The Phoenix, and leave soon to avoid the crowds. Make sure to snag some of the baby octopus in light curry, squid legs and the seafood rolls that are wrapped with nori and then deep fried. Don't forget to order the chicken feet, a must if you are going with kids. Kids love to be grossed out by chicken feet, then, when they realize that they taste good, they learn a valuable lesson.

Thanks for the info! I tried but the wait was really long, and the two year old can't wait. Ended up on Wentworth at a place called Wing Wah. It was just fine, not great...but served it's purpose. I want to try your suggestion. Is the Phoenix serving dim sum during the week?

Isn't that the old JUNK resataurant?

You also might want to try Three Happiness Restaurant on the corner of Cermak and Wentworth...thats a good place too....I've had several good meals there.

For a good hole-in-the-wall (actually, it's bigger than that), I'd recommend Hong Min, 221 W. Cermak.

Bleh.  Sorry. Like others mentioned, Phoenix is a better bet by far, though a trip to Toronto or to a west coast city (Seattle, SF, or Vancouver) would be best.  Probably would have been a little too impractical with kids, though.
