Bustling restaurant serving dim sum & traditional Chinese fare in a space with traditional decor.
"As the name suggests, this two-story Chinese restaurant on the border of Chinatown and Bridgeport is the sister restaurant of Furama. Like its sibling, it’s big: The first floor is a large waiting area, and the upstairs is an expansive dining room serving an all-day dim sum menu that also includes Cantonese-style BBQ and other shareable dishes. Some staples, like the shumai, beef fun rolls, and the fluffy not-too-sweet pork buns are pretty good. Others (we’re looking at you, egg yolk bun that tastes like a sugar cookie from Jewel) are not. But since New Furama isn’t as busy as popular Chinatown dim sum spots Triple Crown and Phoenix, it’s good to keep it in mind as an alternative." - john ringor, adrian kane, veda kilaru
"New Furama is a solid option if you’re in need of dim sum at 3pm on a Wednesday (or anytime really, since it’s open seven days a week). This two-story Chinese restaurant is located in a strip mall on the border of Chinatown and Bridgeport, and is the sister restaurant of Furama in Uptown. The first floor functions as a large waiting area—perfect for congregating groups saying lengthy hellos and/or Midwestern goodbyes. Upstairs, you’ll find an expansive dining room serving an all-day dim sum menu that also includes Cantonese-style BBQ and other shareable dishes. Some staples, like the shumai, beef fun rolls, and fluffy-not-too-sweet pork buns are pretty good, while others, (we’re looking at you, egg yolk bun that tastes like a Jewel-brand sugar cookie), are not. Since New Furama isn’t as busy as popular Chinatown dim sum spots Triple Crown and Phoenix, keep it in mind as a viable alternative." - Veda Kilaru
