Today, tried a newly renovated place for lunch (dim sum), let me tell you this, it was a real…read moredisappointment. When they provided with a table it was right next to an exterior door, with people going in and out. The was a cold draft, we even had to tell the hostess/manager, if they could provide a divider to divert the draft from hitting our table. We ordered 9 dim sum dishes, one be Roasted Pig Mixed Cold Jellyfish, which was $23.80. I had the idea that it would be a fair portion. When it came, I was shocked, it was only 6 pieces of Roasted Pig. When I spoke with the manager about the portion size, he commented "for that price it is fair". There was not apologies and walked away, nor was it written on the menu. If I had known it was only 6 pieces (size of your index and middle finger put together). I would not have ordered it. If you want to have Roasted Pig, you can get better deals else where. Also, ordered Marinated Chicken Feet for $13.98, when it came to table, it was also a disappointment, part of the chicken feet was dark in colour, not even sure if it was even edible or not. Another dim sum dish that I have order was the steamed chicken with fish maw. The chicken was okay, but there was only two small pieces of fish maw, (the size of each piece was 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch). The order 6 dim sum dishes that was order was mediocre, tasted better from other Dim Sum restaurant. When I received the bill for the meal it came out to be $119.50, they even had included the tip. They didn't even give me an option weather a tip was even worthy. I will definitely not be returning to this place. I definitely do not recommend anyone to come to this restaurant. I would consider blacklisting this restaurant. It's simply deceiving customers. 今天去一家新裝修的點心店吃午飯，真是太失望了。他們為我們安排的桌子緊鄰外門，進進出出的人絡繹不絕。冷風直吹，我們甚至得跟領位員/經理說能不能加個隔板擋風。我們點了九道點心，其中一道是烤乳豬配涼拌海蜇，價格是23.8美元。我以為分量應該挺足的。結果端上來的時候，我大吃一驚，烤乳豬隻有六塊！我跟經理說了分量的問題，他居然說「這個價錢算合理」。他既沒有道歉，也沒有在菜單上寫明，就直接走開了。如果我知道只有六塊（大概食指和中指並排那麼大），我肯定不會點這道菜。想吃烤乳豬的話，去別的地方一定能找到更划算的。我還點了13.98美元醃漬的雞爪，端上來後也很失望，雞爪有一部分顏色發黑，我甚至懷疑它能不能吃。我點的另一道點心是魚肚蒸雞，雞肉還可以，但是魚肚只有兩小塊（每塊只有半英寸見方）。我點的這六道點心味道平平，不如其他點心店的好吃。結帳時，帳單竟然高達119.50美元，還包含了小費。他們甚至都沒問我是否該給小費。我絕對不會再來這家店了。我絕對不推薦任何人來這家餐廳。我會考慮把這家餐廳封鎖。他們簡直就是在欺騙顧客。

New Century will feed a large group. Their lobster, Dungeness crab, and sea bass combo for eight…read more($798) would satisfy ten or twelve. 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.

Steam One Cafe is a relatively new place in Brooklin offering Chinese Dim Sum. I went there…read morerecently with a foodie friend and her family to try their offerings. We ordered some of the popular dim sum fare, including Har Gow, Siu Mai, Bean Curd Rolls, Spare Ribs with Black Beans, Soup Dumplings, and BBQ Pork Puff Pastry. The best value though, would have to be the Steam One Dim Sum Combo, with six different pieces, a perfect sampling. Not everything was perfect though, with good and not so good... Good * The food was decent, with good flavours. * It's the only place in the area serving dim sum. * They offer everything frozen to take home. * Nice simple decor. Not So Good * Portions are a bit on the small side. * Prices are higher than Scarborough or Markham. * Food is cooked/warmed to order, hence slow. This place is a decent option for people living in the area and craving dim sum. I live closer to restaurants offering better, less expensive dim sum with more choices so that's a better option for me.

New dim sum spot in Durham! Authentic taste, friendly staff…read more This new spot popped up on my Instagram and after a few message exchanges to confirm their authenticity, we went for a visit today. The outside is a dump, hole in the wall kind of spot, but don't be fooled, they cleaned it up nice inside. It is a cozy space, so reservations are recommended for peak times. Also plus, free parking. The menu is small compared to larger restaurants in Markham, but for the location and clientele, it is perfect for those wanting a taste of authentic HK dim sum and first timers to try something new. Dual sided with English and Chinese menu. Also, to add to the authentic experience, the staff also speak Chinese. That may not amount to much, but that made it more wholesome for me. Price is on par with other dim sum prices these days. They also have the same selection of food in the freezers available for you to buy to eat at home. I got a bunch of our favourites from our lunch. We had a good time here and will be returning soon!

I felt optimistic walking into this place initially, the decor was welcoming and it looked clean…read more That's about as far as it went. We were brought to a table that was just being reset, and when asked to switch to a larger table, they had no issue with it. We asked for pu-erh and tieguanyin tea for the table; they brought us two pots of tieguanyin. Relatively easy fix but when we asked for pu-erh they almost brought us heung-pin. The wait staff was okay, most were pleasant. A few didn't look very happy to be there, maybe they were bored, it wasn't busy. I did find it was somewhat difficult to get their attention when we were looking for someone. Some of the food was served hot (dry fried beef noodle, glutinous meat dumpling) but unfortunately most of the food was warm, at best. The beef noodle was actually very tasty, and probably the best item we had. Sadly, the part that really leaves me uneasy is their fish tank. Three out of the four tanks were empty with green algae, with a dead fish at the bottom of the fourth. The optics really don't serve the restaurant in a positive way whatsoever. Honestly speaking, I lost my appetite once I realized what I saw.

The food was good, as expected like a typical Chinese dinner. The portions were decent and the food had good flavour. It didn't wow but hit the spot. They don't have complimentary soup but we ordered their daily soup and it was reasonable priced. The highlight was the complimentary dessert which included a sweet potato sago, mango jello and almond cookies. The service was very good though. They were so attentive and quick to action. I believe this is the same owner as Yumi Legend.

Really impressed with this restaurant that, despite its humble strip mall location, goes beyond…read moreexpectations in terms of flavor and menu creativity. There are a lot of Canadian/American-Chinese dishes on the menu but it goes beyond that and has things that I'm guessing are more authentic to China and a few fusion dishes also. I was particular impressed by the soft pepper noodle with beef or chicken. I had it with beef and it has a fantastic black pepper flavor and luscious thick noodles with just enough vegetables to give some texture. I'm including a photograph from mid-meal. It might not be beautiful but it's a stand out dish in flavor. One item to skip... The fried wontons. While ours were very crispy (and hot), the predominant flavor was fryer oil and the tiny (truly tiny) bits of ground pork in the wontons didn't help. Also, check out the combination plates if you want some of this and some of that instead a lot of one thing. They are near the back of the menu and are NEAR the lunch only plates but the combination plates are in fact available at night.

Actually some decent authentic tasting, non-touristy food in a really touristy town…read more Food tasted legit, and it tasted like some of the Chinese food we're accustomed to where I'm from in the SF Bay Area. The service was on the slow side, though. Also, the owners all there barely speak any English. Be ready to have Google translate out ready. Never had an AYCE dim sum before, but this was really good. Avoid the fried stuff if you don't want to get full very quick. Shoutout to feedmeimei on YT I'm pretty sure she's going to see this review when she and her team is researching places for her Toronto/Niagara Falls video. You have an awesome channel and I've been a big fan for awhile!

Top-tier dim sum in Mississauga! There honestly aren't many dim sum spots in the area that compare,…read moreso it's definitely worth checking out without having to drive far. They have a big tablet at the front for the waitlist. There's a waiting area by the fish tanks (around the corner, behind the wall), plus some stools up front. The stools are not comfy and it gets pretty cold near the entrance with people constantly coming in and out so try to get a seat more inside. Service was great, especially for dim sum. There were lots of staff on the floor, always moving and attentive. My favorite dish was their specialty BBQ pork bao. It's a classic char siu bao topped with a sweet, crumbly pineapple (bolo) bun crust. SO good. Easily a must-order! Our cheung fun came out much later than the rest of our dishes and honestly felt like it had been sitting out. It was a bit disappointing since the whole experience was positive. Overall, I'm really happy with this spot and can't wait to come back to try more of the menu!

We came here an hour or so before closing and they were still serving their Peking duck deal, definately look through the menu for the $98 duck set (enough for four people). We were specifically here for the duck and the service was fast and great. We ordered other items to enjoy as well and the portions were large, a fried rice, a veggie mushroom dish, and a pork belly dish. The duck took some time to prepare so we enjoyed the other dishes. The tableside duck cutting was very impressive and worth the trip for anyone who has never had Peking duck. They have a floor manager explain each of the steps and also how best to enjoy the duck. You also get the duck bones, etc. to take home when you are done. It makes for great duck stock. They serve 24 pancakes for this combo and that was filling. It is recommended to have a tea, the chrysanthemum is a great choice to help cut the fatiness from the duck skin. Tea is an extra $5 but not too much and you can ask for refills. For the overall price and amount of food and food quality, it's pretty good and compatible with eating out at most places nowadays. Highly recommended and much closer than the Markham location. Will be bringing other friends and family in future to enjoy.

Also, they replaced my plate which had bones. A sight never seen at dim sum. Everyone smiled and was very polite. But The food, the food was just average, average at best Nothing spectacular however not horrible. Food deserves 2 stars The topper is the price. I came at 9:30 am and there was no special price for small, medium and large. It was all menu priced. That's a first for my dim sum experiences. 1 star for price And 3 stars all together, that's already very generous. I would caution a recommendation as I won't be back ever again

Service: Friendly but not very attentive. We had some of our 'test' dishes, the ones we use to compare. Mapo Tofu. 2/5. The tofu was fresh. The pork was very sparse and it was over thickened. It was almost jelly. Let's just say, it was like when you have a cold. Beef rice noodle with black bean sauce. 4/5. This dish had a good 'wok hei' flavour. This dish was also over thickened. The prices are reasonable especially for these days. If they can ease up on the corn starch/thickener, it could be much better. I will give this place another try.
