Argyle is just as old as South Chinatown, and their founders (Jimmy Wong and Ping Tom) knew each other and competed with each other.
When people were displaced from the Original Chinatown Downtown, both Wong and Tom sought different locations to relocate residents and businesses. Tom chose Little Italy, since it most of the Italian residents had relocated and integrated into other parts of the city and much of the land was for sale. Wong chose Uptown because of it's association with Night Life, and it was farther away from the crime-ridden South Side. This is when the Chinatown Wars took place, mostly non-violent, as extra-location businesses spots were bought up around Chicago (mostly restaurant, import and furniture spaces) as a way for each location to flex their influence. This ended in 1998. Argyle has been known as North Chinatown and Little Chinatown, but has also been known as Little Vietnam and Little Saigon. It wasn't called "New Chinatown" until recently, and only by outsiders (and it's considered a pejorative because it insults the historicity of the area).
Edit: Also, New Chinatown is the Official Name of the Norther Additions of Chinatown on Cermak, specially Chinatown Square Plaza. Getting these two places confused can lead to you being treated with contempt by some locals due to the fact they will interpret the lazy unawareness as being intentionally disrespectful.

The writers of this video need to learn what the term “the Loop” means. It sis specifically the small area in downtown Chicago that is encircled by the L (elevated) tracks, specifically between Wabash and Wells (east and west) and Lake and Jackson (north and south) restaurants in River North or in the Fulton Market area are not in the Loop.

Smoque and pequods are the only 2 on this list I've been to...I like them both...but neither are worthy of the top 10, especially without Frontera grill/topolobompo included

[willyjoerockhead]

The only place i ate on this list is Smoque...number one on the list....i am poor so i never thought i would see anything in this video. I went there when it first openned back in 2006 or 2007.

Au Cheval !!! (Bone marrow or cheese burgs)

Was anyone born and raised in Chicago city limits asked to participate in this list of best restaurants or is everyone a transplant. One maybe two places are worthy of being on here. I remember being with my Mother and Father over 25 years ago at restaurant on Taylor street when food critics would show up at a restaurant to critique the food and an older women with an accent approached the gentleman who was a food critic (he was a local Chicago guy with a local Chicago newspaper) and said her family has passed down recipes for generations and there was no way he was going to critic anything good or bad and he was asked to leave. I wish there were more people left on this earth like that lovely older woman.

11:23 graphic says 1 pequods and it’s supposed to be about smoque

[Thelijah]

Pequads is essentially Detroit style pizza. Smoque being number one is a travesty.

[DegreeSurfer]

I know it may sound cliché but Gibsons is damn good

[SecretAsianMan]

Pequod's needs to get off this list. The crust isn't "carmelized" it's burned. The owner is a jerk and the pizza is bad.

Welcome. I was working in Israel. I am 28 years old, looking for a job

[yoseeev]

List was all over the place and inconsistent. Maybe would’ve went better without putting a rank on each restaurant.

[CraigN]

The pronunciation of some of the words are annoying.

So a restaurant is called Giant but yet only serve small and medium sizes, no giant portions. 🤔

GT Primes "Carnivore" plate cost $285 and the best they could do is feed us a NY strip with the other meat. Smh at least throw in a piece of ribeye!

[socoldinsidex]

Dude, how many chefs names are you going to ABSOLUTELY butcher? My god.

[SuperZap]

Smoque BBQ is the No. 1 restaurant in Chicago? And Pequod's Pizza is No. 2. Really?!? There are literally hundreds of better restaurants. I think Smoque is good, but is similar to hundreds of places in Texas. Pequod's...meh. I think it's all marketing. The original owner Katz, literally paid a bunch of newspaper writers and television food critics for publicity.

[davidayn]

Thankfully my tastebuds are different from yours. As for Alinea's: this restaurant is the forerunner of food being created in a petri dish. Molecular cuisine is food fit for a few, and thankfully I'm not one of the few. GT Prime doesn't belong here; as with some othe the other restaurants. It seems that this video is a paid advertisement that should be shown on cable TV between 2:00 - 5:00am.
