The worst service I ever experienced. They force me to pay 10%tips but actually I have a lunch like $51 and pay as $55 is almost 10%.I went there more than 10 times and sometimes I will pay more than 10% depending on how much cash I have. I will never go back again and actually there are a lot of good Tim sum restaurant nearby.

This restaurant is small, but for me this is the best dim sum I ever tried. The food was delicious, hot, and fresh. The staff is friendly and provided good service.

One of my go-to dim sum spots. We always start with a pot of jasmine green tea, and my must-order dishes are har gow, shrimp cheung fun, BBQ pork buns, steamed rice noodle roll with fried dough (special style), deep fried squid, and fried taro dumplings. The food is always hot, perfectly cooked, and consistent in quality. Friendly staff and quick service every time.

Trying out this overlooked, dated, old-school Dim Sum specialist that has been around since the 1980's!

Once again, I met up with my decades-long ex-chowhounder foodie friend - HKTraveller for another overdue mini-chowmeet. This time at an obscurely located Dim Sum place.

We decided on this venue because it has garnered Google review ratings that surprisingly, bested some of GTA's most popular Dim Sum spots like Skyview Fusion, The One Fusion, Yu_Seafood, Orient Bistro....to name a few.

The minuscule size of our party limited the quantity of our selection. Together we picked the following:

- Har Gow steamed prawn dumplings
- Fried Taro Croquettes
- Fried crueller wrapped in steamed rice crepe.
- Steamed Chicken feet in Chui-Hau sauce
- Char-Siu-Bao BBQ Pork Buns

Though nothing truly stands out, however, overall quality is quite acceptable by GTA standard.

Despite this lack-lustre rating, however, I will return! My decision?!.....the outcome of our friendly lady server delivering a gorgeous looking plate of ' Crispy Rice Vermicelli topped with Beef in Black bean sauce ' to our neighbouring table. The dark appealing colour of the sauce, the well caramelised beef slices, the perfectly executed green and red peppers plus their collective accompanying aroma resembled a page from some Hong Kong Dai-Pai-Dong wok-hay specialist.....a sight seldom encountered in the GTA these days!

The food is consistently delicious. Everything I've tried has been a hit. Baby / Toddler friendly but they only have a few booster / high chair offerings so prepare to bring your own if you're going during peak times.

Overall the dim sum were tasty.
The shrimp dumplings were delicious, just that the texture of the skin could be better.
Siu Mai was just average, but the steamed beef stripe was amazing!
Both the BBQ pork pastry and the steamed egg custard bun were extradinary. Deep fried taro dumplings is one of my favorite types of dim sum. I was surprised they served this rarely-seen dim sum here, but I only wished that it had more taro instead of the filling.
And the waitress was so nice. Great service!

Very low key and quiet spot, but the food is nice and fresh. There were a couple of items not available, though.

I've been eating Dim Sum my whole life and have had it in 4 different countries. This is my favourite Dim Sum

Nice homey dimsum place. Food was pretty good considering the price. The restaurant itself is a bit worn down.
