Dim Sum Town - North York Industiral

Very tasty Phoenix Bun. The pork spareribs and black bean sauce on rice also good. Did take away and service folks are very nice.

A very flavourful dim sum place with choices for both vegetarians and meat eaters. Both my wife and I were very impressed with the flavour of the food, the unlimited pu erh tea (for $1.50 per person) and a very good and attentive service. We found it randomly and based on mixed reviews almost did not stay, will be back.

I did not want to post such a negative review but feel it would be irresponsible of me not to. I cannot recommend this restaurant. This restaurant is not clean. We were there for the first (and last time) last weekend. The table cloth was on the table inside out, you could still see the stains and the material was shredding on the seems. The tea pot was grimy all over. The lazy Susan was sticky and still had caked on food from who ever ate there last. But worst of all, as we were waiting to pay the bill (we were a family of 6 people) they had not yet cleared the table and a bunch of fruit flies started camping out around us and the table. Yuck!

We were looking for a dim sum restaurant with cart service. According to their website (and posted on the wall in the restaurant) dim sum is small plates brought to the table on carts. However when we got there we found you can only order from the menu. As for the food it is only ok. The seafood (shrimp and lobster) were tough and the lobster balls were not as pictured (which obviously would not have happened if it was cart service)

Do not order the Shanghai soup dumplings. These are not soup dumplings with thin skin wrapped around soupy pork. The skin was thick. The inside is standard ground pork. You would do better with frozen dumplings from the supermarket at a fraction of the cost. The chicken with black beans was bland. It had such big pieces of chicken bell peppers making you think that they didn't care about their work. After all, the restaurant was not busy. The garlic snow pea leaves were OK. My average rating was generous.
