Visited this place late evening, first time ever. Pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste of the food. Best shrimp and lobster sauce in a long time. I would come back for this dish.

I like the place. Food is good. But on Chinese New Year we reserved for 7:30. No seat until 8:10. What’s the point of reserving ??????

The owner is not a good person. The staff are neglected. The prices are a joke and best suited for corporate accounts. They have no soup dumplings and the pan fried dumplings are a failure.

This was my second time coming here for dimsum. Food was not the most authentic tasting I've had, but the preparation time was acceptable (within 10 minutes for the first dish). The congee was tasteless and needed salt or needed to cook longer with the century egg so it could get more of its flavour, which is disappointing. In contrast, the stir fried rice cakes were too salty, in which case it might have been better off mixing the two together (meant to be a joke, don't mix them together lol). The other dishes we ordered met expectations but nothing outstanding. I'm glad the chicken feet turned out well, however, since it is a staple dish when eating dimsum.The atmosphere was very nice, especially if you have a table next to the window so you can look down at passersby because the restaurant is on the second floor. Though the energy was lacking compared to other dimsum restaurants, it makes up for it by being a bit more peaceful. Of course, you no longer have the traditional experience of waving down the servers pushing the carts (probably ever since COVID happened), but it is arguably more organized.Service was a bit disappointing because I remember being impressed by my first visit a few months ago, but today, it felt like we were largely ignored. Slow to take our order, slow to take away dishes, and even slower to bring the bill even when the traffic was slowing down and there were fewer guests in the restaurant.Overall, I recommend eating here if you're getting together with people you don't often hang out with and want to impress them with your generosity to treat them to slightly overpriced, acceptable tasting dimsum.

My family and I used to go to their original location every Saturday morning as our go-to dim sum place. Now, years after they moved to this location, we wanted to come back for a taste of nostalgia for my Mom’s birthday, and they definitely delivered!The restaurant is nicely decorated; I missed the large tables with fancy table cloths and Lazy Susans. Their tea was still as refreshing as it was when I used to have it as a kid, and we ordered all of our usual dishes.Their sticky rice, Hargow, Siu Mai, garlic Bok Choy and Sesame Balls are timeless. They were all delicious and were exactly like I remember as a kid. They service was prompt and attentive, and brought over our dishes in a timely manner.I would recommend coming here with friends and family so you can share lots of dishes and plates together! As this is in the heart of Yorkville, the dishes are on the pricy side, but their dim sim still reigns supreme!Vegetarian options: They are some vegetarian options on their menu.Parking: There is a Green P parking garage right across from the restaurant, but it is small, compact and gets very full by 11 AM! It is also quite expensive, being $5 per hour.

This restaurant has very nice decor and ambience. At first, the food seemed promising like the Peking duck wrap and lettuce meat wrap. However, I can see why the reviews on here are only 3.8 stars. The dishes were quite small and for 8 people, I felt like there was only 1 serving per person which is barely enough. We had to ration the food.I came home not feeling full and had to eat snacks (which doesn’t usually happen at Chinese restaurants that I go to). But then again, I eat Chinese food mainly in Vancouver where the standard for Chinese food is incomparable to Toronto’s and the portions are much bigger. This restaurant is like a pretty person without trying as the decor was nice and there were many people there on Christmas Day, but the food in general was not memorable and the service was super slow and severely lacking. Paying $83 for an 8-course meal was not worth it. The biggest disappointment was the lobster. I cringed when I had my first bite as there was a distinct frozen taste. As someone who is used to eating fresh and live lobster from Vancouver, I can tell you the lobster was lacklustre, very small, had no lobster taste and was flavourless.I told the server (manager?) my feedback about the lobster and he said that many people ordered it. But just because many people order it doesn’t mean it’s good. I told him that he should take my feedback for next time.This restaurant seems to cater more to western people’s taste and isn’t the most authentic. I will not be coming back here. It’s overpriced for the lack of quality, taste and service.

The Dynasty experience is still one that I'm processing, but I'll put that aside for this:1. The Food was good, even though we ordered a full duck but barely had up to 70% of the Meat for the 1st & 2nd Courses (maybe because we were a lot of mouths ?). 4 Star because, well...felt like "something was missing."2. The Service was confusing. It wasn't anything bad, but we had Waiters who told us something wasn't available, while another said it was. We asked for Pepper in oil, to give some heat to the food, first person brought Sriracha (Sweet). The main Waiter was patient though.3. Atmosphere/Ambience being in Downtown probably made my expectations higher. Oh! Also, except we was blind, I didn't notice/see a Ramp to enable us use a Baby Stroller. Hmm, weird! Should be more accessible. But maybe it's somewhere.All these to say it was a good experience! ?Will I recommend? Well, you should definitely go at least once to make your own opinions. Mine's just, well, based on my experience....?...and it was a "good" one.PS - Was majorly distracted, so my picture-game was lacking on the night. Apologies! Haha!

This has to be the worst possible experience ever. The hostess behind the counter rudely declined our presence and screamed at us that the kitchem was closed. On the way out she said we could make an order and then 15 seconds later she screamed that it was closed again. She was unecessarily antagonistic and its xmas day.

I don’t often review places but can’t understand the 1 star reviews and felt it necessary to let people know this place makes high-end dim sum at pretty reasonable prices. It’s delicious, light dumplings and great service.
