It's a hidden traditional Cantonese dim sum place. Food: the food is as tasty as it supposed to be to be or even more flavor than the new dim sum places. Service: the unties are very friendly, no matter how many times you ask them for help. Ambiance: it's not like the fancy dim sum places, but have to say match the price, and I really enjoy the no line no waiting with similar ore even better taste while Chinatown is super busy.
Overall Thoughts: This is a solid dim sum option on the outskirts of Chinatown, about a 20 minute walk from central Chinatown. As such, it's a lot less crowded than the other dim sum spots in Chicago and was relatively empty when we went on a Sunday. It was also cheaper than other Chicago dim sum spots I've been to-- it was just under $16 per person + tip for a group of 10. Overall, the food is good and tasty. They have all/most of the classics as well as a few unique items that I haven't seen at other dim sum spots in Chicago, like the pork floss egg sandwich, which I really liked. Some of the dishes were a little cold though and they also forgot 1-2 of our orders, but it was fine; we were pretty stuffed anyways. Otherwise, the service was quick and efficient. -- Price (relative to peers): 4.8/5 Food: 4.3/5 Ambience: 4.4/5 Service: 4.3/5 Overall Value: 4.3/5
This is my favorite place in Chicago Chinatown. Many of the reviews complain about the woman manning the cash register as being mean and rude. It's true, she is, but that's the price for getting very good Cantonese cuisine, at a very low menu price. Just suck it up and don't take her rudeness personally.
I stay in a hotel without a kitchenette working one week a month in rural Illinois and pass by Chinatown on my way from O'Hare so I stock up on food here. The cooking in this hole in the wall place is only so so but it is easy on and off the Dan Ryan. Some of my favorites to take with me are beef brisket stew, soy sauce chow mein, chicken with green onion which all travel well. Lobster lo mein is on special but I don't trust seafood after a 2 hour drive. If you are an aficionado of sinewy, chewy texture, the spicy chicken feet in the refrigerated case by the cash register are not to be missed. There is a small section of baked goods but they are often pretty much picked over by the time I get there in the mid afternoon. Dim sum is served until 3 pm everyday.
Hidden gem! Love their lobster noodles and dim sum for lunch. They also have a big selection of baked goods when you first walk in the restaurant - I highly recommend their paper wrapped cake and sesame ball with red bean paste
