- Egg Tofu with King Mushroom**: This was my favorite dish, as I’m a huge fan of Japanese egg tofu— the tofu is steaming hot, cooked perfectly, and bursting with a delicious fried egg flavor

Go 4 Food — top-tier chinese in Chinatown. Casual, established, and unapologetic about it. You can taste the generations behind this. BYOB. "The salt and pepper chicken was AMAZING, chicken was juicy and well seasoned and it was hot and fresh" — Howard Lin

🍷BYOB — grab a bottle next door, they'll open it.

The best Orange Chicken and Dumplings that I have had in over 10 years.

The salt and pepper fish fillet was perfectly crispy, light, and packed with flavor. The ginger and green onion lobster was incredibly savory, with fresh, sweet lobster coated in a fragrant sauce that kept us coming back for more. If you're a seafood lover, Go 4 Food is absolutely worth a visit.

We got the crispy Cantonese style chicken (half) which they put a lot of time and effort into, and it was so worth the wait! It fed me and one other person. The employees are quite nice as well

Este restaurant asiático será mi favorito en la ciudad de Chicago, cada vez que vaya tendré que ir la comida, está espectacular, el ambiente súper agradable, 100% limpio y por supuesto muchísimas gracias a la server Sol, que habla español e hizo de mí visita mucho más confortable, ya que me ayudó a elegir lo que realmente quería sin duda alguna tengo que volver. Los jugos naturales estaban riquísimos. Al igual que toda la comida

This is one of the best seafood restaurants in all of Chicago. A hidden gem in Chinatown worth checking out for fresh seafood cook the old school HK style. I would recommend the razor clams and oyster for seafood. The millionaire rice is heavier but still delicious. The beef and turnips are competitive with any of the other cantonese establishments in Chinatown. All in all, fresh home-style cooking with quick service in a clean corner of Chinatown. 100% recommend!!!

It’s been one of the best Chinese seafood restaurant I’ve had! We recommend razor clams, oysters, sizzling pots. We can’t wait to try new dishes next time.

Aak them to bring your rice with the meal. If not, send it back. Totally unacceptable and I don't know if it is the house policy. We ordered 4 entrees and the rice arrived after we had finished 2 of the entrees not pictured...

LOVED THIS RESTAURANT IN CHINATOWN!! I read some reviews prior to going to Chinatown and this was the most reviewed and well liked restaurant. I completely agree! I would 100% come back to this restaurant. Great service, outstanding food, and cozy atmosphere!

I grew up eating Chinese food all the time, and I can confidently say that Go 4 Food is a true gem among all the restaurants in Chinatown. The dishes here are consistently delicious, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. You can just tell that the owner puts genuine care and pride into every plate served. This is the kind of place where customers are not only well-fed but leave feeling happy and completely satisfied. Highly recommended! I will definitely go back for those razor clams and for the biggest oysters I've ever seen!

Go 4 Food is a solid spot for Cantonese flavors. We had the tea-smoked duck, salted egg tofu, and sizzling squid. The duck was especially flavorful with a nice crisp, while the tofu was rich but tasty. The squid arrived sizzling at the table - a true showstopper!. We wished we’d tried more of the fresh seafood dishes, but we’ll reserve those for next visit. Overall, a solid stop for Cantonese flavors in Chinatown.
