My sister and her friend loves coming here for random dim sum trips. So I decided to join her for some sister-bonding time. The staff were kind but more importantly, I love that everything we ordered felt and tasted fresh!
I'm always so skeptical of trying new dim sum places because there are a lot of places where you can tell they premade all the food and just warmed it up when you ordered it. But here, every dish tasted fresh.
I've been told that sometimes they do offer the cart service over the weekends.
The only upsetting part was the parking. There isn't much parking available because of the space the plaza has available so not really the restaurant's fault. But overall, a great place to go to if you're in the Lawrence and Black Creek area! -

This placed used to be good when I was a kid (10 years ago). Came back to try it but it was very disappointing.
We ordered: deep fried squid tentacles, shrimp rice roll, siu Mai, fried shrimp roll, sticky rice, and egg tarts. All would be rated as 0/5. Everything sucked and you could tell that the oil used to fry food was old or reused multiple times.
It's very hard to screw up a fried shrimp roll but they did. The tasted like fried chicken from the oil and there was barely any shrimp.
Please save your money and go to Richmond Hill where the dim sum is 100% better. Not sure how this place is sti operating... -

It's an alright establishment located in a plaza right by Lawrence and Black Creek. There's a good amount of parking though I can see it getting busy during certain times. I think some people may come here for weddings but I'm not too sure (though I think it's a strange option to). I mean, I wouldn't say it's a super awesome place for getting Chinese food but it's not the greatest to say either. Just average, but standard Chinese food. My family would sometimes come here to order takeout if we are really feeling for some Chinese food with the family. I've sat here a few times to eat and like I said, just nothing too memorable about it.

Honestly, it was so quiet in the restaurant when me and my sister walked in Saturday afternoon, they had all day dim sum so I was quite surprised to see the restaurant nearly completely empty minus a few other patrons. It was a bit of a wait since we got dim sum dishes and that needs time to steam and everything. Please this is our second time eating here.
We ordered:
- Chicken feet
- Tripe with scallions & ginger
- Char siu bao
- Curry squid
Everything was good until near the end when we had to pay. Note...guys never come around 3-5ish. Why? Because all of the staff will go on their late lunch/early dinner all at once during that time. This is a problem because they will not notice you if you need to wave them down for anything, so my recommendation is if you want a drink, flag them down before they go on break or tell them right away as they are seating you. Second problem, we finished eating right when they started their break, my sister looks at me hesitantly unsure of what to do in this situation, we flagged down a waiter, we got ignored. Tried again as another waiter comes by, again ignored. So sighing heavily, I told her to take our bill along with her purse up to the counter to pay. LIKE HOW THE HECK DO YOU IGNORE A CUSTOMER FRANTICALLY WAVING THEIR ARMS LIKE A LUNATIC TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION? Anyways we paid and as we were leaving, I asked how was the damage? She said $21 and something cents. I stopped and looked at her weirdly. They had overcharged us. I had looked on the menu for item prices and the large items were labelled $4, medium for $3.50, small for $2 or $2.50, a can of pop was at least $1 to $1.50. We did the calculations even after tax and tip it only totalled to $16 something. We had 2 large items, one medium and one small along with a can of pop. So you guys do the calculation and see you if you agreed with us. Don't get me wrong, the food was good but we knew we were never going back because of shitty service. -

The dim sum is not as good as many other dim sum houses you could go to in Chinatown Toronto or out in Mississauga. Location notwithstanding.... what irked me the most was the poor customer service: they brought us the wrong food, they forgot to bring out food we ordered, and it took a long time to get our bill. Very disappointed!
