| - Stopped in for dim sum on Sunday in the mid-afternoon.
Arrived to a nearly empty dining room, not a good thing for dim sum. Took a couple minutes to get someone's attention to show us to a table. Decided on our order, chose the classice, steamed shrimp dumplings, fried pork and chive, lotus leaf-wrapped sticky rice, beef balls, steamed pork dumplings, fried calamari.
First out was the calamari. It was cold. And stale. And oily has hell. We had a couple bites and shifted it to the end of the table. Out next was the shrimp dumplings, which were good. Waitess noticed the full plate of calamari and that we weren't eating it. She asked why, I told her it was cold. She took it off our bill.
We enjoyed the bulk of the steamed and fried dumplings. The sticky rice was terrible, full of mystery brown meat and tons of hard chunks (please god, tell me it wasn't bones). So bad.
Service was okay, a bit rushed.
Wouldn't go back. Would rather battle the hordes of dim-sumers on Spadina.
