sandwich and a nice side of curly fries (superior fry IMO). The S&P is a huge piece of chicken, fried and crispy, with additional salt and pepper on top. It's crunchy and crispy without being hard, and contrasts well with the soft bun. In addition to the salt, there's a sweet sauce that I think is condensed milk based as well as pickled jalapeños - altogether a very satisfying bite. I would have preferred more pickled jalapeños or maybe regular pickles to cut the rich chicken a bit more, but still very, very good! Whenever I'm back in Chicago, I'd love to try the hot and spicy - that looks even better than the S&P. read more

3 Little Pigs Chi - Salt and pepper fried chicken sandwich - Chinese Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This place is so hyped up on every social media channel from TikTok to Instagram, and I was happy to finally try it! It's a takeout-only Chinese-American restaurant specializing in their BBQ pork and fried chicken offerings. You can place your order for 30 minute pick-up time slots starting at 9:30pm the night before. Based on my experience, though the food was good and the pickup was seamless, I do think it was overall a bit underwhelming and overhyped. My friend and I shared fries and crab rangoons. I got the BBQ chicken sandwich and my friend got the Lemon Pepper Chicken & BBQ Pork combo. The fries were really good: they were crispy and were flavored with a unique and distinctly umami seasoning. The crab rangoons were also great: very crispy exterior paired with an exceptionally creamy cream cheese-y interior. Definitely one of the best crab rangoons I've had. The BBQ chicken sandwich was good, but really messy to eat and the bread was pretty smushed. The chicken was well-fried though, and the BBQ sauce-- though unevenly and kind of scantily applied-- was really delicious and flavorful. The chicken & BBQ pork combo plate was kind of skimpy-- based on the photo on the order form, we expected there to be more meat in it, but there were only a few small pieces of each, which was disappointing. The BBQ pork was very flavorful and tender though, and the chicken had a good fry and flavor profile. The main disappointment was that there were NO utensils or napkins provided with the food, which my friend and I didn't realize until we had already walked to a nearby park to eat the food... making for a pretty messy meal. So if you plan to eat outside, definitely remember to bring your own napkins and utensils. The prices are a bit expensive too-- with tip, tax, and processing fees, it ended up being ~$32 each. The menu is also not good for vegetarians unfortunately-- hoping they can add some BBQ / fried vegetarian options in the future! -- Price (relative to peers): 3.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambience: N/A Service: 5/5 (quick and easy pickup) Overall Value: 4/5 read more

I was really excited to try this place after hearing about their Uncle Roger approved fried rice! We got the salt and pepper chicken sandwich and the chicken and bbq pork combo box as well as some crab rangoon. The chicken sandwich was juicy and crispy I really enjoyed it but it does lacked a bit of flavor. The bbq pork was saucy and on the sweeter side. Overall the food reminded me of Americanized Chinese food. It was an interesting take, but I personally enjoyed the chicken sandwich more than the fried rice combo box. They don't have a store front yet and it was a ghost kitchen. You order online and pick up from Mollys cupcake. read more

I don't get the hype. And I feel like I should be ashamed to say that because I really do want to support small businesses and Asian businesses but the food was a no for me. At first sight, the char sui looked good. I was excited to bite into a piece only to be let down. The texture is that of overcooked chicken breast. Char sui is supposed to be flavorful and juicy! But this was neither and I'm sad to report that. The fried rice (which they give you A LOT of!) is good, but not great. The texture of the rice was perfect but all the veggies were so over cooked and mushy. Debating if I would want to give them a second try since they're pricey for Chinese food. read more

Not sure about all the hype. It is decent food but I guess my expectation was too high. Interesting pick up experience. Didn't realize it's a pick up location for many different restaurants. The chicken sandwich is pretty good. Still crispy even the food was prepared 30 minutes ago. Good flavor. The down side is too much salt. At some parts I feel like I was eating a whole spoon of salt. Crab Rangoon is not crispy anymore when I had it. Gets too chewy and tough. Would not recommend if you can't pick it up the minute it's ready. BBQ pork is decent chasiu. A bit too sweet but that's normally how it is. Fried rice is similar with the BBQ pork. A bit too sweet for me. Overall the price is a bit high for the quality. Will not come back but good to try. read more

Came back 2 years after their ghost kitchen and WOW! This place is the truth. Don't let the other reviews about the "location being hard to find" and some other irrelevant bs stop you from giving this place a try. I pride myself on being a "fried chicken guy" and the salt and pepper chicken sandwich did not disappoint, at all. Flavor was on point and so was the mayo sauce it came with - not greasy at all but crispy and cooked to perfection. The 3lp fried rice was packed with favor and you can tell it has that "wok hai" (iykyk) and there was no shortage of meat and other ingredients. Even though it was full of flavor it did not leave me thirsty which typically a lot of fried rices heavy on msg/salt will do. Can't wait for their new standalone location in Bridgeport which is opening in a few weeks. Do yourself a favor and try them, NOW! read more

Which is especially impressive considering its takeout/delivery. So, yes they live up to their stellar reputation. I got the Bbq Pork/Salt & Pepper Chicken combo with Spam fried rice. And made sure to get egg rolls and crab Rangoon for good measure. I will definitely be ordering again, and am actually really curious about their sandwiches! read more

UGH I so so wanted to give this place 5 stars but couldn't because our takeout dinner tonight was mediocre and did not live up to the hype surrounding this restaurant. The salt and pepper chicken lacked flavor and was extremely tough and dry. The lemon pepper chicken was better on the flavor front with strong notes of lemon; however, the texture wasn't there and lacked the crispiness that's to be expected with fried chicken. The dish that stood out was definitely the BBQ char siu pork - the meat was flavorful and tender. Not sure if today was just an off day but the fried chicken options truly fell short and were pretty lackluster. Regardless, we will most likely give this place another try and sample some of their other takeout options. read more

Extremely bland food. Two things worth mentioning is the crab Rangoon(although extremely sweet) was decent as well as the accompanying sauce which is solely responsible for the two stars. The rice was horrific. Basically tasted like water & was slimy in consistency. The chicken had seasoning but the chicken quality wasn't the best. Very much so dark meat & had a previously frozen aspect to it. The spice is laughable in the dry chili lemon pepper chicken dish. The icing on the cake is the price. $50 for for two orders of chicken, an order of vegetable price, literally 3 pieces of crab Rangoon is highway robbery. Be aware you can walk in & place order but most patrons are parked out ice Molly's waiting in their cars. read more

Positives: good tasting food Negatives: small portions for the price, and not easy to find the place the first time you go (it's within a bakery). Purchasing online can be confusing because the pickup times don't always align with the time of day. Also, they put the food in small, cheap styrofoam boxes which don't have a tight seal. Each time I've gone, the bottom of the bag ends up getting soaked with sauce. read more

Ever since I've learned about 3 Little Pigs, this is a place I have to stop by when I'm in Chicago. In particular for their salt and pepper fried chicken sandwich. I've visited before but it's my first review written on Yelp. I always get their salt and pepper fried chicken sandwich, honestly what a wonderful fusion concept of things I grew up eating. Fried chicken is moist and flavorful, some jalapeños, mayo, and a brioche bun on top. The salt and pepper seasoning is delicious, as simple as it sounds - I love the flavor. It also comes with a side of fries. Will definitely be back when I'm in Chicago again. read more

I totally don't get the hype. We ordered the char siu, the chicken sandwich, and the combo. As a Cantonese, I would tell you this does not taste like traditional char siu at all. It is dry and I don't like the sauce. The meat has not been marinated and the flavor did not get into the meat. I taste uncooked wine in the sauce, I don't know how to describe but I don't like it. The chicken sandwich is dry as well. I like the green pepper. The salt and pepper chicken on the rice is under-seasoned. And the fries are way way over-seasoned. read more

One little pig had the chicken sandwich. He thought the seasoning was perfect, the chicken was extremely juicy! The combination of the mayo and jalapeños work so well. Another little pig had the supreme chow mein and cha sui. This little pig loves egg noodles and cha sui so much she ordered it again the next day. Another little pig had the orange chicken and pineapple chicken with pork fried rice, the dishes were delicious and satisfying, the fried rice had huge chunks of cha sui and was very filling! Now the 3 little pigs have food coma and can't wait to go again. They've ordered from 3 Little Pigs 3 times in the last two weeks. Every time the food was amazing and fresh! (Great leftovers) Plot twist, there is only one little pig - it's me. read more

Order the lemon pepper chicken! That alone should be the review haha don't get me wrong, the orange chicken is delicious, but I personally love the fry on the lemon pepper since it isn't covered in a sauce. It's so crunchy with the hint of lemon pepper...it's perfect! The orange chicken has a ton of flavor! It has the perfect amount of sauce to give it enough flavor and not make it soggy. Combo fried rice is good, garlicky, and has a ton of protein in it. It's a lot going on, but so good and worth it! Big chunks of chicken, pork, and large shrimp - not common for a lot of places, so this was definitely a plus in my book. read more

I have been ordering from Henry since he opened up in humbolt! So these photos are not from the same day, but would still give it a 5/5 every time. I remember the first time I came to pick up Henry came out and greeted me! An amazing and humble man I told him I was excited to finally be able to give 3lp a shot because I been following during the weekday and only ate out on the weekend. Little did I know my once a week eating out would be two weeks of 3lp! I liked it that much haha. The char siu here are very unique! Way saucier and I live for it. I feel like it's an Asian fusion on bbq and loved it with white rice. 8.9/10 Salt and pepper chicken here is done perfect as well. Will always do emperor for a little extra bc I think it's worth it - I turn this into 2 or 3 meals! I love the salty and crispy outside and the moist chicken is just beautiful. 9.3/10 3lp fried rice was a different day where I felt like I just wanted carbs! The red rice from it being saucy caught my eye so I was hoping it would have a stronger flavor. Overall the portion is excellent, maybe I'll ask for a little more sauce for what I'm looking for! The bbq, spam, Chinese sausage and veggies come plentiful as well. 7.9/10 Also love how Henry interacts on instagram as well! Quick to reply and always showing love to us customer. I find myself finding it hard to try another Chinese place because of how much I crave it here sometimes. read more

You know... this was not an inexpensive meal, and the pork char siu order was about 1/3 the size of any of the pictures, the green beans were way over done and almost cool and the subout of fries for rice, although upcharged for, ended up as plain rice. We'd already ordered the fried rice (which is very good) as a separate dish. I'm not typically a complainer, but this was overall a disappointment, and likely not because of the basic quality of the food. Also, I tried to call about 10 times with no luck, as I'd always rather handle something like this privately. read more

I tried the Dry Chili Lemon Pepper Chicken. I liked it and thought it had great crunch. It came with some white rice and broccoli. I noticed some sauce was at the bottom which would have been nice if it was on the chicken itself. The sauce had great flavor and lots of pepper. It wasn't too spicy so I think anyone could enjoy it. Now that I've looked at the menu I would order it again, then a side of the mango cucumber salad, and maybe the 3LP mild sauce on the side to add. I'm a big fan of having a lot of flavors going on. read more

After waiting for over a year and a half to make my way to South Loop and try this spot it finally happened! Stopped by this past Friday and picked up the salt/pepper chicken plate, orange chicken plate and hot chili chicken plate along with an order of crab rangoons and the pork char siu and the wait was 1000% worthwhile. The quality of breading on the chicken was beautifully crisp w a soft, luscious chicken piece inside. Salt and pepper, amazing, orange chicken out of this world and the hot chili was perfectly balanced not keeping ya from eating more and increasingly more enjoyable as the heat built. The crab rangoons were something different as well, the wrapper has something different that I couldn't put my finger on (twas a bit sweeter than usual) and the filling had a tanginess that is incomparable to anything else. All in all, GET IT, I know they're known for their chicken sandwiches nowadays but I was still floored w my experience. Definitely will be going back! read more
