Its just so hard to find good Chinese food these days, so many good places shut down during covid. So what seems to be left is just average Chinese food, Dine and dim was pretty good, i can't say the quality and flavor blew me away. but it did scratch that Chinese food itch so to speak. We had the Soya Ho Fun noodles that was good, could have used more sauce, but it was good, their General Tao's was not very good, their sauce was just strange, it seemed that they just threw a few sauces into their sweet and sour sauce, edible, but not worth ordering again. All of these places have their hit and miss dishes, and this was definitely one of them, not recommended. Would i order from them again? sure, but i'll never order that general Tao's again read more

They open until midnight on the weekends, which is a lifesaver. I was hungry and I didn't want to eat fast food late at night so I came here. 11pm they still provide fresh dim sum. Steamed to order. Of course some items ran out already but the core items still available. Everything came out great. Service was good . Upstairs is a karaoke and people were having a great time, no wonder they allow patrons come to the restaurant so late. read more

Popped in just before heading to the airport to try Dine & Dim out before our next visit. Ordered four things off the iPad - har gow, siu mai, bbq pork cheung fun, and the shrimp stuffed grilled eggplant. It seemed within 5 minutes our food was arriving at the table (as if they knew we were on the clock). All items we ordered were +/- $8 CAN and were of good quality and fresh. Pretty good price since that's comparable to Roi San ($9 = Moon Palace, $10 = Pearl Harbourfront). We had visited on Saturday morning pretty close to noon and no line. It is an option to order simply via the iPad from the full menu to mix and match a meal together rather than stick to dim sum. Easy parking at meter in front adds to the pluses of just staying in East Chinatown if that's closer. One would say they have a more focused dim sum menu while keeping prices down and quality high. And the setting is in no way divey as we sat in the front booth. read more

Dine & Dim - Our focused order: har gow, siu mai, bbq pork cheung fun, and grilled shrimp stuffed eggplant - Dim Sum Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Very tasty and fresh dim sum, I really like how clean and spacious the place is considering the location being old Chinatown. Service was also great every one had a positive energy around them. They have their whole menu from dim sum, lunch and dinner on their iPad which you order from. Everything was super tasty, we really enjoyed the squid tentacles which were battered differently compared to a lot of other places, the shrimp rice noodle roll and buns were also super enjoyable. Every dish we had didn't disappoint. Price was a bit on the pricey compared to uptown dim sum. We ordered 6 dim sum dishes which came up to $85 with tip and tax. read more

Came here for brunch while visiting the city. It was good, the only complaint I had with the dim sum was the har gow and shrimp and chive had skins that literally fell off and was kind of mushy. The rest of the food including the soup dumplings were good. Service was quick and efficient. read more

Some of the best Dim Sum outside of Markham! We were pleasantly surprised at the quality and freshness of the dumplings. We enjoyed our first meal so much, we were already making plans for our next visit. On a subsequent visit, we tried some of the larger shareable dishes and the standouts were the ones with noodles or veggies. I wasn't so much a fan of the deep fried, saucy stuff, like lemon chicken, crispy beef and General Tao chicken (which is my go-to when I'm in the mood for deep fried goodness, but the pieces of chicken were overwhelmed by batter and sauce). The restaurant and bathrooms are clean, staff is attentive and efficient. We will be back! read more

The venue was cute. Some fun lighting. They do events upstairs. The servers were friendly but very busy. A large group arrived as we did. The food was good no really liked the hargaw and the lotus leaf was nice. The bbq pork buns were a flavour I've never had before. They were super sweet but the texture was nice. read more

Amazing dim sum place with unique selections. We got many dishes to share family style. 1. Cuttlefish curry balls (amazing - unique) 2. Fried squid tentacles (my favorite!! Love it!) 3. Mushroom and veggies medley 4. Shrimp Cheung Fan - rice noodle rolls 5. Shrimp Stuffed eggplant (highly recommend) 6. Stuffed tofu skin (the braised juice was heavenly) Every dish we got was amazing. I would recommend every dish listed above. I have an obsession with fried squid tentacles and not many places serves it. I was so happy when my partner found a place with it. This place also did an amazing job with each dish. We were wowed not only by the quality & taste of the food but also the huge portion sizes. This place serves complementary tea and they have condiments such as soy sauce/chili sauce available on each table for self serve. I would love to come back again when we visit Toronto in the future. The location is not in the downtown city area but it was definitely worth a trip away from downtown to get a taste of this amazing dim sum! read more

This restaurant replaced a longstanding neighbourhood favourite. The decor is a bit of an improvement, although still nothing to write home about, and the banquettes are way too low for the height of the tables. The food definitely is not an improvement, especially considering how many grreat dim sum places there are in Toronto, and it's way overpriced for what you get. The service is definitely superior to it's predecessor. read more

Food quality is terrible. Everything is watery and overcooked. honestly probably the worst thing I've ever eaten.

Busy place as it's probably one of the only dim sum places around the area. But it's fresh and it's great tasting food. Well worth the money. The restaurant is clean and very lively. I would definitely recommend. read more

My bf were in the neighbourhood so I googled what's good and this restaurant came as too recommended and I can see why! I initially wanted to try the dim sum but it was a bit $$ for just two people so we opted for their lunch specials and it was such a good choice! It came with a rice or noodle dish and a cup of coffee or pop (we got pop). The Chashu & Wonton Noodle Soup was so flavourful! Loved loved the Chashu (my bf ate the wonton and also loved it). He got the General Tao Chicken and it's usually spicy but we requested little to no spice (he's not used to szechuan spice) and it came out the perfect level! He finished this plate in no time. We both walked away very full and happy! The inside was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Definitely recommend coming here! Ps. They served us tea right away even tho we didn't ask and we did get charged per person so if you don't want tea and don't want to get charged - let them know right away. read more

Tenjin Yokocho is a new sushi spot that opened above the dimsum spot Dine and Dim. Given they have the same owner, we were told we could order from both menus (yay!), though stuck with the Japanese cuisine (since we've already had Dine and Dim, which we loved). Tenjin has a very izakaya vibe in look (wooden tables, darker lighting, even a drumset in the corner) which gets punctured by the bright bubble tea menu (yes, you can get Cha Miao Miao bbt from here too). But we were here for the food and the promise of good torched sushi, so on to that. Overall, Tenjin has a good offering, taste and value wise. We got: - JUZZ torched tray: Enormous! For $49, you get 14 pieces of torched sushi, 2 torched signature rolls and 1 set of ozisushi. Great value! Quality of the torched stuff is also good, with my biggest complaint being there was soooo muuuuch rice on the sushi and rolls (to the point that we halved half of it off when eating the sushi and rolls). - Black Widow: Classic soft shell crab roll but with unagi sauce. Besides having too much rice, this was a definite yum! - Chicken Karaage: Tasty fry, with a great coating-to-meat ratio. Service was quick. Space was well decorated, enormous and clean. Great first showing by Tenjin, and will be interested to see how much more they improve as more people visit them. read more

This is the spiritual successor of Pearl Court, which used to be in the same premises (the sign is still there, even). They get 3.5 stars Beef XO sauce dry horfun had a good wok flavour & tasty sauce. The onions were very raw & there were only trace amounts of egg though. Clams with black bean sauce were decent. Fish maw & crab soup was pretty good; the fish maw was broken up & the "crab" was crab stick though (but that's no surprise). A small portion feeds 2 & large 10. Bean curd roll with pork: pretty good; the rolls were big & it was a big portion. The rolls were moist. Lotus rice with pork was moist & fragrant. Pan fried chive shrimp dumpling was a touch oily. It had too much chives; there should've been more shrimp. Still, it was decent. Fish stuffed eggplant was actually mostly shrimp. It was decent but a bit oily. The table vinegar here is red, not the usual black. read more

I'm going to go for 3 and 1/2 stars. Prices have risen again in such a short time. The dim sum could of been hotter. We got: Bean curd roll Crispy shrimp dumpling Stuffed eggplant & sticky rice in lotus leaf.(it used to be two for $6.99) now only one for $4.99. Portions are smaller and price going up. The biggest disappointment was the seafood/tofu hotpot ($19.50). It had absolutely no flavour. The tofu wasn't braised at all. It was thrown in as an after thought. They could really rename this dish bland tofu with some seafood. No Chinese broccoli or ginger/garlic taste. We've gone enough times since it's new owners and have seen a steady decline with the food. Go back to what you were doing at the beginning. Will try one more time and see if it's better. Attentive staff. Tea is now $1.50 per person. read more

Probably one of the better Chinese restaurants in old Chinatown. I ordered from this place recently to try and now it's my go-to. I would say the $65 two-lobster combo meal (that comes with two other dishes of your choice) is one of the standouts. The lobster option with onion and ginger is legit. Looking forward to more delicious meals from Dine and Dim! read more

Dine & Dim - Dim Sum Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Gorgeous updated interior since the old Pearl Court days. We ordered a bunch of dim sum and their lobster chow mein special. Most of the dim sum was good. The worst thing we tried was the dough fritter rice roll. The dough fritter was very soft and bread like and not fried and crispy. It also didn't come with sesame sauce. The lobster chow mein is a great deal at under $20, but only one order permitted per table. The service was mostly good, except for one rude server. Lastly, the larger tables that seat eight could really use a lazy Susan. read more

Decent crowd on a saturday night. We got the mu shu wraps with pork and the eggplant hot pot plus some dim sum. Okay flavour profile and absolutely huge portions so we ended up taking half of each dish home. Not the best place we have ever tried but decent for a bite. read more

I hadn't been to this place since the previous restaurant closed down. It's an interesting concept where they offer Chinese dishes on the first floor, and they have a separate Japanese place on the second floor and also their own in-house bubble tea. Definitely something that old Chinatown could use. The place certainly looks a lot more pleasant to dine at. We ordered a lobster set along with some mapo tofu and noodles. Large portions and tastes great. Between two people we had to pack it to go. read more

Dim sum is high quality and very fresh out of the kitchen. The best part is, it's all traditional dim sum preparation - no new wave or modern takes which is a very good thing. We also had the lobster fried noodles special (good deal for dine-in) - classic Cantonese preparation (ginger and onion). Only reason I don't give them 5 stars as it's somewhat pricey. Still recommend it highly if you're on the east side. read more

Had brunch there with a friend. Typical ambience of most Chinese places which is to say.. not much. But the food is very good. We ordered Dim Sum and an order of Cantonese Chow Mein. The dumplings were all good, as was the sticky rice. Would definitely eat there again. read more

Best hot and sour soup ever!!! We've been coming here for years and it never disappoints

I never actually step foot in the restaurant, although the photo suggests the restaurant is hip and clean. The food is so good! It's why I order from there almost every week. The dim sum is fantastic, and the sweet n' sour pork and lemon chicken are excellent. I also recommend the pineapple fried rice. It comes with an omelette on top. read more

Nice to have a newly reno'd dim sum place on the east end of the city;; in Old Chinatown. The crab claw was good, too! Will go back to try other menu items! :) read more

Clean, Quick service and great dim sum nestled in the East End. High quality dishes at fair prices.

Had the Typhoon double lobster with crispy garlic which was fantastic. Service fast, clean inside and great decor which is great to see in this area. Food is amazing and recommend formsome good Chinese food read more

What a cute place. This is a cool modernized dim sum place that also serves main Chinese dishes. We had a Malaysian noodle dish which was huge and yummy. The dim sum also tasted great. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. I will definitely come back. read more

Many years ago, a drunken stumble after an event landed a group of us at Dine and Dim. Back then, the place was open late and it was the best Dim Sum I had had in a while in the downtown core. Of course my judgement was impaired, and I could never remember exactly where the place was. Fast forward a few years later, and I found the place at the recommendation of a friend. Instantly, I recognized it to be the same place, and in a sober state of mind, ordered all the Dim Sum my little heart desired (and more). Sober me says this is some of the best high value Dim Sum in the city. Their massive and expertly hand prepared Hargow and Sui Mai are excellent - and very reasonably priced for downtown at roughly $5 per plate of 4. Don't get me wrong, it's not providing the same higher end experience as Crown Princess, or Lei Wah Heen by any stretch, but it's a good alternative to trekking to Markham where you can find $2-$4 plates during the week. What you'll find here is good food for pricing (compared to downtown spots). Highly recommend! read more

The music was loud with drum beat. We asked three times for staff to turn down music. Another patron agreed. Staff said that the owner would not let let do so. We couldn't talk so we won't be returning read more

The dim sum was not as flavourful as the last time I was there. The price, in some cases, was doubled, or the portion was much smaller. We paid over $30 each, and I was still hungry. Was it worth it--- no. Definitely not. We paid about $7 for one small envelope of sticky rice, which did't have enough flavour. I don't think I will be back. I think many of the traditional dim sum places are as good if not better, and less costly. read more

The food here is outstanding. Reasonable, fresh and great portions. This place was taken over and renovated. It was called Pearl Court previously. They've done an excellent job renovating. I think the food is better. read more

My hubby and I went here for dinner and got dim sum and lobster. Lobster mountain was really tasty. Dim sum quality was good and clean. Just don't order the calamari since it's too salty. Service is super nice and friendly. They'll be opening a second floor soon that will serve Japanese food. Will be back for that! read more

Our favourite Chinese restaurant by far. Love it that we can get a combination of dim sum and regular dishes. Everything is fresh and very well cooked. Restaurant itself is clean and cheery. We often just get takeout and go pick it up so they don't get dinged with the Uber charges, parking briefly on Gerrard and running in. Highly recommended. No specific dishes but we have enjoyed everything we have had. read more

I'd lean towards 3.5 stars overall. Wide variety of take-out dishes. I specified the allergy, but one of the dishes came dripping in an allergen, so not good. The cuts of the sashimi were quite generous. Nothing objectionable nor outstanding about the General Tao's chicken. Specified no utensils or napkins but they came just the same (check with the Grinch on that front). No complaints about quantities. The website could use work; we ordered one dish, but were charged for two of the same, which was entirely too much food. Delivery took a while to arrive. read more

Ordered delivery from here and was happy and surprised to have finally found really good Cantonese food in the east end!! This is my new go to spot for Chinese food. Everything I've ordered has been delicious and authentic. Favourites are salted fish and chicken fried rice, salt and pepper squid, beef ho fun noodles and beef tenderloin. No disappointments and I think the food is even better than when it was Pearl Court. read more

I have been here a couple times and I will definitely continue to come here. I love variety when I am out for a meal and this place really hits all the cravings! They have Chinese food, dimsum, and sushi. The quality of the food doesn't disappoint either. I am impressed at how much variety they have and still upkeep the quality of food. They even have a bubble tea menu for all the bubble tea lovers out there... and for the thirsty foodies, they also have an alcoholic beverage selection. The staff here are friendly and provide above and beyond customer service. 10/10 would recommend to everyone. read more

The food was way toooooooooo salty. This place doesn't even have hot mustard.. but you sell dim sum? Huh..?!? Get on that hot mustard!!!

A bit pricey but the food is good and a step up from surrounding restaurants. Will be back to try some other dishes

Affordable and great Dim Sum. My go to spot in the area. Been going since it was originally Pearl Court
