  • This is a pretty local place to have dim sum until about 2:30pm everyday, and their Szechuan menu anytime. It's clean and relatively large with booths for 4 with wooden chairs and tables around the walls, round tables on the floor and 2 rooms with large tables. Busy on weekends. Many of the dim sum items are good, such as the BBQ (or Shrimp or Donut Stick) steamed rice noodle rolls, fried squid, fried shrimp dumplings, pork dumplings, regular dumplings, onion pancakes. They are about average for BBQ pork buns, sticky rice in lotus leaf, black pepper spare ribs and siu mai. They are below average for their deserts and shrimp dumplings (ha gow). For the downtown dim sum crowd, eating here is like eating for free. The dishes are $2 each, $1.80 in the afternoon. Specific dumpling and special Chinese pancakes are $3 to $4. Even for Scarborough residents it is quite reasonably priced here with good portions. Wait staff is friendly, but they are used to being spoken to in some form of Chinese. They do speak English, but none of them speak it as their first language. Just don't get frustrated and ask again, they don't care if you ask a few times and neither should you. If you come to order Szechuan, don't expect westernized versions. It's the real deal here folks. Many spicy items are "numbing" spicy, rather than hot spicy, expect it to be like a tube of Orajel is in the dish. And, there will be what seems like 1 lbs of chillies in your dish (I don't even know how they make money it must be close to $10 of chili peppers in there). It is an acquired taste, however, very authentic stuff, and you see mainly mainland new Chinese immigrants eating here and having a great time of it. A cheap option is their hotpot, which is 11 bucks (or so) and enough for 2 people. You have the option of 1/2 hot (numbing) + 1/2 normal soup, or full bowl of either; probably best just to get the normal (but then again it might be a way to see if my description above was just hyperbole). Comes with one plate of meat, and one large plate combined of veggies, tofu and noodles. (Restaurant next door has regular all you can eat hot pot). If you're ever up here, or want to have a big dim sum for cheap, try this place out.
