| - This is one of those restaurants that you could easily overlook but shouldn't. Me and my friend are regulars here partly because it's really close to my home but also because it's also a genuinely good place to go to.
Being regulars we also have our regular menu items, if you go dim sum it's almost mandatory to order the Har Gow and Siu Mai and there version it's simple, nothing fancy but still satisfying. Curry squid most of the time is good and perfectly cooked with a nice curry sauce but it could be more consistent (last time we went the sauce was on the watery side). Beef tripe, which may not be too everyones liking, is a favourite and doesn't disappoint with a nice garlic sauce that's just strong enough. The big reason we go there, however, is the deep fried wontons, quite possibly the best I've tried in the city. The New Treasure version is just stuffed with meaty goodness and bigger then what you normally find anywhere else. But again, the last time I went they seemed to have cut down on the meat and it's closer to the typical wontons you find elsewhere.
The level of service is great, the owner is very friendly and welcoming and the wait staff are very attentive, and prices are reasonable with the bill for 2 people (7 dishes) coming out to $25 once you factor in tax and tip. Plus this place is fast, we usually order from the menu and the food is out in 5 minutes. I recommend you go during lunch and avoid dinner if you want dim sum. We went for dinner once and the food tasted like it had been reheated.
Overall I very much recommend this place, especially if you work in the area and need a place to stop by quickly to satisfy your lunchtime cravings.
