Dim Sum in Downtown with Carts

[urbantrauma]

Apart from New Sky in Chinatown, are there any restos out there that still serve dim sum with the little carts that come around the tables?

Pearl Court in Chinatown East.

Bright Pearl on Spadina just north of Dundas definitely has carts. They also have Dim Sum Happy Hour when everything is super cheap (usually just after the lunch rush). Their dim sum isn't particularly creative but it does the job when I'm craving dim sum.

Stay the heck away from Pearl Harbourfront. White man ripoff joint only. I was stupid enough to go there once. Should have spotted the warning signs, plates with knives and forks, had to ask for chopsticks. Got hosed huge. Paid $100 for dim sum for 2. $10 for sticky rice in lotus leaf!!!!

Its not that bad. I find the quality and service very good. We paid $150 for 8 people and all of us were stuffed. I hope you didn't order wine like most of the people I saw that morning.

Sun Sun in Mississauga still does dim sum with the carts.

I never understood the appeal of Pearl Harbourfront. We had dim sum there once and I'll NEVER go back. I wouldn't say that the dim sum is that much better than any place in Chinatown or Markham but the prices are absolutely outrageous! I firmly believe that dim sum is not a meal that needs to be expensive to be good.

Agreed! Pearl is overpriced and under serviced, quite the tourist trap. For that kind of money you can go to Dynasty or just a wee bit more Lai Wah Heen, both vastly better options.

Check out New Treasure on Dundas, right by the bus station. Supposedly it's the oldest dim sum resto (with carts) in the city. Not at all fancy, but it does have the carts!

It's not bad as dim sum goes, either. Not high end stuff, but tasty nonetheless.

Agreed---I like New Treasure. It's traditional dim sum done nicely (though their menu doesn't vary at all from day to day---but oh well).

Gerrard and Broadview had two, Soon Foon Tai, and Grand Pearl, with carts.

Is new sky same as sky dragon? If not, well sky dragon, on the top floor of a mall on dundas and queen, has carts.
