Best Dim Sum in the Midwest!. For anyone that misses China, this is the place for you. This is not the place to go if you want an American restaurant with "authentic" Chinese dim sum because this is an authentic Chinese restaurant. These are waiters that would be comfortable if you yelled "fuyuan!" when you need more tea, and the background music is like what you'd find on an overnight train to Beijing. The food is great Cantonese dim sum, there are always tables, and the service is very quick- once you've called them over. Whenever I miss Shanghai, this is where I go!…
A Truly Restaurant Nightmare.
Chinatown hasn't exactly have the best service, some places have good to average service. We decided to try this place out and we will never forget it. First the dining are is upstairs and there was
a strong odor coming from the bathrooms, which we later found out that the doors were "WIDE" open. It is the begining of winter in Chicago and it was freezing outside. Inside was the coldest restaurant I have ever been in, the staff and customers were in their jackets.
The staff was something unbelievable in a bad way. All of them carried their cellphones and answer them infront of customers. They yell across the room to talk to each other. One staff was clipping her nails in the middle of the restaurant infront of everyone, by the food she was gonna take to a nearby customer, that is the absolute truth. A customer next to our table was complaining about the weird taste of her food and the staff just noded and left. I try to order dim sum, but was told it is closed, and then a person next to us arrived and ordered dimsum, I told her about it and she said "try coming in earlier next time."
The food is something else it is overpriced and such small portions. Nine dollars fried rice had about 3 cups of rice in it. Mangaloin beef with maybe 10 slices of mostly fat beef and loads of onions and grease.
My advice is to stay away from this place like it has a radiation sign infront. There are much better places around Chinatown.…
Pass this one by!!. The staff was rude, the table not set for eating unless you could use chopsticks, asking for silverware, we were given 2 knives and 3 spoons for a party of 4. The food was bland, tasteless and overcooked as well as cold. Possibly asking for NO MSG means there are no other Asian spices or flavorings. The floor/rugs were scattered with empty fortune cookie wrappers and food on them. The Dim Sum is served for "breakfast, lunch and snacks"only, not for dinner. Where this restaurant got a four star rating is beyond my understanding. This is by far the worst food, not to mention Chinese food, I have ever tasted. The staff needs lessons in cooking, manners and presentation.…
Gross food, bad service. I took my wife and son to 3 happiness for dim sum. The wait staff came to our table quickly, but were rude and unhelpful. They were also dishing out cold greasy food. It was also overpriced. There are way better choices in Chinatown.…
Great view overlooking the Chicago Parking Lot & Red Line, and Chicago Chinatown Gate. The Big Three Happiness and the Small Three Happiness (the one that started it all), there use to be three of these restaurants in the 80?s, the one on 22nd Place was sold decades ago, now part of Chinatown Hotel. The remaining two Three Happiness, are own by two different owners, and they are no longer own by the Moy?s brothers (happily retired). The Bigger Three Happiness was bought by the same owner who own Furama Restaurant. Personally, I went there because I knew the owners and the restaurant managers, but I do not go there for dim sum anymore, great place for tourist and a nice view overlooking the Chicago Parking Lot & Red Line, and part of Chinatown. Cooking style is very similar to Furama, otherwise the Big Three Happiness still retain it own menu.…
