It was my first time visiting Toronto, and my Uncle took us to his favorite dim sum place.
Gosh, the line was horrendous. We came around 10 am, and did not get seated til NOON ! 1.5 hour of waiting ! and i found out reservations can be made... aaiiyaaa Uncle ...
We had a party of 9, and had about 20 + orders of food. Despite the long wait, the food came out really quick. The har gow and siu mai reminded me of "Lunasia", a dim sum restaurant back in Los Angeles, big pieces with lots of shrimp. Overall the food was good, the service was like any other typical asian restaurant, fast paced semi friendly. Our bill came out to a little less than $200 (CAD) ?? A little pricier than your average cheap quick dim sum spot in Los Angeles but the food is more than an average dim sum spot.
Yes I would come back to this dim sum spot if im in the area. Just call beforehand for reservations...
*this restaurant used to be an estate/mansion back in the 1800s...pretty cool.
