On the plus side we weren't charged for our tea, which is common practice in most other places. At Shui Wah these two items are considered "medium" dishes.

In LA, where my brother lives, the small dishes are normally priced under $2 and typically encompass all the most commonly ordered dishes including har gow and siu mai. The prices start at $2.40 for a "small" item, but most of the dishes we ordered were more expensive. Neither my brother or I liked the har gow-the shrimp didn't taste fresh to us.Ĭompared to the cost for dim sum in other cities we've been to the prices at Shui Wah were a little higher. I thought the rice crepes were a bit too chewy and the bao a little bland, though both were still ok overall. We enjoyed the siu mai, lo bok go, fried squid, and gai lan. We ended up ordering 6 items off the menu (har gow, siu mai, lo bok go, shrimp rice crepes, char siu bao, salt and pepper fried squid) plus a dish of gai lan (chinese broccoli) that a waitress was carrying around. While this wasn't a big deal to us as this was just a one time visit, I think if we were locals the lack of these items is a serious enough flaw that it we probably would not patronize Shui Wah very often. The first thing we noted was the very limited menu with a few glaring omissions: virtually no baked items (no egg custard tarts or baked char siu bao), and no fried sesame balls.

First they asked us what type of tea we desired (we got chrysanthemum) and then gave us a paper menu where we could tick off the items we wanted.

We arrived a little after 11am, and though the place was full we were seated within 5 minutes. We're both Chinese American and have a vast amount of experience eating dim sum in many different cities. Background: I've been to Chicago before on numerous occasions but it was my brother's first visit. I was in Chicago with my brother this past weekend and had dim sum at Shui Wah on Sunday.
