Bites is the family gathering place when I visit my daughter in the city. The General Tso chicken was just a bit dry but still good. The jumbo shrimp won tons were awesome! My daughters favorite is the honey bourbon sesame chicken. Staff is excellent and the restaurant is so welcoming and pretty.

Was surprised that Little Village “Turkish” changed cuisine to “Thai”. None the less, service and food were great. Good sized portions. BYOB. Definitely will be back. Great for those attending a movie at the Century Landmark Theater, shopping or just sightseeing in Lakeview
