  • A regular dim sum place for me and my family, conveniently located beside Costco and First Markham Place for some weekend shopping and errand running. The place is decently sized and after their renovations a few years ago the layout is open concept and traditional Chinese restaurant style. Bringing someone that knows the place well will help speed up getting a table - always a thing at Chinese restaurants. In fact - knowing a manager could get you 10% off and a reduction on your per-head base fee (a few dollars only, covers the tea). The wait for a table on the weekend can be lengthy especially for walk-ins. If you make a reservation be sure to arrive early otherwise run the risk of having to wait - your table is given away quickly for no-shows. Best advice: come early (11:30am for lunch is ideal) and don't bring too many friends (4-6 people). The selection of dim sum is pretty good here, a good mix of traditional items and some unique plates. Be wary that the dim sum are assigned a "size" which determines their price, and some can rack up to almost $10 a dish. A number of specials are offered by waiters coming by with a tray - typically these are on the expensive end of the spectrum but worth it for their rarity in the dim sum market (compared to other nearby dim sum locations), freshness, and portion size. Difficult to say what my favorites are, my usual tactic is to observe other tables to see what looks good and ask what it is. Quality of each dish is contingent on the ingredients (i.e. whatever is on the market) so be understanding when some items are sub-par. Food is typically quick to arrive, though flagging a server down may be a challenge. Be assertive but give patience. In the past I've been here for dinner and their dishes are pretty good. It can get expensive and they will promote more expensive items like seafood, so if you're looking for some casual Chinese food without the the frills of better service, consider places with "Congee" in the name...if you're looking for a slower paced, quiet dinner with seafood and the like, then this is a good choice. All this said - come here for some dim sum if that's what you're looking for. In terms of looking for good food that keeps you coming back...I'd venture elsewhere.
