    Stir fried soy sauce chow mein
    Suhani A.

    The restaurant has a lot of seating and the menu is quite large. I got the stir fried soy sauce chow mein with tofu and enjoyed it. It was on the spicier end which I liked. I also appreciated the waiter being very attentive about dietary restrictions as I am vegetarian. There aren't a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, but the chow mein is definitely a comfort meal and a classic you can't go wrong with!

    This one of the old restaurants in the Chinatown for long time and famous among the visitors. Almost every night has a wait line due to its popularity. Instead of dinner, we visited at lunch time close to the opening in weekday that has not much of wait. This restaurant earn local 4 stars record. We got the Enoki Mushroom with dried scallops and Japanese egg tofu. This is a must have dish. It was delicious. We also got the beef pan fried noodles. This dish just ok. The last dish is a brown sugar honeycomb cake. This is decent cake. Overall service is good. Food is quality.

    It was a very busy Saturday afternoon in Chinatown. We actually had to park outside of Chinatown and take a 9 minute ride Uber in. Triple Crown had a good ratings and we wanted to enjoy some dim sum. The food was decent but very Americanized. The service was quick and the staff was helpful. Bathrooms are clean which is a plus.

    In the heart of Chinatown, a true authentic Chinese cuisine establishment. Service was prompt and fast. I do enjoy the environment, and the food was delicious. Thank you!

    One of my favorite dim sum restaurants in Chicago - we went on a Friday for brunch and got seated immediately, but the place might be busier on weekends. The prices were super fair for the portions; we paid around $22 each for a full meal, family-style. The siu mai and the fried turnip cake (XO sauce) were the crowd favorites. Service was attentive and friendly, so would definitely recommend to people visiting Chinatown.

    The food was good! The restaurant did not seem the most cleanly, but I wasn't too pressed about it. The BIGGEST let down was the calamari.... Look at the picture provided below. Everything else was not too bad, while the BBQ pork rolls were exceptional and a must get. Not a bad restaurant if you're looking for something quick and convenient.

    Dim sum is guaranteed to be a winner be it takeout or dine in! Triple Crown ALWAYS delivers (literally) in taste, quality, freshness!

    Piggy custard buns!

    Delicious dim sum. I also had chicken with a variety of mushrooms. We shared piggy buns and had pot Stickers, pork buns, shrimp and chive dumplings, and sticky rice. Delicious and served quickly. Loved everything, including the leftovers.

    Dim Sum

    We came here for lunch on a busy Sunday afternoon. They had quoted us 40 minutes which we were fine with, but then called our name within 10 minutes. Service was ok. It was fast and efficient but nothing special. You can get Dim Sum here at a great price. It's very affordable compared to other Dim Simulator places, but the food was mediocre at best. Id honestly rather pay more for better tasting any day of the week. We ordered their BBQ Pork Fried Rice, pot stickers, BBQ Pork Buns, and bbq pork crepes. The fried rice lacked flavor and the pot stickers were similar to the Golden Bull down the street. Not that great. They were huge but very doughy and no flavor. Overall, the entire table agreed it wasn't the best tasting food. Definitely won't be returning.

    Steamed 飛魚子燒賣 Siu Mai (Pork & Shrimp Dumpling), steamed BBQ pork
    Cathline H.

    Every time I make it to Chicago, I have to stop here. Steamed pork buns, shu mai--shrimp and pork, and the sweet and sour chicken are always on point. If you're here for lunch, the lunch prices are reasonable along with family style portions. Service was quick and prompt. Always had a refill of water without asking. And the restaurant was packed! The service kept up with the amount of people at the restaurant.

    The Triple Crown Restaurant in Chinatown is absolutely worth the trip! There was a wait (they don't take reservations), but it moved quickly and wasn't long at all. The restaurant was packed -- every seat full -- which is always a good sign. We were seated by the window, which made for a great dining spot. The restaurant was lively with large and small groups of people. The wait staff was attentive and efficient, quickly clearing tables and responding to any requests. The food was excellent. We ordered noodles, rice, hot sour soup and dumplings. One thing to note: portions are served family-style and are large enough to share. We originally thought we were each ordering individual plates, but everything came out perfect for the table. No complaints though -- we all left with leftovers, and honestly, it tasted just as good the next day warmed up! I ordered an Old Fashioned, and it was perfectly made. The appetizers were a bit on the smaller side but very flavorful -- you may want to order more than one for the table. The only downside had nothing to do with the restaurant itself -- parking in Chinatown can be a challenge. However, if you dine at a participating restaurant, you can get your parking validated for $3, which definitely helps. Overall, it was a great experience, and we would definitely return.

    On our last day in Chicago, my wife and I were invited out to Triple Crown in Chinatown for dim sum. The location itself was a vibe -- especially with all the Chinese New Year decorations throughout the area. It was really cool seeing Chinatown dressed up like that. As far as the food, a majority of the dim sum options leaned heavily toward pork. Since that's not really my go-to, I ordered the chicken fried rice, a pu pu platter, and chicken skewers. The food itself wasn't bad at all -- solid flavor and generous portions. I had enough to take some home for dinner, which is always a plus. One thing that threw me off was the timing. The dishes came out randomly instead of in order. Your main course might hit the table before your appetizers. My chicken skewers didn't come out until we were basically wrapping up lunch, which kind of defeated the purpose. We had a party of seven, and the wait was nearly an hour and a half. Pro tip: definitely make a reservation online before going. Service-wise, the staff seemed a bit all over the place. They weren't very attentive, and anytime we needed something, we had to flag down a random waitress. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. The food was good, the portions were solid, and the Chinatown atmosphere was dope -- just be prepared for a wait and a little bit of chaos with service.

    Located on the second floor by the main entrance of Chinatown, this restaurant (probably with a lot history) specializes in Cantonese dishes and dim sum. We ordered a bunch from there dim sum menu which were largely pretty good. The stir fried dishes that come with your choice of rice or noodles were a hit or miss. The beef shank noodles were flavorful, however the beef was too hard to chew. We also ordered chicken skewers and seafood trio from their regular menu. The skewers were not edible (too hard). The interior was outdated and don't recommend for formal occasions.

    Is there anything gluten free?

    2022 status question: Is dim sum served from carts, or from a menu? Wondering if things have changed since covid.

    Actually it IS accessible. I asked because my mother had both hips replaced and has CHF. You must call them FIRST so they can let you in through their service elevator. Not the fancy way, but it's accessible!

    Does this restaurant bring dim sum on carts or do you order from the menu? Are there any dim sum places that serve on the carts in Chicago?

Be prepared to wait a little bit for a table, or share a big one with another party at peak times. Prices are reasonable and portions are pretty generous. ===== Kind of lost count of how many times I've been. Love getting the dim sum and noodle dishes here. Some favorites: beef cheong fun with egg, siu mai, Singapore noodle, xo rice noodle rolls, spare ribs, pork and century egg congee. All the food has been very solid. Inside is always bustling and can be a bit crowded. Service is pretty friendly as far as Chinatown goes, and very efficient. There's a guy who works there who I think is the manager or something, because he puts in 200x effort and is always hustling. When he's not around it feels like something is missing. Prices are very reasonable and we like ordering a lot here so that we have tasty leftovers for later. This place has quite a few big tables and is good for large groups. My only nits are that very occasionally a dish or teacup will have a dirty spot, and that the bubble tea here is kind of meh. I don't remember exactly which one I ordered, but it was a little watery and lacking in flavor. It's also probably tough since they're boxed in by boba places now. Pro tip: When you first get your table, they'll ask you what kind of tea you want. If you ignore them or don't know how to answer, the default is green tea. Another one is to come at off-peak times. Not only will you get a table faster, but I think they tweak their portion sizes depending on how crowded it is. Definitely will be back! And I recommend you visit too

Everything tasted solid, though admittedly, I was a bit too focused on the conversation with my table to really pay close attention to the food Only thing I wasn't a fan of was I felt like they essentially pushed tea on our table and charged us for it. A few other people at my table ended up desiring tea anyway, so they drank some, and as a result we were charged for it, which I'm fine with that because we consumed the product, but they charged per cup - so they assumed that the entire party drank tea, but in reality only part of the table drank tea. And even then, before I knew anyone at my table wanted tea, I told the waiters that we're good with just water, so they took away the tea cups. But then sometime later someone placed a tea pot on our table anyway... I had a feeling they were going to pull this move because I've seen it happen at other places, but I didn't want to make a big deal out of it in front of the rest of my party. I just thought to vocalize it because I don't think it's great practice. They offer a QR code to scan for discounted parking that applies to the parking lots.

By the time we finished our meal, the dining room was completely full and there was even a line forming outside, which is always a great sign. Unlike some traditional dim sum restaurants, they don't use carts here. Instead, you order from a paper menu, which I actually prefer because it's easier to browse all the options and make sure you don't miss anything. Everything we ordered was freshly made, looked beautiful, and tasted delicious. We even had to stop and take photos before digging in! The staff was attentive throughout our meal, and the food came out quickly despite how busy the restaurant became. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely come back the next time we're in Chinatown.

It had been 6 years since our last visit, just as the pandemic began. Before the pandemic, our extended family gathered here every Sunday for dim sum after my mother and sister attended church in Chinatown. We also celebrated many birthdays and Mother's Day with traditional Cantonese banquet dinners. My fondest memories were my milestone birthday and my husband's birthday, when we pre-ordered a live king crab prepared three ways, plus other banquet style dishes, for each celebration. The crab legs were perfectly deep-fried, the body was delicately steamed, and the remaining meat was stir-fried with e-fu noodles. The presentation was beautiful, and every dish showcased the freshness of the crab. (Please see my posted photos.) Around the time of the ownership change before the pandemic, the friendly and accommodating manager, Elaine, left the restaurant. I was delighted when my sister told me she had recently returned. On a recent Friday, my husband, our daughter and I brought an American friend to Imperial for dim sum. Elaine immediately recognized us and gave us a warm welcome. The restaurant was bright, clean, and beautifully decorated with elegant chandeliers, just as we remembered. We chose a table for 4 near the window, and the service was friendly and efficient throughout our meal. The 4 of us shared 12 dim sum dishes. We knew we had ordered more than we could finish, but everything looked too tempting to pass up. Our favorites included the Imperial Jumbo Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gow), which were filled with plump, fresh, and flavorful shrimp, and the Pan-Fried Turnip Cake, perfectly seared with a crisp exterior (some of the Hong Kong Cantonese restaurants don't even offer this dish, which requires more preparations).  Other highlights included Chicken Sticky Rice in Lotus Leaf, Beef and Enoki Rice Crepes, Crispy Shrimp Rolls, Siu Mai, and Sweet Custard Rolls. Every dish was freshly prepared and delicious. Although our friend is very familiar with Asian cuisine, this was her first visit to Imperial. She was genuinely impressed by the quality and authenticity of the dim sum and said she already planned to return with her family. Most of the dim sum we ordered was in the $6.50 (medium) to $6.75 (large) range.  Elaine generously comped our tea and gave us a 10% loyalty discount on our overall bill. Our final bill came up to $78.29 before tip, and $93.68 after.  We were happy to treat our guest and also encouraged her to take home all the leftovers, that made her really happy. As a bonus, the restaurant offers discounted parking at the nearby Chinatown Parking Lot. By scanning the restaurant's QR code with the parking app, my husband reduced the parking fee from $14.99 to just $3 for nearly three hours. It was such a happy, relaxed, and delicious lunch from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm.  (Dim sum and the lunch menu are available until 3:30 p.m.)  After such a long hiatus, it was wonderful to return and find that Imperial continues to deliver the excellent food, warm hospitality, and welcoming ambiance that made Cai our family's favorite Cantonese restaurant. We are thrilled to be back.
