Papajin

Papajin is a restaurant for Chinese and sushi. No that the sushi is not good, but patrons here will tell you that the Chinese is a must-try. The orange chicken is well flavored and perfectly cooked, never a disappointment. One of the few restaurants around serving Boba, it is also a must-try. Check for specials before ordering.

Ask to get a free egg roll or a free California maki roll with your takeout or delivery order.

This once strictly Chinese restaurant should have kept their chopsticks where they belonged. Expanding the menu to include second-rate sushi was a big Hong Kong phooey. Its unremarkable Wicker-Park-funky dining room of white tablecloths and faux-funky hanging fixtures should be skipped in favor of Chinese the old-fashioned way: delivery. The only saving grace is its sidewalk café.

In Short
Papajin's energetic feel fits right into the neighborhood, with clean, elegant decor lit by funky white hanging lamps. The expansive menu offers both Japanese and Chinese...

Get both Japanese and Chinese cuisine at this stylish Pan-Asian spot in Wicker Park.
