Why haven't I done a review for Magic Bowl yet?!
I discovered this place by accident one day when my extended family was visiting. They wanted Dim Sum but didn't want to go all the way to Chinatown to get some...I was skeptical at first but this place definitely has 'hidden gem' quality.
The owners are a young family from China, the husband went to school for 3 years to learn how to do Dim Sum and says that it is ever evolving...he could go to school for 10 more years and not know everything about Dim Sum dishes. His classmates in China keep him up to date on the Dim Sum trends and he tries new dishes every couple of months. So far my favourite are the pork and mushroom steamed dumplings that look like mushrooms and the sweet yolk piggy buns. Oh, and the har gow are perfection.
All the dim sum items are made every day or every other day so they are super fresh (Taryn doesn't know what she's talking about) I much prefer the dim sum at Magic Bowl over the same old same old at Silver Dragon and we try to visit every Sunday now.
I remember why I didn't want to do a review...I want to keep this place all for myself!!
