This past weekend, my family came here for dim sum on a whim. Spring Villa has an early morning dim sum special where all dishes are $3 regardless of the size so on the weekend it can get quite busy. Expect to wait for a seat.
Unlike typical dim sum places, food is not pushed out in carts and displayed for patrons to select. The menu is a list of dim sum and you check off what you want, the menu items come out staggered as they are prepared.
We ordered the typical dim sum fare: chiu chow style dumpling, stir fried rice noodles with hot sauce, braised beef brisket and turnip, and oyster lettuce congee. All tasted good, but as far as dim sum is concerned nothing too special. I would recommend the chiu chow dumplings for the peanut lovers, it's very tasty, and the stir friend rice noodles with hot sauce was a favourite at our table.
The service was quick, our tea got filled up several times when needed, and the food came out hot. Definitely a good dim sum option in Markham, I'll be back.
