Recommended by friends, i came for dim sum at this place. First impression, it is pretty busy for a weekday lunch time. Tastes of dim sum are quiet different since they are all homemade explained by the owner. Years ago, many restaurants made their dim sum, but now dim sum are pre-made by big suppliers. It is good to taste homemade stuff...
2pm arrival, half full restaurant, 20 mins to get seated, 1 hr until the first dish came out. I've never experienced this level of slow service. 1 server for the restaurant, she did everything and tried very hard and was pleasant. The only good dish was the Cantonese shrimp dumpling. Stuffed green pepper was ok, insufficient sauce and not flavourful. Stuffed eggplant pieces were tiny, dry with very little and flavourless sauce. Deep fried stuffed tofu was flavourless. Chicken feet skin was tough and flavourless. Tofu skin rolls had no flavor. Beef in rice wraps were cold, flavourless sauce, and way too thick and not at all delicate. Cantonese noodles with bean sprout were cold. Lotus leaf stuffed with rice was flavourless. So disappointing. Unfortunately the food at this restaurant doesn't hold a candle in flavour to Jadeland, Yangtze or Yimin. We just wanted a decent dim sum but it was not to be had here. Save your money and time and eat elsewhere.
Good food, friendly staff
2+hrs, 60% of order. Staff were clueless about the wait. We had to tell them there were open tables before getting seated. 45mins after ordering, the food started trickling in one dish at a time over the next hour. Periodically the server would come over to the table and tell us certain things were not available. The food we did get was good but definitely not worth the wait. We ended up canceling the remainder of our order after over 2 hours as we were told the cook hadn't started preparing it. Dim Sum is a traditional Chinese cuisine that is supposed to be quick.....there was nothing quick about our experience. Definitely won't recommend or be back.
One of the rare dim sum restaurants that makes all of their dishes from scratch (even the classic fried flat noodle dish - you may be familiar with the 'Beef fried flat noodle dish offered in many Chinese take-out). They started in the first floor of a single family dwelling roughly a decade or so ago and have moved to a proper restaurant building to accommodate more clients. Come early for the wait is long due to not only many customers but the dishes themselves are made from scratch and brought fresh right away from their steamers. Dim-sum was always a weaker offering compared to Toronto but the availability of 'freshly created' dishes definitely gives it the edge. It'd be hard to find a place that doesn't offer pre-made dim sum dishes that are simply frozen goods placed in a steamer.Only negative is the long wait times but given the adage 'great things come to those who wait' has never been truer!
20211230 We must have ordered 10+ dim-sum dishes & were completely full with left-overs to take home. Service & price were both good. If you drive, arrive early as there are less than 10 parking spots reserved for Hung Sum. There are street parking in the neighbourhood though. Highly recommended!!
Used to frequent this place; seems that things really went down during the pandemic - a beef/rice dish was served in a broken casserole, on top of the tous, beef was not edible - too fatty and jello-like. Really too bad, as much as I want to support local places, this is really unacceptable - see photo. Do not recommend.

Really enjoyed our first dim sum experience here today. Wasn't able to try a lot of dishes, as there were only 2 of us..But everything was good. Looking forward to coming back with more people to try more dishes! Everything deep fried was crispy and not oily.Not a lot of vegetarian options though on the dim sum menu, if that's a consideration. Very good service, clean and tidy interior.
This place is horrible, it’s the most worst place I ever had. The server is unrespect, the food was cold and sloppy, the porridge has no taste, even my grandma can do better than this. I don’t know how it get up to 4.3 star.
