Furama Restaurant — chinese in Uptown. Feels like it's been there since before the neighborhood changed. Flavors that haven't been adjusted for mass appeal. Handles groups well.

“First push cart dimsum experience I’ve had in Chicago.”
First push cart dimsum experience I’ve had in Chicago! I feel like some of the dishes were quite good (the chive and pork bing, chicken feet) but some of them were a bit weaker (Xiao long bao was a bit weaker). Nonetheless, I feel like it was a solid dim sum experience, though you do have to be a bit firmer about turning down the food. Also tea to supplement was nice though not free. Come for some solid dimsum uptown!

“One of the best dim sum restaurants in Chicago.”
One of the best dim sum restaurants in Chicago. They push around carts for you to choose from on the weekends. Seriously, this place is phenomenal and they have so many options! There is a location in chinatown too but I haven't had the chance to go yet. You can't go wrong here.

“We hosted a special event in the space for a company event, and had an amazing experience.”
We hosted a special event in the space for a company event, and had an amazing experience. Our guests loved the food, and the staff was absolutely wonderful to work with. The space was just the right size for our event (about 150 people), but could have fit a bit more comfortably, up to 200 I think. The stage worked really well for our program - everyone could see and hear comfortably, not a bad seat in the room. We absolutely would work with Furama again!

This dim sum restaurant also served peking duck, comes with toppings, bao, fried rice, and soup like Sun Wah. Only thing is that it’s not carved tableside, but it’s still delicious and a great price. They also have oatmilk for their bubble tea (lactose free option)

Had the pleasure of attending the monthly lunch dim sum with Asians and Friends Chicago at Furama Restaurant, and it's an experience I eagerly look forward to every first Sunday of the month. The variety and quality of dim sum here are simply outstanding, perfectly capturing the essence of traditional Chinese cuisine. The ambiance of Furama adds to the authenticity, making each visit memorable. It's more than just a meal; it's a wonderful gathering that fosters community and friendship. Highly recommend Furama for anyone looking to indulge in some of the best dim sum in the city!

The food was absolutely delicious, I didn’t taste a single thing I didn’t like (and honestly, had the best tofu I’ve ever had in my entire life). The restaurant itself was really nice and it helps the all the staff is so helpful. I totally recommend this spot.

Went on a Sunday morning, and the Furama servers were busy handing out dim sum left and right. It happened very quickly, we had a table full of small plates in a matter of 5 minutes. Good value and fun to experience.

Over all 8/10 💫 I had lunch, a quite pleasant experience. Soup was served first then various dim sum, food was hot and tasty 😋 I cleaned everything instead of taking them home, I was stuffed!!! Will return to try their main dishes! Happy dinning! 🙏😀

“AMAZING salt and pepper tofu.”
AMAZING salt and pepper tofu. The saltiness isn't overwhelming like some other restaurants, the inside is so soft with a crispy exterior, and the jalapeños add so much yummy flavor. I personally like to order a side of white rice and mix it all together. Its so filling and delicious. Highly recommend!
