February 2025 Mini Break

We’ll be back at Sun Wah real soon!

After being at the frontlines of Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s and Chinese New Year, Sun Wah BBQ has scheduled a few day’s off. The restaurant will be closed February 4th through the 6th. That’s Tuesday, Wednesday, and our usual off-day Thursday. The restaurant reopens with normal business hours starting Friday, February 7th.

January 30, 2025 – Still closed Thursdays. Mostly.

Excepting major holidays and unique circumstances, Sun Wah BBQ uses Thursday as its off-day. For January 30, the lights may be on that particular Thursday, but only for a scheduled private event. No seating for the public will be available. The only sliver of possible service will be an available carry out counter for pick up orders. Planning a major gathering of your own? Consider our upstairs Event Level.

October 31, 2024 – CLOSED Halloween

For Thursday, Sun Wah BBQ will be closed on Halloween, not because it’s Halloween, but because it’s our off-day Thursday. Beijing Duck Dinners will once again be available for goblin on Friday November 1st. Happy Halloween!

July 26, 2024 – City Maintenance is Finished

On Friday, July 26, Sun Wah BBQ will be closed during the morning and will reopen at 1:30pm. The City of Chicago will be conducting work on their water system for the region.
