| - After craving dim sum for quite some time now, we finally made our way over to Rol San. I could not remember (based on the name) whether or not I had dined here before. I knew there were all kinds of all-day dim sum restaurants on Spadina, but was not recalling the names of all the ones I had frequented. I did, however, recall enjoying one place in particular and my husband was insistent that it was Rol San. He was right!
We came here for dinner, so we managed to avoid the crazy lineups I've read so much about. It was after 8:00, and the dining room was emptying out, but there were still a few groups of people there, many families, and some with kids running around. I've come to expect this kind of behaviour when dining at establishments that welcome families and children and I have just decided to not let it bother me.
While arriving a bit later did get us seated right away, it did also mean that some of my favourite menu items were no longer available including the rice noodle rolls. That being said I really did enjoy all the other favourites that we ordered. We maybe went a bit overboard, and had to take some food home with us, but I have no regrets.
The food came out quickly, it was all really hot, almost too hot to eat at first. My favourite dish of the night was the grilled eggplant.
My only complaint if I had one...and I know this is something very common in many Toronto restaurants (particularly in Chinatown)...they don't take Mastercard, or Debit. Only cash or VISA.
I will definitely go back!
