Comfort Food Classics
Tucked just off Wentworth, Go 4 Food feels cozy upstairs but hides a downstairs party room where King Crab feasts and long tables turn it into a full-blown celebration spot. Creative Chinese seafood dishes and a Michelin Guide nod make it a favored choice when groups want a shared, slightly splurgy meal without white-tablecloth formality.

Scores:
Value: 7.6
Service: 7.8

Insider tip: Call ahead to reserve the King Crab feast and downstairs party room.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street and metered parking nearby, but spaces can be limited on weekends; several paid neighborhood lots within a short walk.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual — groups often dress slightly nicer for celebrations, but jeans and relaxed attire are fine.
Noise level: Moderate to lively during group dinners — conversation is possible, but larger tables can get energetic.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation, longer for large groups or crab feasts.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, except during peak tour or convention weeks.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — several vegetable, tofu, and noodle dishes, but the menu skews seafood-forward.
Vegan options: Limited — a few vegetable preparations may work with modifications; best to confirm with staff when ordering.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free program — some dishes may be adaptable, but soy sauce and sauces are common across the menu.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better suited for group celebrations than intimate first dates — the shared plates, large portions, and lively energy favor parties over quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Often yes for small parties at off-peak times, but reservations are strongly recommended for weekends, large groups, or King Crab feasts.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — family-style service works well for older kids and multi-generational dinners; limited space and stairs may be less ideal for strollers.
Best For
Better for: Celebratory group seafood dinners, shared platters, and special-occasion feasts without formal fine-dining stiffness.
Skip if: You want a quiet, romantic meal, strictly vegetarian dining, or a menu with extensive gluten-free or allergy-specific accommodations.

Weekend wait: 45–75 minutes without a reservation; large groups should book well in advance.
Weekday lunch: Usually minimal wait, though small parties may be seated faster than groups.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for fun, energetic dates than intimate ones — the room is lively, tables are shared with big plates, and the experience is more about celebrating great food than quiet conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, but expect a wait during prime dinner hours — walk-ins are common, and leaving your name and exploring nearby streets is typical on busy weekends.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for families with school-age kids and groups — spacious tables and shareable plates work well, but noise and tight seating during rush may be tough for strollers or toddlers.
Best For
Better for: Seafood-focused group dinners, celebratory meals, and Chinatown diners who want creative fusion plates and signature crab dishes in a lively, modern setting.
Skip if: You want a quiet meal, strictly traditional Cantonese menus, or require extensive vegan/gluten-free options — a calmer, more specialized restaurant may be a better fit.
