not much - I am told that Phoenix is decent, and Ben Pao just started doing dim sum. Chicago does not have a great "Chinatown" when compared to many other cities. We do have great asian food, but not too much of it is Chinese.

re: lee
Yeah, Phoenix is probably the most well known and
have recieved a lot of good reviews.
My favorite is one tiny place on Wentworth in
Chinatown, China Garden - all though not a standard
dim sum place (they don't have the carts, Hong Kong
style like Phoenix does) but good none the less.
I like their char siu bao and also the shrimp dumplings. Good service as well. The place is jam packed on Sundays! There's a lot of bakeries nearby
where you can get things like curry beef buns and soy
bean drink for the ride home.
