You make a reservation. You arrive early at the scheduled reservation time, you still don’t get the table. You still have to wait over 30 minutes because they let everyone linger even when they are done. Terrible organization skills

Newly renovated and fast service. Choices have changed on the menu so recommend taking a look before checking it out if you haven’t been in a while.

Called to inquire the crab special before heading there. Was misinformed. All the old each day of the week special are gone.

Great experience at renovated restaurant. Enjoyed lemon meat triangles and noodles. Street parking a block down. Came again with friends and enjoyed same dishes. Also shrimp tart and spring rolls. Beef short ribs a bit chewy. Back again and enjoyed lemon meat triangles and noodle dishes. Had vermicelli with bitter melon, beef and black bean sauce. Came and enjoyed everything including lemon triangle and noodles. Halibut did not have much meat though

The dim sum is good but our table is rocking. We have to ask 3 times for adding water.
Recently went back to Haiyi for dim sum after they renovated. The space feels cleaner and roomier compared to before. A good selection of dim sum items. Service is decent. We were seated quickly with a reservation. Only downside to the place is their limited parking.
The food was mid. A bit on the pricey side and the other tables was so loud you can’t even hear what other people was saying.
Price raised a lot for dinner menu after the renovation. Quite expensive in that area.

Recently renovated and looks like the staff is new. Good dim sum when I went with friends.
Newly renovated. Completely new set of staff with subpar service. No more discounts like before either.
Honestly the food isn't taste good and the service is really mediocre to impatient, very typical: welcoming to the frequent senior clients, cold to new faces, especially when you didn't order a lot. the recent renovation didnt make the restaurant better, on the contrary, it feels less cozy than before.

Coming back after their reno
Renovated interior.
Some things have changed…
Service - new staff? Terrible (Head person) & staff -they all look new (not the same good previous staff it seems) They like to keep their heads and eyes looking forward with blinders on. They really dont want to see you ‘asking/waving for service’ - typical - bottom line, it was subpar. Just asking for them to attentive like: provide us a dimsum menu to check off - do I need to ‘red flag’ you to get your attention for this and then to order??
Food was ok - portions are definitely smaller.
And SLOW. We ordered 6 dimsum items; each came out, one wt at a time, in 5-10 min intervals.
Conveyor belts are faster.
Taro was terrible. ‘60-70s Uk style of overcooking. humm.
Tea top up (hot water…) just as slow.
Did I mention yet, the ‘blinders-on’-type service?
Bill time. Pony up…
Yes, you have to waive to them for attention. However, this portion of the service WAS SUPER FASSST. PayMe is everything.
Will I come back?
I think not; until some other gineau pig proves/shows me improvement. There’s another goto hotspot down the street at 23rd.
Btw, dont sit by their front door (cold air)*
Patrons leave the 2nd new glass door open and the man-in-black, with his greeting post right there, doesnt do ‘door closing’ duties. Not in his job description plus blinders-on.
* fyi- watched from a distance as that table patron exercise ‘up n down’ to close that glass door while the ‘man-in-black’ yapped and stood around his post, trying to look busy. Was going to video post it…. Nah.
Too bad, miss the old settings
The new management and food is worse.
Terrible dim sum, bad taste!!!
