Chicago | Chu Chun — Craving That Authentic Chengdu Flavor! 🌶️

Chu Chun has been open in Chicago for years, and I often order delivery from them. Whenever my taste buds feel bored and lonely, I think of this place! Their dish names are also super fun — you can really feel the owner’s Chengdu soul 😄 ⭐ Yao Meier Beef Maocai Big portion, great value, super tasty! Comes in a huge box piled high with beef, and underneath — a variety of veggies: cabbage, bean sprouts, lotus root, and the carb-lover's favorite: wide sweet potato noodles. Perfect over rice — I devour it every time! ⭐ Crispy Fried Pork Strips A must-order! Generous serving, sprinkled with fragrant chili powder — aromatic but not overly spicy. Each bite is crispy and delivers that perfect fried-food happiness 😋 Pro tip: if you have an air fryer, pop them in for a few minutes and they taste fresh out of the fryer again! ⭐ Chengdu Fried Rice With so many appetizers, of course you need some carbs! This fried rice really hits that late-night street stall or hotpot restaurant vibe. The sausage inside is Sichuan-style — so fragrant — and paired with pickled veggies for a refreshing kick. ⭐ Zhong Shui Jiao (Chengdu-style Wontons) A classic Chengdu snack! Spicy and numbing red oil seriously wakes up your taste buds, while a touch of sweetness balances the heat. One bite each — so satisfying! ⭐ Spicy Chicken Feet Sichuan-style spicy chicken feet — totally different from Korean style! Chewy, bouncy, and meaty, perfect for slowly gnawing while binge-watching a show 🐔📺 ⭐ Fermented Rice Tofu Pudding After a super spicy meal, you really crave something sweet and refreshing. A bowl of cool, silky tofu pudding hits the spot! Shake the syrup well so each piece of tofu gets coated in fermented rice — the perfect dessert to end the meal. In short — whenever you’re watching shows or videos and your mouth starts watering for Sichuan food, just place that order! 🥡🔥 #ChicagoEats #SichuanFood #ChengduFlavors #SpicyLovers #ComfortFood #AsianFoodDelivery
