Lai Wan Heen has some unique taste on some Chinese dim sum dishes, which is nice and innovating but some of the dishes aren't the best. Let me clarify some of the traditional dishes are fine with quality and taste but the price really drives it south for me.
Dim sum is meant to be a family style and affordable meal that most people can choose to eat. I think my friend and I ordered around 7-8 plates of food and it was around 40 CAD per person if memory comes to serve. It's been a few months since I visited there but it's not on my favorite spots to visit. They had some foie gras and truffle in their dishes but it didn't do much for me . I couldn't eat the foie gras cause of allergies and the truffle didn't taste any different or special from a regular dish.
The service was good and attentive. As a whole, I don't think the price and my friend's recommendation was living up to the hype.
