Very mediocre. Huge pieces of dim sum. While some might like this- I felt it was too much. It…read moredidn't seem natural for dim sum to be so massive. The point is to be able to try many diff items at a time. But if there too big you get full and or don't feel like eating any more. Quality wasn't that good either. They used the same basic filling of shrimp paste and pork for many dishes so it all kinda tastes the same. The rice sheet rolls were ok and the sauted garlic pea sprouts dish was good. Staff were polite and efficient. They were actually really busy so many people do like it and it's just me?? Maybe give it a try for yourself.

First time here. Came to try the Dumplings and the Beef Noodle…read more The Dumplings were pretty good but not as impressive as my Chinese neighbour makes them but thats my bias. The Beef Noodle soup was ok but not as flavourful as Red Beef for example. It lacked a bit of kick. The meat was a little too soft for my taste but its very personal. I did see some other very interesting dishes so I will be back to try those and give a better verdict. Service was good and its a very big place despite what it looks like on the outside.

Amazing dumpling spot and very affordable. We brought our family of 5 on a random BC trip night…read more Our kids love Xiao Long Bao (XLB). We ate what would normally be a $100-$125 US meal for under $80 US. It was awesome. We got so much food - it was ridiculous. We ate quite a bit and saved the rest for leftovers. The servers were super nice and sweet. Very family friendly. We found our new go-to spot in Vancouver, B.C. Also, if you give it a little time the parking isn't too bad. Dinasty also stays open a little later than most restaurants in town, making this a viable option when in a pinch for food but running late in the day. Will absolutely go back next time in town. Thanks for having us. Comparable to Dough Zone or Din Tai Fung, somewhere right in between with quality and cost. Everything was yummy.

Absolute BEST dim sum I've had yet. Made to order, the food was hot, juicy, and tasted just right…read more Not greasy or oily, just pure juiciness. We tried to go to other places around town for dim sum but others were too busy or only took reservations. I'm so glad we ended up here. Portions are huge so be careful when ordering! We ordered a lot and ended up having plenty to take home after. 12/10 recommend this place for delicious dim sum!

Then we got the second duck dish, which paired nicely with the first, it was good with the lettuce wraps. We also got scallops and shrimp with greens. It was very delicious and nicely plated. Then came the fried rice with shrimp and bbq pork. My favorite. It was so declious. Then the sweet and sour pork with lychee. It was so good. I love the sweetness of the lychee, very different but would totally recommend. I love the entrance to this place too it has a little fountain, perfect for a good photo-op. And this place is massive great for larger parties.

Was able to try more dishes since we came as a larger group. Everything was great. Service is also top notch. Staff is very professional and attentive. Highly recommend calling in advance and making a reservation. Seems like if you walk in and don't have one, you're taking a chance - especially during the busy lunch time. Worth a visit if you're in town - plan ahead!

Get all your baos and buns here! Nice and fresh and cash only…read more You can either dine in or do takeout but be aware that the process is different for both. For dine in, you get seated and order and will be served tea. Prices are ever so slightly higher but not enough to really notice. Takeout, you order at the front and off you go. Anyway, I'm a huge fan of steamed bbq pork buns so imagine my absolute adoration when we got a huge steamed bbq pork bun here. It's the size of my face. Fluffy bun and savory bbq pork without the red food coloring, what more could you want? Mango pudding was also a nice touch. Refreshing and not too sweet so it's a great dessert to finish off whatever meal you were having or just as a standalone snack. While New Town Bakery isn't exactly new, it's a tried and true spot for delicious buns and baos!

Dependable spot to get frozen dim sum, and there's a selection of items you can eat on-site…read more My friend ordered a few frozen bags of dim sum, including pork and shrimp dumplings - these dumplings were chock full of flavor, and absolutely worth it. Went back the next day and ordered dishes to stay. Got a one-two punch of (1) pork siu mai and (2) fish bean curd roll. They were pretty good, and I paid with a credit card. (I wasn't hungry enough to get three items, but I'll return for their turnip cake.) No frills interior. Friendly service, at least to me!
