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.

We came in and ordered quite a few dishes to share, and I have to say -- I was genuinely impressed. I usually find some dishes stand out while others are just okay, but here we enjoyed almost everything we tried. The portions are huge, so it's perfect if you're coming with family or a group of friends. They have all-day dim sum, which is such a plus because it's much easier when you're planning around kids. The vibe is a nice mix of traditional Chinese cuisine with a more modern restaurant feel. It's comfortable, spacious, and they have highchairs and booster seats available for little ones. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's in an older Toronto area, but there is paid parking nearby and streetcar access is convenient. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're craving dim sum and want a family-friendly option!

Food (2.75/5) - extensive selection of 50 or so dim sum items to choose from. - Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings) - pretty standard dish and was fine. - Cheung Fun (Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll) - was pretty weak. The umami soy sauce lacked flavour and the roll was a bit chalky. - Beef Short Ribs - were not good at all. Lots of gristle, bone and fat with little meat. Lacking flavour as well. - Baked Egg Tarts - average overall... not flaky enough and bit dry... custard filling was average. Service (3.5/5) - they were pretty quick with getting the order but was average turnaround on getting the order. Direct to the point order, bill, etc. which is common with these places. Atmosphere (3.75/5) - fair amount of tables and the overall decor and furnishings are fine and not aged. Overall (3.25/5) - an option if you are looking for an all day dimsum place off-times however found the food disappointing and will not repeat.

Items that I got this visit: - har gow shrimp dumplings: overall pretty good, but the wrapper was a bit thicker than I expected. Would prefer a thinning dumpling wrapper - chicken feet: excellent, very tender and flavor was great - tofu skin wrap in abalone sauce: pretty good, the meat inside was lean and well balanced with the veggies - spare ribs in black bean sauce: this was a bit of a disappointment. The ribs were a bit tough and also underseasoned. It could have used some more salt and some extra cook time. Service was fine, nothing special. The restaurant overall was pretty nice and modern. I hope to come back sometime and try some other dishes.

There were so many dishes I started losing track. LOL. I also don't know all the names of the dishes as I didn't see the menu. One of the dishes was a fried lobster. They showed the lobster to us (poor lobster) before cooking it. The lobster tasted really good but I'm not used to handling lobster in its shell. LOL. There was a pumpkin soup which I couldn't eat since it had dairy in it. Another dish was a Peking duck with rice paper wraps, cucumber & green onions. This was my favourite dish. Delicious, yummy & simple to eat. Another dish was chicken (I didn't taste that one). We also had a fried rice which was so yummy. Then there was a dish with scallops, oysters, pork & seaweed surrounding it. I tried the scallops & they were delicious. There was another duck dish but this time the duck was chopped into little pieces with some Dessert was a yogurt / jelly type of thing which I can't eat due to my dairy intolerance. Service was really great. I'm not sure if that's because I was at a table full of Chinese people though. LOL. The dishes came quickly & they just kept coming! We had tiny plates to eat from so after the lobster we got clean plates. For the fried rice we had the servers separate it into bowls for everyone. Since we couldn't finish all the food we had them wrap up the leftovers & we took it back with us. Myself & another co-worker split up the leftovers between us since no one else wanted it. Ambiance: The restaurant had some nice lunar new year decorations up. It was pretty. Located inside the Atrium on the Bay this is an easy location to get to. The location was the site of a former restaurant called Spring Rolls. It still looks the same the only thing that changed were the tables & chairs. The washrooms are downstairs in the lowest level of the restaurant. It was hard for me to get down there because my knees are really stiff & painful. It would've been nice if they had a handicap washroom on the main level. The food was delicious & service was attentive. I thought the special lunar new year meal we chose was too much food for six people. I would've been happy with dim sum. Also the washrooms being in the basement was an inconvenience for me. Those who are mobility challenged will have the same issue.

Since it was my treat, money was no object. We ordered 20 dishes to make sure no one would need to stop by McDonald's on the way home. When you think about it, that's only two dishes per person, which really isn't excessive at all. The food was fresh and piping hot. Service was a bit slow, but that was completely understandable -- it was Christmas Day and the restaurant was already packed by 11 a.m. All in all, it was a very satisfying lunch, even though I footed the bill. Paid cash and received a $19 discount. Total including tip came to $290, which I thought was very reasonable for a holiday meal of this size. I would definitely go again.

The shrimp dumplings were huge and the wrapper was quite good (not too thick). The BBQ pork buns had a crumbly texture, and the noodle rolls were soft and silky. We opted to skip the soup dumplings (xiao long bao) as my parents could tell they don't prepare these in-house. Overall, a decent spot for cheap quality dimsum.

The restrooms are extremely nice, resembling that of hotels. Honestly this has been the best chinese spot I've dined at, the only complaint I would have is that there is not an LA location.

The one downside -- the menu offers a staggering 200-ish dishes, so be ready to make a decision. But this is definitely a place worth visiting in St. Catharines.
