Chowbus was founded in 2016 as a food delivery platform that empowers local independent restaurants and stores with the technology, tools, and marketing to grow their business. Furthermore, Chowbus helps people discover local Asian cuisine that isn’t easily found on traditional third-party delivery apps. Chowbus provides a curated list of high-quality mom-and-pop restaurants and stores (paired with real food pictures), a unique bundling feature that allows users to order from multiple restaurants in a single delivery with no added fees, and reliable delivery service. Our app is currently available in 24 cities across North America, serving over 1 million users.
Welcome!
On behalf of OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates, Greater
Chicago Chapter, I would like to welcome you to 2022 AAPI
Restaurants Week!
The purpose of this exciting culinary adventure is to showcase
restaurants owned by Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders
from both Chicago and the suburbs.
Inside this directory you will find a variety of restaurants,
including food trucks, offering various Asian, Hawaiian, and
non-Asian cuisines.
The directory is sorted by neighborhood/suburb, cuisine, and
restaurant name. I hope you will find the time to visit as many as
possible and support our AAPI community and restaurateurs.
OCA Greater Chicago does not guarantee the accuracy of the
information for each restaurant. If you have any questions,
please contact the restaurant directly.
Bon Appetit!
Mabel Menard
President
OCA Greater Chicago
