Dim Sum Palace is a tradition for my friends, but it was our first time trying this location and I'll be honest, the illuminated murals and midcentury furniture made me a little worried. BUT! We were rudely seated, and as a table, we laughingly agreed that the emotional abuse from wait staff was probably a good omen, and indeed it was. RICE NOODLE ROLL: 5/5. So good. The noodles were silky soft and the shrimp was super fresh. SHRIMP DUMPLINGS: 5/5. A classic. The wrapper was thin and chewy, the shrimp was succulent. PAN FRIED BUNS: 5/5. The bread itself was a work of art. Usually I just pull out the stuffing, but the pillowy, sweet, thin bao bread stole the show for me. SHUMAI: 5/5. Another staple. It was fine, but I was too busy with the soup dumplings. SOUP DUMPLINGS: 5/5. SO much rich, savory broth. With the soy sauce and ginger? Transcendent. EGG TARTS: 6/5. I'm just gonna go ahead and say I've never given a 6, and that these are the best egg tarts I've had in my big chungus life, period. The pastry was so crisp, flaky, and buttery and the custard! Smoother than Michael Jackson's moonwalk and softer than Gen Z's feelings. It makes silk look and feel like sandpaper.

Stopped by the area last week on Tuesday. With very limited spots open after 10pm, this was the pick of the night. Was this the best choice ever or what! We were immediately greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. We ordered multiple things but honestly I was so focused on eating it all up I forgot to take pictures of everything else lol. Everything was sooo tasty! I managed to take a pic of the beef lo mein we ordered. Customer service was also amazing, very attentive and making sure we were doing fine the entire time. Can't wait to be back to this place!

Chicken in spicy garlic sauce

4 stars. The dumplings were incredibly fresh. I chose the Pork and Chive, they were absolutely delicious. Each order comes with three dumplings. Honestly, I could have kept eating more, but I wanted to save room for a main dish. By the way, they have so many dumpling options. Overall, their menu is impressively extensive with so many appealing choices. I decided on the chicken in garlic sauce, which was flavorful and spicy. The portions are quite generous, enough for leftovers.

Happy that I can get my dim sum and Chinese food fix without having to trek all the way to Chinatown for lunch. The prices are reasonable for the area but pricier than Chinatown. I tried the sweet and sour chicken over rice which is pretty standard. I bought the coconut jelly dessert and my grandma enjoyed it. Starting it's not too sweet. The mini pineapple buns with taro and salted egg was just alright. Not even enough flavor in the filling.

I must admit Dim Sum Palace is a bit pricier than dim sum in Chinatown. They got a lot of dim sum dishes though and the menu shows the pictures in case you are lost at the name of the dim sum. Most of the dishes were around $7 for 2, 3, or 4 pieces of dim sum. I liked how they have durian pastry that came in 3 for $7.95, which is what I got. The durian puffs were very crispy and flaky. There was little durian inside the puff. It was very fresh though. I like how it tasted. It left a stink in my mouth but it was a good kind of stink since it is known as tasty stinky fruit. I got sticky rice with pork & dried baby shrimp in lotus leaf that came in 2 and it was kind of tiny compared to another place I go to. It tasted good though and the sausage inside was a big piece that was very sweet and tasty. Since I wrote a review about this place, I got free sweet sesame ball with lotus seed that came in 3. They were very tasty and semisweet. The sesame seeds gave the balls a good flavor. Since the dim sum dishes were not enough food for lunch I got myself a lunch bowl, soy sauce chicken over rice at $13.25. Kind of pricey. The bowl it came in was reusable though and a good kind of plastic and spacious. The chicken was mostly the leg part and dark meat with some scallions and ginger on it. The boiled egg was alright but was too soft. Did not think it should be that pricey for this chicken bowl. Some part of the menu was hard to understand like the lunch specials. I was guessing on it too hard whether the lunch specials included rice or not. I did not ask though since I settled for the soy sauce chicken. So to this day I don't know if the lunch specials got rice or not. It just said the main dish lunch special includes hot and sour soup or egg drop soup, which is not what I like because of course I need rice with the dish or else it's not comforting. I saw that this Dim Sum Palace was broken in half, one half was the takeout part and the other half was fancy and a dine in place. It was very fancy.

Yesterday's lunch at Dim Sum Palace was disappointing. I had the roast duck over rice. The duck skin was crisp and delicious but there was hardly any meat on the pieces. This seemed a waste of money as I wasn't paying for rice and few greens. I told Khaite (Mark), the server, about my dish. I am not sure if I will have this dish again. I will go for the dim sum.

Fabulous spot! Nice decor & clean. Fresh seafood & fish tank w/ crabs etc. I had the crispy garlic ribs different but tasty, and the crispy garlic shrimp lightly floured. Ohhh, yea & the cilantro pork dumplings. Everything was really good, but I didn't care for the shrimp fried in shell. Nothing I ordered was greasy. After eating I felt fulfilled & not hungry. It was enjoyable, and I'm going back with friends. The price wasn't bad either, especially for that area. A plus, a very clean decorative restroom which says a lot about a restaurant. I recommend, this restaurant.

I ordered from here mid December in the middle of a dim sum super craving. It was freezing out so I ordered wonton soup, garlic chicken wings and shrimp shu mai. Went back to my office to indulge and discovered that they forgot the shu mai. I called up and they were like oops we forgot (so they had never charged me). The lady at the counter is pretty straightforward but not rude so I understood. & I mean no real loss I was just indulging in midday snacks one less one didn't make a difference. The soup was HUGE the wontons were super heathy and I am not supposed to be eating fried foods. You cannot park outside, they have a pick up/ take outside and a sit down to stay side. There were 3 other patrons and many people sitting inside. Prices are to be expected. I love their food.

Stopped by on a late Saturday morning for lunch and had a nice dim sum meal. Ordering was super easy as they give you a menu with photos and you can just write down what you want. We had a variety of dim sum items and enjoyed them all - Shrimp Dumplings, Beef Rice Noodle Roll, Shu Mai, Stuffed Mince Pork Ball, Bean Curd Skin Roll, Scallion Pancake and Pan Fried Turnip Cake. Very attentive and friendly service, nice decor.

I usually go the other location on Division st for consistently great food but since it was freezing and this location is a 5 minute walk from me, decided to come here. We ordered the Peking Duck dish and came with 10 pancakes. It was pretty decent. Only gripe was the salt and pepper deep fried silver fish dish did not come with a whole lot of whole fishies. If you've never had silver fish, you wont know what I am talking about. Most were heavily coated deep fried fish filets. Lobster was just alright as with the other dishes. Service is good.

Black truffle soup dumpling

I had lunch to commemorate National Noodle Day back in October. I was seated quickly. Overall ambiance was a blend of American and family style Chinese restaurant vibe. It was packed for lunch. I ordered the soup dumplings and noodle soup with roasted duck. The roast duck noodle soup hit the spot. The black truffle soup dumplings were OK, definitely not comparable as the ones I had in Elmhurst. I'd go back again for lunch but that has to be planned out and happy hour.

Shrimp Dumpling

My dad and I ate here for Sunday brunch and really enjoyed it. We were happy there was no line and we were able to get seated immediately. Inside there is a large bar with lots of alcohol offerings, fish tanks filled with crabs, eels and fish, and table and booth seating were available. We didn't have much interaction with our server, but that has been my experience at most dim sum places in the city. We ordered off the dim sum menu, using a pen to indicate our choices, and our food arrived quickly, steaming hot. My favorite were the Black Truffle Shrimp Dumplings, which were flavorful, chewy and delicious. I also enjoyed the beef tripe. the shredded roast duck dumplings and shrimp dumplings were pretty good, as well as these fried crispy rolls filled with shrimp and served with mayonnaise, but they fried rolls were on the greasier side. I wish they had more congee options on the menu as I'm not a huge fan of thousand year egg, and honestly, more options overall would have been great, but I think the menu changes, so it could be worth trying one of their other locations or coming back in a few months. What we ordered was plenty for two of us and that food brought us back to life! I think one of the best aspects of this spot is that it seems pretty authentic, despite being in FiDi, and is open very late, so one craving dim sum in the area doesn't need to trek to Chinatown for some tasty dim sum.

Complimentary tea is served for the table. I ordered the L2. Crispy Garlic Chicken, 102. Yin Yang Chow Mei Fun, 2. Har Gow and white rice on the side. The chicken was my absolute favorite! It was perfectly crispy and so tasty. The mei fun and har gow were wonderful. Service was spectacular and food arrived quickly. Overall, the chicken stole the show for me and I definitely will be returning to get another order of this.

I'm a big fan of Cantonese cuisine, so I was excited to try Uncle Lou's! I went on a weekend…read moreevening, and they were PACKED. There was a wait list, tons of reservations, and the whole place was hustling and bustling. The food smelled amazing, and the ambiance was lively and fun overall. We were excited to eat! We were walk-ins, so I appreciated that they were able to get us in. The hostess was running a very tight ship - very "no BS"/no nonsense ... and hey, I get it, it was crazy, but at times it erred a bit unnecessarily rude? It just left me feeling a bit off, but not the end of the world. Food-wise, we tried a lot of different things. The highlight was honestly the scallion pancakes. They were DELISH! Not too doughy, not too dry, and the vinegar dipping sauce was amazing (I know it's just the standard vinegar but dang it's so good). It was a classic really well executed. The steamed pork dumplings were also quite yummy. For our mains, we got the garlic baby bok choy, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. The beef chow fun looked amazing and we had heard really good things about it, but unfortunately it was a little dry and lacked flavor... just sort of bland? We ended up pouring some of the vinegar sauce over it, which helped, but I was a little disappointed because it looked so good. The baby bok choy was really loaded it up with garlic chunks and was also yummy and a good portion. It was juicy and had a great texture, but my only note was that it felt like it needed just a little more seasoning or salt? Overall, though, it was good. The kung pao chicken was INTENSE. I knew it'd be spicy, but truthfully it was my first time ever trying it and it was a tad difficult to eat without rice. The chicken thighs had a texture that felt a little gummy to me? I wished the chicken had been a bit more browned too. The peanuts and veggies rocked, but the sauce and chicken were huge misses for us. I typically would never send anything back, but my friend insisted as it was tough to enjoy. They did take our dish from the table... but then a manager brought it back and was a bit condescending towards us saying they didn't do that and everyone knows it's a spicy dish... which, I'm trying to be fair about because he didn't know it was my first time, but it just again felt unnecessarily rude. I hate wasting food, so we kept it and took it home rather than let it go to waste. I just thought the whole interaction was a little strange. Truly - I wasn't really looking to get something for free. We just didn't enjoy the dish and were trying to figure out what our options were and it basically felt like he just came over to make us feel small instead of problem solving together. Weird. I'm always one for second chances so I'm hoping to try it again, but I would highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a calmer experience.

We had to wait for about 10 minutes and got our table for two upstairs. My wife was craving the lobster sticky rice so that's what we came for. We added the rice roll casserole and the mushroom with pea shoot leaves. The food took a few minutes to get to us but was overall ok. Nothing mind blowing but it scratched the itch. The service, however, sucked. They gave us another table's congee which we informed them we didn't order. And after our food arrived, we never saw the waitstaff again, until our check. I couldn't even get a refill on my water. And when the manager gave me my check she pressured me to give them the tips in cash and not charge it. I said fine but truthfully I tipped them more than they deserved.
