An old friend of mine wanted to see how my recovery was going and suggested we go back to Great Beijing since I know the staff well and they wouldn't mind me sitting there longer than usual. It was comforting to see familiar faces and to be welcomed like royalty once we arrived. I had my favorite Family Style Tofu dish, and it was as delicious as I remembered. Although the tofu was fried, the texture inside was as silky as it could be. The vermicelli was a nice add-on to the dish. I loved every bite. My friend said her sweet & sour chicken was very good and ordered another one to take home for her husband.It was still early for the usual dinner crowd, so they didn't mind my longer-than-usual stay. As always, the food and the service were exceptional after all these years since my family arrived in Chicago. I will continue to support Great Beijing and recommend the establishment to my friends.

Great Beijing in Lincolnwood is a great alternative for Chinese-Korean fusion food. Ordered Jjajangmyun (black bean sauce with noodles) and Jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup). Both were good with plenty of meat in the sauce and soup. Not pictured but also ordered tangsuyuk or sweet and sour pork. The pork was overfried where it was crispy but felt hard. Overall, the food was good but not the best I had in the Chicago area. Plenty of parking, and they accept credit card. Service at the host is great but the server doesn't come around much once you have gotten your food. No refills on pickled radish or kimchi which was not ideal. Would go back if I don't feel like driving closer into the city.

We grew up going to Great Beijing for lunch as well as order carry-out for dinners.We are usually fans of their Mongolian Beef, the Samsung Jjambbong, and the Kang Poong Shrimp - unfortunately, the recipes or the preparation of the dishes changed as it's clearly not the same.The Mongolian Beef is on the sweeter end, but sometimes, it can be super sweet (like candy sweet); the Samsung Jjambbong recently was super watered down and inedible; the Kang Poong Shrimp used to have this addicting sauce, and the shrimp were huge - now, it's the typical Americanized version where it's mostly veggies, not much shrimp, and a weird-tasting 'sauce'.Not sure if I would return when I'm in town again...Service has always been efficient.Parking is available in their own private lot.+inconsistent quality of menu items+efficient service+private lot for parking available

I enjoy the food here, but so disappointed that they charge over what the menu prices are listed as. This was for dining-in. The bill is always written in gibberish. Asked for a new bill with prices and noticed they were higher than what is posted in menu. Will not give my business to these scam artists again. Watch your bills and make them write out your items on the bill. If you want food from there, only use carry-out as that way you know exactly what you are being charged.

Go to Chinese spot in the area! The owner is super nice and always welcoming! They have a great lunch special deal however I wish chicken fried rice was an option. My family and I usually always get the chicken fried rice with the Mongolian beef (ask for it to be well done)

I have not gone here in over a decade. The interior still looks the same as I remember it. I did noticed that there are more Koreans eating there than before. I usually see more Chinese customers than Koreans. I also noticed that their menu is written in English, Chinese and Korean. That was something else that was not on there. They also serve Korean kimchi (freshly made) and radishes side dishes while you wait for your dishes. This was something I did not expect or had in the past. The waitress was very friendly. She recommended some of the entrees to us and also told us how they make the kimchi a little differently than other places. They didn't use Napa cabbage to make them, but used green cabbage. The flavor was actually pretty good. It was a little spicy but we all loved it so much that the waitress asked if we wanted another small plate of it. Of course, we said yes!We ordered a lot of food since it was a party of 5 adults and 2 children. The best one we always loved and cleared the plate on was the Mongolian Beef. That was always our favorite in the past when we go here so we decide to order that again. It was delicious! Even my 2 nephews ate so much of them too. We tried the Egg Foo Young since my sister and her husband likes to eat this dish. They wanted to try to see how this restaurant makes them to see if they like this one too. It was a little disappointing. The sauce they made was a little bland. We can't taste much of the flavors. As for the Jiajianmian, it was really dark, so we couldn't even see the meat and other ingredients in the sauce. I almost didn't notice much meat in there so I thought it was just the noodles and sauce, but I guess I just had to dig deeper into the bowl to scoop them out. It tasted fine, but I had better ones. We also ordered half a chicken. I forgot how we wanted it cooked, but when it came out, it was huge. We only ordered half a chicken but the whole plate was covered with chicken. For portion size, it was big, but we didn't like that it was overly stir fried, I guess to the point that it was so dry. We ordered a tofu and eggplant pot too and that was fine too.Overall, I would still come back again and try their other dishes. Their menu is pretty broad that I will have to come back a few times to try them all.

Came here for dinner to celebrate Father's day early. We made reservations for a Friday night at 7pm. They have a parking lot so that is nice. The host was super nice and friendly and welcomed everyone who came through their doors. The service was quick, and the food came out fast. We ordered the egg foo young, chicken wings, a beef dish, mixed veggie dish, and original flavor black bean noodles. They also have seafood and chicken black bean noodles, but I like the original. We also ordered crab ragoons, but it never came, so we canceled it. We were super full with everything that came out. The egg foo young was a bit sweet, but it was ok, everything else was delicious. If you are looking for a place for good black bean noodles, this place is the place to get it. They actually have chunks of meat, unlike other places where you barely get any meat and just a bunch of onions. The portion is big as well, and it is definitely shareable for 2 people. If you are looking for some quick Chinese or Korean food, come check this place out.

03/17/23 -I've been a semi regular customer @ Great Beijing. The food has never been what I would call outstanding, but it's close to home. It's decent but nothing I would go back for on a regular basis especially when there are so many other restaurants. Part of the thing that kept me coming back is their friendly service & very generous portion sizes. This being said I have always dined in but tonight I was exhausted & ordered carryout. I have never ordered carryout from Great Beijing. With this being the lent season my wife doesn't eat chicken or meat so I ordered 3 seafood dishes 1). Shrimp Fried rice (nothing special) 2). Shrimp in Garlic Sauce w/mixed vegetables 3) Ginger & Onion fish w/vegetables. I got home & opened the box the box was only half filled (WTF). (See the picture). I really didn't feel like going back but I should have. As it is I feel like they gave me a minuscule portion. When I called in & brought this to the owners attention he said it was because they put broccoli in it. There were only about 6 pieces of broccoli in this huge container. This is not the first time I ate here but I'm not sure if I will go back again

Dropped In hoping to find a new go to Chinese restaurant. We got two Lunches. Came with soup as appetizers and fried or regular rice. The hot sour soup was decent. Missed the traditional things like tree fungus egg drop. Had the right amount of vinegar. The crab Rangoon had thick wrap w a little soft but not bad. Hunan beef was decent. Large portion size. The shrimp in lobster sauce had 8 good sized shrimp w passable sauce. Looked for more real Chinese options but the menu was more Americanized. I will keep on looking.

No no no One of the worst I've had and I'm over 60. We went for dinner and the waitress told me that somethings were done "differently " than most places( a couple dishes I asked about). It was very bland and mostly tasteless and/or poorly prepared.
