Chi Tung Addicts

An addiction? Really? Isn’t that a bit strong? Are we completely helpless against the power of Chi Tung? Not according to the Chi Tung Addicts on Facebook. The loyal group boasts 400 members and is growing.
Chi Tung’s humble beginnings sprung from a small storefront on 95th street in Evergreen Park, Illinois. Flash forward, Chi Tung has grown up to a three-kitchen Asian food emporium, with a massive parking lot that fills up on the weekends and a carryout board that never stops.
So what could cause this addiction? Maybe it is because the drinks are only $6.00. Really – the Zen saketini is $6.00. Zombies – $6.00! Maybe we are addicted because all of the food is just that good. It is served hot and fresh. The portions are quite generous. The offerings can be simple, like, orange chicken, or they can be complex and exotic. Whatever the case may be, I am in Heaven when my heaping hot plate of awesome Asian food is placed on the table.
There are three separate kitchens preparing the food from the three menu sections. They specialize in Chinese, Thai and Japanese foods. In addition, Chi Tung has a newly built Hibachi Steak Room and a Sushi Bar. On weekdays, Chi Tung has a nice clean lunch buffet with good offerings at a bargain price.
Special events are great at Chi Tung. Last New Year’s Eve, diners were treated to $20.00 gift certificates to use in the New Year as well as yummy boxes of tea to take home. On Chinese New Year, Chi Tung celebrated by having a Dragon Dancing in the parking lot, complete with Chinese drums. Very exciting!
Warning! The large parking lot gets packed on weekends, as does the bar and waiting areas. Reservations are accepted. Call ahead to minimize wait times on weekends and holidays.
