| - This has been my favorite place to have dim sum in Canada for a long time and I make an effort to visit this restaurant every time I visit. On a Saturday morning, the restaurant was understandably busy, but the wait was fairly quick. The decor was elaborate complete with a multitude of chandeliers and wall lights shaped as candle sticks with crystals dangling from their perch. Heavy purple curtains covered the windows and the chairs were covered with purple velvety fabric. It was hard to keep in mind that this was a Chinese restaurant and we were only here to have some dim sum.
We were given a sheet of paper with the menu on it and were prompted to mark the items we wanted. We ordered the shrimp dumpling, steamed pork dumpling(siu mai), steamed glutinous rice w/ chicken, spare ribs w/ black bean sauce, steamed bean curd roll in oyster sauce, braised radish w/ turnip in pepper sauce, beef tripes w/ ginger & onion... etc. it sounds like a lot, but we were seated with a good 6 people. Out of all this food, I would recommend the shrimp dumpling, steamed pork dumpling, and beef tripes. However, this is not to say that everything else was bad, but these items are what I liked the best.
The restaurant was a bit loud with the voices of other customers and the clattering of cups and plates being collected by staffers as customers left. Overall I enjoyed my brunch at this restaurant very much and would definitely come again.
