The restaurant has a nice decor and friendly staff, with reasonably priced dishes. It leans more toward a Western-style Chinese dining experience. However, during winter, half of the dining room can get quite chilly due to a direct draft, and the bathroom tends to be very cold. Keep this in mind if you’re sensitive to low temperatures.

Overall really good, but pricy for the serving sizes and what you get.
I wouldn’t recommend ordering off of uber eats either, they forgot half my order so I had to get it refunded…

I'm so surprised this place is ranked below a solid 5 stars. What an amazing experience, delicious food and outstanding service/staff. Beautiful interiors - appears to be exceptionally managed.

Went to this restaurant after missing their other location at STC which closed a few years ago. It’s located in a mall near Yorkmills and Leslie and parking in the evening was easy. The interior is beautiful nice ambiance lighting - wooden fixtures. Nice tables. I booked for a party of 10 and the management accommodated. It wasn’t busy when I went which I wondered I could see a few take out orders being done. So a couple of things. Sunday their hours close at 8- I booked my reservations at 7 and asked the restaurant if they close at 8 should I move up my reservation- they said no they close at 9. Well sadly they still closed at 8 and we were rushed on our dinner… We ordered 2 set meals and some dim sum. With some confusion we only received the meal for 1 set order and the dim sum we ordered the 2nd set order didn’t come. When we asked they said the kitchen closed and they were sure we already got the food. I was worried I would have to argue about the missing meal but the manager was nice and credited it from the final bill. The food was not as good as I remember from STC. The dim sum sizes were small. The dishes were ok but lacked flavour. As we go to other authentic Chinese restaurants in Toronto I felt it wasn’t that great for the price. Probably caters to Canadian palettes. The staff was super friendly and responsive bringing out dishes water napkins etc. they never asked us about tea which was too bad. We were celebrating a birthday and they let us bring the cake and brought it out at the end with the lights off which was nice. Other than the mix up food and being rushed out it was nice.

Uber eats from here all the time as food is good. Last few times we have ordered they have forgot to send dishes. When we call to complain they say too bad we are too busy, complain to Uber. Real helpful. Terrible customer service. Food is good but service clearly terrible. Can’t comment on atmosphere as I’ve never been in restaurant.
great place, great service, great food, make sure to get chive shrimp dumplings

Y’all have to read this review and understand why I give Kwan restaurant 10 stars if it was possible. What makes an environment is the people who live in that environment, not the price or location or even its status in the society. Food brings people from all cultures and races together as 1 in a happy and memorable environment and that is the outstanding and remarkable thing Dim Sum Kwan brings about. The service is wonderful ✨, the servers are kind, and amicable but most importantly the owner of the restaurant Mr Cheung is a wonderful and special person filled with love, jokes ? and hospitality. A lot of places are good but those places those places don’t have people like Mr Cheung. He is so far the best, most humble, kind, loving and respectful person I’ve seen in Toronto. Spending time in this restaurant with my friends was not only a wonderful moment but memorable thanks to Mr Cheung ??❣️. We are definitely loyal customers to place as from now after the 1st experience we had. This is not a marketing strategy, go check it out for yourself and come give me your feedback. Thank you very much for reading so far?✨. Make sure you try their fried rice and chicken ?.

The food is small portions and terrible tasting. The chicken siu mai was sour, the honey garlic ribs had no honey on them, there were items in photographs on the menu that were not actually menu items. Overall, pretty disappointed, especially for the price...and how much I used to love Kwan at the Old midtown (yonge and st. Clair location). Hard pass on ever coming back again.
