"Home-style cooking is this unassuming restaurant’s forte and the menu yields options that go beyond the typical orange chicken. French-style steak and jumbo steamed oysters are hits, but delve deeper to find beef tongue in XO sauce, jelly fish, and fried pigeon, too. Those in need of late-night sustenance should order the hearty rice casseroles that are packed with chicken, quail, frog, and more. Just make sure to order ahead because the casseroles take some time to cook." - Jeffy Mai
"It’s common to see families at this small BYOB Chinatown spot sharing a bunch of Cantonese dishes as another table splits a 30-pack of Heineken doubling as the centerpiece. But though their massive menu has plenty of hits, one dish should always be included at the table: the claypot rice. The very hot bowl gives the rice a crispy crust, while soy sauce, juices from your protein of choice (the farmer’s chicken is our favorite), and Chinese sausage fold into sweet, savory (and also very hot) spoonfuls." - john ringor, adrian kane
"Tucked away on a quieter section of Cermak Road, Golden Bull delivers no-frills homestyle cooking. Pan-seared beef and the enormous steamed oysters are terrific, and those needing late-night sustenance will find salvation in the rice casseroles. Place orders online." - Ashok Selvam

"A favorite for home-style Chinese cooking, Golden Bull serves dishes like ribs in black bean sauce, deep fried quails, and hearty rice casseroles. The restaurant is also ideal for Father’s Day gatherings as it offers set menus that can accommodate parties ranging from 2-10 diners." - Jeffy Mai
