“Exceptional asian food. Not a fan of peanut butter in my egg rolls but I think that might just be a Chicago thing lol”
“Very good authentic Chinese food. Delicious clams and chicken. Very impressed by the quality. It’s served fast. Rice bowls are small. Great staff and very authentic food.”
“I had the lobster and it was delicious. Worth the price and worth the wait. Definitely 5 star place to go to”
“Golden Bull exceeded my expectations. The service was outstanding and our server gave genuinely great recommendations. I ordered the soft shell crab with black pepper and it did not disappoint. The flavors were exceptional, delicate and layered in a way that reminded me why authentic Cantonese cooking is so special. As someone visiting from Mexico where authentic Cantonese food is nearly impossible to find, this meal felt like a real discovery. The food is quality and nothing felt greasy despite being fried, though next time I would add a vegetable or greens dish to round out the meal. This is the kind of place where you trust the staff and let them guide you, and it pays off. If you are visiting Chicago and want an authentic experience you simply cannot replicate back home, Golden Bull is the place.”
“Super authentic Chinese food in Chinatown. They have multiple seasonal promotions. We are here during the weekend so tried few items our local Chicago friend recommended, love the flavors.”
“I believe it was the best chinese food I've had in a while, the wontons were great too, gulped it down to fast and missed a picture but this is thevplace setting, tea and water”
“CRAZY good food, on par with solid restaurants in Hong Kong and Singapore. Had the oyster, the eight treasure tofu, the soft shell crab and even the pea pods are a delight. They do a great orange chicken if you wanted some American Chinese, which is a real gem too. Super friendly service, rice/water/tea refilled at breakneck speed. I'm coming back!”
“Fresh tasty food . Can’t go wrong with traditional Chinese food”
“It was packed and busy. A very fast pace environment. We were seated right away upon entry. Great communication and service. The food is fantastic. We will be coming back for more seafood.”
