| - I suppose you can't expect much from an "all day dim sum" place, especially one tucked away in the Yonge-Finch area. But this place looked cute and small, and the appeal of dim sum for dinner was nice!
This was the 2nd time coming here, but both experiences were pretty similar. We were the only people there except for another group, and there was only one female server (who much preferred to text on her phone most of the time).
Anyway, the selection at least, is wide and like your typical dim sum menu. We ordered:
1) Seafood congee
- Eugh. This was so bland. It was not seafood-y at all, but just regular congee with 4-5 pieces of frozen bagged seafood dumped in. Everything was so rubbery and unflavoured.
2) Steamed shrimp and vegetable dumplings
- This was the one tasty dish we ordered. But, I really dislike the rice-based wrapper and much prefer the wheat-based kind. It would be hard to really mess this up, anyway.
3) Deep-fried shrimp dumplings
- Wow, this was pretty gross. It came out overcooked, way too crunchy, and with scary-looking oil pockets on top that gave me the chills to look at.
4) Steamed tripe
- Boring, bland, rubbery, etc.
Even if I have a dim sum craving at night again, would NOT come back here for it.
