Went to Chinatown this morning to feast on Dim Sum at my favourite place only to find it closed for holidays *sad face*. Opened up my trusty Yelp app and found U and Me close by with decent reviews. When we arrived the tables were about half filled so we were seated immediately and given the menu and order sheet along with our tea and our requested cold water.
Now I should mention that when I go for DS with this particular friend we order A LOT! We enjoy trying lots of different things and always bring enough for full family meals home (who doesn't appreciate not having to cook???). Our regular place knows this and starts off by bringing us containers and bags so we can pack some things as we go. This place looked at our sheet and came back to confirm that we knew how much we ordered. It makes me laugh because when I go with my Asian in-laws they also pack up lots to bring home but any new place I go checks that I know what I am doing.
Out of our large selection of items the standouts were:
- Pan friend shrimp in tofu wrappers
- Deep fried shrimp dumplings
- Doughnut rice rolls
- Pan fried sticky rice
Everything else was either ok or good with the exception of the deep fried pork and shrimp dumplings as we found them too fishy with the amount of dried shrimp.
I have read that this place is open late and has dim sum all the time which I like. A solid meal and I suspect at some point we will return.
