The Best Dim Sum Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation
"This massive second-floor restaurant has been an Uptown staple since 1985, and remains one of the only places on the North Side of Chicago that serves large-format dim sum—complete with serving carts, steam baskets, and large menus. And we mean literally large—it has over 80 dishes, the most of any place on this list. More common options like steamed BBQ pork buns or siu mai are pretty good, but the best things are harder-to-find ones like quail egg dumplings or crispy seaweed rolls filled with pork and shrimp. On a weekday, it’s very easy to walk in and have your choice among their banquet hall’s sea of tables. But it’s busy on the weekend (especially during Drag and Dim Sum brunch which has drag performers on the stage in the back) so make a reservation." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru
