I tried this great restaurant based on the ratings that previous yelpers gave it... and I am not sorry I did.
I had a bit of a tricky time trying to find the place since I am not that familiar with this part of the city. But basically if you go in the Pacific Mall parking lot and just keep driving around it, eventually you'll find it. It is in the building behind the mall.
I was keen on this place because last week I opted out of going to a different dim sum restaurant (that serves meat) with my (meat eating) sisters because I don't speak the language and can't decipher between what is vegetarian and what isn't. BUT at THIS place, I get to order anything. In fact, I even picked a number at random for one of the dishes we tried.
While everything is vegetarian, the menu is in english too so you can know what you are ordering. And if you have any questions, the servers speak english very well and can help you out.
The menu is at the table when you are seated. It is paper and you just write a number beside the dish you want corresponding to the quantity of that dish you would like. I probably don't need to explain this as it is pretty intuitive, but at least you know what you are getting into before going.
I ordered the spring rolls, Shanghai dumplings, deep fired pumpkin and stuffed buns. All items were delicious. But my favourite were the dumplings.
The place was very clean and the service was excellent. Overall it was a pleasant experience and I will be going back. Next time my sisters are in a dim sum mood I know where to suggest. =)
When you are done eating, you can always stop in at the market in the adjacent building and pick up some more stuffed buns or dumplings to reminisce on your experience at a later date.
