Dine & Dim

The food is honestly too expensive for its price imo. 8 dollars for one dish is a bit much considering how it didn't taste that good. Also the tea is pretty bad, it's not the usual in other dimsum places I tried. Overall it's an aesthetic place but the tea really made me not like it (tasted like the healthy drinks my aunt would give me) and just not worth it. It's a good place yeah but you can easily find other good places that's cheaper and better (oh but if you plan to go I would reccomend the siu mai)

Have been to this Dine & Dim a few times and luv it. It's not easy to find good dim sum places nowadays in downtown especially in the East Chinatown, so Dine & Dim fills the void. Also, it's not a hole in the wall run down place, this place is modern, clean, very artsy with Chinese culture and art to complement the Chinese Food theme. Service here is nice, staff are hardworking, courteous and attentive. Now, the prices could be a little on the pricey side coz you do pay what you pay for as they serve high quality food, decor, interior, better comfy furniture and elevated dining experience, but it's still reasonable and tasty food. For example, chicken feet or spared pork ribs are like $7.99 CDN which is normally $4.68 elsewhere. I really like the pan friend shrimp chive dumpling, it's a MUST ORDER. Nicely pan fried, the fresh shrimp paste inside the dumpling works perfectly with the freshly chopped chives. We also ordered the fish congee,, the bowl size is reasonable, with nice ginger and green onions. We had great experiences here for dim sum and dinner. Highly recommended.

Great place for small and large groups. Lots of food variety for tasty good sized portions share plates! Staff are friendly and great service. They have a couple large circular tables with lazy susan spinners, just call to make sure they are available. High chairs available for babies too. Top picks: Fried squid, Cantonese chow mein, sizzling plate beef ribs, clay pot eggplant and tofu.

This place is so good. I've been coming here forever. The new owners are amazing; made some great changes. I ordered takoyaki, steamed buns, and shrimp and chives dumplings, and hot sake. Everything was tasty and I have left overs for tomorrow, I'm so full ❤️ Next time I'll ask for no straw in my water. I didn't realize plastic straws still exist 😣

It’s a great place for dim sum in eastern chinatown of Toronto. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. Staffs are very friendly, order is from an ipad with pictures, very good for individuals who may not know dim sum that much! Overall it’s a great meal, will definitely go again!

We were very pleased with how warm and welcoming the staff were, and how relaxed and cozy the restaurant was. We thought there would be a greater selection from the dim sum menu, but was informed that some of the items aren't served during dinner. That was disappointing. Nonetheless, the menu had a wonderful bunch of options. The pricing was a bit higher than we had expected, but the portions were rather generous and very flavourful. We look forward to coming earlier to try more of their menu. The only thing we found odd was going upstairs for the washroom, which all the way at the back of the karaoke bar. (Odd, especially since it was empty, and felt a bit creepy... I'm sure when it's open with staff and patrons it won't seem so odd.)

Super delicious diem sum (aka dim sum). High quality goods and superior service. I really did my research before coming here and it met all of my expectations. I love how the orders are processed via the iPads and hence there are no mistakes made. The only negative comment I have is that the deep fried crab claw balls showed a picture with 2 per order but the section clearly said one (and only one came). If you’re ordering , based on the wonderful pictures then they should represent the pictures. They need to change this picture. Other than that my experience as perfect. The food was super awesome. My favourite bean curd roll was the best I ever had. That deep fried octopus tentacles was amazing. Never had any so good before. Also never been to a Chinese restaurant where all the condiments are already on the table. The different hot sauces and such. They really have it all well thought out. Service was impeccable. I don’t know if that older gentleman who served us was the owner or not but that level of service was just amazing. I’m really in love with the food here.

What a great place to go for Dim Sum. Food is wonderful and so fresh. All the Dim Sum favourites are on the menu as well as some dishes you can order as well. The staff is very friendly, fast and work well as a team to make to experience a good one. The place does get crowded so we arrived early, and glad that we did so. Mmmm. Definitely will go again. Highly recommended
