Opera restaurant in Chicago does not only boast an excellent selection of delectable dishes but it is also know for possessing one of the most attractive decors in town. Opera restaurant has been rightly named Opera since it is bright yet subtle and elegant in its décor and atmosphere. The bold red and orange combination creates a warm and a romantic aura and this is equally matched with the exceptional array of Chinese delicacies. Redefining Chinese is the chef who creates a visual and a sensory delight of aromas, textures and tastes.

The main entrée at Opera  restaurant features an assortment of delicious Chinese specialties such as Singapore noodles, firecracker chicken, a preparation of chicken breast in roasted chilies, cilantro and scallions. Crisp orange beef and Kung Pao beef where the first one is accompanied with lettus, scallions, peas and the second one comes in a chili-garlic black bean sauce with roasted peanuts and cilantro.
