Reviews
Nice service but slow. But it was Christmas mid day and packed. All dishes amazing. Took food home. Leftovers also amazing if you have plum sauce and Siracha. I do miss Three Happiness on the corner which had better service and food though. By a margin. I def recommend this place!
The food is great, it's larger portions of dim sum then you get in the western suburbs at MingHin in Naperville. (My go to dim sum in suburbs). The prices are better as well. I just don't like the hour drive into the city to get dim sum. But the food is worth it. We went to Phoenix dim sum on Archer. As I said the food is great. The service is not so great and the cleanliness is really awful. The chair covers are filthy. The bathrooms are filthy, The dish stations are filthy. The waiters ignored us and didn't check back after we got our order. They said if you pay cash you get 20% off your food bill during lunch. We gave cash and only got 13,% off. So we took the difference off the tip. In the future I will try some of the newer restaurants across the street as they are not the only dim sum restaurant in Chinatown. I just hope I don't get sick because the restaurant was filthy.
A decent and reasonably priced restaurant. Food is delicious. Service can be a bit slow, especially during evening/dinner rush hours. Portion is huge, and good to serve two people for 1.5 meals easily. Cleanliness could be improved. Overall positive.
Haven’t been here a bunch of times, but my experience was great. I was just before the dinner rush. They serve dim sum all day, so I started with some pan seared shrimp and chive dumplings which were great, then moved on to the Salt and Pepper Pork chops, which were awesome. Yes, you’re gonna have to spit out the bones. If that’s off-putting for you, go to Panda and order the General Tao’s chicken. This was a great experience.
It was our first time here, and this place is decently not too bad. I ordered the shrimp dumplings, chicken fried rice, and fried pork. The fried pork was good but super moist (wish it came with some spicy sauce or something instead of sugar). The fried rice was okay, it needs a little more flavor though. The shrimp dumpling was super good however. Overall, the place is okay. It seems quite fancy and prices come out to be pretty high (around $30-$50 or more). I would not eat here again, considering the price and the food (not too impressed). The service was good however!
They had a large variety of food and most were pretty good! Highly recommend their chicken feet and bbq pork buns. Their drinks were pretty strong too! Servers didn't talk too much but was good.
Great place to buy frozen restaurant quality dim sum- limited selection. Cash only. Not a sit down place as you only buy what is available that day from a counter. Har gow, siu mai, pot stickers, soup dumplings, BBQ pork buns, etc.
We recently had the pleasure of revisiting this dim sum restaurant, and it instantly transported us back to the days when it was our absolute favorite. The nostalgic flavors and the warm presence of the familiar staff created a truly memorable dining experience.
During our visit, we were treated to a variety of outstanding dishes, but the real stars were the fun rolls. To dim sum enthusiasts, a plate of tender fun rolls filled with beef or tofu sets the golden standard for a quality establishment, and this restaurant certainly exceeded expectations. The flavors were well-balanced, and the texture was just perfect.
Another standout dish that delighted our taste buds was the beef offal. Its bold and savory profile made it an instant favorite at our table.
However, we were a bit disappointed to find that our beloved dish, the fresh squid in shrimp paste, was no longer available. It was a dish we always looked forward to, and its absence was felt.
Despite this minor setback, we are eagerly anticipating our next visit to explore more of their delectable offerings. We are confident that the restaurant's exceptional dishes and the warm hospitality of the staff will continue to make it a favorite spot for dim sum enthusiasts like us.

Went for dim sum on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered a bunch of dishes and a couple entrees. The portion sizes here were hella large, you definitely get your money’s worth. The food tasted good, not the greatest Chinese food you’ll eat but still delicious. I’d recommend going with your friends or family and eating “family style” instead of ordering by yourself.
All the food we had was excellent. The shrimp dumplings were really shrimp and the bean curd rolls were surprisingly flavourful. The scallion pancakes were super soft. They forgot one of our items and the beers came warm, but they are helpful and we enjoyed our food.
If you like dimsum, and like plenty of them, get your fill of frozen dimsum here and heat them at home
So glad to have been recommended to this place. Dim Sum house is a tiny shop in a corner of Chinatown under the bridge, on a one way street where most people won't pass by.
Yet they hold what many people love, DIM SUM! Now we can have delicious Dim Sum at home and at a fraction of the cost!
20 pork Sui Mai costs only $7.5! Now instead of one tub each, we can have 20 Sui Mai each :D
