“Bao si Sweet Potato is so so good!!!! Best Chinese restaurant in town!!! My bf and I come every week from Oak Park!!!”
“来芝加哥练车 顺路在这家东北菜馆吃了一顿 点了番茄炖牛腩和烤冷面 东北菜量就是大 番茄炖牛腩肉特别多 番茄汤也很浓郁 烤冷面就是正宗的东北烤冷面 刷的酱也很好吃 下次一定还会再来”
“Impressive Northeastern Chinese cuisine. Arguably the top one in this style I have had in US. Highly recommended: Guobaorou, Tiger veg, Sauerkraut, or just ask their friendly attendants for recommendation!”
“老式鍋包肉一樣我的愛♥️♥️ 拔絲地瓜好吃 溜肥腸很大份，不鹹可單吃 酸菜豬肉加血腸 好吃血腸好吃 肥腸燉茄子 下飯 東北一鍋出 還行 土豆絲還行 酸菜豬肉水餃 酸菜味不明顯 大拉皮 我怕辣 還好”
“总体来说 还不错！ 大拉皮有点水，酱汁太稀了！ 烧茄子做的有水平，鹿鸣春的水平！ 溜肝尖 切的有点厚！ 太厚了！ 溜肉段可以！ 血肠有待改进！ 锅包肉 汁儿没挂匀！ 估计这的厨子有老墨！没学到位啊哈哈”
“This is legit my newfound favorite restaurant! The food never ever disappoints! First restaurant where I’m unafraid to try new dishes! Everything oozes with bursting flavorful goodness! I’ll keep you updated on everything!”
“We came here as four people and ordered about seven dishes. Overall the flavors were good, portions very big, and some dishes stood out. • Sliced beef tenders and pork w. spicy sauce (夫妻肺片): The best dish of the night — seasoning was excellent, portion generous for an appetizer. We even packed one to go. • Shreded potato, the chilly one (尖椒土豆丝): Actually tasted more like sweet-and-sour potato, not really “chilly.” Flavor was fine, just different from the name. • Small combination (小拼盘): Pork head, beef, and Harbin dried sausage. All cured meats, flavorful but quite salty. • Ganbian string beans (干扁四季豆): Traditional and authentic, but a bit salty. • Sweet and sour sliced pork, the vinegar flavor (老式锅包肉): Very crispy, big slices, vinegar taste made it refreshing. Definitely recommend this version over ketchup style. • One pot dish (东北一锅出): With ribs, beans, corn. This one was disappointing and below expectations — I wouldn’t recommend. Service wasn’t great: the waiter seemed rushed, kept pushing us to order, and one vegetable dish we ordered never arrived. Environment was okay, not too crowded. 👉Food overall is tasty and authentic Northeastern style. but skip the one pot dish.”
“Hidden gem for Northern Chinese food. The soup we ordered had lots of veggies and tofu. The sweet and sour is different from what you get with American Chinese food. It's is crispy and the sauce is lighter with a vingery tang. The glass cold noodle dish is so good and refreshing. It's in a peanut sauce that is not sweet and works with the noodles.”
“Overall decent at least the 油条豆浆weekend only, will try more dish next time”
