| - I really like this yumcha place, it has been a favourite of my family for many years now.. from early yumcha to dinner reservations for a special event. It is pretty quiet in the morning, but quite busy close to dinnertime.
My most recent visit was for an early yumcha with family. The bill came up to $21CAD something for four people, including taxes but not gratuities yet. We had nine dishes in total- one bowl of congee which was decently-sized, two plates of cherng fun and the rest were dimsum. What a deal, eh? That's if you visit on a weekday and get the bill before 11:00AM, so you must be early. We weren't even in a rush or anything, but yumcha is also nice early in the morning like that so we took our time. The deal is 20% off your total bill and the tea cost for each person of the table is waived. So you could bring a lot of people and there won't be a charge for tea, as long as you get the check before 11:00AM.
They also have quite a variety of dimsum. I was adventurous and ordered two of the cherng fun that I've never tried before nor heard of. It wasn't bad, I liked one more than the other.. the beef with enoki mushrooms was good, but I don't really recommend the oyster mushroom one. The flavour of the enoki mushrooms in the cherng fun wasn't very strong and was covered mostly by the beef.
Had no problem with the service. They were polite and would answer your questions as to what was the name of the dish that they just brought out to you. I've noticed a lot of servers in yumcha restaurants are not always very nice, but I had no issues here. I would definitely return, looking forward to trying more dimsum on an early weekday again with family.
