Best Dim sum restaurant in Canada

k	kchowa on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My grandmother use to come here to buy their BBQ pork buns. It was the best to my memory of the take-home and steam variety that rivals restaurant quality. Came today to check out the new changes. Take out was not available yet. Large selection of frozen dimsum. Bought a large variety of buns and dimsum. Highlights, shrimp dumpling Har gao definitely restaurant quality. The BBQ pork buns are on point. There's the small and large size which is good for snack sizes. I would definitely come back to come support this Chinatown classic store. I went in the morning and it was not very busy. I can imagine now that there's cooked food that it can get busy. One added value thing that I noticed and appreciated. They add a quick instruction on rough time it takes to steam the item on the label which doesn't always happen with other brands.
I	I sometimes consume food on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place sells frozen dim sum. But they also sell hot & ready dim sum in case you don't want to reheat it yourself. I only got the siu mai and har gow because I'm a dim sum normie with the tastes of a peasant, but it's quite good. It's the best frozen dim sum you could get. Of course other places' fresh dim sum is better, but it's not fair to compare reheated frozen dim sum to freshly made dim sum. So make sure your expectations are in line with what the actual product is! Otherwise you might be a bit underwhelmed. But the gist of it is, if you want some frozen dim sum to make for breakfast, but want higher quality then T&T, this is the place to go ?✌️ I didn't try anything else on their menu (e.g. Rice rolls or buns) so I can't speak about those.
S	Scrumptious Foodie on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nothing beats having dim sum in the comfort of our own home during this unprecedented times. I really miss enjoying dim sum with my extended family at a restaurant. Hopefully we can do this soon ? We like the variety of their dim sum platter ($8.50): • Ha Gow Shrimp Dumpling 蝦餃 • Siu Mai Pork and Shrimp Dumpling 燒賣 • Beef Meatballs 牛肉丸 • Golden Shrimp Pork and Corn Dumpling 粟米鮮蝦黃金球 We also had their mini Lotus Rice Wrap 珍珠雞 ($5.50 for 3) with one of our fav Taiwanese chili oil.
M	Michael S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little place to grab dim sum or pork bun to eat-in or take home a pack for your freezer. We walked 1+km from the central area of Vancouver (Burroughs Station) to Chinatown. Don't do this. It's best to drive - parking was all around and easy. What did Vancouver let happen to this area?
M	Mel Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Their frozen dim sum is hit and miss here. The good: - the jumbo har gao's are excellent and just as good or better than some restaurants. This has been sold out a couple of times when I've gone - some of the bao's are quite good and I'm fond of the lotus one in particular - the prices are reasonable The bad: - the pork shu mai is awful. I get that it's pork and it's fatty but I've bought them a couple times (thought the 1st time was just a bad batch) and after steaming, all of the saturated fat just pools between the meat and the skin so when you try to pick it up, the skin falls off and a whole lot of grease will fall all over the steamer or your plate. If you like eating soggy shu mai wrap separately from the meat, go ahead.
E	Evan Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the perfect place to stop for a quick bite to eat - tasty food and fast service at the counter. I recommend going here for a casual and quick lunch or snack. I have been to a lot of the other "fancy" dim sum places in Vancouver and so far the siu mai here has been the best.
J	Jessica Cochran on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This dim sum restaurant and shop is top knotch. We popped in for lunch and ordered soup, mushroom dim sum, and bbq pork buns - they were the best buns we've had for a while! Like other reviews said, the food is quality and all nicely handmade onsite. They have lots of options including a few vegetarian / vegan for takeout or dine-in.
M	M Ping on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mainly came for frozen shrimp dumplings. even though it's frozen it taste better compared to some of the other brand you get at like T&T. This is the perfect place to pick up your dim sum to store in the freezer for the odd times you crave dim sum at home. They also have lots of hot dim sum.The curd roll was a bit on the salty side.
