Very bland. Ordered for delivery and there was almost no telling difference between the two chicken dishes we ordered. The worst Chinese food I’ve had in years.

A good place to satisfy a Chinese food craving (dumplings, fried rice, Kung Pao, etc.) The wuxi spareribs were flavorful and tender. Nice service and good ambiance. Small gluten free menu available too.

I went here recently with my family for an early lunch 11:45 a.m. Since they open at 11:15 a.m. it was very empty and there was an odd smell of cleaning solution. I guess they just wiped things down and cleaned up but the smell was kind of unpleasant and strong for a restaurant. I would suggest maybe doing it the night before and not before guests will be arriving shortly after. Anyways we ordered shanghai fried noodles (very good and I recommend), soup dumplings (basic), kung pao chicken (not good and small portion), sauteed pea shoots (good serving and pretty good) and steamed rice (very small portion for $3). Overall the food is okay but below average for my standard of Chinese food (maybe it is a bit higher because I am used to Scarborough Chinese restaurants). Portions for veggie dish seem good but for everything else is a but small. Bill was $90 with tax for 4 adults and everyone was still a little hungry. I wouldn't come here again. Chinese food from a food court is probably better and cheaper and I only came here cause my family was looking a sit down. Service is polite and attentive and tries their best.

Lovely dinner and our server was so nice. I recommend the pad thai and the sweet & sour fish! The soup filled dumplings were also good. Best food I had in a while!

Came here with my kids, parents and sister/brother in law. Got a big variety of dishes. Steamed siu long bau was great. Noodles dishes were ok. Onion pancake was solid. Some veggie dumplings were good. The bau with pork belly was decent.

We were pleasantly surprised by this dim sum place! The interior was much larger and nicer than we expected from the outside—clean, modern, and inviting.

We started with the Xiao Long Bao (01 dim sum) and scallion pancake. Both were delicious—my whole family enjoyed them. The Xiao Long Bao was full of flavor, and you could really taste each ingredient. The scallion pancake came already sliced, which was super convenient, and it had the perfect crispiness.

The black bean chicken was another standout. The chicken was tender, and the peppers and onions were cooked just right—savory and slightly sweet. Highly recommend pairing it with white rice.

Later, we added the chicken and shrimp dim sum, which was delicately wrapped and had a light, balanced flavor.

What really made our visit exceptional was the service. Gavin, our server, was incredibly attentive and thoughtful, especially toward my little one who was a bit cranky from an early morning. He even offered him a cookie as encouragement to finish his last dim sum piece—such a kind and personal touch.

Overall, a quality experience with great food, at a reasonable price, and even better service.

I've visited this restaurant three times now, and each time has been a delightful experience. The service is consistently good, and the food is absolutely delicious. I highly recommend giving it a try! Plus, the owner is incredibly charming, which adds to the overall welcoming atmosphere.

We had some time before our concert at the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, so we decided to drop in for some food as the place looked inviting. This was our second time in this restaurant. We were happy that we were served by a very polite and pleasant server, Zora, unlike the grumpy person who served us the last time. Both the soup and Kung Pao chicken were delicious, and the quantity was ample enough to satisfy our late-afternoon hunger. Definitely coming back again.
