Happy Chef - Lincolnwood

2 Lanterns Cafe has opened in the former Happy Chef location, featuring a newly renovated and modern design. I ordered a smoothie and the Mongolian beef dinner, both of which were impressive. There are more articles available about 2 Lanterns Cafe.

I’m puzzled by the number of negative reviews for this restaurant. The staff is friendly and the food offers great value for the price. It’s especially ideal for budget-conscious individuals or students looking for affordable Chinese cuisine. They offer a wide range of menu items that typically cost a dollar or two more at other places, and they often include complimentary egg rolls, cookies, and even fried rice with their lunch and dinner specials. While it may not be the absolute best Chinese food, the portion sizes are generous, making it a fantastic deal for the money.

The customer service was also excellent! While they don’t typically give away money, I was pleasantly surprised when the cashier discovered an extra penny in my change—it really made my day! I would gladly pay to eat here again and again. Support this local gem and treat yourself to some delicious food. I know I’ll be coming back!
