Chicago TribuneApril 16, 2015The peking duck is assembled tableside with cucumber, scallion and sauce atop puffy, bao-style pancakes. Another nice touch is the stir-fried duck and vegetables that follow. Read more
Serious EatsMay 21, 2013Dumplings: Carts of steaming dumplings come fast and furious, and it's best to take whatever you get. Not all the other dishes are worth the effort, but the dumplings are usually a satisfying bet.
Heather FolsomMay 15, 2017Get the runny egg beef, Japanese fried rice, & chicken with pan fried noodles (chow mein).... Then mix them all together. OMG heavenly. This place is delicious & beautiful inside. Usually a wait tho.
DailyCandyDecember 30, 2013"Our senior food and home editor, Emily Fiffer, refers to the food here as 'shrimp clouds.' Tip-top dim sum seven days a week, myriad dipping sauces, and fair prices.Go on a weekday to avoid crowds."
One of the best dim sum restaurants in Chicago Chinatown. Have to go early on weekends, or be prepared to wait
The Quest For ZestJune 14, 2012A fantastic place to try dim sum. Go with a group of friends and try as many different dim sum as you can eat. Read more
Anthony LinJuly 23, 2015This place used to have the best shanghai soup dumplings. New management has eliminated these tasty morsels
Don't expect to walk in and set good authentic Chinese and good owners. Love this place
A favorite for Dimsum & Chinese cuisine. Food is good as ever, though I'm disappointed the Dimsum rolling carts don't go around anymore. And some of the staff are rude & barely speak English.
Keith PeltasonDecember 17, 2015mao pao tofu has minced beef in it. the dish was in the vegetable/tofu section of menu. they apparently disregard dietary concerns.
John WongSeptember 23, 2012Dim sum: ha gao (shrimp dumpling) ; Siu mai (pork dumpling); and pai guot (steamed pork ribs) were all very good. Expect waits on sat and sun from 11-2. Wait staff is mediocre at best.
Abby J.August 27, 2012Arrive before 11 a.m. Items with pork were very tasty, the fish not so much. If you dislike the thought of a bowl of slimy tofu covered in ultra sweet syrup, do not order the tofu soup.
- Sarah LeeAugust 10, 2010Ditto! Well worth the drive from Kalamazoo! A couple of must haves: wu kok, chee cheong fun, pey tan cuk, har gow, lo ba ko & fried eggplant.
Ron AnastacioFebruary 10, 2014Dim sum is awesome, but there is a long wait in the morning. Not so much after 12pm on Sunday- Very good dim sum, get there early, especially on weekends
Deep fried taro puffs (wu kok), stuffed bean curd, and lo mai kai!
JTDecember 16, 2017The bbq pork buns and other dim sum items were not bad, don’t get the egg tart though it’s strange

"I am addicted to this place! Come hungry & order the whole Peking duck dinner and a cold beer, you won't be disappointed. For around $50 for two, you'll get tea, soup, fried rice and a whole duck car"
