“ We came here for dim sum this time. A bit annoyed that we'd made a reservation but still ended up having to wait a good 15 minutes or so before we could get a table. Minor setback I suppose though as we generally do like this restaurant a lot and so we've been here multiple times and will probably end up here again in the future. There were a couple of dishes that weren't so stellar this time (egg tarts and sticky rice in banana leaf wrap), but everything else was awesome. Especially loved the pan fried rice rolls with soya sauce. Lots of "wok hei" flavor in it! There was also some kind of deep fried tofu dish with seaweed on it. That was quite different and very much enjoyed it too. Parking is free but somewhat limited as it's shared with other businesses in the plaza; however, there is also free parking on the street if you're not able to get a spot in the parking lot. Overall, a great place to come for dim sum. ”
“ Thanks to my friend for recommending Prince for Chinese new year dinner! Really enjoyed the food, service was on point too. Very attentive and quick to help us with our requests. Ambiance is that of any Chinese restaurant, busy, loud etc but very clean and nice! ”
“ Very clean and bright restaurant with typical Chinese restaurant tables large circular for family style and smaller for groups of 5 -. We ordered many dishes and moist were delicious. The deep fried Taro dumpling was nicely fried and tested good. The texture of the taro was smooth and the inner pork filling was curry flavored and good. The sui Mai was deliciously proper with the springy texture and flavor. The only thing was I'm used to the masago on top place after so it retains it's shiny orange color rather than the opaque dull cooked color it had from adding before steaming. Beef balls are ok, nothing special but got the job done. My usual favorite the bean curd roll wasn't my favorite here. It's usually served with a oyster/ soy sauce but this one is served in a creamy broth. It's flavor was slightly milky due to the broth and tasted ok.. but I like the original version better. The filling was correct and texture of everything was spot on other than the broth. The shrimp dumpling again standard and decent, peanut dumpling was spot on a I had a bad experience with that particular order in Victoria. The steamed egg bun was decent. The filling was creamy and not overly sweet. But I did find the bun slightly more dense/ doughy and I like. Chicken feet cooked nicely, gelatinous and tasty. Beef rice roll was ok, the rice roll was ok but nobody can beat a specialty plane that makes the rice roll delicately thin.. The fried radish cake again was ok, nicely fried and standard. The last dish the fried egg/ prawn rice noodles tasted good. Had a very good wok hei and an ok serving size. I've had larger portion with a few more prawns at other establishments with same good wok hei and price point. Overall the entire meal was delicious and service standard of Chinese places. Definitely decent food only draw back is the horrible parking situation. ”
“ Typical cantonese seafood restaurant focusing in lobster, king crab and other shell fishes. All dishes were amazingly well prepared, colourfully presented and out of this world taste. Service is very efficient albeit slow as the place is always packed solid. Reservation is prerequisite. Ambiance is very attractive as it has been redecorated recently. ”
“ 好吃的 菜品也不少 可惜没有雪山包了 鸭舌很好吃 猪手也不错 煎堆是流沙馅 糯米鸡凉了,不过里面有干海鲜比较香 野米肠粉一般 晚了周末要等位 不要站在外面等,不然叫到你听不见 ”
“ We came here for dim sum on a weekday and it was packed! The parking lot is tiny. Street parking may be better. Service was typical Chinese style - brusque and hurrying. We had about 12 dishes for 5 adults and a child. We struggled to finish everything but we did it. The food was good and the prices were in the $10-12 range for each dim sum dish. The days of $4-5 per basket are long gone. Nothing really stands out. The shrimp paste stuffed eggplant is the crowd favorite. As this is a busy place, the staff does try to get you to settle the bill quickly once food is gone. Not a place to chat over tea. No "yum cha" culture in this restaurant. ”
“ Pretty good dim sum place by Renfrew Station. Parking is available next to the building (2 lots). There is also street parking in the vicinity. The inside is quite large and actually looks pretty modern, with a classic Cantonese restaurant feel. Pricing is suprisingly reasonable at the time of writing, at $7-10 for most baskets. I can see why the place is packed. Quality is very decent too. Everything tasted fresh. I don't think I had a single bad item among the pile of dishes the bunch of us ordered. This will probably be one of my go-to dim sum places going forward. Recommended. ”
