Furama Restaurant

For some, Sundays are for church. For others, it’s dim sum time. Furama Restaurant offers one of the largest selections in town and proves the most consistent overall. People pack the giant banquet space to settle in for the barrage of carts that wheel by brimming with a dozen different dumplings (shrimp-peanut, chive and pork stand out); fluffy buns (barbecue pork and pan-fried veggie-pork are awesome); and various fried and steamed morsels of hangover-absorbing snacks.

Furama began serving its first clients in Uptown in 1985 and has been run by the same family for several generations. Around 200 people could fit in the restaurant's original dining area, which was on the bottom floor of the structure. After a few years, Furama changed along with the neighborhood's expanding population. To meet the demand for larger parties and events, the restaurant expanded by occupying the second floor, making it the largest Chinese eatery in Uptown. Furama started serving Chinese food and hosting private events including weddings, concerts, and get-togethers.
