We got the five spice duck, soft shell crab, pea tip with garlic, clams, and stir fried pork belly. The English and Chinese menu and kind of different, e.g. I don't think the clams weren't on the English menu. The staff are really hospitable. It would help to have a Cantonese speaker with you. Cash discount is available. So good, I highly recommend giving this spot a try!

Human Gourmet 4-16-26 Although I have been eating Chinese…read morefood for 70 years, I distinctly remember my first Chinese meal in Chicago's Chinatown on the second floor of the building where dragons guarded the entrance. I was as the most elegant meals in my short life. Unfortunately, it was egg foo yung; I did not like it, although I was polite. Later options were in Cantonese-style rural or Canadian venues until we moved to Chicago. Here, my high-school-age son began dating a Chinese immigrant. Her family opened my eyes to many other styles that my husband and I enjoyed. However, the introduction to Hunan Gourmet's "medium" shocked me when my friend requested it for our combined order. Still, the resulting two days of leftover cumin lamb, eggplant skewers, and pumpkin pancakes convinces me to reassess my personal preferences. I hope to try many dishes from their extensive menu; I will, however, follow the wisdom of Asian customers, who brought cold 6-packs to their tables. Brilliant!

I went after a graduation, and we needed to find a late night spot open to seat seven of us. Thankfully, the Original Triple Crown was open, and the food was great! The egg rolls and crab rangoons were crispy and fresh. The sweet and sour pork, walnut shrimp, stir fried eggplant, clams, string beans, fried tofu, and beef with onions were very delicious and easy to share. The only con was that we got the shredded chicken, and it was very salty. The service was great; they took our order pretty quick and brought out the food fast. They even gave a discount for paying cash. The ambiance is alright; it hard to locate it since it's not on the main street of Wentworth. Additionally, it felt more like a hole in the wall spot compared to other places. It's more of a "if you know you know" spot and sharing a nice comforting meal with a large family.

We went to The Original Triple Crown Restaurant (OTCR) is off the beaten path on 211 W 22nd place. They ordered the salt & spicy smelt (one of my favorite Chinese dishes), fried sea food chow fun noodles, baby bok choy w/garlic. We also ordered clams in black bean sauce. The food was good but not exceptional. Very good service One cool thing about The Original Triple Crown Restaurant is they are open very late. My wife worked the second shift from 3-11pm. On the way home we stopped off @ OTCR for a late night snack. They have a half size & half priced menu items. This is menu isn't just for late night as we were told by the server if we chose to get a smaller portion while we were there

You seat yourself and order from the QR code on the table. There's a menu against the wall but it's the same as in the QR code. We got the smashed cucumber and the beef bao to start. The cucumber was very refreshing and served as a palate cleanser throughout the dinner. The beef bao was good. It reminds me of a Salisbury steak inside a bao. Which is not knocking it but I would not order it again. For out entrees we had the Dan Dan noodles and the beef chow mein. Both plates were served extremely well; they had so much food! I always like chow mein but this one tasted like it was missing something. I tried adding soy sauce and it was not enough. It was very delicious though and I ate it all. You get so many little pieces of veggies and beef in every bite. The dan dan noodles were the star of the show. They were so nutty. I loved it! The waitress made sure to tell us to mix it up really good and we did just that. It was very delicious. I would definitely be back to try more of their menu because I love noodles and they have such a variety.

The in-house noodles were excellent... we had both the hand-pulled kind and the chow mein style and both were cooked perfectly. There was a good broth-to-noodle ratio, so the prices felt semi-reasonable. If the could go $1-2 under, it would've been perfect. The spicy seafood broth was the perfect level of hot, but not stay-on-your-tongue, hot. The venue was loud and tables turned fast, so be wary about bringing the little ones, not that it's not doable. Service started out warm and attentive, but we didn't get much attention after that. That was the only downside, and the reason for the missing star.

We walked in Monday early evening, and it was a Ghost Town. Only one person came in after us. We ordered dim sum, and we saw that two items were added to our order that we never ordered. They were potstickers and a Chinese sausage rice. We have potstickers and Chinese sausage at home a lot so we don't go out to buy it. We tend to pick items we can't make at home for dim sum like shrimp dumplings are harder to make at home than a potsticker. The rice came with the Chinese sausage was very old like dry and a little soggy at the same time. I also have never had spare ribs like they did. There was a lack of black bean taste. The turnip cakes were soggy which is weird because you need to pan fry them and it was clear there was some frying but the inside was super goopy. Turnip cake can be a little goopy but mostly it had more integrity than what we got. The only good things we had were the fried shrimp rolls and the pumpkin rolls. The stuff that was deep-fried. And I noticed that one item I did order ended up not being added to our check so we were never given that. I don't think I can come back here for dim sum anymore. it was a $46 meal of sad items. Not worth the price. Maybe we'd come for entrées. Someone got fried rice and noodles and those looked decent but I wasn't able to see up close.

It has a lot of history and baggage and manners baked into it. We went for dinner (although they do serve dim sum during the daytimes). It is a standard menu (multiple variations for beef, chicken, seafood, veg, etc). The food is familiar but a little bit "brighter" than the usual takeout places that dot along the strip malls. We had the typical beef spareribs, General Tso's chicken, honey walnut shrimp... but we also had an off-menu eel dish. Secrets! But what separates this place is that this is where the locals end up eating (we saw plenty that evening). Maybe it's the familiarity or the lack of tourism marketing. It's not exactly traditional, but is not exactly high-concept-fusion. Just a place where the locals meet up when they don't to cook in.
