| - We went here for brunch on a Wednesday and had a great experience. The restaurant wasn't that busy since it was a weekday, so we didn't have trouble getting a seat, nor did we ever feel rushed - though this might not be the case if you come on the weekend. The restaurant ambiance and decor aren't that fancy, but it's charming in a home-y kind of way.
The food was very good - better than most dim sum I've had before. They don't have the traditional carts, which is a bit of a bummer - I enjoy seeing the food wheel by and picking what I want. But the upside is this means the food is all made fresh to order - no worrying about food sitting out for too long. Just make sure you have some dim sum experience and know what to order, though, since you won't be able to see the food and just pick what looks good. Dumplings are always a safe choice (except the soup dumpling - that was strange). For the adventurous, they have good squid, cuttlefish, and chicken feet. They have a special hot sauce that you can get if you ask - I didn't particularly like it, but you're welcome to give it a try.
Overall this was a really good restaurant. I haven't been to other dim sum restaurants in Toronto, so I'm not sure how this one stacks up. But if you're looking for good eats, you've found a great place.
