About

MCCB Chicago, short for Modern Chinese Cook Book, is a Michelin-recognized Chinese restaurant located at 2138 S Archer Ave in Chicago's vibrant Chinatown neighborhood. Founded by four experienced food enthusiasts with over a decade in the Chinese food industry, the restaurant blends authentic Sichuan and Cantonese traditions with a modern, creative approach. The signature dish is a charcoal-grilled whole wild-caught tilapia, soaked in a hot chili broth and served tableside on an exquisitely carved stand with a continual charcoal flame underneath. The space feels contemporary and culturally rich, and suits date nights, casual group outings, and everything in between. Vegan and vegetarian options are available, and the restaurant is kid-friendly.
