Home Style Taste - Chicago

This is a great little Chinese restaurant. I 've had many entrees here and they are always perfect. They never disappoint. The staff here are always very polite and accommodating. I regularly go out of my way to eat here. Nowadays I mostly come for a lunch special (or two) and order a spicy numbing bowl to take home. A bonus: this place has some of the most affordable lunch specials anywhere in Chicago. Truly an amazing deal in 2023. A hidden gem of Northern Chinese cuisine.

A tasteful family restaurent. Their service is nice and helpful. The price is pretty fair to be honest. Will definitely come back!

The restaurant has room for improvement in its atmosphere, however the Mongolian beef and other dishes are amazing and served in generous portions. While the prices may be a bit high, the attentive staff and quick service, along with the delicious food, make it worth the cost. Overall rating for the food: 5/5.

Location well situated with ample free parking in residential area a block away; no need to fight the crowds in Chinatown. Best deals are the hard-to-find post-COVID $7.49 weekday lunches of authentic tastes, not the Chinese-American versions nor pricier versions as listed in other restaurants.

Northern Taste is located just outside of Chinatown at 34th and Halsted. It is worth seeking out. The menu has some Shenyang type specialties, like Lamb Skewers. But much of the menu is Sichuan, and authentically so. The feature we chose was the Spicy and Numbing Stirfry. You choose from a wide selection of vegetables, meats, poultry, and seafood. It is all fried together in a wonderful, rich mixture of seasonings and spices. We also shared an excellent West Lake Beef soup. With better quality beef than is usually found elsewhere, this too was a winner. Generous portions and helpful service, along with very low prices, make this a very important discovery. We eat here often and always enjoy it. Ine of Chicago’s finest Chinese restaurants
