| - The best dim sum place downtown Toronto. Food is fresh and tasty, service is fast, and place is (relatively) clean. There are cheaper, cleaner, and better dim sum places, but they are all at least half an hour way uptown in Richmond Hill / Markham / Scarborough (current fave: Dragonboat Chinese Cuisine at Hwy 7 & East Beaver Creek).
My fave dim sum dishes: har gow and crispy fried taro dumplings (see description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro_dumpling).
This place is also great late-night after clubbing, but be warned, they only have all day dim sum Sundays - Thursdays (so not available Fridays & Saturdays). We were a bit disappointed, but made do with congee, cantonese chow mein and salt & pepper pork chop instead. Still good!
** A tip when going there for dim sum. It gets really busy on weekends and you always have to wait if you go after 12pm, so go early. If you can't make it out before then, and have to wait, be sure to try the back part as well as the front. There is a separate list for the section at the back, and I've found that it's often faster.
