| - You know what the big thing going for this place is?
The lack of people shoving and cramming their way into a teensy tiny establishment, even if there is a back room (here's looking at you Rol San kid), and being able to be seated within 5 minutes of arriving. Even on a civic holiday. Perhaps this is in part due to the fact that it is hidden a few flights above the DQ on Spadina. I never knew it was there until my sister introduced me, and the space itself is pretty big, surprisingly.
True, the food itself is nothing memorable - shrimp har gow is a little too sticky, yes, atmosphere is bordering on not-in-a-good way tacky , and I did see repeat visits of the same cycle of food. However, when you're hungry and craving dim sum on the fly, what's it gonna be: waiting 45 minutes for a noisy 'shared' table, or sneaking into this place for a quick and calm dim sum meal?
