Taotaoju — Restaurant in Guangzhou City

IT IS NOT LOCATED HERE! It is located 2 malls away – Grandview mall, which is a 5-10mins walk away. However, I think it's a franchise stall, so you don't necessarily have to visit this outlet.

Visited the place on the 6th floor, South-East segment in Grandview mall. Arrived at 12 noon and had queued for 1.5H, with 40 tables infront of me. However, the wait was worth every single second.

Hands down, the best dim sum I have ever had in my life. The food was very affordable – Could easily stuffed a family of 4 in under 80 USD. The portion were very generous in quality – You could easily spot 3 shrimps within 1 Har Gao. It's a MUST MUST visit for a good meal of dim sum!...

Beautifully decorated restaurant, wide variety of dishes for selection, they serves dim sum too. We went there for dinner though. The soon hock was really fresh and delicious. The other dishes especially the claypot kai lan was tasty too. However, service wise can be improved. For eg they took a long time to serve the rice and water, only after repeated reminders. They still continued to serve the desserts though the table was already full, and need to be reminded to clear the empty plates before serving the desserts. Nice food though. Will be back if back in...

I wouldn't say this is a bakery.

This is a highly rated dim sum joint and while some are great, it's not Michelin level by any means ( full disclosure I don't think Tim Ho Wan is Michelin level either), dishes are generally made well but none are exceptional or unique.

It's also a little inconsistent. When getting taro spare ribs at one location which was seasoned well, going to another later had underseasoned ribs.

Good for the price and is a good as a detour, but not a destination. Luckily there are so many branches/locations you won't have...
