Orange Garden

Iconic/NotableNorth Center · Chinese Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1942 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613

Orange Garden has anchored the same Irving Park Road storefront since the early 1930s, and depending on which source you trust it's either the oldest or one of the oldest Chinese restaurants still standing in Chicago -- old-school Americanized Cantonese food, not a recent nostalgia concept playing at being old.

$$

The burrito-sized egg rolls are the signature order. The interior clock has hung on the wall since 1932, the frescoes date to 1944, and the restaurant's iconic neon "Chop Suey" sign -- possibly the oldest neon sign in the city -- stood outside from 1932 until it was removed in 2022 and later auctioned for $17,000 to Billy Corgan's partner, Chloe Mendel, and now hangs in Highland Park.

BYOB, closed Mondays.
