San ti S.: Great dim sum . Pork belly was amazing. Roast duck. Chinese vegetable w/oyster sauce.. 11 different plates for $66 for 4 people. 25 min wait, but well worth the price and food . Super busy @ lunch.
Tiffany Lam: Great dim sum! Has an easy picture menu where you mark off which dishes you want and they bring it out to you. Bolo bao (pineapple bun) is my favorite.
Teresa: One of the best dimsum places in Chicago! The late night dimsum option is great, but the selection is more extensive in the daytime than at night.

Time Out Chicago: The chef is killing the dim sum competition with his creamy egg-yolk buns, dumplings stuffed with shrimp and scallop, pumpkin congee and steamed rice-noodle crêpes paired with crunchy bits of celery. Read more.
Anna: Awesome dim sum spot!
Aaron K-C: By far the best dim sum in Chinatown. Better than Phoenix IMO, but I do have certain loyalties to Phoenix

pinsuda sagooleim: Looked for a dim sum option on the North Side and went on Yelp! Great recos. It was sooo delicious and is definitely my new favorite! I dare say beats The Phoenix in Chinatown!
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.

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.

Matthew Horowitz: The brunch dim sum is excellent. So many awesome flavors. Excellent atmosphere, music and service.
Zoe: Love at first bite with amuse bouche —The sashimi is unlike any other, savor the fried chix, short ribs perfectly balanced, you’ll leave wanting to come back to try everything you didn’t order.
Alyson Yoder: Our server, Patrick, really put forth effort and kept us on track with getting to our concert at Thalia. Order the root salad and brûlée cheesecake

Lori Novak: Come for the dim sum lunch!
Myra Rubin: Love the atmosphere and the terrace. If it's your 1st time I'd recommend lunch. Service during dinner seems lacking. Recommend the foie gras dumplings...delish! And specialty cocktails

Gene Yankovsky: If the weather is great, the terrace is a must for cocktails or authentic Chinese dim sum at Shanghai Terrace
Mandy Swanson: Beautiful lobby, went to the bar for drinks. Bar is cozy, masculine, and has a fireplace. Luxurious without being pretentious! Great retreat for the winter.
Crain's Chicago Business: Afternoon tea downtown doesn't get any more refined or memorable than this.The pastries are exquisite and numerous, including a teeny, tangy lemon meringue tart. Read more.
