  • I've been here quite a few times for dim sum and a couple times for dinner. The large seating area, the upscale furnishings, the clean chinaware, and the unique dishes are just a few things that keep me coming back. Despite the large seating area, there is usually a wait for a table during dim sum hours on a weekend. The good thing is that there is a mall connected to the restaurant, so you can take a walk in the mall while one person in the party waits for the table. In my most recent dim sum visit, I discovered that they have a special menu with high end items you typically don't see at other dim sum restaurants. I knew I had to try something from this menu. We ordered the Dim Sum Platter which consisted of a Foie Gras and Shrimp Dumpling, a Steamed Shrimp Dumpling, a Guilin Shark Fin's Dumpling, a Steamed Dumpling in Chiu Chow Style, a Steamed Perigord Black Truffle Siu Mai, a Steamed Dumpling with Mixed Mushrooms and Snow Pea Leaves, and a Steamed Beef Dumpling. It's meant to be a sampler, so I would recommend you order more than one platter if you want to try multiple dumplings. All of the dumplings were on the larger side and were very juicy and flavourful! If I had to pick a favourite, I would pick the Guilin Shark Fin's Dumpling. I tried the Foie Gras and Shrimp dumpling at another restaurant and it tasted the same, so it wasn't as special (but still good), and I'm not a huge fan of truffle, but I thought the truffle paired well with the siu mai. For dinner, they usually aren't too busy. The food is still good, but the menu items are on the pricier side, so I think that drives some people away. Both times I came for dinner, I had a coupon, so I thought it was worth the price we paid. The best thing about dinner is the complimentary dessert they serve. In my most recent visit, they served us a purple rice soup, taro jello and almond cookies. Overall, this is an average to above average Scarborough restaurant, and you pay the price for it. On the upside, you can get a VIP card to get 10% off your bill and a discounted tea per person charge (this cannot be applied on top of the early bird dim sum discount). Watch out for the mandatory 10% service charge on your bill!
