Today’s Lao Opening: Another Lao Sze Chuan Near Argyle

Is this what we’ve come to, that Tony Hu’s openings are so frequent that they just get tossed in as addenda to other Tony Hu openings? Apparently; on the heels of yesterday’s announcement of Lao Mala in the former Lure Izakaya space, comes word that a third Lao Sze Chuan (there’s a second out in Downers Grove) will open around September 1 in the former Marigold space at 4832 N. Broadway, near the Argyle street Chinatown strip. Which, paradoxically, could use a really good Chinese restaurant; it’s great for Vietnamese, and for Hong Kong-style BBQ at much-beloved Sun Wah, but not really so much for other regions of Chinese cooking. Who knows, by this time next year it may have the full complement of Chinese regions from Tony Hu, just like the Wentworth Chinatown. [Dish]
