Reviews
As a big dim sum fan, I thought this place was awesome! We arrived right when they opened and were the first group seated. By the time we finished our meal, the dining room was completely full and there was even a line forming outside, which is always a great sign. Unlike some traditional dim sum restaurants, they don’t use carts here. Instead, you order from a paper menu, which I actually prefer because it’s easier to browse all the options and make sure you don’t miss anything. Everything we ordered was freshly made, looked beautiful, and tasted delicious. We even had to stop and take photos before digging in! The staff was attentive throughout our meal, and the food came out quickly despite how busy the restaurant became. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely come back the next time we’re in Chinatown.
This is the best restaurant in Chinatown and one of the best in Chicago. The food is always spectacular and the service goes above and beyond. We always have three or four waiters servicing our every need with a smile. Very reasonably priced with the highest of quality. You won’t be disappointed.
We come here quite often for lunch and dinner because they have fairly good and comfortable seating. They are usually busy especially during the weekends so it's best to make reservation. The quality of food is somewhat hit and miss. When they are busy, the quality goes down. Tonight the food was only ok. We didn't like how the lobsters were cooked. We preferred the ginger and green onions much better. We spent more than $450 tonight but once again, the quality was not the best. Service, on the other hand, was very good. She was very helpful taking time to give us suggestions on what to order. Overall, as long as they keep up the quality, this restaurant should meet your expectations.
