First time I ate here it was 5/5 Last night... 1/5 All 4 dishes were awful. Not sure if its because I ordered takeout or if it just went downhill in a week. Safe to say we will not be returning. We unfortunately are throwing 80% of this food away. Inedible. Shanghai noodles were overcooked and had zero flavour. Ginger beef had very soggy breading. Pineapple beef was so effing revolting. The grey meat was brutal with a weird taste. Not like beef. The sauce in this dish is very bad tasting as well. At forst we were upset when we removed the lid to see there is barely any meat and we paid $20 for some pineapple and onion chunks. Once we tasted the meat, we no longer cared there wasn't much inthe dish. So gross. Chili wontons had zero spice, tasted sour compared to last time. Just a huge disappointment all around. What a waste of money. read more

This place has been here since I was a kid. Glad to see it's still here and I'm visiting again after 20+ years. All I remember was that I liked their hot and sour soup. Not really an authentic Szechuan restaurant. 30 years ago, most chinese cuisines were cooked by hong kongers or south chinese people. So, most of these dishes are going to be a southern take on it. Hot and sour soup - price is awesome. $11 enough for at least 6 bowls. Souo base is missing a bit of flavor but it is jam packed with ingredients. Drunken chicken - it was ok. Little on the salty side. Shanghainese pan fried pork buns - these were probably the worst I've had. Not made in house and not properly pan fried. No juice, super dry, no fried bottom crust. Bean curd wrapped pork dim sum - surprisingly this came out last. At least 20 min has passed. This is a steamed dish but it came out with dried edges like it was sitting on a dry heater. Taste was ok. Mapo tofu - asked for extra spicy and extra numbing. Numbing was there but nowhere near real szechuan numbing. Was not spicy at all. Sauce was more oily than saucey. The price point reflects the quality. Things are either mediocre or a complete miss. Would come again to try only the better stuff. Staff was friendly. Came to try to refill the tea way more times than normal. The iron goddess tea tastes much better than a lot of dim sum places elsewhere. read more

Grew up eating here so this place has been here for at least 25 years. I haven't been since the pandemic. Now going back, food quality is about the same. Lunch specials are still around $15. Small stir fry type thing with rice and soup. I've always liked their green beans and also their ginger beef. I enjoy their hot and sour soup as well. The only thing is when we had the wonton soup this time, the wontons were lukewarm. Will take some pics next time read more

Have been coming to this establishment on and off for almost 17 years and their food is perhaps the beat chinese food in the tri-cities area... This time around ordered Chicken Sweet Corn Soup, Steamed Pork Dumplings and Pork Chop Tan-Tan Noodles.. Each item was delicious but the flavor of Tan-Tan noodles with Peanuts was absolutely stellar.. The person who served me was VERY kind and attentive, helped recommend what to try and came around several times to check if I was enjoying the food... They have a special dinner menu which I wasn't able to try so really looking forward to coming back here soon.. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! Great Food, Kind People and Good Ambience... read more

Wah Wing Restaurant - Pork Chop Tan-Tan Noodle with Chicken Sweet Corn Soup and Pork Dumplings - Chinese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

My lady's birthday yesterday, and her chosen venue for lunch. At our table, the "birthday girl" (at the young age of '92'), son, daughter, and me. We arrived at the restaurant just before their opening time of 11 am, and were especially excited to be there to celebrate Mom's big 'day'!! Everything at the restaurant looked and sounded as before -- pretty, decorative, and quiet. Along with friendly staff, and their warm greetings at arrival, and throughout our stay. Using the 'main' menu to order, here is what 'we' decided upon: - soup (starter): wonton soup, small bowl, divided into four smaller bowls. - dim sum: steamed green dumplings -- steamed chicken feet in black bean sauce. - entrees: steamed veggies -- deep fried spicy squid -- house special chow mein -- sweet & sour boneless pork -- bean curd (tofu) & Chinese mushroom. dessert: restaurant provided mango pudding ("cake"), in honour of Mom's birthday). A nice spread of offerings. We all contributed to the ordering, and based on the result, sure did well. Food presentations were so visually appetizing -- preparations outstanding, dishes so distinctly, and highly-flavourful, and tasty. A fine venue, and very nicely-prepared lunch. A fun and much-enjoyed time to honour a special lady, and celebrate her 'day'!! read more

I'd give a 0/zero star if I could. Didnt even get to sit down and the judgements and rudeness started. Girl at door had to go ask if any tables available for 2 walkins. We've never had to make reservations and didn't know we could or should. She went to the woman at the pay station, they both peered around the till, looked me up and down, went behind the till and then looked out at me again and lady from the front comes over and says nope, you can come tomorrow. Im like what?! Stunned and not sure what to say. I said no one is here, we are, whats the problem? She said no, no,no can't, nope,cant reserved .... then she physically leaned around me and started speaking to the new person that came in the door. Like i never existed. Unbelievable to be treated like a piece of crap on the floor. Never have I been treated so bad and felt less than as a human being. Never ever will we go there ever again. And I will tell everyone i know how they treat people. Like i wasnt their race, their ideal customer. DISGUSTING behavior!!!!! read more

Has been awhile since the last time I have dim summed. Have lived in the area for awhile, it never has dawned to us to dine here. We walked passed this place so often, it never looked too inviting, could be the blinds were always drawn? A very discrete small front entrance stood before us. We were not sure what to expect. Inside looks to be a familiar Chinese/HK styled restaurant in Lower Mainland. We arrived at the open 10:30am, not sure what their popularity is like for weekend dim sum, wanted to avoid any type of holiday "hostilities". Turns out we were the first guests and dined alone for 1/2 hour before any other guests arrived. We were given a traditional menu, not the typical order forms you get at other dim sum places. They gave us jasmine tea without asking what type of tea we preferred assuming we don't have any preference. Strange, could it be we were speaking English? As later Chinese speaking guests were given a choice of teas. The menu have 4 variety of dim sum- HK, southern (Szechuan), Shanghai and northern Beijing? We ordered a few items from each regions. We found their HK style to be the most authentic. Other regions were not bad. Overall the dim sum was priced fairly, the HK style was their best. Other regional offerings were alright. This is an interesting place to dim sum especially for those new to this dining experience; gives an opportunity to try a variety to decide what style they like best. read more

In the limited Dim Sum scene of Coquitlam Wah Wing offers a wide regional variety of dim sum covering both Northern (heavier carbs, thicker and bigger everything) and Southern variety (saltier, thin and delicate, smaller everything). This explains the lengthy and at times confusing dim sum menu as similar dishes show up more than once (such as Pan Fried Green Onion Pancake/Pastry). Be sure to ask the server to confirm if the specific item is what you are looking for. We ended up with super thick slab of green onion pastry when we wanted the thin pancake style. Having ordered from both northern and southern dim sum menu, Wah Wing fares better in the Southern dishes (steam spare ribs, prawn steam dumpling, shiu Mai etc). Dough-based buns, pancakes, dumplings of Northerners seem to be too thick and will likely disappoint most Chinese customers. Ambience wise this little restaurant rocks a 70's Scarface club joint type of pinkish lighting and cheesy mirrors based off by security fence with no views to outside or daylight, which makes food dining experience subpar as food colors cannot be rendered correctly without daylight. Staff are friendly and efficient. Most are Cantonese speaking but can handle basic mandarin. If you are English speaking they won't give you a choice of tea (Jasmine by default). If you want good Northern dim sum, there is Legend House in Coquitlam Central. Grand Palace at Henderson malls offers much fiber southern dim sum. So WAH Wing has a lot of competition to overcome to regain award status of 2012. In general I prefer fewer dishes that are well executed rather than being the jack of all trades but nothing to be desired. It's worth at least one try. read more

Came back here jonsing so bad for more of this amazing chinese food. The spicy fried squid is simply the best I have ever had anywhere in canada or the US AND I have had it in China town in LA and in vancouver/richomnd and Toronto, not to mention about every town In between. The Service here is amazing and so well done these folks are very good and very attentive. Overall the food in my opinion pretty much beats anywhere else. Love taking this home nom nom nom for left overs! read more

Not often I go to Pt Coquitlam for Chinese food, this is one reliable place I would visit at least once a year, they serve both Northern & Southern Chinese food; one thing I really like is their version of Hot & Sour Noodles just brings back old memories! Their Dim Sum is also very good and can take down a few similar places in Richmond! So when you are in the neighbourhood do give Wing Wah a try you won't regret! read more

I am posting this because I've had people reach out and share similar experiences that encourage me to post this because this type of behaviour is from their entire kitchen staff of 40 something year old men. If you're dining here, know that this is something they may bring you as a surprise as it's not on their menu. It is not a surprise most people want at a full family gathering so here is a fair warning. They have removed my review from Google but I don't understand why since they were adamant that this was "fun" and they have done it many times before. Anything you serve a paying diner is fair to review, photograph and post. https://www.reddit.com/r/vancouver/comments/vssevq/restaurant_serves_me_penis_shaped_birthday/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf read more

Wah Wing Restaurant - This is a photo of what they brought me and my entire family as a desert form their kitchen: a penis shaped dessert. - Chinese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

Wah Wing is our favorite restaurant in Port Coquitlam. We have lots of family dinners at the restaurant. They have great service, dim sum and a great menu to choose from. I recommend this restaurant to all my friends Shirley B read more

Family BIRTHDAY celebration for seven (2 young ones 10 and 13 ) last evening was as good as it gets. Value is extraordinary @ less than CDN $20 a head, considering quality / flavour / portion size. What sets Wah Wing apart from the rest though, is the hospitality experience. Nothing is too hard. Easy going and attentive servers. Hard working PROFESSIONAL kitchen pumping out QUALITY tasty delicious food for nearly full restaurant. Prompt & competent service. Tidy clean venue. Booking the reservation by telephone was easy. On time, seated immediately. 8 different selections: Lettuce wrap (sangchoi bau) through CRISPY chicken (Jah ji Guy) were served in a nice comfortable procession, seated 'in the round'.... a comfortable starched white linen covered table. Ginger Beef chosen as 'dish of the day', but my fave was the dau miu (greens) bean leaves. ALL were DE LISH. Tea refills on the money. Water for those who requested. Hot chili oil condiment made in house. Prompt bussing of table unobtrusively, they were THERE when needed without asking. Presented and served our special birthday cake (made by Maxims) after savouries were eaten and leftovers packaged up to take away. Can't remember when we've enjoyed a dining out experience as much as this one. Our thanks for spoiling us on the Happy Family occasion. Bravo, Wah Wing management and staff. Highest recommendations. 5 stars. read more

Worst service and no food! We ordered delivery and were told 45 minutes. Almost 2 hours later we called and were told the driver had decided to return to the restaurant...despite speaking with them and confirming the address. When we called to see what happened they were BEYOND RUDE to us... Despite the fact that we'd been waiting 2 hours and no food. read more

First I would like to sincerely apologize for my horrible photo. I am still learning and trying my best to take good food pictures I was in a rush and did not take my time as I was out with my friends and family!! We ordered more food but they came later and I didn't want to be rude and take pictures so again I sincerely apologize!! We ordered 蝦餃，雪菜肉絲湯麵，肉絲炒麵 & 皮蛋瘦肉粥. I really like this restaurant as I come here a lot and I grew up going to this restaurant I don't have much to say other than that I really recommend this restaurant so be sure to try this restaurant out before you die oh and one more thing: the restaurant doesn't look really boujee on the outside but it's a good place to go to as it looks pretty nice and expensive looking inside :) well sort of. read more

Wah Wing Restaurant - 咸栥飯 & 擔擔麵 - Chinese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

I was craving some Chinese food and wanted to try a new place so I decided to give Wah Wing a go. The restaurant is located inside the Westwood Centre strip mall with tons of free parking. On this visit I ordered the Vegetarian Spring Rolls, General Tso's Chicken, Sweet & Sour Pork, Assorted Deluxe Vegetables and the House Special Fried Rice. The Spring Rolls were fresh and tasty, the Generals Chicken had the perfect amount of spice and was my personal favourite item of the meal, the pork was your typical sweet & sour pork, the vegetables were cooked perfectly however I think I got the bottom of the barrel because there wasn't much variety or colour on the veggie plate, the rice was cooked perfect, I wasn't expecting shrimp in the House rice but it was good. The service was good, the decor was on par with other Chinese food restaurants in the area. If I'm ever in need of some American style Chinese food I will definitely return. read more

Picked up some to-go here after work and to be honest was really not that impressed. Not to say my expectations were too high to begin with but for the price paid the food was mediocre at best. I ordered two separate orders of veggie and pork spring rolls, seafood chow mien, spicy deep fried squid, and shrimp dumplings. The item my husband and I agreed was the best was the veggie spring roll. Everything else was alright but the saving grace was the atmosphere at the restaurant. It's a small quiet place but service was great. You're greeted by the host who guides you to either your seat or to the front counter for pick ups. Overall I don't think I'd return for dinner but maybe for dim sum in the morning since I work around the area. read more

I'm generally quite forgiving when it comes to dim sum, but the offering at this place is beyond my comprehension. All sorts of dumplings are wrapped in thick flourful dough. The taro duck roll is dreadfully surprising - duck feet and chunks of unseasoned taro wrapped in bean curds. How are these supposed be eaten? read more

Wah Wing Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

Bad Chinese food in all aspects. Everything tasted like sugar and soy. Ginger beef was unedible. 20 dollars? Rice was 12 dollars on website. 15 dollars on bill. Horrible customer care. They don't care. Don't support this disgusting Chinese restaurant. Will never order from them again. Garbage! read more

This has been our favourite Chinese restaurant for years! We've since moved to another city, but anytime we want Chinese we're driving out to Wah Wing. The staf our super friendly as well! the food is delicious and always fresh! read more

Wah Wing Restaurant - Dai Ching chicken - Chinese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

We have been visiting this restaurant for 24 years. We are sad to say that they are no longer serving Szechuan food Cooking is blah Hot and sour soup had no spirit Our favorite prawn and black bean sauce had a totally different and unpleasant taste and was smothered with partially cooked onions. The dim sum seafood seemed stiff and hard as if it had just come out of a freezer. All in all our worst experience. We will not be back. read more

I have successfully eaten a delicious meal from this establishment twice, once as delivery and just last night, dine in. So both times the food was terrific, but as I had previously suspected, the seated meal at the restaurant was much better. Never mind that I both times, I ordered WAY too much food...luckily, leftovers from here make for a great lunch! The service from the wait staff was basically impeccable; polite, friendly, answering menu questions with ease, suggestions and even friendly chatter. I loved that (finally!) someone could accurately tell me the difference between regular Steamed Dumplings and Shanghai Style Steamed Dumplings, the latter being shaped as a pot sticker rather than the rounded one. I know, makes me sound like a total rookie. The wait staff were dressed way better than I was and the décor inside is a little dated (hello pink neon ceiling highlights bulb!) but just fancy enough with the crisp white table clothes. I'm really into the seafood here, in particular the Salt & Pepper Prawns (eaten both times). The Sliced Pork with Garlic, Pepper and Cabbage was the definite highlight of last night dinner, just piping hot when served at the table, perfect. If you like noodle dishes, the have mostly Chow Mein, my suggestion is to get the soft pan noodle instead of the fried. Like most Szechuan style cuisine, the place has tons of dishes suitable for Vegetarians and most likely Vegans as well. I truly look forward to eating here again. read more

Yea just great dim sums. Probably some of the best I've ever had. They were juicy on the inside and the dough on the outside was strong yet soft. Really recommend the green ones! read more

The food is ok, but nothing really stands out as really good. Although, I only ordered standard "Caucasian" Chinese food; my son was more adventurous with their dim sum and was really pleased. One thing that really stood out as amazing was the service! I would come here just for the service! The wait staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I recommend giving them a shot! read more

I have a passive relationship with this restaurant. The soups and appetizers here are quite good, however I really wasn't a fan of the dry seafood chow mein = it had an extremely thick glossy substance around it (MSG?!?). Wah Wing does have some of the best Ginger beef I've had, but there is a lot of unnecessary garnish in this $16 plate. The service was very good during my recent visit, Staff were hospitable and patient while we decided on what to order. The menu is definitely pricy, on it's way to $$$ if you ask me. read more

Great Chinese food here. The staff are nice and the prices are great too. Great variety. Definitely recommend this spot.

I have always been a fan of Wah Wing, but after this evening's experience I'm beginning to question my loyalties. Called for a delivery order at 9:15 (their menu explicitly says last delivery order accepted 30 minutes before close - which is 10!) and was told they are only accepting pick-up orders. Great for them if the dining room is so busy that they can turn away delivery customers almost an hour before close, but it means I likely won't be returning to spend my hard-earned money there any time soon. read more

In these parts of town this place reigns supreme in the Szechuan category! Great lunch specials too read more

Wah Wing Restaurant - Chinese Near Me - Port Coquitlam, British Columbia

Thank you yelp for helping us find a good asian restaurant out in the tricities other than Hon's. It is one cuisine that we always have trouble finding out in the hood, so when we crave it we have no idea where else to go until now. Between 4 of us we shared the beef and broccoli, spicy tofu, green beans, breaded lemon chicken, chow mien and spring rolls. I would say I enjoyed everything but I probably wouldn't order the breaded lemon chicken again. Good meal shared with friends. I want to go back and try more dishes. Yum!! read more

Wah Wing is located in Coquitlam on Lougheed Highway and Westwood. Since Kirin Coquitlam closed its doors back in October 2011, there has been a serious lack of dim sum choices. Wah Wing is hardly new and has been around forever and the place has have its up and downs in terms of quality and presentation. Nonetheless, sometimes you just don't feel like driving far for a bite or you feel that you would give a place another go. Wah Wing is decently sized, well light, and clean. Service is friendly and prompt. Cuisine: Chinese, Szechuan, Chinese Price/Entrée: $10-20 Out of 5... (1: Don't bother -- 5: Excellent) Food: 3 Service: 3.5 Ambiance: 3.5 Overall: 3.5 I'm always on a quest to find the best XLB (Xiao Long Bao) - Steamed Soup Dumplings. The dumpling skin needs to be thin. The XLB needs to be juicy (consisting of a nice broth) and not dry. The meat inside should be fresh and well seasoned. Unfortunately the XLB here were pretty sub par. The skin was thick and doughy. The soup was oily and dumpling itself was rather dry. On the special lunch menu: Chinese Mustard Green $5.95 Well portioned, seasoned and stir fried with garlic. I'm glad to see that the veggies were not overcooked. Soy Sauce Braised Fish Jaw $7.95 Tasty soy taste that is not too salty. Slightly sweet and braised with onions and black pepper Stir Fried Sticky Rice $7.95 A great dish for colder weathers. Pretty standard with lots of diced Chinese mushrooms, Chinese Sausage . Potstickers Similar to the XLB, the skin was towards the thick and doughy side. The meat well seasoned and pleasantly fried to a golden color. Eggplant, Scallops and Tofu in Chili, Sour and Garlic Sauce $19.95 Part of the Chef's recommendation menu, this clay pot dish was deliciously cooked. The sauce soaks the eggplant, scallops and tofu and shredded bamboo and garlic gives more texture. But I think the winner is definitely the sauce, without the strong tasting spice and garlic, this pot would be rather bland. Pan Friend Soy Noodles One of my favourite dishes especially paired with Congee at Tai Hing Congee (click) in Richmond On other occasions I would order Dry Braised String Beans. Blanched in oil then stir fried, the beans are slightly crunchy and well seasoned with dried shrimp and Chinese mushrooms. Braised Sliced Fish in Chili Sauce Juicy fish slices but slightly heavy on vinegar. I would prefer Lucky Gate's ( click ). Free Parking Lunch specials Dim Sum Sticky Rice (weekends only) Sweet / Salty Soy Milk (weekends only) Other dim sum items are pretty standard. While this place does not earn full marks across the board, on occasion we will still come here due to the close proximity to home. read more

My husband said "I would rate it a 5-star because a 6-star is not an option". For a year we have been looking for an authentic and amazing Chinese food restaurant. Today, we found it. Not only that, but my husband claims this to be the best "any" food restaurant in Coquitlam and Poco. We've eaten at pretty much every single one. Being our first time here, we asked for recommendations are were very kindly helped. My husband took the recommendation of General Tso's Chicken, and I wanted noodles so I took the recommendation of Singapore Style Fried Vermicelli. Neither of us wanted to share with each other because our meals were AMAZING. We also had dim sum, both the shrimp dumplings (loaded with huge whole prawns) and some pork shrimp type thing, which was also killer. I have to say we are excited to try each and every dish on this menu because the quality, quantity, and price are perfect. Oh yes, if you ask for hot sauce, you get this amazing wonderful little bowl of oil/chillies/and garlic essence oil. I could drink it. read more

Some of the best chinese food we've had for a long time. The service is truly as good as it gets... the waiters are unbelievably attentive and sincere. John and Tommy are exceptional. The restaurant is well appointed in the interior - we were pleasantly surprised. I'd go back any time. read more

This place has become my favourite dim sum restaurant in bc, thanks to some delicious meals that never seem to dip in quality, even though I ya e been visiting this place for the last 5 years. Service is fantastic, everyone gets to know you and treats you like family when you come here. I have yet to be disappointed with the food or service at this establishment. If you are trying to get into the dim sum lifestyle I can't give enough positive feedback about this place, give it a shot and you won't regret it!! read more

OMG I can't believe I've never been here before their food is good and reasonably priced - Kirin is fancy but can be pricey at times Wah wing isn't cheap, but it's not expensive either their lunch specials are good - and all their menu tastes good no matter what you get, you'll leave happy and full :) after coming here, I'm never going back to Hon's again - their food quality has been declining over the years read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. Been coming here for 8 years for dim sum (which our family affectionately calls "dimmy"). The staff never disappoint and they always say hello to familiar faces and make us feel so welcome. A lot of the staff are long term so they must get treated well. Get the steamed green dumplings. And then get them deep fried. And make sure you get the chili oil. read more

Prompt service, tasty food, classic decor, good value, we will be coming back! Upon arrival, we were unsure of the place, with its reflective store-front and worn down signage. It was a shock when we opened the double doors. Behold! It's always a good sign of authenticity when you walk in the door and see Chinese-style furniture, seafood tanks (lobsters and crabs), and a small "temple" with old incense. Waiters all spoke fluent Cantonese and English and menus displayed both languages. All of the dim sum dishes we ordered were at or above expectations. Each dish was ~$4.50 (I can't remember if there were different prices for each): Shrimp (crystal) dumplings - stuffed with shrimp Siu mai Spring rolls - fresh out of the fryer Pan-fried turnip cake Chicken feet in black bean sauce Lotus-wrapped rice Xiaoleng bao - classic Also a lunch combo - stir-fried veggies with rice and wonton soup for $8.50. Was fine, but I'm not a fan of cooked water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, or min-corn, so I will get a different dish next time. For 3 adults and 2 kids under 3, total bill was $45. Service was excellent. High chairs and booster seats available. They even brought out some kid-friendly dishes and utensils for the littles. Finished dishes were promptly cleared away and food that arrived was fresh and piping hot. I'm already looking forward to our next visit! This review is not 5-star because it's not a high-end 5-star restaurant. As in, this is not at the top of a revolving restaurant in say, Hong Kong. read more

We have eaten in this restaurant before and always had superb food. Tonight we decided to order take out food from WAH WING because of our previous experience with them. However, the food that arrived was substandard. It arrived so quickly, within 20 minutes of ordering, which would usually be a benefit however the food was lukewarm and tasted like cardboard. The rice was sticky and tasteless, the lemon breaded chicken was more like more like a hint of chicken with a very thin piece of chicken and lots of coating that tasted heavily of old oil. Our chow mein arrived almost cool which suggests that it was not made fresh. The sweet and sourPork had so much vinegar that it wafted up our nose. I thought it was fair that we phoned to let them know of our disappointment and that we would not be ordering from them in the future. read more

I believe there are three conditions to decide the reputation of the restaurant. First is the taste; this is quite personal and I like the taste of 'Wah Wing' chef. Second is the atmosphere; the restaurant is clean and refined. The fabric table cloths especially is a good addition to the place. Third, the service. The waiters are cordial and exhibit professionalism. These points all together has left a good impression on me. read more

I don't know about 4 stars but I don't know about 3 stars either. This place definitely made a great 3.5 star first impression on us this morning. Don't be scared by the exterior. While it looks like the perfect shady place where shady people conduct shady business, it's like a whole new world inside. In fact, it looks like a perfectly respectable mid-end Chinese restaurant smack in the middle of Richmond (except in Port Coquitlam). Servers are nicely dressed in proper ties and vests. The interior and bathrooms were sparkling clean and you don`t encounter slippery floor issues like you would in less well-kept Asian restaurants. Oh, and we didn`t find communication issues with the servers. While most of the patrons were traditionally Cantonese/Chinese, there was a huge gathering of Caucasian people enjoying their dimsum. Always a good sign when a restaurant can cater to everyone! Dimsum was a small but decent selection. Here's an overview of what we had: Beancurd wrap with meats (prawn, pork/chicken) - hit the spot. Nicely wrapped, beautifully cooked. Just the right amount of sweet and savory. Congee with scallops and century egg - ordered off the top of my head and not in the menu. Fresh, good sized portions of scallops and eggs but the congee broth could be more flavourful. It was bland compared to Kwong Tung but then again the latter place is known for congee. A great find for sick lil future me; no more driving all the way to main street for congee! Bbq pork bun - Insanely good. Fresh pillowy steamed white dough and ample pork filling. I loved seeing diced bbq pork inside instead of non-descript, congealed goo. Definitely made with a lot of attention and the flavours proved it. The last time I had a pork bun this good, I was standing on an unknown street in Beijing, from a street hawker. It was a thing of beauty. Shanghainese pork buns, also known as XLB - this one was a complete fail. They need to do this better or take it off their menu. Hard, chewy dough. No broth inside. Something tells me folks around this area have burned their tongue not knowing how to eat this properly, hence the adapted version. Not good. Mango pudding - just make this a must-order in every dimsum place. Fresh and lightly sweet. I'm glad I finally found you! Will be back to sample dinner for sure. read more
