Northern City

Food + DrinkBridgeport · Northern Chinese (Dongbei) Community-sourced, unverified
📍 742 W 31st St, Chicago, IL 60616

Northern City opened in direct, unspoken competition with Homestyle Taste a block away — both chasing the same underserved Dongbei niche in Bridgeport.

$$

The menu runs large, mixing Americanized staples like crunchy fried orange chicken with the real draw: thin-pounded lamb marinated in cumin and chilies, a genuine regional specialty.

Reviews have been more mixed than its neighbor's, with some dishes (greasy pot stickers, limp bok choy) landing softer than the kitchen's better efforts — worth trying for the lamb specifically rather than ordering broadly.
