The early morning dim sum is a draw at this Chinatown favorite. Phoenix Restaurant is one of our 2012 | Top 10 Chicago Chinese Restaurants |

The dining room is upstairs---accessed by elevator or the stairs---and it’s busy no matter what time of day. The dim sum is first-rate and, accordingly, the selection is vast. When a cart filled with flaky barbecue pork buns rolls by, order two. Following suit, the menu proper is filled with irresistible, well-executed dishes, too. The orange beef is a fave---likewise the stuffed scallops. This is a great place for families and an ideal locale for large groups. While we generally eschew desserts in Chinese restaurants, the mango pudding here is a closer that we never fail to order.
