Our favourites were the rice rolls (shrimp, beef, and chinese donut), eggplant with shrimp, and chicken feet. We were pleasantly surprised with the egg tarts, which came out fresh, crispy and warm. One gripe I had was with the bean curd roll with mushroom and pork, which we ordered for someone with a seafood allergy. We ordered this twice and the first time there were no issues, but the second one came with shrimp inside. This was most likely an accident as the one we ordered isn't supposed to contain shrimp, but there is another one on the menu that does. The mango pudding also tasted a bit strange and had a weird texture compared to other dimsum places. Overall, we had a good time here, and would come back for their dimsum and rice rolls.

If you are craving for dim sum but hate the crowd, you must check out 852 Kitchen…read more The tastes were definitely authentic and portion sizes were generous. The black truffle siu mai and shrimp dumplings had plenty of filling and were seasoned wonderfully. The HK style beef balls were bouncy and velvety smooth on the palate and the accompanying water chestnuts and cilantro accenting the meatiness to another level. We also had a great time baking the pineapple buns. From proofing to baking, it was exhilarating to watch the dough rise and their instructions were super easy to follow. Definitely the perfect breakfast item.

Yum! We tried there Lo Bak Go for Lunar New Year and it tasted great being not too salty and had a…read more"homemade" aspect to it. There were chunks of radish instead of shreds and not too much pork sausage but the smattering of scallops and dried shrimp on top added a nice chew. There is quite a bit of rice flour in this cake (compared to our usual favourite), but it did not eat greasy or too heavy. The Frozen Dim Sum though, is some of the best make at home dim sum my family has had! The quality of the meat is stellar and the flavours are authentic. We really liked how we could try their combos to get a taste of what we liked and we will surely be back to get our favourites!

Tasty Chinese (mostly Sichuan style) restaurant at the NW corner of Lougheed and Willingdon…read more Parking here is available but pretty horrendous outside of business hours. There are maybe 15 spots total for 4 separate food establishments. In addition, there are no free spots in the vicinity at all. For this reason, I have tried and failed to eat at this place for several years. Finally had a chance to try during lunchtime. The best option is probably to get here by transit. The place is decently sized. Staff are friendly. Can watch them crank away at the dumpling factory. Bit of entertainment when waiting for their food. The lunch special here is great value. Comes with soup too. The sichuan marbled pork & cabbage hit the spot. That tastyy Sichuan chili pepper taste. Beautiful. There is also an option for the thick (blade) noodles with no extra charge, which is a nice perk. The quantity was huge. I left stuffed and happy. I also looked at the neighbouring tables, and their non lunch items were also huge. Special mention. Definitely trying more of their food in their future. Just be mindful of their parking situation.

Finally got a chance to try this place after a few decades. Still remember when it was Dragon Inn…read more The place was packed late at night, which is always a good sign. Parking is available but limited in the lot in front. Better to look along Kingsway, or in the side streets behind the restaurant. I found it hilarious that the lot specifically prohibits parking for Tina Cake next door. Guess that must've been a problem over the years. The inside is plain and quite dated (old school). Looks like something out of the 1980s. Awesome. Staff are friendly and helpful. No complaints. Everything hit the spot in terms of authentic Cantonese. I had the stir fried beef with black pepper sauce, Hainan style chicken, and sweet and sour pork. Everything tasted great. Portion sizes are decent, and prices are quite reasonable. As the dishes are shared, it is best to come in groups (at least 3-4) so more dishes can be ordered. Looks like I've found my go-to for late night Cantonese food. Recommended.

Had such a great dim sum experience at Lee Garden!…read more The service was amazing from start to finish: everyone was so friendly, attentive and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. We ordered the squab, tendon, chive and prawn, and duck feet, congee, and some other innards lol and everything was delicious. The flavours were really well done and each dish had its own thing going for it. The tendon was cooked so succulently and was probably one of my favourites soooo tender and full of flavour. The chive and prawn was also really fresh and tasty, and the duck feet were nicely cooked. The atmosphere had such good vibes -- lively, warm and bustling in that classic dim sum way. It felt like a great place to sit down, share a bunch of dishes and enjoy a meal together. Overall, amazing service, delicious food and great vibes. We left really happy and satisfied, and I'd definitely come back to try more of their dim sum

Tastier higher end Cantonese restaurant on Kingsway, near Gilley…read more Parking is available in the lot behind the building, as well as the side streets. There are also metered spots along Kingsway. The place is on the more upscale side. Definitely a suitable venue for events such as weddings. In fact, there was one being held when my friends and I went to eat. Staff are friendly and professional. No complaints. Dishes are typical of other Cantonese seafood restaurants. One thing I really liked about this place is that they don't just down the food in sauce. Diced chicken with cashew - good flavour and nice mix of ingredients. Cashews added a nice crunch. Sweet & sour pork - once again, nice mix of ingredients. Food wasn't served in a pool of sauce. Special mention. Seafood fried rice - nice and fluffy, and not greasy. Great flavour. For dessert, they offered complimentary almond cookies and red bean dessert. Both were tasty. Red bean dessert wasn't overly sweet, which is nice. Pricing is definitely more than the casual places. Portions are also a bit smaller. This reflects the nicer atmosphere. Overall a good place to enjoy a good meal if one needs to impress.

The chicken was exceptionally fresh and tender, practically melting in your mouth while still piping hot. The shrimp was equally delicious and full of flavor. Service (5/5): Outstanding.

There are fish tanks with live fish and lobsters floating around, and ordering is done the old-school way on a paper slip where you mark the quantity you want. I love that everything comes out fresh and is handed to you table-side. What really stood out here was the portion size. The shui mai, har gow, and char siu bao were all much larger than I expected, so my friends and I played it safe and still ended up with way too much food. Not a bad problem to have, but definitely come hungry. The service was also better than what I've experienced at a lot of dim sum places, which made the whole meal even more enjoyable. Solid traditional dim sum with generous portions and a nice hustle.

Very good dim sum!…read more Ordered: Siu Mai: Excellent. Comes with five (!!) pieces and was succulent and juicy, topped with fish roe. Cha siu bao: Average. The meat was not lean enough but the flavor was standard. Egg tart: Excellent. The egg custard was much less sweet than I was accustomed to but was pleasant. The pastry portion was light and crispy. Shrimp and chive dumpling: Good. Packed with chives and shrimp with a light garlic flavor. Seared on both sides. Salt and pepper squid: Excellent. Easily the standout of the meal and was garnished with garlic and peppers! Ambiance was loud as usual for a dim sum restaurant. Service was quick attentive but I was disappointed that there was no house made chili. Overall a very decent dim sum experience.

Stopped by as we were visiting from out of town and had friends recommend HK BBQ Master…read more The restaurant is nothing flashy. It is small and quaint with some of the smaller combined tables having plastic dividers separating the diners. I appreciated that the establishment has a clear process of operations for take out and dine in. The team is efficient in their service and ability to turn tables so we were seated pretty quickly. We tried the BBQ pork, roasted pork, soya chicken and BBQ duck. BBQ Pork - was standard and pretty good. However, I've definitely had better elsewhere in regard to flavor and crispiness. Roasted Pork - I really enjoyed this as it was moist, savory, and not overtly sweet. Soya Chicken - was ok... kind of dry. BBQ Duck - was ok as well. Definitely be sure to order the pieces without the bones. I opted for them to give me whatever pieces and ended up with barely any meat. Overall, it was good, but not anything extraordinarily amazing. FYI - they are a cash only establishment. We were not aware but luckily there is a grocery store on the second floor of the building with an ATM machine.

We decided to get the combo for 2 that was ~$43 which included the daily soup, half hainan chicken + 2 sides of rice, another dish which we chose the braised tofu and vegetables and the daily dessert. We also ordered the stir fried flat noodles with beef. For 3 people this was alot of food and we had tons of leftovers! The hainan chicken was so juicy and flavourful and the rice that they cook in the chicken stock is amazing. The braised tofu was so juicy and the bok choy paired with it had a nice crunch. The flat noodles with beef was so good too and not super greasy. I definitely want to return to try different items on the menu.
