Lao Sze Chuan Continues to Expand Out of Chinatown; "Soft" Opens at 616 S. Wabash

One of our favorite Chinatown restaurants - Lao Sze Chaun - is apparently softly opening according to a reader on Hello South Loop:

Here is the "soft opening" menu for South Loop's Lao Sze Chuan, where we ate tonight.  The restaurant is attractive, with tables/booths well-spaced apart.  The food and service are wonderful.  Although not ready yet, there will be a bar.  Highly recommend!

It's interesting to see another Chinatown restaurant expand/move further north away from the core of Chinatown.  Ming Hin opened a huge restaurant at 1234 S. Michigan in 2020.  Additionally My Place moved out of a Chinatown location in favor of a 1307 S. Wabash location in the Sloop. 

Best of luck to the crew at Lao Sze Chaun and welcome to the Sloop!
