312-461-0161 | | | | | Description: SOUTH LOOP. Opera, somewhat surprisingly, delivers an acrobatic twist on regional Chinese cuisine in a onetime warehouse that blends wood-paneled walls with a collage of lamps and lights in riotous color. Begin with Eight Immortal squid, progress through spicy Singapore noodles and sweet pea-shoot stir fry, or choose the three preparations of Peking duck. Options for vegetarians abound as well. Chef Paul Wildermuth's dishes are all rooted in Mandarin traditions yet are thoroughly modern. Funky and entertaining.
