I recently checked out 老街肠粉 Millstone Rice Rolls, and I was genuinely impressed by the incredible quality of the food and the unbeatable value. The restaurant itself has a very nice and bright atmosphere, making it a comfortable and welcoming spot to grab a quick, satisfying meal. I also really loved the traditional Hong Kong-style touch right at the beginning of the meal—they provided a cup of hot water for us to rinse our utensils. It is a small detail, but an authentic and highly appreciated one.

The food is where this place truly shines. The deep-fried dough stick rice roll is an absolute 10/10. The contrast between the soft rice noodle and the crispy dough is perfect, and the sauce they pour on top is simply amazing. We also ordered the shrimp with seasoned pork rice rolls, and they were phenomenal. The sweet and savoury soy sauce was perfectly balanced, the meat was incredibly flavourful, and the freshly made rice rolls literally melted in your mouth. We also tried the dried shrimp rice rolls, which were just as delicious and packed with umami.

To round out the meal, we ordered some congee, which was comforting and hit the spot. I also got a warm soy milk, and it was incredibly fresh—perfectly sweet, rich, and creamy without being overpowering.

In this economy, finding a fulfilling and affordable meal can be tough, but Millstone Rice Rolls completely delivers on value. For two people, our entire feast came to under $50, and that includes the tip! You really cannot beat those prices for the quality and freshness you are getting.

The service was decent, but to be completely honest, it was practically non-existent. You are mostly left to your own devices once the food arrives. However, for a casual, fast-paced eatery, this wasn't a dealbreaker for us at all.

Overall, the fantastic flavours and amazing prices make this place an absolute winner. I will definitely be back to try the other rice rolls and dishes they have on their menu!

“Great food & service.. & well located“

“This is a great place for dim sum, the decor is unique with a focus on birds. The food is fresh, delicious, and hot.

There’s a early bird special daily (except holidays) where all S, M, L dishes are $5.50.

I’ve come here twice so far and both times did not disappoint. Will definitely come again.“

“Really enjoyed our dim sum here! The dishes were fresh and well-made — juicy har gow, soft steamed buns, tender tripe, silky cheung fun, and a very nicely roasted pigeon. The fish noodle soup was light and soothing, perfect to round out the meal. A reliable spot for a satisfying dim sum feast. Will return!“

“Bao House absolutely exceeded expectations. The deep-fried tofu is some of the best I’ve ever had perfectly light, airy, and crispy on the outside while staying soft inside. It’s not greasy at all, just beautifully cooked and incredibly satisfying.
The pan-fried dumplings were equally impressive: crisp on the bottom, tender on top, and packed with flavour. Every bite was comforting and well-balanced. And the soup dumplings deserve special mention rich, juicy, and full of depth, with delicate wrappers that held together perfectly.
You can really tell care goes into both the food and execution here. Everything we tried was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and genuinely delicious. Bao House is the kind of place that makes you want to come back and order the same dishes again and then branch out to try more. Highly recommend.“

“Tak Fu even prices things the old-school way (by dish, no specials) with categories ranging from $5.99 (S) to $9.99 (SP). Tea’s a humble $1.50 a person, softening the blow of slightly higher food prices.

So, what’s so special about Tak Fu?

Start with the siu mai or steamed pork dumpling ($7.99). Most places pulverize the pork into springy meatballs. Not here. The pork is hand-chopped, juicy, and tender, breaking apart easily with each bite. Finely diced mushrooms add a hit of umami, while a plump shrimp crowns the top instead of being hidden inside - simple, balanced, and traditional.

Then there’s the har gow or De fu steamed shrimp dumpling ($8.99). The shrimp are properly cleaned and not over-tenderized, keeping their natural flavour and crunch. They’re cooked just right, encased in a slightly thick but satisfyingly elastic wrapper.

The steamed bean curd roll with satay sauce ($7.99) is dense and hearty… half a roll will do. Its filling leans pork-and-cabbage heavy, more like a spring roll in taste, so it’s not as exciting flavour-wise but still comforting.

For a contrast, the steamed rice noodle roll with fried dough in special style ($7.99). The hot, crunchy fritter wrapped in silky rice noodle is spot-on texturally, though the hoisin and sesame sauces could be thicker. Maybe they’re thinned out for easier pouring?

The steamed rice noodle roll with BBQ pork ($7.99) is stuffed to the gills with big chunks of meat and nothing else.

Pair any rice roll with the congee with preserved egg and pork ($8.99) and you’ve got a hearty solo meal. The pork’s properly seasoned, the preserved egg plentiful, and the texture rich and smooth.

For something lighter, go for the dried scallop & seafood dumpling in soup ($8.99). It takes time, but arrives piping hot with a massive dumpling stuffed with shrimp, octopus, scallop, mushrooms, and BBQ pork - generous and satisfying.

The deep-fried squid ($9.99) might just be the best I’ve had: crisp, tender, and barely battered. There’s also plenty of it to go around. Say what you will, Tak Fu doesn’t skimp on portions.

Even their fried rice noodle with beef ($13.99) impresses. Sliced beef, bean sprouts, and onions get a good kiss of wok hay, and those caramelized onion bits add a hit of flavour. A solid, classic version.

If you can wait half an hour, end with the steamed milk ($7.99) for dessert. Lightly sweet, perfumed with ginger, it’s a silky, nostalgic treat you won’t find in many places anymore.“

“It is the best curry fishballs I have ever had in Canada. It is very tasty. I love its spicy. It will be the go-to place for me to get curry fishballs and other Cantonese food and soup. I also bought blueberry Muffin and beans carrot pork bone soup. They all look very yummy. I recommend people who love Cantonese food to visit this shop. :D“

“I don't know how to respond to comments but thought to respond to Christie's comment that her siu mai was mostly sticky rice: girl, that's Shanghai style siu mai, not the pure pork ones you get from dim sum (Cantonese style)... This is the only place that I'm aware of in the GTA that you can get this style of siu mai. My family has been buying the sticky rice siu mai here since over than 10 years ago and I'm very grateful for the store's existence. Now, the price has gone up significantly over the years and whether it's worth it is a different story.“

“Went back today to try black sesame bao with salt “egg custard” filling (Delicious!); Fung Shing shrimp dumplings and Chicken siu mai. Great place for frozen dim sum!
********************
We’ve tried a few frozen dim sum places at Milliken & Finch. This store is clean, attractive with lots of frozen dim sum, frozen cooked food and desserts. We bought Jumbo shrimp har gow and Beef Brisket with tofu skin (cut brisket into smaller pieces - very good). Prices reasonable. Will return for more, thank you!“

“I've been ordering takeout recently from Bao Express and every order has been solid and has me coming back for more. I appreciate the Mrs. Digi online ordering system and this is now my go-to for chinese dumplings. The prices are reasonable. The egg chinese crepes are more on the dry side and the noodles are a bit on the too soft side for my personal liking, but the dumpling are definitely the star of the show.“

“We wanted good quality Zongzi 粽子(green bean, salted pork and salted egg yolk 鹹蛋黃with sticky rice wrapped in lotus or other leaf, and found it here, based on menu with old prices posted by others. This store sells frozen ones with choice of 1/4, 1/2 or whole salted egg yolk. Bought 2 whole salted egg yolk ones ($8 each), delicious. Good for a treat once in a while. We tried their frozen har gow as well (only one size available. Har gow was good but we prefer the Jumbo ones from other stores. The women who staff this store are very nice, thank you!“

“The frozen dim sum are good and suitable for families. Only problem is the staff there are consistently unfriendly and mean. I’ve been there several times and each time is the same, they talk with an attitude for no reason and make the interaction very uncomfortable.“

“I have been back twice and definitely plan to return! We went there specifically for their frozen dim sum. They come in huge packs yes so their Shrimp Dumpling will cost you 30 for 50 pieces which works out to be .60 each. Their quality is good. Their regular dumpling also good. This time we tried their japanese black sesame bun and i thought its really very good. Its not too sweet and super soft. And no this isnt some family promo. I think I like this japanese black sesame bun more than most dim sum restaurant dessert buns. My husband likes their lotus wrap dumpling. Plan to be back.“

“The Ding Tai Fung Restaurant is very famous in Dumplings if you like the Dumplings go to this restaurant and order the Dumplings and check the test, I like the Pork with Chives Dumpling, The Green Beans with Ground Pork was delicious and the Lamb with Vegetables and Cumin was perfect too, The Fried Pork Bun with Sesame on the top of the Bun was very yummy, The Staff and the service are very friendly and always served with big smile , The Decoration very nice with the high Ceiling make you feel very comfortable, I highly recommend.“

“Food was fantastic and the customer service was AMAZING! Soooo personable! Best all oh can eat in town. I would go here just for the service these guys are so friendly :)“

“I absolutely love their bok choy with shiitake steamed bun — soft, fragrant and full of flavour — and the diced pork with glutinous rice sticky rice dumpling is rich, satisfying and perfectly seasoned. Everything tastes fresh, portions are generous, and it’s become one of my favourite places for a quick bite.“

“Roasted Duck is uniquely great“

“Been getting steamed buns and dumplings from this place since over 15 years ago. True hole in the wall type spot. I hadn't gone back for 5+ years because I moved away but went back recently and got some of their ready to eat pork and veggie buns, still just as tasty as I remember.“

“Yummy food and great service“

“came here for chinese new year with 2 tables of 10 for my gf’s fam dinner and i have nothing but good things to say!

1. all vegetarian dishes were so high quality, yummy, and very filling, as everyone enjoyed every dish and we still had plenty of leftovers at the end 😋
2. the price was incredibly reasonable for the 11 set course meal ($350 pre tax). they’re very competitive, compared to other chinese vegetarian restaurants 😄
3. customer service was very attentive, fast, and friendly when they were so busy on chinese new year🧧🐴. kudos 👏“

“Sushi is fresh, my families love Sakura. My husband love the thick sushi piece, and my child love avocado roll and french fries.“

“This place is top notch!

The crunchy coockie crust bao filled with custards, chicken puff and deep fried crab meat bun are some of my favs but most of the stuff in this place is solid and very well priced.

You won't regret eating here!“

“Very good dim sum loved their deep fried taro dumpling , and the deep fried meat dumplings, loved their durian pastry , loved their deep fried squid , loved their curry squid , loved their sweet red bean bun , liked their turnip cake !!!!!!“

“Nice environment, good quality food and services. Reasonable price.“

“A very traditional dim sum experience. For the regular prices, the value is excellent, and the portion sizes of each dish are quite large. We came on a Sunday morning and didn’t have to wait at all, which was a nice surprise.

Nothing overly impressive, but definitely nothing disappointing either — a solid, reliable choice for classic dim sum.“

“The food and service were great. I like futuristic approach how the robot we’re serving the food.“

“I came here for dinner on a Saturday evening. We got the Peking duck (2nd course was lettuce wraps), hot and sour soup, shrimp balls, soup buns and a veg dish. The Peking duck was the highlight of the meal (and IMO, the highlight of the menu), with the rest of the dishes ranging from okay to decent.

Overall, while I wouldn't necessarily come here for a special occasion, the Peking duck is definitely worth a visit.“

“Delicious the food 🍱 great place“

“有没有 外面堂食一盅兩件“

“Good food and Good Services!!“

“My son was craving pork belly, and my Shanghai-born, Shanghai-raised nephew recommended this Shanghai-style restaurant. The food was delicious and truly authentic. The braised pork belly was rich and tender, the stir-fried pork liver was perfectly cooked, and the braised tofu with yellow croaker was silky and flavourful. The bamboo shoot soup cut through the richness nicely, and the Chinese okra with edamame was fresh and light. We also enjoyed the fried lotus root cakes and spring rolls. Of course, we had to try the salted pork with vegetable fried rice. It tasted like home.

The restaurant has classic old-Shanghai decor and the servers were polite and friendly. Highly recommended if you want real Shanghai cuisine.“

“Food was really good, everything came fresh. I would recommend getting the sweet and sour fish, it was perfectly crispy with a balance of sweet and sour. Our server was very kind, she even gave us dumplings on the house and offered to pack our food for us. Would come back again.“

“Not bad. I prefer Queens Quay Terminal and King Street ones better.“
