    Order online or scan QR code in the Molly's cupcakes and they'll bring it out. Looks like a shared kitchen. The hot chicken sandwich was quite substantial and tasted excellent! The combo was good too but definitely go with the sandwich. Took a fried rice home and gave it to my Chinese mother in law. She gave it high praise which is pretty legit since she hates everything.

    Honestly, I have been waiting for this place to open up again, and it did not disappoint. My friend and I went to pick up an order after class, and I got the orange chicken and veggie fried rice while he got the BBQ fried chicken. The orange chicken also came with some white rice and steamed broccoli, which went great with the chicken. The sauce was sweet and flavorful, and the added slices of oranges were a nice touch. The veggie fried rice was nicely seasoned, and had a wonderful amount of veggies. I didn't get the chance to eat the BBQ fried chicken, but the comment on it were, "It's so good!!". Definitely coming back for that lemon pepper chicken!!

    Update: BBQ pork, the best ever! Run, don't walk to try their delicious food. Please don't ever leave the South Loop area, Henry 😁 Recent soft opening, located temporarily in the Molly's Cupcakes to pick up or eat in. Totally worth the wait and hype! I grew up in Chinatown eating this style of food and it did not disappoint. Can't wait to try the BBQ pork when it's available 😋

    Had the salt and pepper fried chicken sandwich, and it has been one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I have ever had. Do recommend. It's a ghost kitchen inside of a cupcake shop, so you can order cupcakes for appetizers. I had a blueberry cheesecake. And they have swinging seats instead of chairs.

    Amazing Chinese food. The best in the city. We went two days in a row because it was that good. We were traveling from out of state just to come here and it did not disappoint. I wish all owners and staff of a restaurant were as nice and welcoming as 3 little pigs was. The concept of where to dine in made this experience even better. It’s well worth the adventure!

    This review is for the spicy chicken sandwich, it’s great! Very juicy and just with the right kick. The fries are perfect, although I think they add MSG to them, I’m okay with that I just wanted to point it out. There’s one thing you should be aware about this place, restaurant is next to a very gritty area, there’s a lot of people entering this place and simply falling asleep on the chairs of the restaurant or rummaging through trash in front of customers who are eating their food. And the people running this place don’t seem to care about it. Again, food is great, but ordered it to go!

    I think 3littlepigschi has a really tasty food. I’m an Asian and for me the price is reasonable because the quality of food is great. They have fresh fried chicken and tasty Fried rice. They use chicken thigh for fried chicken is more juicy than the breast. Plus, bbq pork is unique. It’s not like traditional old Chinese taste. People preference are different but I still like this taste and love the recipe they came up with. I personally like the concept that you can eat whatever you customize in the rice box and the price based on what you choose!

    Finally tried 3 little pigs tonight even though we only live a 5 min walk from it! Overall very very good. The fried rice, bbq pork, and dry chili lemon pepper chicken was so good!! Portion sizes are good except for the Mongolian beef. Picture on toast makes it look like there’s a lot of beef, but there were way more onion slices than beef, so we won’t be getting that again. Would love to try the crab Rangoon and sandwiches next!

    I really like the orange chicken from 3littlepigschi. They have fresh fried chicken. Chickens are soft and juicy, yet crispy outside. They use chicken thigh for fried chicken which is more juicy than the breast in my opinion. It's perfect for me. Plus, the orange sauce is incredible and super unique!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. I will definitely come back to try more dishes. Ps. the price's reasonable and I never complain about the price at the restaurant because I have no time to cook for a great food with a lot of efforts at home. I'm always happy to pay for the food I like. I'm an Asian. I know how they likely spend money. If you want to save more money, then don't go out lol.

    Salt n pepper sandwich was better then the spicy one (wasn't spicy). Good size. Dark meat through me off and messed with the breading. A lot of crunch with no chicken behind the bite. Soggy bottoms buns due to excessive mayo. Finally, the crinkle cut fries were tasty and crispy.

    Fried hot chicken sandwiches were HUGE and so tasty and flavorful! The fries were also really good but may not be for everyone bc they definitely have a hefty amount of MSG. But I loved them. Spring rolls were $5 and a scam since they were the size of my pinky. Ordering is done at a kiosk, and wait time is average (10-15min). The woman at the register asked us what number we were since she saw we came back for our food after waiting for 20 min. The kiosk never gave us a number nor a receipt. She looked confused and just handed us our bag. Only downside is that there are hoards of homeless and beggars hanging around this corner so watch where you step because there is lots of urine smells, spit, and random food items every 2 feet. There was also a homeless guy scrounging around in the garbage cans inside the restaurant collecting other people’s trashed food and piling it onto a plate. He then started eating it while walking around the restaurant before leaving. Off putting and the staff did nothing. There was also a transient nodding off in a chair for about 25 minutes with his mouth open.

    I’ve been wanting to check out 3 Little Pigs for a while and so glad I finally did (and will be back very soon). They are an awesome addition to the South Loop. We ordered for delivery via Uber eats and everything stayed fresh on its way to us. Ordering takeout can be a hit or miss especially with fried chicken and it maintained its crispiness in transit. We loved all of the sauces we tried, especially the BBQ sauce, which went especially well with the crispy chicken. Their orange sauce was bright and citrusy, and the hot mustard was a great choice to add in with the veggie spring rolls. The flavor of everything was excellent and definitely want to check out the chicken sandwiches and burger next!

    Brought several friends to try their food and we all agreed that 3 Little Pigs Chi has the bestest Chinese food in town! The BBQ pork was hands down the best I have had in the US. They were super tender and tasted just like how a real authentic asian BBQ pork should be. Their famous orange chicken tasted different than all the others I have had — definitely more orangey and juicy. The biggest surprise and my fav dishes were the fried rice and the lemon pepper chili chicken. The fried rice was super well seasoned with garlic being the main outstanding flavor and aroma. The lemon pepper chili chicken was just a random pick, but the zesty, tangy and peppery seasoning goes very well with the crispy fried chicken it ended up being my favorite dish of the meal💖💖💖
