Our favorite dimsum place in Chinatown. The food is consistently good, service is fine, and is in a good location with free parking. I would recommend making a reservation on weekends as they can get pretty full.

Wonderful dim sum experience highly recommended! Quite busy as soon as the door is opened so you know that’s good here!

Solid dim sum spot with quick service and reasonable prices. Menu has a few unique items that aren’t on your standard dim sum menu, and for the most part they execute good versions of the classics. The shumai is a standout, but you can skip the shrimp har gow Inside doesn’t have that many tables so waits can get long on the weekend. Since they’re so busy, the service isn’t very attentive (we never got one water refill the whole time) but it is efficient and I appreciate them trying to minimize table wait times

Walked over here after exploring the shops in Chinatown with guests. Got a seat right away! One of the teacups had dust but they switched it out quickly. It was easy to order the shareable plates and they all came out quick and were so good! For a table of 4 hungry people a plate of rice and 9 shareable went by fast. The tea was brewed very well too. Good spot to eat with friends!

Dolo, "多乐" lit. bountiful of happiness gave me quite the joy in the recent two times I stopped by. Amid a hot summer day, trying to look for free parking in Chinatown is no easy feat. Dolo has its own parking lot! If you manage to stop by before peak hours, it's super convenient to pay them a visit. The servers here are all very hard at work as we customers keep them busy, but they're still all helpful and sweet. I recommend you trying both their dimsum and full meal service. I especially enjoyed their Beijing duck combo, xiao long bao, and pineapple lava buns.

I came here between lunch and dinner time ~3pm in a weekend, and it wasn’t too busy. Food came out very fast. The steamed pork dumpling shu mai was delicious and flavorful and larger than other dim sum places. The fried minced pork dumplings were chewy and crispy, some of the best I’ve had in Chinatown. All the food was really good! My only very minor criticism would be the plates were somewhat small and felt cheap made of plastic and the seats were all torn up from excessive use.

Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) A very solid dim sum place. Based on both my experience and what I’ve seen online, this is easily one of the better dim sum options in Chicago.

Pretty good dim sum at reasonable prices. Many options. The waiter was attentive. Not much ambiance, other than older popular Chinese music.
