Chinese restaurant on Christmas

Mrs. Trpt and I are stuck in Chicago this year without family (hers in Mexico, mine in Minnesota) and we plan to do the traditional Jewish thing on Christmas, Chinese food and then a movie. Last year we had a great experience at Lao Sze Schwan, able to get a seat at 11:45 a.m. without a wait. We'd love to go to Phoenix but it's way too crowded even at 10:00. Does anyone have a recommendation for good Chinese on Christmas without a huge wait? Or even a good alternative with a moderate wait? Any consensus?
