One of the genuine dim sum place in Chicago Chinatown Don't forget to order eggplant shrimp & Chive shrimp

This is a solid place for dim sum! Even on a weekday, this place is absolutely packed. Luckily, they are quite efficient and despite having a full house, we were seated quickly and the food came out fairly fast as well. Instead of the traditional rolling carts, they have a menu with pictures of all the dim sum and you can mark the ones that you want. We tried their spare ribs with black bean sauce, steamed pork, shrimp and clam dumpling, turnip cake, durian crepe, and the pan fried stuffed eggplant. My favorites were the pork/shrimp/clamp dumpling and the pan fried stuffed eggplant. Although the serving size is slightly smaller compared to other dim sum places that I've been to, the quality of the food more than enough makes up for it.

Come for happy hour, you'll get 20% off! My sister and I were visiting Chicago and craving dim sum and were so happy we went to Dolo. From the outside it's unassuming but the inside is so cute and trendy. We came on a Monday around 4pm so it was pretty empty and the service was quick. The rice rolls and bbq spare ribs were my favorite.

As 4 non-Chinese diners fond of dim sum, Dolo is one of the more accessible options. They don't bring out traditional dim sum carts but do offer a picture menu where you mark the items you'd like to order for the table and hand it to the server, thereby reducing language barriers and miscommunication frustrations. The portion sizes were good - usual 3 or 4 pieces but good sized pieces. As the only vegetarian, I was surprised they had options. I got the egg and pea tendrils crepe as well as the yam-and-mushroom lunch entree. We also tried the fried noodles. Oh, and the honeycomb cake. Our bill was $100 pre-tip and for 5 diners, I thought it was fairly well-priced! Another bonus - they have their own parking. And, they take reservations through Yelp!

Best dimsum in Chicago! Large selection and their siu mai & shrimp dumpling is yummy. Interior is also quite new. We ordered so much food and it only came to around $60 before tip. Could not recommend enough!

Food: got dimsum, everything ordered has good authentic flavor, standout dishes: custard bun, sticky rice, pork ribs, fried taro Service: expect a wait during peak hours, service is fine (it's an authentic Asian restaurant so don't expect the same culture ifykyk) Ambiance: not really there for the ambience but it's a nice place for a big group lunch

My lovely wife and I attended a fine dim sum brunch with family at Dolo Restaurant on Archer, located sort of on the edge of the busier areas of Chinatown. Dolo has its own small parking lot for customers, and a few choice parking spots along Archer too. My cousin made a Saturday reservation for our party of 9, and so we were rewarded with one of the primo private dining spaces in the back. We ordered such a variety of dishes, with something to satisfy everyone's palates. My love absolutely adored the shrimp dumplings, while the BBQ pork chow mein hit the right notes for me as my older relatives distinctly remembered that I loved chow mein ever since I was a wee lad. Instead of elbowing others for precious real estate in the main dining area (quite busy as you would expect on a Saturday), our family brunch at Dolo was all good times thanks to yummy food, colorful stories, and warm hugs.
