Shanghai Terrace

The Cantonese and Shanghainese cuisines and popular dim sums provided by the restaurant have won high praise from Americans. With the grand 1930s decoration and the open-air rooftop with a view of the Chicago skyline, ZAGAT has given Hua Ting the top spot in Chinese cuisine without hesitation. The dim sums are good, and they also provide high-end banquet dishes such as Peking duck, Australian abalone, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The service is very good, some of them speak Chinese, and the details are in place.

This restaurant called "Hua Ting Chinese Restaurant" is a relatively high-end restaurant. Their matsutake mushrooms were recommended to us by the chef, and they are really very fresh, so fresh that it makes your eyebrows drop.

Hua Ting Chinese Restaurant has Chinese and English menus, so ordering is not difficult at all. We ordered quite a few of the restaurant's specialties, and I personally think the taste is quite good. I heard that the chef is Chinese.

This is a relaxing restaurant with unique design and decoration. The dishes are delicious, including spicy beef paste, soft steamed buns, beef fillet with black pepper sauce and stir-fried vegetables. The Shanghai noodles are chewy. There are also dessert cakes and dessert spring rolls.

It's a well-known local Chinese restaurant, located in the Chinese restaurant downstairs of Hua Ting Hotel. However, the prices are really expensive, so I just ordered a roasted duck and a mapo tofu, plus a bowl of rice, which was enough to fill me up.
