San ti S.: Great dim sum . Pork belly was amazing. Roast duck. Chinese vegetable w/oyster sauce.. 11 different plates for $66 for 4 people. 25 min wait, but well worth the price and food . Super busy @ lunch.
Tiffany Lam: Great dim sum! Has an easy picture menu where you mark off which dishes you want and they bring it out to you. Bolo bao (pineapple bun) is my favorite.
Uyen Tran: Macau pork belly is soooooooo good! Great place for dimsum :)

Time Out Chicago: The chef is killing the dim sum competition with his creamy egg-yolk buns, dumplings stuffed with shrimp and scallop, pumpkin congee and steamed rice-noodle crêpes paired with crunchy bits of celery. Read more.
Anna: Awesome dim sum spot!
Time Out Chicago: This is classed up dim sum at its most traditional, mirrored by the over-the-top, glitzy, gilded look of the second-story restaurant, making it a favorite pick for Chinese wedding banquets. Read more.

Chris Steele: Go on a Sunday for dim sum in the banquet hall upstairs. Don't miss the shrimp fun rolls, pork shumai with scallions, chinese broccoli or red bean sesame balls. Order the balls fresh from the kitchen.
GrubHub Chicago: Who said dim sum is only for weekend brunch? Furama will deliver you those awesome shu mai dumplings (pork & sh. dumplings) for lunch and dinner.
Steven Anderson: Always good dim sum!

Matt Dicker: Lots of good options here. I go with Cai for dim sum and Lao Sze Schuan for lunch/dinner, and Bon Chon for wings. But feel free to ignore me and find your own great spots.
Michael Sheehan: Fantastic dim sum 🥟
Daniel Crum: I had a good time in Chinatown, & it was definitely one of the highlights of my Chicago experience. Stock up on candy, bubble tea, & cultural goods! I just wish there were more entertainment options.
