CHINESE BBQ SPOT IN CHINATOWN 🦀

After my recent visit to Gao's Kabob in Chicago's bustling Chinatown, I just had to share more about this incredible spot! You might have seen my initial review, but there's so much more to explore here than just the surface. If you're searching for an authentic taste of Chinese BBQ and fantastic seafood in the city, look no further. This place truly stands out. Let's talk menu, because that's what everyone asks about, right? Beyond the delicious kabobs, which are a definite highlight, their selection is quite impressive. I highly recommend diving into their Xinjiang Special Lamb kabobs – they're seasoned perfectly and incredibly tender. The Small Lamb with Fat skewers are also ridiculously flavorful and a must-try for any lamb lover. Don't overlook the Pepper Beef either; it has a great kick! For something a bit different, the BBQ Grilled Quail is a unique offering you won't find everywhere, and it's cooked to perfection. Now, for the seafood enthusiasts, this is where Gao's Kabob truly shines, living up to its "Chinese BBQ & Crab" tagline. While they might not have literal 'dragon lobster' on the menu, their Snow Crab Combo and the generous Seafood Boil are absolute showstoppers. Imagine succulent crab, shrimp, and more, all tossed in a flavorful sauce – it's a feast! Their Spicy Stir Fry Shrimp and Special Crawfish are also fantastic choices if you're looking for something with a bit more spice and a hands-on eating experience. Pair any of these with some simple Rice to soak up all the delicious sauces. Beyond the main dishes, they have some great sides and unique items. The Grilled Garlic Potato Slices are surprisingly addictive. And if you're a noodle fan, the Northern Dandan Noodle offers a comforting and savory option. Don't forget to end your meal with their delightful Golden Bun – it's the perfect sweet finish. To wash it all down, their drink selection is pretty diverse. I personally enjoyed the refreshing Peach Green Tea, but they also have classic Milk Tea, vibrant Watermelon Juice, and aromatic Jasmine Passionfruit Green Tea. It's great to have so many options beyond just soft drinks. The atmosphere at Gao's Kabob is lively and casual, perfect for a gathering with friends or a relaxed dinner. You can tell by the buzz that it's a local favorite. It’s located right in the heart of Chinatown, making it super convenient to explore the area before or after your meal. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned fan, Gao's Kabob offers a memorable dining experience with its diverse menu and authentic flavors. It's definitely a spot I'll be coming back to again and again!
