| - I wasn't a fan of the old Ruby Restaurant when it occupied the same space (too crowded and chaotic, so so food, too far to drive too). When it re-opened as Regal, with all the buzz and anticipation, I couldn't resist giving it a try and really wanted to like it more.
Regal tries to be everything to everyone, but ends up being neither here nor there and lost in a sea of decent Cantonese restaurants in GTA.
Regal wants to give you good tasting and "healthy" dim sum, well adding mushrooms to chicken feet doesn't make it healthier but it ruins the chicken feet scene for a traditionalist who doesn't care for little mushrooms sticking to the feet!
Regal wants to be, well, Regal, but it's still a noisy and chaotic place, in particular at dim sum time. The prices have gone up, the food tastes about the same perhaps with slightly better presentation, new uniforms and new process (i.e. menu-ordering replaced the old push carts), but no substantive changes to make this place wow you.
With plenty of other choices in GTA, I wouldn't have an urge to go back.
