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!

Best dapanji (3 plate chicken), lamb skewers, fried fish, and green beans. Friendly service. Good portions. Husband loves the scallion pancakes and dumplings. Been going for 4 years now. # 1 Chinese restaurant in Chicago for us!

A hidden gem in Bridgeport! Delicious and very affordable lunch specials which include soup/vegetable egg roll. Known for their scallion pancakes…will definitely be coming back.

The portion sizes were very generous! They give you bottled water for free.
The restaurant is spacious and pretty clean. The service is very friendly.
General tso’s tofu: the fried tofu was crispy perfection in texture. The dish was tasty but a little on the sweeter side. Not spicy.
Boiled Beef in Chili Sauce: has a mala taste to it but it’s a mild spice. Not too numbing. It was tasty but could be spicier.
Scallion Pancake: a nice crispy snack with a subtle scallion taste.

Beware of going here. I stopped in for a quick bite. I bought some Tofu and Cabbage soup with pork chop and eggrolls. It comes in a huge gigantic bowl white bowl. I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it. It was really hot and salty I only had about 4 spoons and took it to go. I figured I’d just add water to it at home. The older lady took it to the back to pack it up for me. The bowl of soup was so heavy she even had trouble lifting it. She came with one container wrapped to go in plastic. I immediately couldn’t believe all that soup fit into one container. When I got home I transferred the soup into a medium sized plastic bowl. The soup did not even fill the bowl half-way and it was clearly way less liquid. The lady clearly threw out some if not most of the soup. I was so frustrated which is why I decided to write this review. Just terrible!!!!!! Why not just give me my liquid in another container? Very disappointing.

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.

It was my 1st time trying out this restaurant with my family. We ordered the Dry Hotpot, Pork Dumplings and Lamb Skewers. The dry hotpot was super tasty, it was spicy and numbing at the same time. Our spice tolerance is usually quite high, but tonight my husband was all sweaty and kept drinking his tea while eating the hotpot. If I can make a suggestion, please go easy on the “ma la”. The lamb skewers were quite good as well. The meats were big and well seasoned. My family and I will recommend this restaurant. We’ll be back to try other dishes on the menu.
Overall:
Food: 4 stars
Price: $
Service: 4 stars

Perhaps I came on a off day (Thursday), but the food and services were below decent. I expected a bit more flavor from a establishment showcasing Northern Chinese delicacy, but I was greeted with a very basic Chinese cuisine. The sweet and sour ribs dish had the ideal flavor but lacked a kick to it, and the poultry was not cured so I can still taste the griminess. The hot and sour fillet lack sourness and its spices can be summarized as msg, salt, and pepper. Then, the dish I was looking forward to, beef pancakes, came out short on flavor as well and seems like something I can create if I had gotten some pancakes from the market and stuff it with beef. There were two servers, but we were never checked on and they just continued playing on their phones the whole time. The setting was low light modern vibes with a traditional dining set up and ceramicware, wish there were music to set the mood. The only upside was the price, as it was quite affordable coming in at $42 in total for two people to come out feeling stuffed. Very hard to recommend Northern Taste as of this experience, perhaps I will need to come on a busy day to reevaluate.

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!
