| - My sister and brother-in-law came here for dim-sum a while back, and suggested this as our lunch venue yesterday. Having to wait for a table on a Saturday, while inconvenient, is a good sign. This place offers ordering dim-sum from the menu, which makes life a little quieter. If you're into the hustle-and-bustle of the usual push-cart dim-sum style, this will not be for you. In other words: know thy dim-sum, or else you're better off with the other system.
Lunch started off well: nicer decor and place-settings, and a pretty good quality tea. Variety is also pretty good considering that all the choices had to be printed there on one page. They had a few choices that are a little out of the ordinary, which is welcome. It's also arranged in a somewhat meaningful way by section. Quality ran from good to very good. No blow-by-blow, as I often hear the gripe that I'm too full of words.
Compared to other dim-sum places, Spring Villa is a touch more pricey. But wait till you see their DINNER menu. There's a 2-person 'Sweetheart' dinner choice that's $198! They also specialize in specialty Chinese soups: there are about a half dozen choices, all of which are $98 (enough for 10). Not going to get a chance to try either one this time!
