Great Beijing Chinese Restaurant

“Had a great group dinner with 10 others.”

Had a great group dinner with 10 others. They were able to accommodate us on short notice. Large menu with all the traditional Chinese food that Americans expect. It was very tasty. The server was very accommodating to giving us separate checks. The owners were also on site and super hospitable. Loved it.

“First: the owner/host is amazing in (at least) three languages.”

First: the owner/host is amazing in (at least) three languages. My parents speak with him in all three. And as they leave he says (in Korean bc that's their shared language) "be healthy, be happy, come back again soon." There is a branch of Chinese food that Koreans share in, and this is a restaurant that exists as that culinary bridge. This place is known for its house noodles: esp the jjajiangmyun (noodles in black bean sauce otherwise known as the number one comfort food in Korea) and the jjambbong (noodles in seafood soup). We ordered both. And the sizzling rice soup (the broth is delicious) as well as my dad's favorite: Mongolian Beef, bc the meat is very tender for chewing by elders. The service is attentive and they remember the order of regulars. And they even play popular Asian music that would be known to a certain generation. Best of all, the prices feel like they belong in the 90's. No complaints there. And the portions are generous.

“We’ve been coming here for decades, since I was in high school.”

We’ve been coming here for decades, since I was in high school. And time after time this place excels. Now my sister-in-law brings her friends from NJ/NY to Great Beijing, and they all agree it’s some of the best Chinese, especially Korean-Chinese dishes. It’s the restaurant my parents almost exclusively eats at when they eat out. They’ve held large dinners here with guests, and we love having impromptu family dinners here. During the Covid shut-downs we did take out but love eating in, with crispy fried dishes and lovely sauces. My cousin who moved to the area from So.Cal. also thinks this place is better than the Korean Chinese restaurant of the same name in Garden Grove (it’s a place all Southern Californian Koreans know) from our childhood. Every friend I bring to this restaurant, regardless of heritage, loves it. They have great lunch specials too. The host has been the same gentleman for the past 2 decades and he’s friendly and enthusiastic and remembers us. The wait staff are also veterans and have stayed with the restaurant for ages. Quick, friendly service, food is slayed hot and delicious. My go-tos: Yangjiangpi (seafood and pork and julienned veggies tossed in a mustard sauce, great as a salad) Kampoong shrimp Sweet and sour pork or beef Jjiajangmyeon Jjamppong Yusanseul (love the creamy sauce and scallops) Shrimp fried rice I’ve had the 5-spiced cold sliced beef and some of the white soupy noodles and they’re all very good. Highly recommend, year after year!

“We happily drive 40 min just to eat here.”

We happily drive 40 min just to eat here! Since moving to Chicago 25 years ago, this spot has been my go-to for amazing "Korean Chinese" food. While it’s quite a drive from where I live, the hospitality, consistent food quality, and affordability make it well worth the trip. From the moment you arrive, the owner’s warm greeting sets the tone, and we’re often served by the same server—a sign of a happy and well-run establishment. As someone with experience in the F&B industry, this speaks volumes. Happy employees lead to happy customers. Our usual order includes 짜장면 (black bean noodles), 짬뽕 (spicy seafood noodles), and 탕수육 (sweet & sour pork). Occasionally, we’ll add dishes like 깐풍기 (crispy garlic chicken) or 고추잡채 (stir-fried spicy peppers and pork). Every dish is flavorful, generously portioned, and consistently delicious. It’s clear that this restaurant has built a strong reputation and continues to serve its community with pride.

“If you’re looking for authentic flavors and large portions that make your eyes pop, this place is a winner.”

If you’re looking for authentic flavors and large portions that make your eyes pop, this place is a winner! The food tastes like it came straight from Grandma’s kitchen (if Grandma cooked professionally). Quick service, big servings, and prices that don’t break the bank. Come hungry, leave happy… and possibly with leftovers.

“Great tasty food that cures the cravings.”

Great tasty food that cures the cravings! Service is friendly and welcoming. Hunan chicken has tender breast meat and includes pea pods, mushrooms, bamboo and baby corn in a spicy sauce. Egg roll wrappers are just right, on the thinner side. Sauteed four greens has a nice brown sauce and the veggies are cooked with a slight crunch. Many options on the menu with everyone's favorites.

Had usual black bean sauce noodles and other dishes. yum! I would say it's one of best in Chicagoland area. If your in area give then try. The dishes not so much of hype but noodles are really good.

“This place is a staple in Lincolnwood.”

This place is a staple in Lincolnwood! It’s one of the only table service Chinese restaurants in the area and it’s always filled with regulars! The food is always fresh and the service was also great! They have a deep menu and I’ve never had anything I didn’t like here. Prices are reasonable and the manger who works the front counter is hilarious! He makes us smile every time we come in!

“We love this place.”

We love this place. The entire family loves it. They have great service and will do anything to make sure you’re happy. Our go to dishes are amazing. We usually don’t leave anything to take home. Mongolian Beef, orange chicken, chicken lo mein, and Kung Pao chicken are all just delicious. Their prices have started to come down. During the pandemic and last year prices had risen considerably but now have started to come down. We even love the manager who always says, “good bye, see you tomorrow.”

“A Chinese restaurant plus some Korean dishes, very traditional northern China food.”

A Chinese restaurant plus some Korean dishes, very traditional northern China food. The owner is a Korean Chinese. Food is very tasty but not salty.
