    We got the lobster meal for 2 which is more for 4. Added snow peas. Very yummy authentic Cantonese food!!

    We were in Toronto, so we had to check out some dim sum spots. I searched on Yelp and this place had good reviews. I'm not sure if they had parking in the building, but we parked at a nearby Green P parking and walked over. Service was excellent and the workers all spoke Cantonese. They were impressed by my Cantonese speaking skills, especially since I don't look Chinese. I'm not sure if that was a compliment, but I'll take it. They served items I've never had before and I needed to try it. I got a bowl of fresh lobster meat in pumpkin soup $9.80, look fun with egg and chicken $9. We had to get two orders of the egg yolk jin dui $7.50. We also got my usual shrimp dumplings $10, chicken feet $9 and black bean spareribs $9. The hubby wanted to try the pan fried chicken dumplings $10. Hands down the best item was the salted egg yolk jin dui. It was freshly fried and when I bit into it the sauce came oozing out. Next, was the lobster pumpkin soup. It was delicious. I wish that they would have put more lobster into it and not just a few tiny pieces on the top. Everything else was great, on par with the dim sum in Hong Kong. I did have a problem with the shrimp dumplings. One of the wrappers broke when I picked it up with my chopsticks. No biggie though; it still tasted great with huge and plump shrimp fillings. They charge for tea, $3 per person. *prices listed are in CAD

    Right across from the Eaton Centre, this is a solid spot if you're craving Chinese food and especially seafood. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Honestly, it's a nice change if you don't feel like eating inside the mall.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The servers are friendly, and while it's not the quietest place, the lively buzz actually adds to the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lobster dinner was delicious, and the soup hit the spot too. It's not the absolute best Chinese restaurant in the city, but definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good for groups, casual dinners, or anyone looking for a tasty meal just steps away from downtown shopping.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A great little spot for dim sum in Toronto downtown. Apparently the place takes reservations, but we showed up with that one on a Sunday and the restaurant became quickly packed. As with any decent authentic Chinese place, expect service to be rushed/ impersonal but food to be great. Everything is on the menu from congee to egg tarts to buns. The pork buns actually had some of the fluffiest buns I've ever had. Skip the hot and sour soup- it was entirely bland. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Located as part of a mall, they don't seem to have their own airflow so it gets hot quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Sweet & Sour Pork
    Eunice N.

    One of my friends recommended Moon Palace, and I was able to stop by on a Saturday evening. It wasn't too busy, and we were able to be promptly sat. While it was not dimsum hour, they still have dimsum selections available to be taken down by paper, as well as a fuller menu for entrees. All of the dishes were familiar, as I grew up in a Cantonese household. We ended up ordering the sweet & sour pork, Cantonese chow mein (we originally tried ordering the chow fun, but they had run out 10 minutes prior to us ordering :( ), mushroom/tofu vegetable dish, and egg yolk sesame balls. Personally, I loved the sesame balls the most hahah the egg yolk filling was perfectly not-too-sweet and delicious! The sweet & sour pork had really thick breading; we wished there was less thick coating, crispier texture, and more meat. The Cantonese chow mein was great! Your typical crispy noodles with great proportion of vegetables and meat. The tofu/mushroom dish was also great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was nice and the spacing felt comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of the servers were really nice. Despite my broken Cantonese, they made me feel like I was speaking fluently hahaha I would come back just for the sesame balls hehe

    What a delight. The quality of of the meat and ingredients that they use in general here are amazing. The best dim sum in the city. When you have shrimp and duck in your chow mein, there are chunks of duck and the shrimp are small to medium sized shrimp not those tiny baby ones that taste like nothing at usual places. They're so good at putting a twist on dim sum items you're used to having like they have Siu Mai dumplings that are twice as big as they are elsewhere and they're topped with a little bit of truffle. Instead of having only barbeque pork steam buns, they also have chicken and ginger steam buns. Their shrimp rice rolls have medium-size shrimp in them and a yummy steamed green vegetable. There's one man server who is so nice and friendly and seems to always be working. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The venue itself is pretty and very open with high ceilings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for some elevated dim sum, I highly suggest trying this place

    Went here for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Interior was clean and decorations and ambiance was tasteful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was attentive and efficient. The food was delicious and presented very well. We got the set menu and it was a very reasonable price for what you get. My favorite dish was the steamed fish and would definitely recommend that. Overall, great place for Cantonese style dinner in downtown Toronto area.

    Lissa L.

    The quality of their food is surprising because even if it is familiar Chinese food, it was not greasy in any way. They brought out the siomai first and it was huge, bursting at the seams with pork, not fat. Afterward, in quick succession came the rice noodles, crispy noodles, steamed fish in ginger scallion sauce, sautéed beef, snow peas with mushrooms and fried tofu. All of these were *chef's kiss* delicious. Service was top notch and the waiters assigned to us promptly refilled our water glasses and teapots. We were left wanting for nothing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was such a gorgeous venue for our family reunion.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However do note that if your table is against the wall, those seated in that area will find it difficult to leave to go to the bathrooms without asking everyone else to get up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All in all, Moon Palace offers superb Chinese food and first world service - you'll get so much bang for your buck and a ton of memories.

    Outstanding dim sum in the heart of Toronto's financial district! True flavours of Hong Kong! Exemplary service! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is soothing and has an understated classiness ...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Paid parking available in the same building ( entrance from Bay St )

    712. Chicken and abalone pan fried with our house made sauce
    Kay K.

    A Satisfying Experience The service was attentive -- I never had to ask for water or tea, which was a nice touch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, I do wish the ventilation had been a bit better for a more comfortable dining atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now, onto the most important part: the food. It reminded me of my grandmother's cooking -- not overly salty, with a perfect balance of aroma, texture, and flavor. I tried several dishes: chicken and abalone stir-fry, fried wild rice with seafood, Chinese broccoli with preserved pork, pumpkin soup with lobster meat, and the standout dish -- sweet and sour seafood soup. You might think sweet and sour soup is nothing special, but this one is on another level. If you're a fan of that flavor profile, don't miss it -- you won't regret it.

    Tableside duck
    Megan G.

    If you order on thing, order the duck. If you order two things get the rest of the menu, because everything is fantastic. Best to come with a big group and try multiple dishes. The staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. Very easy to become a regular.

    There was a piece of plastic in the veggies dish. So disgusting and disappointing. The waiter gave us coconut pudding as apology but still we already ate the dirty stuffs otherwise food was ok.

    Daniel A.

    One of the better dim sum spots in Downtown Toronto, though the selection of dim sum items is relatively limited and they were surprisingly sold out of congee when I dined here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The actual space and ambiance leaves much to be desired but the food feels clean, tasty, and well seasoned.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely come here with a group and plan to share, as the portions here are quite large!

    Good spot for standard dim sum…read more We came here on a midweek lunch and waited a few minutes before getting seated. They have a pretty standard selection for dim sum, using a paper and pencil to mark selections. The service was also quite quick and efficient. They will charge you for tea service (per person) and tip was already included in the bill at the end, so double check before you pay. It was bright and also slightly higher in noise level but to be expected. Some of the dishes were a bit too salty for my preference (like the pan fried beef ribs, great but a slightly more salty than I'd prefer) but the egg tart was nice - not too sweet but still eggy and light.

We came here for dinner and it was quite full but there was a table available and we were seated immediately. We were brought out hot tea and after reviewing their menu, we chose the dim sum route. Things were brought out as they were ready. We really enjoyed everything we got especially the Deep Fried Shrimp with Chive Cake and Soup Dumpling with Minced Chive & Chicken. The chive cake was perfectly crispy and great on its own. The soup dumpling was really more of a wonton soup to us but there were plenty of wontons and the broth was great. A really great place for dim sum!

Green sea bass was solid. Lamb chops were excellent. Both soups were mediocre and I would pass on those. Abalone was cold and the alcohol marination was a miss for me. Fried rice was way too dry. Service was good with a dedicated server for the private room along with support. Cool feature is their lazy Susan's can turn on their own when the server controls it.

The individual New Century slow boiled soup is hardest to share but secure some empty bowls and you can divide the hefty portion. In the winter, there's a silkiness to the piping hot consommé that sooths a dry throat and has an umami essence infused with abalone, ginseng, and pork. There's plenty to choose from in the house signature combo platter including roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork, pork slices, and seaweed salad. Saving my stomach for the later dishes, I had a taste of the duck (a good start with crispy skin) and BBQ pork (satisfactory and well flavoured). With the generous portion of chicken in the combo platter, the slow cooked chicken with abalone broth seemed like overkill. I've never been a huge fan of this dish that's served cold since I prefer chicken hot. Still, I understand it's the jelly layer between the skin and meat that people enjoy. And to be fair, the chicken was tender, and New Century certainly didn't skimp on the ginger and scallion oil. For those who tend to fill-up before the "main dishes", the stars of the combo arrive mid-meal. The stir-fried Vancouver crabs with silver fish in HK style spicy sauce needs to be eaten at arrival as the crunchy coating is best straight from the fryer. And despite not looking spicy, the dish has a light heat that permeates in the background. Additionally, the crab was fresh and meaty, cooked well so it remained delicately flakey. The amount of sweet and sticky sauce used in the stir-fried lobsters with scallion in Maggie sauce was well balanced, lightly covering the crustaceans. Both lobsters were substantial; even after eating many pieces, we still had plenty of leftovers. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.
