It's crowded and always busy (which means fresh food is always coming out of the kitchen). My only issue is that they've decided to maximize floor space with tables and have ousted the carts. They still have the specials floating around with servers, but the bulk of the food is ordered via check-boxes and golf pencils on the Dim Sum menu. Also, the rice and noodle dish options are also cheap and delicious! I've never had a bad experience there. If you head to Chinatown you can also stock up on Bao from the bakery for the week; imagine, big Bao for lunch at under $1 a pop... Economically Delicious! -r 2 times? We’ll have to fix that.

Richard - Wow Bao is good in a pinch and I've been in a pinch for a long time! When I think about it, I ate the most bao at dim sum when I lived in NY. We went often. Since I moved to Chicago I have been to dim sum exactly 2 times and neither time was near as good as I was used to. Do you have any dim sum suggestions? We should go some time!

Liu Thu, 05 Mar 2009 19:08:07 +0000 http://www.rachelleb.com/?p=7621#comment-61290 The closest place to get a proper Char Siu Bao down town is at 65 Chinese Resturaunt near Madison & Wells (I choose not to acknowledge Wow Bow because they're overpriced and small). I like the Yagihashi noodle option at Macy's, but agree that they're a bit expensive. I really wish the Vietnamese place on Wabash didn't go under years ago, as they were the only place downtown (as far as I know) to get a bowl of Pho for lunch. Have you been to <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/dong-ky-chinese-and-vietnamese-restaurant-chicago?rpp=40&sort_by=rating_desc" rel="nofollow">Dong Ky</a> next to the Broadway market in uptown? You can get a fantastic bowl of noodles for under 5 dollars. -r The closest place to get a proper Char Siu Bao down town is at 65 Chinese Resturaunt near Madison & Wells (I choose not to acknowledge Wow Bow because they’re overpriced and small).
