3LP, a restaurant blending Chinese and American cuisines, started during the COVID-19 pandemic as a ghost kitchen. Founded by Henry Cai, the eatery has gained recognition for its diverse menu featuring both traditional Chinese dishes and fast-food items. Noteworthy celebrity patrons have included Jelly Roll and Action Bronson. The restaurant is rooted in Cai's cultural heritage, reflected in its signature dishes like Hot Pot Beef sandwiches. Now boasting multiple locations, including Chicago and Anaheim, Cai expresses pride in maintaining quality while expanding the brand beyond its original 'mom and pop' operation.
"Its unreal that these celebrities know about our brand," said Henry Cai, owner of 3LP. "It's an honor."
"It represents me as a Chinese and an American, staying true to both sides of my culture," said Cai..
"My wife loves hot pot and one day I just decided to take the cooked beef and put it in a bun," said Cai. "It started off as a joke and now its voted in the top ten in Chicago."
"Now I'm really proud of what we've accomplished, having multiple locations, and hiring staff," said Cai. "From having a 'mom and pop shop mindset to focusing on the brand but still maintaining the quality."
