Not sure why people say this place is too expensive. I'm not extravagant person. The place is fairly well priced! And really good northern style food. We had hot & sour Soup ($8.99 yum traditional favor), mushroom in dry pot ($13.99 spicy hot and lots of mushrooms) and vegetarian buns ($8.99). Best place for taste of Home in toronto. Dingtaifeng pricing is similar with very limited dish choices. Congee Queen is more expensive and Nobody seems to complain about pricing there. When comes northern style food, people presume needs to be cheap. ( Beautiful restaurant and environment like this is not for you then). I Will definitely come back.
