" I feel like Northern Taste is one of the best-kept secrets for Chinese food lovers! The menu is rich with options, allowing for lots of experimentation with different dishes. I’ve been here a few times, and my favorites include their spicy eggplant and the chicken with black bean sauce. The flavors truly remind me of the authentic meals I had while traveling. I can’t wait to keep trying various dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a mixed experience at Northern Taste last night. While the food was undeniably flavorful, I had expected a bit more authenticity considering the restaurant's name and reputation. The dry hotpot was spicy, but the rest of our dishes lacked a certain depth of flavor. On a positive note, the staff was friendly and the portions were quite filling. I think I may give it another shot, perhaps on a busier evening to see if the experience improves. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm so glad I found Northern Taste! The authentic flavors and generous portions always make my day. The spicy noodle dish I tried was full of textures and freshness, and I couldn't get enough. While the place could use a little sprucing up, it has a homey feel that softens the atmosphere. I can't wait for my next meal here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Northern Taste has become my go-to restaurant for Chinese food in the city. The flavors are incredibly authentic, and the menu offers a range of options that cater to both spice lovers and those looking for something milder. My favorite dish has to be the mapo tofu—it has the right amount of heat and complexity. I appreciate that they also provide large portions at a reasonable price, which makes it perfect for sharing or saving for leftovers. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is a hidden gem for those who appreciate authentic northern Chinese dishes! The flavors are rich, and the ingredients are fresh. Tried their lamb dumplings and was blown away! It's hard to find such tasty dumplings in Chicago, and I am grateful someone recommended this awesome restaurant to me. " (*Curated Review*)

I especially love the lamb skewers and the the garlic fried pork—they are absolutely irresistible! The cozy atmosphere adds to the charm, making it one of my favorite places to unwind after a busy week. Trust me, you won't regret dining here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Each visit to Northern Taste delights me! The staff are so attentive, and the food tastes so authentic. Portions are quite generous, which I appreciate. I'd say the cumin lamb and sweet and sour dishes are must-tries! While the decor isn't the most stylish, the homey feel complements the warm service. " (*Curated Review*)
