🥢 Traditional Dim Sum at Phoenix Restaurant! 🏮✨

Phoenix is a long-established, beloved dim sum spot that I’ve visited many times over the years. The dim sum here is made with high-quality ingredients, prepared fresh, and served piping hot 🥟🔥. The variety is impressive — from classic har gow and siu mai to more creative offerings — all delivered with top-notch service in a spacious dining area overlooking the Chicago skyline 🌆. That said, I have to admit I was pretty disappointed that they’ve moved away from the traditional dim sum cart system 🫷📉. Instead, you now order from a detailed, picture-filled menu — which is helpful, but it just doesn’t have the same charm as picking steaming baskets right from the cart. A few carts do still roam the dining room, but they usually carry just one or two specific items. Still — the quality and flavor remain consistently excellent 👌💯. Every bite is hot, fresh, and full of authentic taste. And of course, everything pairs perfectly with the classic dim sum sauces: hoisin, soy, plum, and chili garlic oil 🧂🌶️. Pricing and service are on par with other dim sum restaurants, but Phoenix continues to stand out as one of Chinatown’s very best! 🥇 💡 Pro Tip: Order all your dim sum in one go! They use a single paper order sheet, and if you try to add more later (second or third rounds), it can get a bit confusing for the staff. Better to plan ahead and enjoy without the hassle! 📝✅ Whether you're a dim sum newbie or a longtime fan, Phoenix delivers a delicious — if slightly modernized — experience worth returning to. #PhoenixDimSum #ChicagoChinatown #TraditionalEats #DimSumLovers #SkylineViews
