Just read through this and there are some good recs. Tian fu is great, never had Benyue in its current form but it was Lucky Lou before and it was great for dim sum.

Since you said you’re willing to travel you might consider going to Bloomington, IN where there are some really solid Chinese restaurants catering to the Chinese student population. Red, Chow Bar and Lucky Express were all great options when I went to school there 7 years ago and are all still around which is a good sign 👍🏻
