Dai Tung

My favourite dim sum place. I don't visit often because it's kind of not really around anything and is out of the way. Not much parking either. It's been years since I've been but last I was there, they still did that oldish fashion pushing a cart around thing. Not a lot of places do that anymore and I quote enjoyed being able to come here to have something closer to the authentic experience.

We were craving egg tofu, so we stopped by Dai Tung for dinner. We ordered the braised egg tofu with dried scallops which also come with gai lan and the egg white and scallop fried rice.  The egg tofu was so good! The tofu is nice and soft, and they put a ton of sauce on it. The gai lan was also delicious, a nice compliment to the tofu. The fried rice had a ton of flavour, a little bit oily but that helped enhance the dish in our opinion. Super simple with just egg white, scallops and green onions but it works so well!<br/ <br/ Service was decent, we would have given a 4 but prices are a little bit on the expensive side. We will be back when we crave the egg tofu though.

Excellent dim sum. A little bit hard to find, but you 'll manage. They lost a point for not having the traditional dim sum carts in spite of being a big restaurant inside, but the food is good and the mustard served with the dim sum is nice and hot. They have a couple of neat ideas, such as what I like to call a 'Chinese hotdog ', which is a Chinese sausage wrapped in a sweet bun. Delicious.

This is my local and I love the food and service and it is my regular place. I do miss the traditional carts though. Be warned they don't take credit cards.

Would I recommend it? Yes, I would. The average price per dish is about $7.00 so expect the bill to be expensive. Each person is charged 99 cents for tea. Bring cash or debit during dim sum cause they won’t accept a credit card. But the food is good, it’s good traditional dim sum. Try their tapioca pudding as a dessert if you go.
