I can't wait until someone else opens a decent Chinese restaurant that serves dim sum in Aurora. Please please please! Someone open one fast!
Getting a dim sum fix is the ONLY reason why I have gone here on a few occasions.
The first time we went the din sum was good, and I was a happy camper. The next time we went they were out of 2 of the 5 items we ordered, and one was ice cold when it's supposed to be fried hot. The third time we went they were out of the same items as before, and the taste of the egg tarts were so disgusting I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth...even after brushing.
Pros:
Location! Love that it's in Aurora close to home. Ample parking so no fuss no muss.
Easy to get a seat. It's never busy so no concerns about lineups.
Serves all-day dim sum. Most of the time it's not terrific but will do in a pinch.
Cons:
The service is awful. Rude, slow and often forgetful.
Overpriced to the max. Dim sum is twice what you would pay in Markham/Richmond Hill and not nearly as good. Regular menu items are also pricey: paid $12.00 for a plate of stir friend veggies.
Quality of dim sum is poor and seems to be getting worse.
The decor is NOT classy...it's insanely tacky.
I look forward to the day a better place opens in the area. Lots of opportunities to provide better value, and lots of people in the area ready to switch restaurants.
Bottom line: No point wasting time going for dim sum at a place were the quality and service are poor and that runs out of the dishes you're looking for. Make drive to Markham or Richmond Hill for your dim sum fix.
