This authentic Chinese restaurant at Yonge and Steeles has been there since I was born. I grew up eating Dim Sum with its original owners under a different name. They specialize in "seafood", but I long ago selected my favourite dishes.
The restaurant has been recently made-over, but is still very casual. A Chinese friend (JL) was impressed with the quality of the food and the restaurant, and a significant proportion of diners are usually Asian.
It was JT's first time at a Chinese restaurant, and ordered a rice dish (and was not enthused). My sweet and sour chicken with pineapple (it comes in a pineapple!) is the best in the city! (JL ordered a terrifying chicken dish I wouldn't even know what to call).
My (non-Asian) family recommends:
- hot and sour soup (I dilute the spice with more sweet and sour sauce, or water)
- sweet and sour chicken
- chicken in a phoenix nest
- BBQ pork slices
- Mu Shu lettuce wraps
- Sizzling Beef
Dim Sum:
- har gow
- shrimp chow fun (my grandmother LOVES the bbq pork chow fun)
- shesh a bow
- deep fried eggplant with shrimp
- ginger squid
- pork spare ribs in a hot pot
Price: less than sushi (expect to spend $12/person for lunch, and more or less for dinner depending on how many dishes you order, each dish is about $15, but enough to share with a family of four)
