Dim sum — the Chinese tradition of small plates served with tea — has been enthusiastically adopted by Vietnamese-American diners. The Chinese-Vietnamese community (người Hoa or Hoa people) has deep roots in Vietnamese cuisine, and many classic Vietnamese dishes have Chinese origins. In Chicago, the best dim sum for Vietnamese diners is found in two areas: the Argyle Street corridor in Uptown (close to the Vietnamese community) and Chicagos Chinatown. The Argyle area is particularly convenient for the Vietnamese community, with Furama being the anchor.
