| - Best Dim Sum we have had in Markham in a long time!
The dining room lived up to the name and had Elegance, but what really sets Elegance apart is the quality of seafood in their Dim Sum. From the shrimp in the Har Gow and Cheung Fun, to the mixed seafood in the Congee, to the deep fried squid, the taste and freshness were top notch.
The Siu Mai was delicious with flying fish roe on top as it should be (not Foie Gras - I'm looking at you Crown Princess!) as were the steamed pork ribs. Chicken and ginger Bao was perfect!
Staff were professional and courteous and managers spoke English, which is really vital when you don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin and have to make a special request for something as simple as water instead of tea for a child, or hot sauce, not that the food here needed any extra sauces, it was hot, fresh and tasty, definitely worth the premium prices.
Living downtown there are a lot of Dim Sum options along Spadina, Dundas and even Gerrard East, but it's all low price and low quality.
Lately, visits to Markham for Dim Sum were disappointing (Spring Villa, Ginger & Onion, and Grand Lake, to be specific), so it was wonderful to finally find our new go to for quality Dim Sum!
Elegance Chinese Restaurant, please don't ever change, you are worth the drive to Markham!
*There is evidently underground parking for this mall but while the lot was busy, we didn't need to park underground.
