| - So here's the deal...I'm from out of town (MN), which is a desert for #legit dim sum. When I hit dim sum...and I hit it HARD...I expect propane steam carts with old Chinese ladies pushing'em (yelling at you!), the smell of excess propane in the air and a slightly dodgy interior (reminds me of HK dim sum).
I found this place (thanks Google Maps!) in the heart of "Chinatown" on Dundas Street. Got lucky and found a place to park a block away...and we quickly made our way to glorious dim sum!
Our flight got in around 12:30pm and arrived around 2pm...not bad considering customs, traffic and the parking situation. Dim sum is all-day and given out off-hours arrival, we were seated quickly. Within minutes of hitting the chair, the first cart rolled out and we hit the usuals...shrimp and pork dumplings, chive dumplings, BBQ pork buns, pot stickers, phoenix claws, spare ribs, congee and a couple others I don't know the English name for!
What I loved about this place is everything was piping HOT, not cold...items didn't fall apart as you try to pick it off the bamboo container...all great signs of legit dim sum. My mouth is watering just writing this...sigh...I wish this place was in Minneapolis/St.Paul!!!
If you're in T.Dot...find your way to Dundas Street and hit this place up!
