This is kind of a hidden place at the 3rd floor of the building in China Town. From downstairs you won’t feel anything like upstairs. Once you get into the restaurant, you will wonder where all these people came from! The dim sum is always excellent. The ladies pushing the dim sum carts are always eager to provide anything they have. Price is fine. A good place to go if you down to some good dim sum and don’t mind the crowds.
It was my first time going to an authentic Dim Sum restaurant where they push the carts around and you pick what you want for the carts. The dim sum was really good and we had a great dining experience there for sure, all the workers were really nice and friendly as well, they’d show me what they have in the steamers when I didn’t understand what dim sum they had.
Seriously best dim sum in North America. Better than any in NYC. Food is fast, tasty, piping hot. Portion sizes are just right. Feels just like Hong Kong decades ago when dim sum was still excellent.
NOTE: you walk into the building mall then turn left and you walk up the stairs. I LOVE HOW IT IS ALL DAY DIM SUM!!! The food was overall really good— I was impressed with how it looked like a regular dim sum spot but it was so beautiful and the food tasted great. The 麻婆豆腐、千層糕，皮蛋蘇，and 蝦煎餅 were all outstanding!! The only one that was pretty bad was the xiaolongbao/ pork dumpling. Usually xiaolongbao is supposed to be very wet and soupy inside but this was dry and it had NO FLAVOUr!? That is a signifier northern Chinese dish how can you not make it good?!?! But other then that the service is really nice, the servers are hardworking and are consistent with checking up with you. However some only speak Cantonese, and some speak Cantonese and English. So not all servers understand Mandarin…
It was already packed around 11am on Sunday but we were able to get seated right away. The portions of food were good but the cart barely got to us before they ran out of food. I was extremely happy to have soft tofu (豆花) in sugar sauce. I loved that it was very authentic.
Great DimSum and certainly a Chinatown experience. Nice mix of guests. The service was a bit messy and we never got our rice but the food was great and the atmosphere what we expected. The place in huge and I imagine it often has Chinese parties celebrating (as was the case when we visited) which adds to the friendly chaos. We enjoyed it and would certainly recommend to people looking for some “authentic” food.
Dim Sum King in Toronto offers decent but unremarkable food, accompanied by average service. While the restaurant proudly displays famous people who have dined there, the overall experience fails to impress.
