There’s maybe one other place in chicago I overall like more than this place but I will definitely be back for those sesame balls and fried crab legs! Also I was so surprised to see they are open for dinner, many Dim Sum places usually do breakfast and lunch only so it was kind of nice to go for dinner when there were less people and just because I was craving it at that time.

The sesame balls, wow! I think these might be the best sesame balls I’ve ever had.

Salt and pepper pork ribs were okay, had some pieces that were mostly just fat and hardly any meet. They were good but there was something lacking in it where it felt like not enough was put into the buns and the flavor lacked depth that I’ve gotten at other Dim Sum places.

I think for me one of my favorite dishes is the BBQ Pork Buns in all versions. The pickled cucumber was great, Asian broccoli was also wonderful as well as the pea shoots! Our favorite was definitely the fried crab claw, Sui Mei (Pork version), along with various other dumplings. Had traditional Jasmine tea which I love. The restaurant’s original dining room seated about 200 guests on the ground level of the building. Family owned and operated across generations, Furama served its first customers in Uptown in 1985. Service was very attentive and let us know when other food we were waiting on was going to come out soon. Serving Authentic Chinese Cuisine and Dim Sum Since 1985. Portions are a bit smaller than I’m used to though. This two-story Chinese restaurant is located in a strip mall on the border of Chinatown and Bridgeport, and is the sister restaurant of Furama in Uptown. I would have given this 4.5 stars if I could since I just think specific dishes are lacking that I had. JanuNew Furama is a solid option if you’re in need of dim sum at 3pm on a Wednesday (or anytime really, since it’s open seven days a week). While overall I don’t think this is the best Dim Sum place, there are definitely certain dishes they do very well and others I’ve had better elsewhere. The weekday dim sum lunch is ordered off a card rather than from the pushcarts.

It is the featured restaurant on a strip mall, and the parking can get scarce. I have eaten at a lot of Dim Sum places growing up and as an adult, mostly on the west coast and a few places in chicago.
