Once u taste this food u will never ever go to another Chinese place again.... It's that freakin good... Love u guys n your prices

Chi-Tung is a true Gem on the South Side. You get a lot for your money and the food is excellent. I ordered the BBQ ribs which fall off the bone and the Sushi is to die for. They also have the hibachi style setup which is very good as well. The chef does all the tricks you would expect. It can get pretty crowded in here and you may want to call ahead.

Stopped in for lunch and had the szechwan beef special. The special comes with an egg roll, egg drop soup, fried rice, and the beef. Everything was very good and the portion of rice and szechwan beef is huge! The beef is very spicy-great if you're a fan of spice (I am!). I also tried a couple pieces of maki-Spicy Tuna and Godzilla. Both tasted very fresh and the Godzilla roll was huge! Good service, water glasses were always full. Nothing was bad, but nothing was really great either, hence 3 stars.

Had the curry seafood..... Imitation crabmeat, squid that was hard to chew, scallops that had some form of tiny rock like pebbles. Sauce has good taste. For the price I guess no one will complain. But for the amount of people who frequent this place, and that's a lot, they should care more for the quality of food. Sushi quality has also gone down, doesn't taste as fresh or look very presentable. It's a shame people don't complain more, I guess we are too simple, and only care about what the cost is.

We love this place! Started coming here as a child when their location was across the street and basically a store front sit down restaurant and have watched it blossom to the huge restaurant they are now. Must haves include but are not limited to: orange chicken (simply amazing) pad see eiw chicken noodles(spicy) and panang chicken curry. Honestly everything here is top notch from the wait staff to the food. On a recent trip we sent back orange chicken because we wanted it more crispy; not only did they leave the first dish for us to take home as left overs but they brought out another dish cooked to our specifications at no additional charge. So that basically equated to a buy one get one free, lol. Chi Tung also gets props for their insistence of adhering to strict sanitary standards. All sushi chefs are equipped with face mask while they prepare sushi rolls, an unnecessary precaution that is greatly appreciated.

OVER RATED.Perplexed why this place is soooo busy. Yes the staff is nice but the food is AWFUL! Truly not that far to Chinatown if you want the real deal. If you do not want to head into the city than go to Hong Min in Palos Hills on 111th street.This was our second visit and it will be our last.Ordered Shrimp ShuMai(spelling incorrect) and it was from a frozen package, NOT freshly made. Next disappointment=Egg foo young....REALLY??? how can this be screwed up... last but not least the rice was old.

Everyone I know loves Chi Tung! And if my friends, from out of town, are craving some tasty Asian food-I bring them here! This place is a must for delicious Thai, Japanese and Chinese food! I think people love it, because you are able to try three different types of Asian food under one roof.Every time I come here, it's always crowded. You have to maneuver your way to the hostess, just so can you leave your name for a table; it's always THAT many people in the lobby. However, unless you're a party over 6, you are seated pretty fast. I was just here last night, with a party of 6, and we only waited for like 10 minutes tops.I've only eaten in the Hibachi style dining area once, and actually prefer other places for Hibachi style dining. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad...I've just had better Hibachi experiences. So, when I come to Chi Tung I only sit in the "regular" dining area.Some of my favorites are: the crab rangoons; miso soup; pot stickers (veggie); sashimi; pad see ew; pad thai; and the ramen bowls! The egg foo young is alright and their thai curry is just okay. Another plus, is they have a full bar with lots of cocktail options. However, their drinks are always made on the weak side. So, if you want a little kick, ask for them strong. ;-)

Just happened to be driving by. This place was packed on a Saturday afternoon and tables were filling up as fast as diners left. There was no wait for two. Service was prompt and lunch specials were good and plentiful. There is also a hibachi grill in the back for special occasions which I will probably come back for. Not a top notch restaurant but you get good bang for your buck. Teriyaki salmon with sushi was really good. I would recommend if you are in the area.

Pretty good! The server wasn't so great, but the food definitely made up for it. Check it out! ;D Try the free appetizers, so yummy! I've only gone once and I plan to return, hopefully I get better service..

We went on Sunday for lunch. There was tons of people waiting to be seated as well. They told us that the wait was 25 minutes. They handed us a pager and we just found a spot to lean at and waited. They paged us in 16 minutes and it was pretty shorter wait then expected which is a plus. Then we ordered two egg rolls, Chi tung special pan fried noodles, and honey walnut shrimp. The food was excellent.The waiter guy was very friendly. Sometimes they were delayed on filling our waters that I had to ask the waiter for more. It was busy in there so I can understand that there was other customers there too.We always usually cater from here if we have a party at our house. Their food is great here. We never really had anything bad here before. It is always super packed though. They run a great system for pick-up orders etc.It is super hard to find parking. They have a small lot that it can get full super fast. They need to make their parking lot bigger and the employees should not park in that lot at all. They have all kinds of Asian food except Filipino.

Okay I went again today for lunch and found out the lunch buffet is only M-F, not on Saturdays, but I ordered off the regular menu. They had plenty of lunch specials--I got shrimp egg foo yung, shrimp fried rice, egg drop soup and a pot of tea for $7. It was delightful. My only knock was the waiter really couldn't be bothered with me, which was kind of obnoxious, but hey they were busy, but it's always nice to feel like service providers actually care about their customers. So be it, lunch was still good though it's obvious the prepared lunches are prepared and sitting there as my arrive in about a minute and a half.

This place was worth the wait. We sat at the habachi grill and the show was spectacular! I was so full after leaving there. I went with my cousins their children and my fiance. The only downfall was parking was horrible! Get there early or doing some off peak hours.

I had heard nothing but good things about 'The Tung' in the most glowing terms so I decided to see if it was truly all the rage. It is not BUTTTTT, it's not necessarily disappointing either.Located on the south side just before the city ends/suburbs begin, the place seems adorned with the appropriate accoutrements for this dining style. The overall atmosphere is light and unpretentious and I have gone on three occasions with nary a nasty bathroom or dirty dish to complain about. They have regular table/booth seating as well as an area for the traditional 'hibachi' experience where you can sit nestled around a grill with family or strangers.If you sit at a table, the food is pretty standard fare. I have tried the yakisoba with mushrooms and shrimp and it was ok, nothing special and nothing to deride. I was a little disappointed because it is advertised as hot. Only if you bite directly down on one of those peppers will you feel the heat. Boy, you will feel THAT heat til you go to sleep! However, there weren't really a lot of spicy elements to the dish itself though. I have also sampled a combination steak/shrimp over rice entree at the hibachi. The tricks done by the server were cool, again nothing spectacular or disappointing either. One unique thing about their hibachi is they give everyone a helping of noodles and a shrimp regardless of what you ordered. No complaints from this hungry man!All in all, this is a pretty ok restaurant. What earns my continued business is their location, moderate price and attentive service. Also, the portions are absolutely HUGE. I have gone with a date and we have shared one meal with a bit still left over. So while I started this review stating they weren't 'all the rage', I must say that 'the rage' they do posses is def worth checking out at least once. I did that and found myself going back for seconds..and thirds.......

I write reviews for one of two reasons. The place is really good or you should stay away at all costs. In between to me is standard so sometimes I write sometimes not. I'm lazy, what can I say.Executive Summary for those that think I already wrote too much.Chi Tung is great. Service is spectacular. Food flavor and presentation the bomb. Reasonable prices. Great value for the dollar. Simply put - don't miss it.Now come with me on my excursion.This trip finds me in Chicago working at a site in Oak Lawn. After work I figure I want sushi and found a spot. Drove there and saw an Italian place on the way. I'm getting fickle now. Opened my iPhone 5 Yelp app and checked the reviews. So-So. Although one of my best meals was at a 3 star. But I digress.Now I see this Thai place. Pad Thai seemed the ticket. And they had sushi, and real spring rolls not fried. So a mile later I pull into a parking lot that is jammed packed. Trying to figure my next move a spot opens up!I go in, the place is hopping. I ask for a table for one (I don't do booths but that's another story). Expecting a wait, I'm taken to a four top. I don't want to take up that much room on a busy night. Oh look!! Over there- a sushi bar. I tell the hostess I will just sit there so they can have the four top for a group. Get this... She looks and me and says - Thank you. Wow - never ever got that before!Sat at the bar and almost immediately had a drink order taken. Water only. They have a great hibachi area which I passed thru on the way to the washroom. When I returned there was my water, a pot of hot tea, a little cabbage salad and a little cucumber salad. WOW! This is nice. Oh and a hot towel for my cute little hands.I ordered up some sushi - salmon, tuna ans topiko (pretty color flying fish eggs) and Pad Thai mild.Quickly the sushi arrives. Nicely presented. I was hungry so no pics. Sorry... It was very fresh and tasty. As I finished up the Pad Thai arrives. Enough on the plate for a party of 3-4! As I took my first bite I regreted not getting medium. Some chili sauce took care of that.After I finished I got a check, and a fortune cookie and an almond cookie. Again I'm wowed.So the whole time my water glass never went empty thanks to Joan (I think) and Sandy. Everyone always smiling. Place is bustling. The empty plates were removed quickly. Did I mention everyone was smiling and friendly?UPDATED - I was so impressed with the food and service I forgot to mention - The whole thing was under $20!!All was grand! Great meal, great service. On the way out the hostess said Thank you and have a nice night. OK, not a big thing for some people that always means a lot to me.If you stuck thru my whole missive you know I highly recommend this place. Should I have the opporunity to return to the site I support here in Oak Lawn I will return!!

Pretty solid place for Chinese and for sushi. Actually, its one of the only places I eat Chinese food. I don't trust most places, but this place always has fresh food and the workers are pretty friendly. I live far away from this place now, but every time I'm on the southside (and its not a Friday night), I make sure I stop by to pick up some takeout. I stay away on Friday and Saturday nights because the place is ALWAYS crowded (people spilling out the doors) and the parking lot is impossible. Friday and Saturdays during the day is a much better time to visit. I highly recommend!

I've been going here for years, and I have to say that the quality just isn't there anymore. It's decent Chinese food (meh on the Thai and Japanese), extremely large portions, and super fast.The cons: It's allllways super crowded and packed. I feel as if I'm being rushed if I eat in the dining room. The parking lot is also a mad house with people trying to park or pick up. It would be nice if they could figure out a designated pick up area away from the dine-in.

Chi Tung is awesome. I purchased their dinner for 2 on 2 different occasions and both were spectacular. It included 2 entrees, fried rice, soup, a 6 piece california roll, and 3 sampler appetizers. We ate everything and didn't complain about it at all. Not to mention that its cheap 32 bucks for all of it after taxes.I love sweet and sour chicken and theirs is amazing. They add fresh tomatoes and cucumber (i originally was skeptical) that made it the most unique take on the dish I've tasted.Their portion sizes are decent as well. The "dinner for 2" fed 2 of us for 3 different meals (we overate on the first night). I cannot recommend this place any more. If you enjoy higher quality asian food for a decent price then go to Chi Tung.

This place is always packed to the rim. Why, I don't know because the food taste no different than any other chinese food. I've been to Chi-Tung for the buffet, to order sushi, for lunch, dinner, and hibachi grill.I really like there Sushi and hibachi grill, and thats about all. I can't stand there buffet and I never understood why people rave about it or why my friends are always dragging me there for lunch. Its a nice spot though overall. Still nothing special.

Their Hibachi rocks, their Thai menu's awesome (best Pad See Ew I've actually ever had); wish they offered spicy bamboo salad & glass noodles but whatever; it's all good there! Their sushi's good for south side standards & they make great drinks (green tea saketini, mai thai, etc.). The place is always crowded; don't go starving. Great first date spot (as I can tell from many customers there!

Would be five stars if ordering over the phone was easier and they weren't so busy. You literally need someone to drop you off or park down the street sometimes. People get really crazy in the parking lot and start inventing new ways to drive.....it's an accident waiting to happen! if you've been there before you know what I mean....they needs to expand! Excellent food however... some of the best in the area....it's worth fighting the crowd when you have the energy and live outside of the delivery zone :(

I found this restaurant hear on yelp doing a local search. I saw the high number of reviews as well as how many of them were highly rated. Well I went to try the Chinese. Instead we had the Hibachi. And in all my years of trying different Hibachi grills, I can't believe I have never been here before. This place is great! Everything from the food to the service was beyond my expectations. I now have a new favorite for Hibachi. On my next trip I will try the Chinese. From what I did see it also looked delicious. The service staff here goes out of their way to make sure everything is to your liking. The portions of food is more then I expected. We were lucky to arrive around 6pm on a Friday. The wait was minimal, and by the time we left the lobby was packed. This is a gem of a place.

Our friends recommended this place....Food was decent. Portion sizes were good. Prices were reasonable.Service was extremely rushed, a slight confusion from the gentleman that seated us to our waiter. If you were just within 1 hour of closing time, then why seat us? Or tell us when you are seating us and give us the option of choosing to stay or leave? Do we want a rushed meal or not? We were told about the kitchen closing once we were seated and all comfortable looking over the menus. As we had ordered the food the waiter came back to our table and asked us if we wanted anything else because they were closing. I remember sitting there eating our dinner and they were already mopping the floors, cleaning the tables, and turning the chairs upside down. Really? Poor service!!I'll give it another try, another day, at an earlier time...MAYBE...

I've been coming here for years - this is probably my favorite family restaurant on the South Side. Good Chinese and okayish sushi for a good price that the whole family enjoys. Takeout is also great - speedy, generous portions, and it comes in these AWESOME heavy-duty plastic shopping bags that I tackily use to carry just about anything all over the state.Cons: parking can suck if you come during a busy time and it can get super busy/loud/kind of frenetic-feeling as well.

Great food, Highly recommend the Chinese menu. Chi Tung was originally just exclusively Chinese before it moved into other Asian cuisines. But everything is good.I really enjoy General Tso Chicken, and the Orange Beef. The fried rice is really good too, and I really like the almond cookies. My only gripe is that the clientele and atmosphere becomes lower class with the lunch buffets. Get rid of the buffet.

I went here for my birthday, but they wouldn't let us sit at the hibachi table unless every single person in our group of six wanted hibachi. My mom wanted to order off the regular menu, so they said that we would have to split up. We didn't want to do that, so we didn't get to do hibachi afterall, even though that was why I picked this restaurant in the first place.The menu fare was decent. Stick with the Chinese food = everyone who works at Chi Tung is Chinese. If you want Thai food, I suggest you make the trek to Argyle! The waitstaff was friendly and the atmosphere upscale. I was torn between two and three stars on Chi Tung. Although the service was good, I am going to go with two stars only because I'm still bummed out about not being able to get hibachi for my birthday.

The parking was difficult. Small lot, Heard many customers complaining about having to park across Kedzie, which is a fairly busy street.The wait was short, only 5 minutes, which was nice compared to the other 20-40 minutes waits in the area.The restaurant is divided into different areas, dining, hibachi and sushi. We chose to sit in the regular dining section.The tea cups on our table were dirty when we arrived, but were promptly replaced when asked. Our place settings had a fork and a knife, unusual for a Chinese restaurant to have knives on the table. Where were the chopsticks?We started off with potstickers, which were not very flavorful and did not have much more than pork in them.We ordered the pan fried noodles with shrimp. The portion was large, but the taste was very bland. The leftovers we brought home were much better when we added salt and soy sauce.Would not go again.

Stopped in for lunch to check out their lunch buffet. Kind of a let down, expected a bit more. Service was on top of it, but the buffet left something to be desired. Tried the Tempura Vegetables, Pad Thai, some rice...everything was average, nothing more than any other Chinese buffet. The bill was decent ($8.99 per person), but anything more than that would've been excessive. Definitely recommend ordering fresh from the menu rather than the buffet, unless you're absolutely starving....and if starting, hit Buffet City in Oak Lawn...

I have been here many times for hibachi, regular dining area, and take out. I haven't had one complaint until the last time that I went. First, we were not seated until 45 minutes after our reservation for hibachi. Second, the second the cook finished cooking at our table, the waiter was already at our table with take out boxes. A minute later he came back with bags and started opening them up to put our containers in. AND then we were not even able to eat our ice cream at our table, we were asked to get up and move to another table! We were obviously being rushed because they had people waiting, but this was just ridiculous. I don't think they should over book themselves if it means rushing and moving your customers.The food as always was good and the portions were very generous. The cooks are always very nice and friendly. The parking is horrific, but the lot is a pretty big size.Overall I was pretty much just disappointed with the quality of the service.

Food- EXCELLENT, always hot, always right.Drinks- Could use a wider selectionWait Time- Not terribly badParking- Horrible. I'm glad they allow us to park on the other side of the street now. Still, I'd rather not try the parking there. WHY would they build a CVS next to it!?Buffet- Pretty good, and right on target with priceNoise- It can get pretty loud in there. Be prepared to speak up if you're talking with someone. Usually not a problem until dinner time.

We've been dining at Chi Tung since it was a 10 table storefront on 95th street--long before it expanded to it's current location. Since then the menu has expanded, but the quality of the food and service hasn't waivered one bit. The menu has an excellent selection of Chinese Thai, and Sushi and we've never been disappointed.The carry-out is done unlike any place I've ever seen. Large orders come in reusable floral plastic shopping bags and everything is packed well. The food comes in these tiny tupperware-like containers and each meal is labeled by the chef who prepared it.Dining in? Expect to wait--unless you have a reservation as this is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the area.The hibachi grill is awesome too.

I've always loved this place. Is it the best? No. For some reason though it's always been one of my favorites! Now that I live 2 miles from it I will probably hit it up even more.I prefer sticking with the Chinese dishes here. The sushi and Thai leave a bit to be desired. The drinks and service are always top notch.If you act like an old person (the way I act) you may want to come at off hours and avoid the rush- This place gets CRAZY busy!!

This place is always packed and there's a good reason for it. Chinese, Thai, Japanese...what are you in the mood for?Huge menu and everything is delicious! They even added Hibachi!They do a huge carryout business and the parking lot is always packed. Great lunch specials and the dinners are huge for the price! Great spot!
