I'm traveling with family members and that is all they will eat. Best Dim Sum? Best Hot Pot? Best Japanese? Best Seafood? Best Dumplings? Best Chinese Grocery Store? Thu Oct 16 17:22:28 -0700 2008 233148 baileybonger 1 4109982 Dim Sum - Empire Court or Casa Imperial Hot Pot - Dao Heung (Commerce Gate, Hwy7) Japanese - Aoyama (Victoria Park/Finch), Cafe Michi for sushi/sashimi only ( Pharmacy/Sheppard) Seafood - O'Mei ( Valleymede/Hwy7) Dumplings - Northern Dumpling Kitchen ( Time Square-Hwy7) Grocery Store - T&T ( Warden/Steeles) Have fun!

The rice cake noodle dish was tasteless, the pancake with pork was mediocre, and pan fried dumplings were okay, and the dry fried beans were pretty good. Ding Tai Fung is head and shoulders above NDK: The soup filled dumplings have a nicer, thinner delicate skin, more soup. The price premium is worth it. 3-6-9 at Kennedy/south of HWY 7 is not bad either. Cafe Michi also has a nice eel on rice w/egg dish that is really good, but the highlight there is the Deluxe Chirashi bowl. Charles' other suggestions were bang on though.

It's best to do omakase there if you're going for sushi & sashimi because the selection listed on the actual menu is fairly small. Altho for seafood, I prefer to go to Lucky Season (in Times Square at Hwy 7 & Leslie). Fri Feb 20 15:01:25 -0800 2009 4109982 266555 genie81
