Ordered takeout on a Friday around 4:30pm. Got the sesame chicken combo plate which came with broccoli and Chicken Fried Rice. Also ordered BBQ Pork Buns off the dimsum menus. The fried rice and broccoli were okay, nothing special here. The sesame chicken was disappointing. The chicken portions were thin and it felt like it was refried. A lot of the sesame chicken. pieces were hard to chew. The BBQ pork buns were fantastic, nice and soft with a good pork filling. The filling was tender and wasn't overly sweet. I think if you're looking for dimsum this place should be fine, otherwise the Chinese-Canadian dishes are disappointing like every other restaurant in the Region.

UPDATE AS OF DEC 2023 Only one person cooking, waiting tables, and working the cash register. A single staff person for the entire restaurant! Messy tables that never got cleared. Waited 1 hour+ for our food. Cold dining room, heated only with a space heater. Waited 15 mins just to pay our bill. So sad to see a formerly great restaurant fall apart. Sadly, here is my original review, which no longer applies: "Authentic Chinese food & Dim Sum. Better than the typical 'Canadian style' Chinese food restaurant. Fresh, delicious, full of flavour. Restaurant interior is modest but comfortable. Good prices. Best Chinese food I've ever had in Waterloo Region."

IMPORTANT: Do not have any expectations for service. It's run by a husband/wife duo and the service is non-existent when it's busy, especially when they're both in the back of the kitchen. The dim sum was alright overall. Nothing amazing and nothing noteworthy either. We had: - Chive Shrimp Dumpling (OK) - Spare Ribs w/ Black Bean Sauce (NG wouldn't rec) - Sticky Rice w/ Treasures in Lotus Leaves (OK) - Shrimp Chang Fun (NG, wouldn't rec) - Tofu Chang Fun (NG, wouldn't rec) - Steamed Egg York Bun (Rec) - Bean Curd w/ Minced Shrimp (Rec) - Fried Taro Dumplings (OK) - Deep Friend Squid (NG, wouldn't rec)
