Friendly staff with reasonable price and average service. We were told the stir fried dishes don’t start until 10am once we placed our orders. Didn’t wait too long for our food. Tender crisp shrimp dumplings, mild steamed beef tripe, steamed bean curd roll, pork dumplings are perfectly cooked. Pork and peanut dumplings with a hint of spicy was on point. The chive and shrimping wraps broken off easily when pick up. The mild sweetness bbq pork crepes was ok.

We’ve been going to this restaurant for more than 5 years. There are some dishes they do very well. And there are some that just does not meet even the average standard for Authentic Chinese Cuisine.
Here is how I would rate the dishes I’ve had there…
Seafood Chow Fun – not a lot of seafood, lots of noodles but taste decent. Recommend the chef uses fresh rice roofless that are wider, char the noodles to give it a crisp before pouring all of that sauce in it. You can tell the noodles are overcooked and just stir fried in walk to char before the sauce is put on top of it. Add more seafood and don’t take one scallop and slice it horizontally in three. Your customers know. Taste overall is excellent.
Dim sum – this is decent until it comes to fried items. It’s fried in older oil and everything is fried in one pot which has added other flavors that doesn’t pair well. Recommends change oil out more frequently, and designate certain pots by what you’re frying.
Lobsters – oh boy, the management staff told us they got in huge and fresh lobster that came in, what came out was one of the smallest lobster we have ever been served, it was comical. Also, don’t just ask what the market price is, ask how many lbs is your lobster before ordering it. Presentation was nice but taste lack flavor, it’s not just a little salt but you couldn’t taste any aroma. Of the dishes we ordered that day, this was our favorite. I would not recommend this dish at all. It was extremely crazy priced for the smallest lobster we’ve ever been served in our entire lifetime. We were surprised they even ordered and had that small of a lobster on hand.
Salt & spicy calamari and fish – this was nothing like the authentic Chinese dish, it’s one of the easiest dishes to make yet their batter was not right and they fried it in very old oil, to the point we just left it.
Service – management staff is always friendly but there’s a few servers there that aren’t the nicest. They also tend to remove plates that you’re not with and because of their lack of English, they will toss your plates and food even when you’re not done with it. We still had lobster we hadn’t touched yet and seafood chow fun when they took it from our table to make room and just tossed the food without asking. They are also very difficult, and not flexible. We asked for a soup container to take one dim sum leftover that had sauce to it and they charged us $3. But they didn’t want to give it to us even tho they charged us, they kept trying to give us a box.
Atmosphere – what drew us to this place was atmosphere. The inside dining area is nice and appears clean. Getting there and lobby is extremely dirty though but I think that’s in the building owner.
We started cooking here because it seems clean and it’s easy to park rather than Chinatown.
Hope this helps!!

This restaurant has been around for years. It’s still quite well maintained with comfortable seating due to the overall size of the restaurant. There’s a lot of space between tables so no one is too cramped like many restaurants around the Chinatown area. Food such as dim sums are decent. The beef balls that we had didn’t taste good. Also, dishes sometimes can be a bit salty, but overall is fair. Like many restaurants in Chinatown, prices are not cheap. We spent $20+ each person for lunch.

Came here for a party, and I’m not surprised. The food was great, and service came very quickly. Restrooms are very clean, and tables can fit up to around 8 people.

Number 1 rule is undefeated!
The food is pretty good but there’s no place like home: The dim sum just doesn’t compare to what you can get in NYC – Chinatown, 8th, or Flushing. The naw mai gai kind of skimps on meat and is mostly rice. They don’t have daikon (turnip) cake, my favorite. Rice rolls are pretty damn good. Ribs are pretty damn good.
Prices are okay.
The service sucks here.

New Furama Restaurant is a great spot for authentic Chinese cuisine. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, and everything I tried was flavorful and well prepared. The portions are generous, and the staff are attentive and friendly, making the overall dining experience very enjoyable.

New Furama and Furama are my favorite go to places for dimsum. The selection is amazing, the quality great. I always leave feeling I made the best decision in dimsum. Prices are fairly reasonable too. It’s a 90 minute drive one way, and well worth it.

This restaurant offers a larger variety of Cantonese dim sum dishes than other smaller restaurants in the area offering dim sum. Good thing for someone trying dim sum for the first time, having more dishes to try.
The taste of dishes that we tried were all very good, with the exception of soup dumplings. The skin was a bit tough and not a lot of soup inside the soup dumpling.
The pork and shrimp shumai , lobster noodles , steamed rice flour rolls with shrimp (very velvety) were especially good.
The roasted duck buns were good but it is not true Peking duck quality as the skin is not that crispy.

Great customer service!! Best I’ve encountered in chicago. Overall food tasted clean (not greasy), not too salty, and came out warm/hot. Some we liked more than others. Highlights were the shrimp funn roll, turnip patties, cucumber, and shrimp balls.
Would definitely recommend!
