Papajin - Chicago

  • Description:

    • All too often, there's no correlation between how it looks and how it cooks. Papajin, a stylish Chinese and Sushi place right in the heart of downtown Bucktown and Wicker Park offers elegance in both departments. Wicker Park's Papajin offers both Japanese and Chinese favorites on an expansive menu. On the Chinese side, there are sure bets like lemon chicken, mu-shu wraps and signature dishes like twice-cooked crispy duck and fried kung bo fish. On the Japanese end, there's teriyaki, tempura and an array of sushi rolls and pieces (delivered fresh daily from eastern Canada and the northern Pacific). Papajin has an energetic, stylish feel that fits right into the neighborhood, with a clean, elegant decor lit by funky white hanging lamps.

    All too often, there's no correlation between how it looks and how it cooks. Papajin, a stylish Chinese and Sushi place right in the heart of downtown Bucktown and Wicker Park offers elegance in both departments.
