| - Toronto people, you are all so lucky w/ a place like this. When I read some of the reviews, it just goes to show how "petty" some Yelpers can be. C'mon, complaining about long wait, efficient but less than polite service when the place is packed/turned over 8-10 times a day? I almost bet these Yelpers have never worked a real job that requires some sweat and wits to get thru the day (try standing on your feet 10 hrs straight serving over 2000 people during the entire time). Fancy is many notches above the typical good tasting restaurants in this ultra competitive city. If Fancy migrated to NYC Flushing, FORGET about getting a seat unless you slip an envelope of cash to the manager (Andrew Jackson or above), that's how good this place is in my opinion.
Food quality: 10 Stars.
Price: 5 Stars plus (10 Stars if outside of Toronto due to competition/comparison locally)
Service: Good enough for the pace. Truthfully, anyone who lounges around and not eating quickly and go home should get bad service so the next person can have seating to enjoy.
Ambiance: Simple decor but aesthetically pleasing. Look at the geometry and spacing, some Feng Shui in action here boys n girls....
Details: Yes, all about details in the whole shebang. Dim Sum, snacks, main dishes, fancy food, street like food, dessert, nothing disappoints. No waste at all, this place is like an elegant machine that just keeps on churning out high quality eats.
Any newbies who hasn't tried this place, ignore the negative reviews. Take it from someone who has eaten 000's of roast ducks, 000's of lobsters/scallops/, 000's of live fish/Geoduck/fresh Abalone, giant scallops, live prawns. This place is too awesome to pass up if your #1 priority is good tasting Cantonese food.
Only thing you will not find here are those odd ball dishes made w/ funny parts of animals or insects, which can be delicious too, but not main stream enough to warrant them as menu items. You know, inner parts mixed into the Dim Sum dish, funny herbal body parts soup, fried insects or worms, etc. And yes, I tried them a few times too, just proves I don't pass up any potential culinary experience for my taste buds.
