Addictive Dim Sum

by ThreeChiTownGirls at Citysearch

This is the best alternative to the South Side's Chinatown, this North Side gem gets our vote for affordable addictive dim sum! Usually no wait + Dim Sum served and delivered any time of the day or night!. My friends & I have made this our official "Lunch Spot". We want to try other places but keep coming back. The food is great for the price and it's affordable enough to try any item on the cart!

I've read the reviews and have to agree with some, yes the wait staff lacks English skills and the restaurant is showing its age, the vinyl chairs & tables with plastic liners are tacky - but we say who cares- keep your eyes are on the dim sum carts & you'll forget the decor! In addition the menu is great, with a large variety of Mandarin and Cantonese dishes. We have not had a bad experience in 5 years! The place is clean and has free parking too!

• Pros: Dim Sum for take out & delivery too! Any time!
• Cons: Ambience is dated.

Dim Sum in a Big Group

by interlingua at Citysearch

The best place for dim sum on the north side. The upstairs is huge and often a little noisy, as befits a real Cantonese dim sum restaurant. Be sure to try the Chinese broccoli, the shrimp dumplings and the turnip cake (not sweet but savory and available from the mobile grill) and sticky rice under clear, glass bowls. Staff speaks English (generally). Just ask them to uncover whatever they're offering. It's better the larger the group.

• Pros: Great food, Easy seating, Social dining
• Cons: , Too many choices, Little ambience
