Chef Tony offers an authentic dim sum experience, straight from Hong Kong. The menu features a variety of delectable options, including Soy Sauce Fried Noodles, BBQ Rice Rolls, Char Siu Bao, Custard Bun, and Xiaolongbaos. The service, while standard for a Chinese restaurant, requires proactive engagement from the customers to get the staff's attention.
Reviewers have praised the quality of the food, with the Shrimp and Pork Dumplings with Black Truffles, Scallop and Shrimp Dumplings with Fish Roe, Rice Noodle Roll with Shrimp, Chicken Congee, and Deep-Fried Chinese Donuts with Shrimp receiving particular acclaim. The dishes are noted for their freshness and lack of excessive saltiness or oiliness, allowing customers to enjoy more without feeling bloated.
While the dinner menu is also well-received, with highlights like the Fried Rice with Fish Roe and Truffle and the Sweet and Sour Pork, the dim sum offerings are generally considered the restaurant's stronger suit. The service during dim sum is adequate, though not exceptional, and the increased selection of dim sum items compared to the dinner menu is a significant advantage.
Overall, Chef Tony provides a high-quality dim sum experience, with fresh, well-executed dishes and a lively atmosphere. The restaurant is recommended for both dim sum and dinner, though dim sum seems to be the standout.
