Lee Chen Asian Bistro

Went here for lunch since it was near the hotel.

Got a braised beef in egg noodle soup, plus gargle and Siu Mai. Not gonna lie, place was ok, and would probably choose another place since there is so many restaurants around.

Mott 32

This place was in our hotel, Shangri La, in Toronto.

Went here from happy hour (4pm to 6pm), which drinks and dim sum were half price.

We got one order of Hargreaves, and 1 order of some dumpling dish. Both were great.

For drinks doubled down on the Nashi (vodka based, and 2oz pour). Great choice.

FYI didn’t take either picture below.

Jing Fong

Went to this place for dinner in the upper west side.

Overall, great food. The domain (especially the Siu Mai) was excellent, and even the crispy Cantonese chow menu (got the vegetable one because a friend I was with is vegetarian).

The white food pictured below (some sort of rice noodle) was also great.

This place also had lychee martinis!

Harborview Restaurant & Bar

A really great dim sum place (you can’t tell by the name, but apparently the Chinese name is more representative). Quality of all the dishes we got was great (from the Siu mai and hargow to the fried rice and chow mein).

Definitely coming back here for dim sum / brunch.

Hong Kong Cafe

A great dim sum place in The Palazzo hotel.

Everything pictured below, except the soup filled dumplings, were really good. And price wise, not bad.

Dumpling Time

Great dim sum place that also serves beer on tap. I got my Asian beer of choice, Sapporo.

For ordering, we ordered the usuals (hargow, sui Mai), pork XLB (soup dumpling), pork gyoza, and a couple of other things (pictured below). Everything was great BUT the picture that has the straw with the giant dumpling (called the King Dum). I didn’t like it because of the effort to eat it.
