| - This place is regularly my go-to dim sum restaurant in the Markham area. Although the service is lacking (similar to many other dim sum places), the food is great and the price is right. I would recommend that you come here on those early Sunday mornings!
1. Food (4/5)
The food is pretty great. They have a lot of selection from their menu. The price isn't bad either. If you go in the early morning (before 11am), all S, M, and L dishes are $3; whereas the XL dishes are at $6. Be sure to try the spring rolls and the short ribs, both of which are common things that regulars order. I also like the salt and pepper deep fried mushrooms that can be found in the secondary menu! (You can only get the mushrooms after 11am though)
2. Service (3.5/5)
Not the best service. Everyone is so busy that they often forget when you ask for something like hot sauce. You might have to end up asking 2 - 4 times before you get what you want. Other than that, the food comes out relatively quick, so you got that going.
3. Wait (3.5/5)
The waits on weekends are what you would expect. If you want to go for early morning dim sum, you should be lining up at around 8:30AM, before they open at 9AM. By 9AM, if you are not in the early batch of customers, you may not get a seat. If you know that you will be late and not make it by 8:45AM at the latest, go around 10:30AM - 11AM, where most other people get seats. Note, you'll miss out on the early specials.
Overall (4/5)
The place is great overall. The interior looks classy and so is the china that they serve with. The food is good and they come out relatively quick. Although the service can be better, the restaurant is bis enough to accommodate large parties, which reduces wait times! Overall, I would recommend this place to family and friends!
