  • ReviewI was looking for one of the new places to try north of 7, and came across this restaurant. They have very little parking out front, perhaps more behind - or if you want to park across the street and brave the insane driveway, there's more parking there.

    I am occidental - and was the only one here, which is a relatively good sign. The food arrived super hot but took longer than it does in some nearby Dim Sum places. The delivery people were very clean and well dressed which was pleasing. I was given really nice Jasmine tea when I sat down - but was charged $1 for it....I don't mind, but I've not been charged for tea before (I think of it as water...perhaps it's a Dim Sum thing).

    The shrimp dumplings had good firm shrimp, with nice flavour, as did the steamed rice noodles. I should have gotten a veg dish but didn't want to overeat. The mango pudding presentation was very nice - a heart form with nice cream / sweetened condensed milk.

    I'll probably try it again - but felt a bit out of place.

  • ReviewWe used to frequent this restaurant but no more. Had to wait for anyone to acknowledge us, although one of the owners / managers looked our way quite a few times; ordered tonic water and was given club soda. By the time I noticed, had to get waitresses attention way too many times, told her, she said she put it in as Tonic, did I want another...and I said no because I was done my dinner. SHE STILL CHARGED ME FOR IT!!!! I didn't drink ANY of the soda water. Mashed potatoes were cold.
