When you enter, you'll find that they're pretty proud for winning awards for being the best Chinese restaurant in Waterloo. Therefore, I had pretty high expectations going into the restaurant. I was hoping that it would be authentic stuff. We waited for 20-30 minutes for a table.\n\nI'll tell you that it's not authentic Cantonese dim sum. It is most definitely the most authentic \""Canadian Chinese\"" food ever. Everything I ate was sweet, even the things that aren't supposed to be. One of my favourite dim sum foods--the rice wrapped in lotus leaf (jun jue gai) is always made savory, but their's tasted like it was dipped in syrup. They also used bbq pork in the jun jue gai instead of conpoy, mushroom, or even chicken (the GAI in the name means chicken). They used pork instead of chicken.\n\nI ordered a lot of things that day and none of them tasted as they should because everything had some superficial sweetness to it. Cantonese cuisine should not taste so... gaudy. Also, the dim sum variety is quite limited.\n\nAs for the waiters/waitresses, there was only one person that spoke Cantonese there (a guy). I think the others were Mandarin and Filipino. Not really a problem, it was just confusing because there was a waitress that kept speaking Mandarin to me. I kept trying to speak Cantonese, but always had to fall back to English.\n\nConsidering all of the high reviews on Yelp for this restaurant, I was very confused when I left. I came on a weekend for dim sum with two others, and we ordered a lot so we could try everything (bill came down to $20 each, which is absurd for dim sum). Sure, we're not in Toronto so I shouldn't compare with delicious dim sum that usually costs like $5 per person at most. Still, I still think it was unjustifiably expensive.
