“ Super friendly services, food is very decent. We live in the neighborhood and this is our go to place. There are a lot of dim sum places in Toronto, I like coming here because it’s spacious and invested in good interior design. ”
“ Great service and amazing atmosphere! Dim Sum was quality and you definitely get what you pay for. I am used to the traditional chinese dim sum restaurants and was a bit sceptical of this place at first due to the price and location. Paying 5 for har gow that I usually get for 3.50 was odd to me but we wanted to try something new. We were not disappointed. First off. The dim sum tasted amazing. Not greasy or oily like others but still bursting with flavour. Portion wise, about the same as others. The squid tentacles are alot bigger than what you usually find. Service was fast and waiters were fluent in Chinese and English. Atmosphere was calm, quiet and the interior was very modern. Our bill came up to 57(tax and tip included) for two people and we were full for more than 6 hours. My only two negatives would be the portion size of the rice noodle shrimp and rice noodle dough were a bit underwhelming. The flavour made up for it but i wish they added more. ”
“ A good dim sum and Chinese dining restaurant. High price and good quality of food. Serving of food may be a bit slow. We came in a weekday. We had the meal comfortably. Recommended this Chinese Restaurant! ”
“ Food was great. The variety of options was very nice, and the price point was also good. Service was nice, but be careful, there is a tea charge that wasn't obvious until we got the bill. The decor was also pretty fancy! Overall good time to go with friends and share a meal. Try the mango pudding, it was AWESOME! ”
“ Y’all have to read this review and understand why I give Kwan restaurant 10 stars if it was possible. What makes an environment is the people who live in that environment, not the price or location or even its status in the society. Food brings people from all cultures and races together as 1 in a happy and memorable environment and that is the outstanding and remarkable thing Dim Sum Kwan brings about. The service is wonderful , the servers are kind, and amicable but most importantly the owner of the restaurant Mr Cheung is a wonderful and special person filled with love, jokes and hospitality. A lot of places are good but those places those places don’t have people like Mr Cheung. He is so far the best, most humble, kind, loving and respectful person I’ve seen in Toronto. Spending time in this restaurant with my friends was not only a wonderful moment but memorable thanks to Mr Cheung . We are definitely loyal customers to place as from now after the 1st experience we had. This is not a marketing strategy, go check it out for yourself and come give me your feedback. Thank you very much for reading so far. Make sure you try their fried rice and chicken . ”
“ Service,food and ambience were excellent. People are complaining about prices but for the quality of food they serve,it's worth it. We took our mom here for Mother's Day and she loved it,as we all did. ”
“ We loved the crispy fried noodle, vegetable spring rolls, steamed egg yolk buns and the braised tofu on vegetable. From calgary Alberta ”
“ Some of the best Chinese food in Scarborough, in my opinion! Everything we ordered was hot, fresh, and perfectly portioned! ”
