Lao Sze Chuan to Open in Evanston This Summer

The Chicago restaurant famous for its spicy, authentic Chinese cuisine will open at 1637 Orrington Ave. in August.

Restaurateur Tony Hu will be opening another location of his famous Lao Sze Chuan this summer in Evanston at 1637 Orrington Ave., adding to the 11 restaurants that make up the Tony Gourmet Group, which has locations in China Town, Schaumburg and Chicago, among others, the Daily Northwestern reported.

Hu says he plans to bring authentic Chinese cuisine to Evanston with dishes such as spicy hot pot and boiled beef in spicy Sichuan sauce. Chinese students say they love Hu’s restaurants because it’s an emotional relief from academics and culture conflicts during the week, the Daily Northwestern reported. 

Reporter’s side note: If you love the tingling numbness that spicy food brings, you’ll enjoy many dishes at Lao Sze Chuan. Try Tony’s shrimp with three chili for a wonderful kick.
