This is our favorite dim sum place. We used to go to Phoenix but we think this is better. Typical Chinatown place which means low on atmosphere (except for lots of happy people chowing down.) It's all about the dim sum here which is excellent. Low prices too! Highly recommended. more

Authentic Dim Sum except the tables are tightly fit and you order the Dim Sum from a menu rather than them coming around with a cart to entice you with different dishes. Well worth the wait here! more

Great for dim sum, even better for dinner. Check out their specials menu (last time we tried the sticky fried rice...it rocked!). more

My favorite Chinese Restaurant in Chicago. Non-pretentious... great price, great food. When I lived here, this is where I go weekly, now that I've moved... this is where I come back to when I visit. Dim Sum in the AM and dinner in the PM are both good more
