This is a Chinese BBQ place on the north side of Chicago, Sun Wah. It's the
second time they've been closed down in the last several years, the first
was for not maintaining proper temps for prepared foods. That I guess I can
live with but vermin infestation - particularly roaches - *really* turns me
off. I hate it because it's an old fave standby of mine but I won't go
back. Fortunately there are plenty of other options in the area (Thai,
Viet, Chinese...)...

Here is a discussion (with pic of the place with the big green "closed"
sticker on the door) from a local Chicago food board:
