Some of the best dim sum you have ever tasted anywhere is back in Ottawa.
Was there tonight and the new place is much larger and nicer. Food is fantastic as it always was. Can't believe it's been almost two years since they were open. Was not disappointed!
Now don't go there if you are in a rush, for those of you who don't know, everything is made-to-order and will be some of the freshest dim sum you have ever tasted. In fact it is one of the top dim sum restaurants that I have ever been to even after having lived in Toronto for five years and having travelled extensively around Asia.
Wait time today was about 15 min. We had the har gow, siu mei, lor mai gai (sticky rice), rice noodles, yu choy and sesame balls to name a few. All were excellent. The lor mai gai was a little overdone and clumpy, but the others were all simply fantastic. Can't find better dim sum even from a 5-Michelin star restaurant, having had that in Toronto.
I recommend going off-peak hours and taking your time when going there. Talk with your dinner mates and relax. You won't find better dim sum any place else. It's worth the wait.
Also, this being the 2nd week opening, they are still training new staff in the kitchen, so the wait may be longer if the restaurant is busy. I will cut them some slack for that.
Highly recommended.
Went there on my birthday, a Thursday night, with three family members. We are all Dim Sum addicts, and the food that night topped our expectations. Service was quick and attentive — were we familiar with Congee? OK then — and the food arrived piping hot and in rapid fire. My favourite was Green Onion and Ginger Squid, tenderized but not mushed, and full of flavours. Good menu, very well prepared. Try it. I don’t think it will disappoint.
Finally got around to try it today after reopening. Very happy; no disappointment. Bear in mind it's a Wednesday so it was not full and therefore it didn't take long for the food. We felt that all items we had were made "with sincerity". Very good quality; size might be smaller for some items but the quality and taste was so much better.
