Beware of the waiters' trick to rob you! I invited my guest for lunch, and a waiter highly recommended a regular steamed fish, but charged me $150. He said it is a 2-pound fish, but it looks so small. The most annoying part is that he is purposely hiding the price of the fish, and worked hard to recommend me the most expensive dishes that have no price on the menu, or not on the menu at all. The fish was supposedly to be live, but then it tasted not fish at all. My guest only tasted one small bite. This is the second time I had unpleasant experience at this restaurant.

Canton Manor 新東湖 is one of those Chinatown dim sum houses that really reminds you why this tradition has lasted for centuries. Dim sum began in Guangdong teahouses along the Silk Road, where small snacks were paired with tea for travelers. Over time, it evolved into the weekend ritual we know today families gathering around steaming baskets, sharing bite-sized plates that show off both skill and comfort.
The har gow here set the tone: the wrappers were thin and translucent yet sturdy enough to hold plump, juicy shrimp. Biting into them gave that satisfying snap that only comes from fresh seafood. The siu mai, a benchmark of any dim sum restaurant, were equally well done meaty pork with shrimp folded in, juicy without being greasy, with a clean umami that lingers. The shrimp rice noodle rolls were silky and soft, the rice sheets gliding across the palate, wrapping shrimp that still had bounce. A drizzle of sweet soy tied everything together. This dish has its roots in Guangdong street food, but in the dim sum setting it becomes something elegant and comforting.
The savory small plates brought balance and heartiness. The steamed pork spare ribs were simple but flavorful, tender pieces that showcased the pork itself rather than hiding behind sauce. Braised chicken feet ,a true test of dim sum technique, were glossy and tender, the skin and tendons melting into a sticky, flavorful bite. 黑椒牛仔骨 stood out for their boldness the meat was tender yet still had chew, coated in a peppery sauce that carried both spice and fragrance. It’s a dish that reflects Hong Kong’s adaptation of Western seasonings, with black pepper becoming a Cantonese kitchen staple in the 20th century.
The Century egg and pork congee was one of the meal’s comforting highlights. The porridge had been simmered down until silky, almost creamy, with the earthy depth of preserved egg balanced by the light savoriness of lean pork. Cantonese congee has always been prized for its soothing qualities, often served to the young and elderly alike, and this version captured exactly that warmth. 牛杂 beef offal stew brought another layer of tradition: tripe, tendon, and brisket cooked slowly in a seasoned broth until tender. This dish traces back to Hong Kong’s dai pai dong food stalls, where nothing was wasted and every part of the animal was transformed into something flavorful. Here, it carried spice, richness, and texture in every bite.
For sweets, the Pineapple bun was nostalgic fluffy bread topped with a golden, crackly crust that gave way to soft, warm dough inside. Despite the name, there’s no pineapple; the crisscross crust just resembles the fruit’s pattern. This iconic Hong Kong bakery item became popular in the 20th century and remains a staple for a reason. The 椰汁糕 was the perfect closer refreshing and delicate, with the fragrance of coconut milk and just enough sweetness to cleanse the palate.
What makes Canton Manor special isn’t just the range of dishes, but the consistency: nothing felt greasy, rushed, or carelessly put together. Each plate highlighted its own textures and flavors while still fitting into the bigger rhythm of a dim sum meal tea, conversation, sharing, and balance. In a neighborhood filled with options, Canton Manor manages to stand out by honouring both the history of dim sum and the taste expectations of today’s diners.

We had a group dinner here and the bill came to $320. We paid in cash, knowing that’s their preference, and left a 15% cash tip, about $48, which we understand is standard since they don’t report cash tips. The server counted the tip at the table and immediately said it wasn’t enough. Honestly, that felt rude and shocking. Rushing us to leave the table after the meal only made it worse. We won’t be coming back.

I left a 15% cash tip today and was told by my server that it “wasn’t enough” and I was forced to pay 18%. This was after poor service to begin with. Tips are not mandatory, and it’s unacceptable for staff to pressure customers for more. I won’t return to a place that treats guests this way.
