Gao's Kabob Chicago

Chinese restaurant · Chinatown

@infatuation

"Open daily until 2:00am Gao’s Kabob is open every day until 1:30am and doesn’t really start getting busy until 9pm. Even on a random Monday, this BYOB Chinese BBQ spot is packed with people passing around six-packs while skewers of garlicky fried intestines and spicy grilled lamb land at each table. With all the activity (plus some music from Chinese variety TV shows) filling up the room, it’s the perfect place if you’re looking for a boisterous hang any night of the week.
