The thing with dim sum style restaurants is that (like the old expression goes) often you don't know what you got 'til it's gone. So, in this instance, its you wouldn't know how good this place is until you've been somewhere where it's really not as good and then regret not going back here.
Friends recommended this very clean and busy Chinese restaurant on Dundas just a block west of the AGO. I had heard that it was owned by the same company as Spring Rolls (the sign outside also uses the same font) but was told it isn't, which is a relief (street free would have been flushed right down the drain if it had been). The atmosphere is bright and comfortable . The clients are almost all Chinese which to me speaks to its authenticity. We ordered dumplings, beef ho fun, and actually...more dumplings! But the food was really good. Very tasty. The Ho Fun was excellent. The dumplings arrived with some vinaigrette to dip them in which did not disappoint. Service was quick.
I'd have liked to try more of the menu, but my dinner group wasn't very hungry (save for me), so it had to wait for another day. Servings are a bit smaller than Spadina joints, but are still enough to keep you full.
Worth the trip
