I was delighted to find the Lotus Leave Sticky Rice with chicken without pork or shrimp while the rest of the ladies complained it is not authentic without them. Nonetheless, they hit all the right spots for dim sum reminiscent of childhood. So for the nostalgia of seeing the square from the floor to ceiling picture window, for the authentic Cantonese flavors, the great chrysanthemum tea, the witty waiter and attentive service, a 5 star is warranted to keep the legacy of this place going in Chicago Chinatown. Besides, they updated their menu to be quite veg. friendly. So no excuse go find something yum!

A Chicago Institution. Good food. Excellent Waiting service. Good prices. If you never had Dim Sum. Please try this place. read more A Chicago Institution. Good food. Excellent Waiting service. Good prices. If you never had Dim Sum. Please try this place.

Service was super prompt and they never let your tea pot go lower than halfway. Recommend going here early when they open to avoid crowds.
