Triple Crown Restaurant

This late-night institution moved to the main drag after spending more than a decade hidden away on a Chinatown side street, giving it a second-story perspective of the commotion below. After 10 p.m., it's drunken dim sum hour. During the dinner hour, cooks are always busy pulling lobsters, sea bass, and Dungeness crab from the seafood tanks. The late-night menu's small-plate portions of garlicky peapod greens, salt-and-pepper pork chops, and soft quail covered in peppery black bean sauce strikes a good balance between all the fried staples and stomach lining.

In 1996, Triple Crown Restaurant opened its doors against the bustling backdrop of 22nd Place, one of Chinatown's oldest streets. Since that time, Triple Crown has catered traditional Cantonese meals to a wide range of patrons, specializing in a wide variety of seafood prepared with southern Chinese ingredients and spices. This restaurant relocated to Chicago's Chinatown's main thoroughfare in 2009, just outside the Chinatown Gate and across from the Pui Tak Center.

Triple Crown's concept is a family-style eating experience where the Chinese culinary aesthetic is highlighted in a warm, welcoming environment for visitors of all ages. We use a minimum amount of salt, oil, and other additives in the dishes on our large menu, yet they still have pleasant and nuanced taste combinations. While admiring the prestigious red gate of Chinatown and indulging in genuine Hong Kong cuisine that upholds the integrity of regional taste, immerse yourself completely in the local culture.
