Two significant things happened to Mr. Hong in 1977: his son was born and he opened his Cantonese take-out place in Highland Park. Thirty-three years after, his son is a grown-up and 3 Stars Lung Wah's business remains brisk, thanks to its signature egg roll and Mongolian beef. In 1998, Lung Wah moved to a new location near the busy intersection of Park Avenue West and US-41. If you're picking up your order of Mushu, Hong Sue and Almond Duck, it's easy to miss this hole-in-a-wall. The best description may be that it is at the back of Dunkin' Donuts.
Lunch specials include Chicken Chop Suey and Kung Pao Shrimp. Dinner combo starts at $8.99 from Monday to Saturday. Customers can request to omit salt or MSG.

Around since 1998, this Viccino's (there are four other branches around the northern suburbs) doesn't have any tables, but you can perch on a bar stool and engage in a little people-watching while enjoying your Quattro Formaggio slice.
