Reviews for Furama Restaurant in Chicago, IL
One of the best dim sum restaurants in Chicago. They push around carts for you to choose from on the weekends. Seriously, this... place is phenomenal and they have so many options! There is a location in chinatown too but I haven't had the chance to go yet.You can't go wrong here. Read more
Dim Sum around 11am, on a wkday, getting there b4 lunch crowd. We also had a very tasty duck dish, smelt (were small but very... good, served w a delicious, fresh jalapeño 'slaw'. We tried so many items from dim sum menu - ALL were great. Sauces served.I'll try to post a pic of menu (has pix). Can't post pix of food; wolfed down as fast as it was served. Prking lot, free is 2drs down. Restaurant is on 2nd floor but there's an elevator. Have also ordered Dim Sum Delivery. Everything tasted as good asit does in restaurant, delivery was in good time.

This is our first time eating here. I told then that I wanted the thick noodles not these dry noodles that taste like nothing. 3... wings for 8.90, not worth our $50 bill. I'd been better off eating a microwave frozen meal. So disappointed.. Read more
I have eaten at a lot of Dim Sum places growing up and as an adult, mostly on the west coast and a few places in chicago. While... overall I don’t think this is the best Dim Sum place, there are definitely certain dishes they do very well and others I’vehad better elsewhere. I would have given this 4.5 stars if I could since I just think specific dishes are lacking that I had.Overall, very delicious and satisfying. Portions are a bit smaller than I’m used to though. To start off, the place is HUGE.Service was very attentive and let us know when other food we were waiting on was going to come out soon. Had traditionalJasmine tea which I love. The pickled cucumber was great, Asian broccoli was also wonderful as well as the pea shoots! Ourfavorite was definitely the fried crab claw, Sui Mei (Pork version), along with various other dumplings. I think for me one ofmy favorite dishes is the BBQ Pork Buns in all versions. They were good but there was something lacking in it where it felt likenot enough was put into the buns and the flavor lacked depth that I’ve gotten at other Dim Sum places. Salt and pepper porkribs were okay, had some pieces that were mostly just fat and hardly any meet. The sesame balls, wow! I think these might be thebest sesame balls I’ve ever had. I was so pleased with them. There’s maybe one other place in chicago I overall like morethan this place but I will definitely be back for those sesame balls and fried crab legs! Also I was so surprised to see theyare open for dinner, many Dim Sum places usually do breakfast and lunch only so it was kind of nice to go for dinner when therewere less people and just because I was craving it at that time.

"touch the heart" This Saturday people packed the giant banquet space to settle in for the barrage of carts that wheeled by... brimming with a dozen different dumplings (shrimp-peanut, chive and pork stand out); fluffy buns (BBQ pork and pan-friedveggie-pork are awesome); and various fried and steamed morsels of hangover-absorbing snacks. Don’t miss the taro puff, ribs,pot stickers and sweet egg-custard tarts. Read more
The best dim sum I've had in Chicago. Everything is delicious – I particularly recommend the shrimp and scallop dumplings, the... shrimp toast, and the bok choi is a sleeper hit! If you have room for something sweet, the sesame balls are sublime. Read more
The foods are great. I ordered pepper Shrimp, fry fish and stir fry garlic pea pod. Services are amazing. I definitely... recommend. The whole day have dim sum. Read more
AMAZING salt and pepper tofu. The saltiness isn't overwhelming like some other restaurants, the inside is so soft with a crispy... exterior, and the jalapeños add so much yummy flavor. I personally like to order a side of white rice and mix it all together.Its so filling and delicious. Highly recommend! Read more
