From its grand storefront alone, you already know that you’re in for some delicious Chinese cuisine. Many residents from neighbouring cities such as Markham and Richmond Hill come here for their delicious dim sums and banquet dinners, especially during the weekends.

As expected from a banquet hall, the space here is huge. As you step in, you can already tell this restaurant is designed for large events. In fact, throughout the years’ many memorable events including weddings, birthdays, and holiday celebrations are held here each month. This doesn’t come as a surprise as the space itself is beautifully decorated with Chinese-inspired designs with red being found throughout the space from the carpeted floors, cushioned seats, and walls. The space also features a chandelier, marble pillars, and even statues of a phoenix and a dragon, talk about grand.

The dim sum menu features 56 different items categorized as steamed, rice roll, baked, deep-fried, congee, and desserts. The size of each dish ranges from small to jumbo, with a price range between $4-$11. The portions sizes of the dishes fairly represent the price of the dishes. Some of the favourite dim sum items here are the har gow, radish cakes, and the glutinous rice with pork and preserved eggs in lotus leaf.
