This is certainly the coolest Dim Sum restaurant I ever stepped into. Although it is clearly Chinese themed, It also feels a little Medieval.
First the GOOD:
- Not overcrowded like most dim sum places. And not as loud, tables are a good distance apart.
- Table settings well above average.
- Service was generally good but a little cold at times.
- Like the double sided tea cups - not too hot to hold. Fancy tea pots remain heated thanks to a candle underneath.
- Beautiful spotless washrooms
We ordered way too much food but some high level thoughts...
- 3 color shrimp & scallop dumpling - Pretty to look at, average taste.
- Shrimp and vegetable dumpling - Pretty to look at, average taste
- Mixed mushroom dumpling - good
- Chicken & chive dumplings - the standout of the meal
- Squid tentacles - kind of oily
- Stir fried rice noodle with shrimps and vegetables - good
- Steamed beef ball - no thanks
- Sesame balls with custard - good
- Lotus leaf sticky rice - good
And the Not so GOOD:
- It is pricier vs. most of the competition.
I enjoyed my experience at Dragon Legend and appreciated the attention to detail with respect to decor. Not my favourite dim sum in Markham but worth a visit every now and then.
