Triple Crown In Chinatown

The opening of a new restaurant in Chinatown is always a welcome thing. The Triple Crown now open in their second location in the heart of Chinatown at 2217 S. Wentworth brings traditional Cantonese cuisine in a open and bright atmosphere. The large bay windows from the second level overlook the bustle of Wentworth Avenue.

The addition of fish tanks with live lobster, crab, sea bass and toliver fish lets you know the seafood is fresh. A large screen TV shows Chinese entertainment. The spacious room has the family style set up with round tables seating four to 10.

We always enjoy the addition of a new restaurant in Chinatown. The menu includes Dim Sum with great variety including the braised chicken feet delicacy and numerous hearty lunch specials. Our buffet lunch included pot stickers, chicken wings, shrimp dumplings, noodles, fried rice with bottomless cups of tea and steamed curried chicken and bar-b-qued pork buns being passed. The menu includes several sizzling platters and casseroles as well as Szechwan style dishes. There are several options for seafood including octopus and frog.

No event in Chinatown would be complete without the dragon dancers and drums. The unofficial mayor of Chinatown, Gene Lee of the Mayor’s office presided over the opening ceremonies introducing the Eng family (mother Ling and sons Morgan and Spencer) who are the owners of the Triple Crown. Others extending well wishes were Miss Chinatown, Natalie Hoy, Jerry Wong, Director of the Chinese Benevolent Association and representatives of the Taiwanese and Chinatown Chambers of Commerce.

One more reason to take a trip to Chinatown, to visit the Triple Crown Restaurant. They are open daily 9am to 10pm with lunch specials from 11am to 3pm and they end Dim Sum also at 3pm. They make it easy for you to show up by having three hour parking at Chinatown Parking for $2. It’s always fun in Chinatown, come by and check it out.
