I came here for my mom's early birthday celebration, but I didn't know about the special price before 11 am..There was a small wait around 12 pm, but that was no big deal. Other dim sum places require you to wait for a lot longer on the weekends.
The food came pretty quickly after we placed our orders (probably in about 10-15 minutes). My family ordered some typical dim sum dishes including the shrimp dumplings, beef rice rolls (funny how they call them rice crepes on their menus), spare ribs, sticky rice, beef balls, and chive pork blood. The food tasted delicious and definitely high quality, but I was not particularly blown away. However, the sticky rice we got was fried, and I was quite intrigued by the texture; it looked sort of like a mountain. I'm not a big fan of sticky rice with a fried exterior, but I felt that this tasted great, and the frying did not diminish the quality of the food at all. The other dishes tasted great as well, and probably comparable to a lot of high quality Chinese restaurants. However, the beef rolls were a bit smaller than usual.
Overall, Paradise is a bit pricey, but it's worth the price for a fine dining experience. It's nice to have a place in North York, especially since I don't live in Markham. I recommend to come again but probably when the special prices apply.
