Excellent food, low prices and friendly service. Be forewarned that when they ask you how hot you would like your food anything above medium is quite hot. Not sure about delivery, but I am sure you are able to order and then pick up. As far as Chinese goes the only Chinese restaurant that I have been to in Jefferson Park was chosen by my sister in-law who thinks adding black pepper to mac and cheese is a real culinary adventure and it was so bad that I won't even mention the name. For great Chinese food get in the car and drive to my favorite, Three Happiness in Chinatown, the small one across from the firehouse, not the large one on the corner. Excellent seafood, noodles dishes and sand pots.

At least I think it is Jefferson Park, I am not exactly sure where Jefferson Park is (Milwaukee/Montorse?) you might want to post cross-streets. Great Sea is a Chinese restaurant run by Koreans and has Chinese, Korean influenced Chinese and some Korean dishes. To be honest I have been going there on occasion for years and have never ordered anything Chinese, but I have seen them served and they look good. To me Great Sea is a one dish restaurant and I, and most all of their customers, order the fried chicken with sauce. The version at Great Sea is plump, crispy frenched chicken wing drumetts served in an oily scallion, chili sauce with slightly sweet undertones. The fried chicken with sauce tastes a lot better than my description reads and is their version of a popular Korean snack that can be found at most Korean groceries. I also like the sauteed cuttle fish with hot sauce and the cha chiang mein. Cha chiang mein is homemade noodles with a thick, slightly sweet black bean sauce, very nice. The hot bean curd is good also. Great Sea in keeping with its Korean roots serves daikon radish kim chee and also an interesting side dish of cut sweet onion with a very rich dark bean paste for dipping the onion into.
