Dragon Dynasty is one of the very few restaurants on the eastern part of North America where the dims um seems comparable to the dimsum in Hong Kong. We travelled via public transportation from downtown TO and it took us almost an hour and half. The restaurant is located inside Chartwell mall, which we didn't know so we had to look around a bit at first. However, the mall is tiny so once you are inside, it's easy to find this place.
The wait around 11:40 was about 20 mins so it wasn't bad but we just managed to beat a big crowd... though I think we were helped by the rainy day. We got:
Baby squid in curry sauce: This was my favorite cuz the curry sauce reminded me of a sauce my mom used to make. The baby squids were cooked to perfection.
Tripe and pig skin in brown sauce: The tripe was good but I like pig skin to be crispy so I didn't like this soft, saucy version as much
Pork Meatballs : Decent flavor
Tendons braised in soy/star anise sauce: The tendons were very soft. Usually I like a little bit of bite in my tendons but since these were large chunks, I think cooking them soft was the way to go.
Pig feet braised brown/black bean sauce: Not bad but having had some amazing pig feet a couple of days ago, I wasn't too excited by this.
Tofu skin stuffed with pork and shrimp: Excellent
Fried glutinous rice dumplings with pork: They sit on your stomach like an iron due to the heaviness of the glutinous rice but these dumplings are a must have.
Spring roll w shrimp: Not what I'd typically order for dimsum but they looked interesting and they had Japanese mayo inside. Liked them a lot even though they aren't your typical dim sum dish
Hong Kong style egg tart: Not that great. Actually, probably the only disappointment of the meal. I prefer a crust that is more buttery and flaky and an egg custard that is less sweet and more eggy.
I think if I lived close by, I would be a regular here. Scarborough has an excellent choice for dim sum in Dragon Dynasty. We'll come back here again the next time we visit Toronto. Definitely worth the long trek.
