Chris Steele: Go on a Sunday for dim sum in the banquet hall upstairs. Don't miss the shrimp fun rolls, pork shumai with scallions, chinese broccoli or red bean sesame balls. Order the balls fresh from the kitchen.
GrubHub Chicago: Who said dim sum is only for weekend brunch? Furama will deliver you those awesome shu mai dumplings (pork & sh. dumplings) for lunch and dinner.
Steven Anderson: Always good dim sum!

Matt Dicker: Lots of good options here. I go with Cai for dim sum and Lao Sze Schuan for lunch/dinner, and Bon Chon for wings. But feel free to ignore me and find your own great spots.
Michael Sheehan: Fantastic dim sum 🥟
Daniel Crum: I had a good time in Chinatown, & it was definitely one of the highlights of my Chicago experience. Stock up on candy, bubble tea, & cultural goods! I just wish there were more entertainment options.
