Very busy place. Food is great. We had dim sum here. However they don’t really follow the reservation system. We called a day before and made a reservation but when we arrived all tables are served. We waited 20min to get a table. .

First time coming here since they apparently changed ownership and name. Used to come here all the time when it was “Sam Woo”. I have to say they did a good job keeping everything the same, the place is just as I remembered from several years ago. When we first got in, we got some tea and ordered the combo with a few add on dishes. All the seafood tasted really good from the lobster to the fish to the fried seafood medley(shrimp and squid). Tasted very fresh and delicious. The sweet and sour pork was extremely tasty too, tender and had a nice mesh of sweetness paired with a shuttle and not too strong sour taste. What was surprising was the Bok Choy and mushroom medley. Every bite was tasty and savoury. Food came fast and place was just as I remembered. Only con is that it’s much more expensive than other Chinese restaurants. Just 5 dishes with soup and dessert will set you back $200-300. If you don’t mind spending the extra buck for tasty Chinese food. Then this may be the place for you IMO.

MANDATORY $2 A PERSON FOR TEA! 9 people, they charged $18 for tea WHEN NO ONE DRANK TEA! Everyone ordered drinks - coke, orange crush. We said multiple times we don’t want tea, said it’s “table charge” Unacceptable. Only place in GTA that mandatory charges $2 tea A PERSON!! It’s obvious we don’t drink tea considering everyone ordered canned pop.

It has been a long while since I have visited here. It was the Sam Woo Restaurant the last time I dined here. I was told that the Dim Sum here is fairly good. But I had a craving for some bbq pork and rice. The bbq offerings were wildly popular here before. I am happy to say that my bbq pork was delicious ????. Fresh and well seasoned along with the crispy skin. Quite delectable. The soya sauce chicken thighs were equally tasty ????. I will drop by for dim sum ???? for sure at a later date. Happy eats everyone ???? *** Update Dec 2023 *** I returned today to try their dim sum. I am impressed. It is a breath of fresh air in Mississauga since Bliss Chinese Restaurant closed. The dishes were piping hot, fresh and it hit the flavour and texture points here. I tried over 10+ dim sum dishes and they were all excellent. The service is good ????. Happy Eats everyone ????

Seems like the overall quality of this place improved since ownership changed over from Sam Woo's. There have been some minor and superficial interior renovations and changes that have helped the overall atmosphere feel less dated and grimey. Service was fast and friendly and it was surprisingly easy to flag down a server to ask for things. (An accomplishment that regular dim summers know is not always the easiest thing to do in this kind of resto.) Price has gone up since the Sam Woo days, but is not unreasonable given that this is one of the cleaner and more respectable dim sum joints in town. The food itself is hit or miss, but is about on par with the Mississauga dim sum standard. We ordered most of the staples: Har gow: 3/5 - tastes decent, dumpling wrapper is on the thick side. Shrimp portion is generous but not the freshest tasting. Siu mai: 3/5 - nice meatball texture and flavor, wrapper is good, skinny on the roe topping Lo bak go: 2/5 - almost all paste and no lo bak. Flavor wise very bland and texture is mushy because of the ratio of filler paste to lo bak. Jin dui: 4/5 - very crispy exterior and decent flavor. A little skinny on the filling but otherwise pretty good. Char siu bao: 4/5 - very nice texture on the bread itself. Fairly generous char siu filling that was flavorful, tender and sweet. Lai wong bao: 2/5 - Bun was not as tender and may have been over steamed. Filling was lackluster and no longer runny.
