| - I have been here twice. The first time, I learned not to come here for dinner. The second time, I went during lunch for dim sum. And that turned things around.
It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty damn good dim sum for the price ($10-15/full, happy person), and fresher tasting than what I remember of dinner. Sui mai and har gow were decent, as was beef short rib, especially in consideration of the rol-san-like prices (and the quality here is better, with more filling and less rice-wrapper). I do remember that the calamari stood out to me though... I love seafood but don't especially like it deep-fried, and I liked that their calamari was still reminiscent of squid. The friends I came with also enjoyed the food.
Side note: it's underground, so pretty hard to find (probably why it's usually fairly empty). Look for a green sign that goes underground near a Subway on dundas near university.
Also, they charge per pot of tea.
If I am craving cheap dim sum, this is my first stop.
