| - My boyfriend, family, and I came here for dim sum/brunch before heading to our next destination. We arrived around 11-11:30 and it was about 10-15 minute wait for a table of 13. We had a person in our party that was handicap so it took a while to find a table to fit all of us and unfortunately there was no table to fit all 13 of us so our party was split into two separate tables.
Casa Victoria is very large, elegant, and classy with decor that's very Victorian! The waitresses and waiters were all dressed in a Victorian-like uniforms. Too bad the pleasant decor doesn't match up with their attitude. The staff was a bit snotty and rude.
This was my first experience with a Hong Kong style dim sum where you can place the quantity of each item that you want and the staff will bring it to you. So we had the following -
Shu Mai - These shu mai were very meaty, tasty, and fresh! The quality was a lot better than the ones here in New York.
Beef Rice Noodle Roll (Gnow Cherng) - This is one of my favorite dim sum dishes, but too bad I didn't quite enjoy these. These were a little small compared to the ones I have in New York and didn't taste too fresh.
Spare Ribs - The spare ribs were really yummy, seasoned just perfectly! It was really tender.
Lotus leaf sticky rice - I didn't try these, but they came in a set of three and looked very small.
Scallion Pancake - I never had scallion pancake during dim sum, so this was my first time. It wasn't as crunchy or fresh as I hoped.
Roast Duck Noodle Soup - We also ordered a roasted duck with noodle soup. The roast duck was mediocre, not as good as the ones in New York. However, the noodle soup was really good as well as the broth.
Snow Pea Leaves Dumpling - I really liked these dumplings. They were folded so beautifully and tasted amazing. It was filled with snow pea leaves, mince carrots, and mushroom. Good item for vegetarians.
Chicken Feet - This is one of my favorite menu items when I have dim sum, but the chicken feet from Casa Victoria didn't taste very fresh nor delicious at all.
Another point I would like to bring up is that this restaurant doesn't serve coffee or iced coffee which is a total bummer!
I was hoping for a good experience at Casa Victoria, but no such luck. The staff needs improvement in their people skills and the way they speak to customers and food quality needs a slight improvement. I think next time I return to Canada, I may not return here as I am eager to try other restaurants, but also because the quality of the dim sum wasn't superb.
