Take Sun was the best Dim Sum in London. Their Cantonese dishes were superb. Connie & Peter decided…read moreto retire pursuant to COVID & the road construction ergo, the restaurant is now closed. We moved to BC 20 years ago and prior to that were frequent customers for 25 years. The city never paid any attention to the businesses while approving the extensive road construction. Since our recent return we see London is a city in utter DECAY and will never return to its original form. Downtown Dundas street is diseased so no one wants to go there. Forget about new Dim Sum restaurants opening as that will NEVER happen. We are sorry to come back to garbage dump. We wish Connie & Peter the best & a long life is retirement. Imagine,,, Kitchener has 4 Dim Sum restaurants.

Best Dim Sum in London (Hong ping coming in at second place). The reason why this place takes over…read moreHong Ping is because they offer all day Dim Sum. They are also always very consistent with the quality of Dim Sum they offer and affordable pricing. The other places usually sacrifice one for the other but Tak Sun checks off all the boxes for perfect Dim Sum. *Recommendations* Things to order but not limited to: chive kaw, shrimp har kaw, tak sun special bun. Other Dim Sum regulars: bbq pork bun, spare ribs, pork siu mai etc. *Atmosphere* It's got an old Chinese restaurant feel to it. Decor definitely has a 90s feel to it and I don't mind it at all because for those that grew up going to Chinese restaurants with this type of decor can associate it with many good memories. *conclusion* If you are looking for quality Dim Sum in London, look no further this is your spot. If you've had Dim Sum in Toronto or the GTA, this place would be the equivalent to those places but cheaper. As for the regular menu I cannot say much as I've not had enough on it to make an adequate review. From what I have eatin though (like the Cantonese style sweet & sour pork) it's amazing. A follow up review will be made regarding the regular menu. Oh ya the service is awesome, if you get the lady she is really funny and recommends dishes that are tasty. The young man is helpful as well if you get him, they are both fantastic at explaining the dishes. I've attached the Dim Sum menu*

Came here for dim sum with the fam. Service was typical of a Chinese dim sum restaurant especially…read morewith how busy it was in there. The food was actually really good, I'd say the best dim sum I've had in kw (though I haven't yet tried king tin so I will have to try it next), but not very special (I better leave these visits for when I'm craving and can't make it to toronto). The reason I couldn't give them more than three stars is because some of the food items were not as expected (calamari was body, battered, and fried as opposed to large seasoned tentacles, turnip cake was too doughy, chicken feet was too soft at the bone), they charge for tea and hot sauce, and they are missing a lot of what I'd consider dim sum essentials. I always need mustard with my dim sum. That wasabi/horseradish/Dijon flavour is one of the things I look forward to when I go for dim sum. This was a huge disappointment. They were also missing deep fried taro balls with pork (oh well, the spring rolls will have to do and they were actually quite tasty), and the preserved egg congee. All in all, food was authentic but I'm still searching for better in kw

Our server was friendly and enthusiastic as she brought dish after dish, never leaving us short of tea or napkins. She even gave us extra dessert as my father and I really liked it. There's a handful of parking spots outside, not much though. Great for family and friends, lots of seating inside. Good for groups of 2-8. This is one of the most affordable Chinese restaurants I've found, it's super affordable and for 7 people, our bill came to about $250.

By the way, since TAK SUN closed, there is not one DIM SUM restaurant in London, Ontario. Uncle Sing on Adelaide is a joke & Congee Chan on Wonderland Rd. North hs very good food but their DIM SUM is very mediocre at best and the selection is limited.

We ordered from Macau because we had ordered from there before and they seemed like a safe bet. However... When we got our order we were eating our soups and apps before the mains when my wife asked "What is this?" after cutting open her spring roll to add sauce. What she proceeded to pull out of the roll were four long, thin, pieces of plastic. Ok. We called the restaurant to complain only to be told the manager wouldn't be in for half an hour and would we call back. So we moved on to the mains. The only thing not overcooked was the rice. The chicken was overdone and the noodles were crispy/overdone/burnt. When I called back I was told the manager was not only not in, she would be off for the next two days. I told them that unless I was contacted this evening, I would be contacting the Middlesex Health Unit. Eventually, maybe an hour later, the manager called. As to the plastic, it was a 'mistake' and for the rest 'the noodles are always crispy'. Long story short, not only was I told that I would not be refunded my money or given a credit in kind but that the only thing they would offer me was Dinner for Two. Yeah good luck with that.

I did a lot of googling and was slightly skeptical of Sam's kitchen because of the reviews however I decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. When you first enter the establishment, it looks quaint and typical for a Chinese restaurant. There were maybe 12 tables and at noon on a Sunday, we did not have to wait. We were promptly seated and asked about what kind of tea we liked. They speak both Cantonese and mandarin - the ladies were the sweetest! Very attentive ( at least one of them was) and we got our food very quickly. Our order: Har gow - the skin was perfectly thin. When you pick it up, make sure you let it cool slightly or else you break the skin before you pick it up. The shrimp were amazing! They were juicy and had a very good bounce to it - a sign that it's perfectly fresh and cooked Siu mai - pork bases finished with fish row on top. Juicy. Soft. Meaty. Absolutely satisfying when you're craving for it. Shrimp spring rolls - it was served with a plum sauce? Didn't taste the sauce, but the shrimp was on point. My only complaint is that the spring roll wrapper was a bit too thick. Fried tentacles - fried, not pan fried like your typical dim sum places in toronto. It was tender and flavorful. Not too greasy. But rather the batter was light and squid was fried to a very nice golden brown. BBQ pork steamed buns - bread bun was sweet, fluffy and perfect. Not a lot of filling but it was good. Sweet bbq pork filling, not a lot of gravy. Slightly different from toronto dimsum places where the ratio of meat and bun is a little over half. But the bun was perfectly steamed. Chiu chow fun go - peanuts and meat wrapped up in a crystal shell. Typically served with chili oil, they gave me chili sauce when I asked for it. The skin was very thick... surprising because their skin on the har gow was perfect. Dough fritter rice roll - ok. I LOVED this. Dough fritters were freshly fried. It had an amazing crunch wrapped with the soft rice roll and covered in the sweet soy. They didn't give us the usual peanut sauce and hoisin, but I don't typically dip it anyway so not something I missed. Eat this when it comes to your table. If you leave it, the dough fritter, like all friend foods covered in sauce, will get soggy. Well done! Fried taro dumpling - I wasn't sure about this one when I ordered it. Everywhere I've gone it's never fresh / fried enough until the center is hot. However they do it pretty good. The center was hot. That's a plus. It was crisp and not greasy... another plus. But a lot more taro than meat filling and gravy inside. It is a little on the heavier side but I love taro. If you don't like taro, this would be like... a slightly more flavorful potato croquette with a pork filling. Lotus wrapped sticky rice * didn't eat.. we were too full Egg tart - umm. When it came, it looked good. The egg mixture was a nice deep yellow glossy color, a little different from regular egg tarts. The pastry is a flake pastry. I wouldn't necessarily order this again. The egg mixture is more gelatinous and deviates from the eggy light goodness that egg tarts are typically. But the pastry was good. We ate almost 10 dishes... had tea... and it came to about $50 with leftovers. Ok, we did order quite a bit but it's really so that we can figure out if we would be coming back or not. They do their shrimp right. Most of the food that came in were good. It's not Markham standards but pretty on par with Cameron's at a fraction of the price. Service was great! I would definitely go again as my go to dim sum place in kw to try everything else. They accept credit and cash - I had assumed it was cash only which is a plus. Parking is slightly limited.
