HmmNot sure how/why I came hereShouldn't listened to my gut when I walked in.

Don't come after noon - they won't be pushing the cart around (you will have to order instead,) some items will be unavailable, and the wait staff will be

We were walking in the Chinatown area looking for Dim Sum. We were stopped by a sidewalk street sign noting dim sum. This restaurant is located on the second floor so you will up stairs. The restaurant is spacious and not really a fancy place. I did see large groups dined here. We sat by the window and a friendly waitress took our dim sum order. That’s what great about this place is the dim sum is by order so it’s made fresh. To my surprise, the dim sum portion orders are huge like it is on steroids! The dim sum here is very delicious. I came here another night for dinner, and the food was average. We learned that the majority of the best Chinese restaurants are located in Richmond, so if you have the time, take a trip into that town. This is a great place for dim sum if you happen to be in the Chinatown area.

I took my son and his girlfriend there for Dim Sum and they were both very skeptical because Chinatown in Vancouver is not the cleanest place. My sons girlfriend is from Monterrey, Mexico and she said she has never seen anything like Hastings street (which Chinatown is adjoined to) with all the druggies and homeless people I have to say I was kind of embarrassed even though I don't live in Vancouver. Anyway the restaurant was pretty nasty, the windows had so many hand marks on them you could barely see out, they had cheap plastic on the tables and all I can say is I'll never darken their doors again!
