bella dichosoJune 18, 2014Omg I ate so much dimsum. It was all good except for the curry samosa? It had weird texture. But you have to try the desserts. Loved the vanilla bean ice cream, mango pudding and ginger almond cake!- Redeye ChicagoFebruary 5, 2015Opt for dim sum such as chicken and chive potstickers or go for a signature entree such as the Yum Cha fried rice, which blends barbecue pork, shrimp and egg.

Jessi LangsenApril 19, 2014Dim sum for 11 isn't a small venture but Yum Cha was INCREDIBLE. All dumplings, octopus, cauliflower...really everything. Our server made great recs and we ordered two of everything.
Matt 👀February 12, 2015Duck and turnip cake salad is superb. The oxtail potstickers were also good but man that salad is unbeatable.
Yimian WuJune 16, 2014Chicken chive potsticker, fried cauliflower and shrimp dumpling are all good. Pricy than Chinatown dim sum but very tasty dim sum and better environment.
Lucille FisherJune 8, 2015Today the soup dumplings did not have the "soup" & the Lechon had tough waxy, not crispy skin, as if it was zapped in the microwave 😔. The Hainan chicken however hit the spot.
Jack KluesAugust 17, 2014Cool place decor wise and while Chinese menu has few surprises, it is all exceptionally prepared and served. Will go again
Great service delicious food beautiful decor 2 minutes from our home- all excellent!
ISC ChicagoApril 8, 2015Much more expensive than Chinatown and not as flavorful as I had hoped. Love the decor.

"Great selection of everything you need. Try the cheese and dried apricots and cranberry boards for a picnic just across at Millennium Park or at the Lakefront Trail just a few steps away outside."
