Extremely disappointed and to give some background I was born and raised in Vancouver so I know my dim sum. It just seems there is no proper benchmark for dim sum in Toronto's Chinatown.
This place came onto my radar with recent blog and Yelp posts and I was excited to hear that there may be once again a decent dim sum place in Chinatown. The moment we walked in and sat down it was just disappointing, the table clothes at our table were stained, the tea cups and plates were sticky, and the same carts of dim sum made its' rounds for almost the entire time we were there. Not much in terms variety and the quality of dim sum really lacks. For example, we ordered the big dumpling that comes in a soup. Usually it has some shrimp, fake shark fin, and some meat in this giant dumpling within a really tasty broth. But all that was in there was a dumpling skin holding a couple of measly shrimps and not much else and it was in this really yellowy broth that didn't look natural. The usual dim sum dishes like har gow and shu mai were ok but nothing spectacular. I will not be back and not sure what the rage was with all the other posts I've seen on this restaurant.
