Ding Tai Fung Shanghai Dim Sum

You can't go wrong coming to ding tai fun to eat. They got some yummy dumplings and they have this cold tofu dish that's so good it almost feels like you are eating meat.<br/ <br/ They also have onion pancake which is delish!

This is the same place as the one in Markham. Food is excellent, especially if you like Shanghai Cuisine. I've been told the it's not authentic, but whatever I love it! Hot and Sour soup is great, cold jelly fish, fried pork dumplings is a classic Shanghai dish and I like better than Asian Legend. More tasty, less greasy and thinner dough. I haven't found a bad dish they make. It is my GO TO place for Shanghai food! <br/ <br/ 5 out of 5!!!!!

Xiao Long Bao小籠包 probably one of my favorite Shanghai Dim Sum.. But I love steamed Chives Dumplings and a lot of other Shanghainese dishes.<br/ <br/ The menu reminded me of Ding Tai Fung in Markham and Xiao Long Bao is really the sister restaurant of DTF! I am just glad that finally they comes to their senses to open up another branch in Scarborough and have a new name, not trying to pretend to be something else... <br/ <br/ The interior is really spacious and the tables are set far apart. There are quite a few tables for big groups! <br/ <br/ We shared:<br/ <br/ 小籠包 $5.99) Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings <br/ <br/ 韮菜蒸餃 $5.99) Steamed Chive and Pork Dumplings <br/ <br/ 上海粗炒麵 $10.99) Fried Shanghai-Style Noodle <br/ <br/ 元盅雞湯 $6.50) Double Boiled Chicken Soup <br/ <br/ Everything was tasty and we really enjoyed the friendly service. <br/ <br/ The only reason it is not getting a 4 star is maybe the price point to portion. The Shanghai Noodle for $11 was just so small. The portion is half of what I would have get at other restaurants in the area at $9?!<br/ <br/ I would be back when I have cravings for soup dumplings when I am in the area. I love the Steamed Chive and Pork Dumplings!

The restaurant is much bigger with plentiful seating and spaced out tables. The interior felt modern with an exposed ceiling, light wood flooring and lots of natural light from the full glass store front. There is a window into the kitchen where chefs prepare fresh baos but it’s situated at the back of the restaurant and only a few tables can actually see the action.

The first two dishes served were incorrect – the wrong meat with the noodles and two orders of the steamed dumplings when we only ordered one. But, the staff were apologetic and quickly rectified the situation so the small mishaps were negligible.  You can’t come to Xiao Long Bao without ordering their namesake product steamed pork soup dumplings $5.99 for 6).  It’s a skill testing dish as the wrapper needs to be translucent yet strong enough to hold the filling and its juices.   Xiao Long Bao passed the test as the dumpling could be picked up wit
