| - One of our Dim Sum staples.
Disclaimer: since I didn't grow up eating Dim Sum, my wife has slowly introduced me to most of the dishes available at the average Dim Sum place, so my standards may be different than others.
Now to the review: While there are places that do Dim Sum better, Honey & Garlic is clean, has good food, and is welcoming to "western" clientele, which can't always be said about other places. So, the top reasons why this place gets 4 stars:
1) BBQ Pork Buns are saucy and tasty (Like I said, I'm new to Dim Sum)
2) Flaky crust Egg Tarts - Pretty good filling too.
3) Good Tentacles (one of the few places I will get tentacles happily)
4) Clean!
So, why only 4? Well, it isn't the best Dim Sum I've had, and it is a cart Dim Sum place first and foremost. Yeah, yeah, I can appreciate it is part of the experience and I can always ask, but man do I hate waiting for the good stuff while I see chicken feet pass for the umpteenth time (Yes, I have had Chicken feet, and no, they aren't good), and I never see any waiters to order directly.
Regardless, I'd highly recommended Honey & Garlic to any one looking for Dim Sum in the GTA.
