There has been a Chinese restaurant here for as long as I can remember. It has changed names or hands over the decades, but the food and prices have always been good. It is located at East 1st Ave and Renfrew, not your normal touristy...area. However, lots of local Chinese live nearby and the mall has many Chinese shops including a T&T Market. For dim sum, squeeze yourself through the line up to put your name on the list and get a number and then wait to be called. For dim sum, there are no reservations and you can expect to wait 15-30 minutes, especially on weekends. They will take reservations for dinner. I have also been here for large banquets. It is very busy and noisy with local Chinese especially for dim sum. The tables are jammed close together, covered with a decent table cloth which guests will get dirty with spilled tea and food. Every thing gets cleaned and replaced by the staff between guests. The managers walk around in their black suits dealing with diners and the wait staff are no nonsense and always hustling. The food is traditional Cantonese. No surprises, no disappointments. The har gow shrimp dumplings and other dim sum are very large. All the dishes are hot and delicious and tastes as they should. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. The locals are usually pleased, and so should you.
