Northern Cuisine
Northern Chinese
Northern Chinese restaurant near the University of Illinois campus, cooking the kind of food that gets called "rustic" when people mean it as a compliment. The wok-fried crispy pork intestines landed on the New York Times list of the best restaurant dishes eaten across the country in 2025, blasted in a fiery wok until dark and crunchy, with dried roasted red chiles and not much else. Fuss-free, fearless cooking.
