2.5 stars? Not sure how this displaced Rol San in the most recent Blog T.O. Top 10 DS in DT Toronto. Food was decent and was nice to see the clear plastic tray covers but all dishes were served room temp. Carts are a novelty but they don't circulate evenly throughout the dining room, so what you get depends on where you sit.
Siu mai was a bit dry and got a piece of gristle. Fried shrimp & chive dumplings were too oily (not crispy enough). Tripe was decent. Turnip cakes were tasty and a good texture. Steamed pea shoots with cilantro soy were delicious. Spare ribs were room temp and gelatinous. Steamed shrimp dumplings were tasty but a touch overcooked. Had to ask for soy and chili oil (and only received a tiny bowl ~ 1.5 tbsp).
We were there for 80m without getting staple dishes like deep fried squid tentacles, deep fried shrimp dumplings, shrimp rolls, taro puffs, steamed BBQ pork buns, or sticky rice. Seemed like the same cart of egg tarts kept circling round our table while the tastiest dishes stayed well out of reach, getting snatched up within several feet of the kitchen.
Lots of tables so no wait time, even on a Sunday, but some things are worth waiting for..... like a table at Rol San.
