Chinese Dim Sum in Chinatown Chicago

Updated on May 2, 2010

I had such a craving for Chinese Dim Sum every now and then. So, I decided to drive two and half hours to Chicago yesterday to eat! Of course I got together with my mom, my sisters, my brother-in-law, and my nephews. We arrived around 9:30 AM at Shui Wah Chinese Restaurant in Chicago. It is located at the Chinatown Square on Archer Avenue in Chinatown. That is the popular Dim Sum place in Chicago. I think they open at 8:30 AM. If you don’t want to wait long, I suggest that you go there before 9 AM. We had to wait for a few minutes but it was not bad.

We sat down and they gave you an order sheet. We started checking everything on the list! Well, almost did! In some of the bigger places or some of the bigger cities like San Francisco, New York, San Diego, they actually push the carts full of Dim Sum to let you pick out whatever you like instead of ordering from a sheet. If you happen to go to Chicago Chinatown for Dim Sum, you are not sure what to order or expect. Don’t worry, I will show you some of the delicious Dim Sum with pictures so you know what it is when you order.

We ate so much that everyone must have gained a few pounds! I thought I share some of the Dim Sum with you here! Enjoy your Chinese Dim Sum. Here is a link you can visit for more information.
