Peter's Chinese Cafe

Since 1985, Peter Chan has overseen the action in the Congress Park neighborhood from his small eatery, where both he and his take on Chinese American fare have become a staple. When the craving for sesame chicken or moo shu pork strikes, give Peter’s a call (you won’t find it on any delivery apps). Most of the business here is takeout, though there are a few tables; if you’re picking up in person or dining in, you’ll also get a front-row seat to Chan’s particular brand of hospitality, which can swing from warm to funny to fiery in minutes, in the most charming way possible.
