It’s a complete mystery to me how this gem which is a favorite to many Chinese folks have so few ratings! I cannot recommend this place enough. It’s a homey spot, with incredibly kind servers and impeccable food. The best part about their menu is for most dishes they offer “small” and “big” portions, so you can try plenty of new dishes by ordering the smaller size option. Been going to this place regularly since moving to Chicago, and it’s never disappointed anyone that I brought along, even my very picky parents…
Below are some of my favorites: braised beef, salt & pepper soft shell crab, and Cantonese style fried chicken. A must try for authentic and delicious Cantonese dishes. I am so glad this place survived quarantine!!
Not only is the food served HOT, but the service and atmosphere match. As soon as we walked in the place was semi packed but we were able to get in fast. The server was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu on the spot. Which helps a ton if this is your first time dining, I am not. The portions are fantastic and the flavors….WOW! The prices are reasonable for the sizes they dish out. Let’s just say Sharing is Caring and it can be fun, which here you definitely can. Get ready to eat and feel full but in the right way since everything served is FRESH!!!!!!! Let’s just say they make it Nice.

Finally made it back for in person dining at Golden Bull with a feast of farmer’s chicken claypot rice, steamed garlic surf clams, tofu and string beans. All delicious, really authentic and service was top notch.
Loved that they remembered what we used to order even though the last time we visited was 2 years ago! ????

Hi guys;
Today am going to share some information about a new favorite in Chicago Chinatown. Last weekend we visited Golden Bull for the 4th time and with the experience we had I can finally tell you this place is like heaven for Asian food lovers. A small family owned little restaurant with great friendly and genuine service that transports you right away to Hong Kong. The Cantonese cuisine here is as authentic as it can get. Trust me, I lived 9 years in Hong Kong and traveled all over Asia and I can guarantee you that the quality and authenticity of this place is outstanding with little competition. I am sharing three pictures from three different dishes you can’t miss if you try this place.
The shredded cold chicken is to die for. The soft shell crab is spot on and the honey walnut shrimps are just addictive.
Hope you enjoy as much as we do and definitely we will be back for more! Menu is generous and they have plenty of other very recomendable dishes that will blow your brains!

This is my go to place for family styled Chinese dinner. They have always delivered quality food and service. The manager there is extremely nice and welcoming. She remembers us every time we go in for a quick dinner. Their free desserts (sweet soups) are always a treat at the end of the delicious dinner.

Great place to eat if you want authentic Chinese food. They are always busy for dinner because the food is great. Service is wonderful. Large menu to choose from. Have been going there for 20 plus years.

Golden Bull is one of my favorite restaurants for Chinese food. I ordered take-out and the food was cooked by the promised time and was an appropriate temperature. The dishes that I ordered were: Walnut Shrimp, Eggplant in Special Garlic Sauce, Tenderloin Steak cooked with Black Pepper Sauce, Mandarin Pork Chop, Stir Fried Lotus Root and Mixed Vegetables, Farmer’s Chicken, and an order of Egg Rolls. Everything that I ordered, I would recommend. The food was hot, except for the Farmer’s Chicken which was served cold. Rice is included with the dishes and is a perfect vehicle for absorbing the saucy dishes. A good thing about this restaurant is that they offer both a small and large option, which gives you flexibility to order specific portions. If you’re ever looking for a good place to eat in Chinatown, consider eating here at Golden Bull.

This is my favorite Chinese restaurant and my go to spot when I go to Chinatown in Chicago. We fly from Houston just to have Chinese there.. The food is always prepared fresh. My favorite dishes are the Orange chicken, the walnut shrimp, the pepper steak and the deep fried lobster with Ginger. I love their shrimp fried rice also. One of the best things that my wife and I like is the tea is that they give you with each meal. We were there for our anniversary My wife chose the Golden Bull over a nice steak dinner somewhere else. You won't be disappointed.
