Sunday morning. Arrived at 10:30 craving dim sum. Minimum 45 min wait. Poor system of organization - in fact they were only calling numbers out in Chinese.
Was seated eventually and came to realize this place is huge. Service for probably 200 people.
Had a look at the menu and picked our faves. The menu is pretty clear cut - informing you of what you're going to eat - whether it be pork, beef, vegetable, shrimp or fish.
We order the vegetarian turnip pancake - described as a vegetarian dish. The dish ended up having pork in it. The waiter agreed to take it back and not charge us but did say that we should've asked if it had pork in it. I disagree with his comments because every other dish we were served reflected the description A so maybe they just need to update that. To be honest - I did try a piece being a pork eater myself and found it to be quite delicious.
Har Gow was spot on. In fact larger than usual. The noodles were steamed perfectly and the Abdin dance of shrimp packed inside that rice noodle was great. Surprisingly - they had ready on the table the mustard/siracha combination dip - which in many other places you have to beg for.
Sui Mai - was also great. Larger than usual portion with superior quality.
The steamed filet mignon was on of my favourites. Usually they have steamed ribs with black pepper sauce but this place uses good quality meat as a substitute.
Other dishes we enjoyed was a har gow style dish bit with an almond crust on the exterior and shrimp stuffed inside. Absolutely delicious.
For how busy it was, the service was great but like most dim sum places you have to take control.
All in all, I had a great experience but it was that one comment from the waiter that upset me. If every other dish explained what meat was in a dish then why didn't the one we order? Instead of being instructed to ask him what meat each dish contained - wouldn't it be simpler if they just included the word pork in the description of the turnip pancake so that everyone else could benefit?
I'd definitely return but that line up (when you're hungry) is just painful....
