“An institution! It feels like the entire town gathers at Dolo for dimsum and to watch sports games. There’s a mix of locals, students, tourists at Dolo and it’s the more authentic tasting dimsum in the area. Everything felt above average. Finish the meal off with the portuguese egg tarts, they’re flaky and melt in your mouth.”
“Great dim sum spot, pretty reasonably priced given the area. A bit more reserved + tighter seating (and especially parking) compared to other places around Chinatown.”
“Wonderful dim sum experience highly recommended! Quite busy as soon as the door is opened so you know that’s good here!”
“超级推荐！有停车场，但饭点不一定有位置。下午2-4点有20％折扣，环境大气舒适，有沙发，也有座椅，还有包间，不管是跟朋友一块吃，家庭聚会还是一个人吃都是非常好的选择。没有踩雷。都很棒！这么多年一直都喜欢这里。汤，羹全部都好吃，完全不用担心不好吃，很棒味道。鹌鹑，红酒羊排也超级好吃。也是早茶好去处。”
“Dolo is such an authentic Chinese spot! I love their Shanghai soup dumplings, and the fish with veggies #121 was amazing. The menu is huge, so it’s hard to pick, but everything I’ve tried has been super tasty and great quality. Service is friendly, food comes out fast, and there’s free parking.”
“It was my first time trying dim sum. The food was really good, just wish there were more beef options. Definitely pace yourself as we ordered more food and it was a lot. I would for sure come back!”
“Came here a few weeks ago. Food was okay. They forgot our order of shumai, so we had to remind them. Also the hot water kettle was broken, so we didn’t get any hot tea. In my opinion, there are better places for dim sum in Chicago.”
