| - It had been a while since I've lived in the Scarborough/North York areas, but I'd say this is the best dim sum place I've found in these areas thus far.
We were introduced to this restaurant by a family friend who's quite the gourmet, so that already gives it some credibility. That dinner we had was one of those multi-course deals. It's been a while, but I remember every dish being very good, especially the giant lobster that we shared. Not only was its sheer size a sight to behold, but the taste was also excellent.
My family and I looked up this place again for dim sum and it also impressed us. The one flaw was that we ordered pork knuckles with ginger and vinegar (???) and they were sold out, but the waitress was sharp enough to come back immediately to tell us of the fact, so there was no idle waiting. The pork dumplings (??) were a bit on the hard side, but the pieces were huge. The shrimp dumplings (??) were big with fresh shrimp, the beef tendons (??) were flavourful, and the phoenix talons (??) were some of the best I've had in the Toronto area. And their morning discounts are substantial, bringing the price of non-special dishes down to around $3 each.
I will be returning to this place for the foreseeable future.
