Red Light
Rickshaw Republic
Rickshaw Republic is in a cozy yet modern space on Lincoln Ave. Their menu features typical dishes from the various Indonesian islands. The menu was created by the Setiawan family, native Indonesians who have thankfully decided to bestow their rich culinary culture on us lucky Chicagoans!
Rickshaw is BYOB, and I think beer pairs just fine with this Indonesian style street food.

The exquisite Asian decor enhances the intimate atmosphere of this venue, which is unique to the city of Chicago. The Shanghai Terrace offers Eastern skyline views over Chicago, serving Chinese cuisine with an emphasis on Cantonese and Shanghainese Specialties.
Shine Restaurant
Shui Wah Chinese Cuisine
Star of Siam
Sunda
The restaurant’s name is a nod to the Sunda Shelf, a Southest Asian Landmass, and incorporates modern takes on dishes from throughout the region. A large chunk of the lineup is devoted to China and Japan, but fare from other countries, including Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand, makes an appearance too. Expect new Asian dishes such as Malay-style Chilean Sea Bass, Crab-crusted Ahi Tuna with Japanese hot mustard-soy glaze, pork shank confit with garlic-foie gras gravy and watercress salad, and a couple of Asian-inspired noodle dishes.
