This was my first dim sum experience in Calgary (and only the second of my life, unless you count some great pork buns last month at the Manila Airport). So I'm definitely not claiming to wear any dim sum expertise crowns, but it's in my top two!
First of all, grab at least seven other friends and make a booking or you'll end up stuck in the line down the stairs. And take at least one other friend that DOES know their dim sum and can order for you or at least help you identify what's going past you on the carts. And if you can, sit near the kitchen at the back and the food will be super fresh.
I enjoyed the experience and while most of the time I had no idea what i was eating to make recommendations, my enjoyment level was always within the average to really good range. Our tea was constantly refilled and they just mark off your chosen plates on the table's card as you go.
The best part? All in (including LOTS of food, tax and tip), it worked out to be $22.50 per person.
