The individual New Century slow boiled soup is hardest to share but secure some empty bowls and you can divide the hefty portion. In the winter, there's a silkiness to the piping hot consommé that sooths a dry throat and has an umami essence infused with abalone, ginseng, and pork. There's plenty to choose from in the house signature combo platter including roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork, pork slices, and seaweed salad. Saving my stomach for the later dishes, I had a taste of the duck (a good start with crispy skin) and BBQ pork (satisfactory and well flavoured). With the generous portion of chicken in the combo platter, the slow cooked chicken with abalone broth seemed like overkill. I've never been a huge fan of this dish that's served cold since I prefer chicken hot. Still, I understand it's the jelly layer between the skin and meat that people enjoy. And to be fair, the chicken was tender, and New Century certainly didn't skimp on the ginger and scallion oil. For those who tend to fill-up before the "main dishes", the stars of the combo arrive mid-meal. The stir-fried Vancouver crabs with silver fish in HK style spicy sauce needs to be eaten at arrival as the crunchy coating is best straight from the fryer. And despite not looking spicy, the dish has a light heat that permeates in the background. Additionally, the crab was fresh and meaty, cooked well so it remained delicately flakey. The amount of sweet and sticky sauce used in the stir-fried lobsters with scallion in Maggie sauce was well balanced, lightly covering the crustaceans. Both lobsters were substantial; even after eating many pieces, we still had plenty of leftovers. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.

We came in and ordered quite a few dishes to share, and I have to say -- I was genuinely impressed. I usually find some dishes stand out while others are just okay, but here we enjoyed almost everything we tried. The portions are huge, so it's perfect if you're coming with family or a group of friends. They have all-day dim sum, which is such a plus because it's much easier when you're planning around kids. The vibe is a nice mix of traditional Chinese cuisine with a more modern restaurant feel. It's comfortable, spacious, and they have highchairs and booster seats available for little ones. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's in an older Toronto area, but there is paid parking nearby and streetcar access is convenient. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're craving dim sum and want a family-friendly option!

Food (2.75/5) - extensive selection of 50 or so dim sum items to choose from. - Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings) - pretty standard dish and was fine. - Cheung Fun (Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll) - was pretty weak. The umami soy sauce lacked flavour and the roll was a bit chalky. - Beef Short Ribs - were not good at all. Lots of gristle, bone and fat with little meat. Lacking flavour as well. - Baked Egg Tarts - average overall... not flaky enough and bit dry... custard filling was average. Service (3.5/5) - they were pretty quick with getting the order but was average turnaround on getting the order. Direct to the point order, bill, etc. which is common with these places. Atmosphere (3.75/5) - fair amount of tables and the overall decor and furnishings are fine and not aged. Overall (3.25/5) - an option if you are looking for an all day dimsum place off-times however found the food disappointing and will not repeat.

Items that I got this visit: - har gow shrimp dumplings: overall pretty good, but the wrapper was a bit thicker than I expected. Would prefer a thinning dumpling wrapper - chicken feet: excellent, very tender and flavor was great - tofu skin wrap in abalone sauce: pretty good, the meat inside was lean and well balanced with the veggies - spare ribs in black bean sauce: this was a bit of a disappointment. The ribs were a bit tough and also underseasoned. It could have used some more salt and some extra cook time. Service was fine, nothing special. The restaurant overall was pretty nice and modern. I hope to come back sometime and try some other dishes.

Steamed Pork Siu Mai w/ Shrimp, Steamed Red Rice Rolls Wrapped w/ Rice Paper & Assorted Diced Seafood, Baked Honey BBQ Pork Puff Pastry, and Steamed Lava Salty Egg Yolk Buns for dessert. The winner was definitely the Steamed Red Rice Rolls Wrapped w/ Rice Paper & Assorted Diced Seafood as I have never tried anything like this before. The fried crunch inside the rice roll held up really well, combined with the diced seafood inside made for an amazing dish. The Steamed Lava Salty Egg Yolk Buns was a runner up as I generally love this dish and this place did it well. The service was also pretty decent, despite how busy the place was. The vibe could feel stressful at times, but I guess that is to be expected at a busy dimsum place like this.

The shrimp dumplings were huge and the wrapper was quite good (not too thick). The BBQ pork buns had a crumbly texture, and the noodle rolls were soft and silky. We opted to skip the soup dumplings (xiao long bao) as my parents could tell they don't prepare these in-house. Overall, a decent spot for cheap quality dimsum.

The restrooms are extremely nice, resembling that of hotels. Honestly this has been the best chinese spot I've dined at, the only complaint I would have is that there is not an LA location.

Service was great, and so was the food. They offer quite authentic Chinese dishes alongside some more Westernized Chinese options.

The one downside -- the menu offers a staggering 200-ish dishes, so be ready to make a decision. But this is definitely a place worth visiting in St. Catharines.
