Perhaps I came on a off day (Thursday), but the food and services were below decent.

Beware of going here. I stopped in for a quick bite. I bought some Tofu and Cabbage soup with pork chop and eggrolls.

They’re racist :/. I ordered food for pick up and the woman who gave me my order took a picture of me on an IPad.

“The best Chinese food I ever eat for long time.”

The best Chinese food I ever eat for long time. This is the first time I was impressed with the taste, portion and service. This place should be a must to visit when you are in Chinatown area.

“Very delicious and they always give generous amount of food.”

Very delicious and they always give generous amount of food! I’ve been coming here over 2 years now and they never seem to disappoint. The dry hot pot here is really good and you can choose from a variety of vegetables and meat. The service is also exceptional!

“This is such a gem in Bridgeport.”

This is such a gem in Bridgeport! Delicious tasting food and great value as well. I love their clear noodle salad and fish in spicy chili oil. We also had soup dumping and beef with pickle mustard and they are good as well. We had plenty of leftovers for next few days. Must come and try!

“Amazing and delicious food.”

Amazing and delicious food! It doesn’t take very long to bring the dishes out and we found all the ones we tried were so tasty (highly recommend the cumin beef). As other reviews mention, the service is lacking once they give you the food, but considering the taste and the affordable price/portions, we will definitely be back!

This place made me fall in love with Chinese cuisine, which I was very sceptical about before. The portions are VERY rich and the price is reasonable. The staff is very polite and attentive. Feels very authentic and tasty in there.

“I've ordered delivery from this restaurant for more than 30 times.”

I've ordered delivery from this restaurant for more than 30 times. Tried almost everything on their menu and they NEVER failed to satisfy. Highlights include stewed meatball, stewed ribs, garlic fried pork, etc... So many to name. Tried their three cup chicken today and it is soooo good. I can't believe how a northern Chinese cuisine can cook a Taiwanese entree to such perfection. The owner and the host are always super friendly and accommodating when I called to make customization on my order. This is hands down the best Chinese food in Chicago!

“I love the da pan ji (big plate chicken).”

I love the da pan ji (big plate chicken)! So flavorful❤️. Other dishes like the lamb dumplings and lamb stew and beef shank noodles were also really delicious. I didn't like the mapo toufu because it tasted a little bit different than the traditional way but my mother in law liked it. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. We would come back when next time in town.

“I live on the northside and will gladly put up with 90E during rush hour traffic to eat...”

I live on the northside and will gladly put up with 90E during rush hour traffic to eat here...Sooooo I think it’s safe to say I’m a big fan of northern taste. It’a my first go to when someone ask me what’s your favorite Chinese restaurant. The food is always on point and the portion size is amazing, you won’t leave hungry that’s for sure! To be honest writing this review made me crave it more now...I think I’m going make another trip. I highly recommend 3 items that (of which I order all the time) -The clear noodle salad: it’s super tasty and refreshing. If you like peanut flavors you’re in for a treat! -The lamb kabob & scallion pancake are bomb by themselves but combine them and you’re in foodie Heaven. -Popcorn chicken...just...simply delicious. You’ll understand when you eat it.
