Very mediocre Chinese restaurant in a very dingy and old plaza next to the tnt at warden and steeles... came in for the first time today for dim sum because the chinese newspaper advertised 2.89 a dish for dimsum ( S,M,L). The restaurant itself is located inside a chinese plaza that looks unrenovated since the 90s.. upon walking in, your hostess is basically half way into the restaurant. (very odd and big foyer space)
Majority of the dim sum is made to order (you get a slip and you mark what you want) but they also have some cart ladies coming around with certain fishes (tofu dessert, congee, noodles etc). The dim sum menu is extensive and majority of the items are S,M,L so one price. We wanted to try a variety... majority of the steam item that came out was not pipping hot! Was so unsatisfied that it was only luke warm. Shrimp dumpling (har gow) was good, but not the best in town.. Siu mai was super salty, the fried squid tentacle was super hard to chew! The potted rice was good for the price, standard but not the best. I think the only item we liked was the chun fun (rice rolls), the rice roll itself was very silky smooth which is tasty and the shrimp was big but that was really only the plus side to our dim sum order.
The bill was also a little hard to decipher as well because they don't separate the cost of tea per person from the dishes you ordered... cost per tea is also 1$ per person which is on the cheaper/standard side for any dim sum.
Lots of parking in the plaza, but will 99% not be returning as there are so many other great dim sum places in the area.
