| - Ginger & Onion keeps me coming back! (not anymore, read further...) - 4.5/5
This is my family's go-to restaurant for classic dim sum or what Cantonese people call "yum cha" which literally translates to "drink tea" in Cantonese. We have been coming here for years and it rarely fails to disappoint! The place is clean, doesn't have an overtly strong smell of food and that's rare because the majority of the resturants I've been to, I leave the place with a lingering smell in my clothes and in my hair. To order, the dim sum carts of food circle the restaurant floor, you can either wait for them to come by your seating area, give your order sheet to them and they will mark down it accordingly or walk up to their cart with your order sheet and pick up a dish. Most recently, my boyfriend and I came to dine here about 2 weeks ago while this deliciousness was still operating.
Presentation: Clean plates, food placed nicely, spacious seating, all staff in uniform
Pros: Taste is consistent, portions are generous and wait staff speak Chinglish (it's endearing ^.^)
Cons: Sometimes a dish takes forever to come out and the wait times for seating range from 20 minutes to 1 hour but so worth it so it's a bittersweet Con, NOT all day dim-sum, NO ENGLISH on order sheet so you MUST know the names of the dish to order ^.^'
Fave Eats: Tripe, (boyfriend says it's "too chew"), never fails to disappoint in flavour; Siu Mai, four big fresh juicY pieces; Jah Haa Gok, I love the "mayo" they serve on the side (miracle whip in disguise) and I dip everything into that and Yau Yee Sou, apparently every restaurant makes it different, they do it with the batter and that's the best way to enjoy it (even though it would cause yeet-hay later, haha)!
Price: dirt cheap, a dish costs less than $3!
Seconds: YES PLEASE! but PERMANENTLY CLOSED NOW, womp womp ='(
