Golden Duke Chinese Cuisine - York

While visiting Markham, my fiance's family and I opted to have dim sum at this restaurant as we had not yet tried any during our trip.

I frequently visit this restaurant with my family for dim sum.

I tried the dim sum at this restaurant and found it to be quite expensive. Unfortunately, there was a noticeable presence of flies throughout the dining area.

Hadn't had such an msg rush in years - thought they'd stop using that stuff... Had two tables of banquet menu, but only one overworked server for our party of 20... sometimes the adult table was served, sometimes not (youth table mostly not served - too hungry to wait?). Dishes sat on the table whilst waiting for change of plates, appropriate condiments, and service. Top that off, they verbally told us (twice - in person and by phone) of a cash deal, then did not honour their word when the bill came. We will never go back. Plenty of better quality, service and honest banquet restaurants in the hood.

There are hundreds of Dim Sum Places in Toronto, but I single this one out because the quality of the Dim Sum is excellent, fresh and spiced to the taste. It is just better than many, mainly because of the fresh ingredients that they used. I enjoyed especially the sticky rice dish, the congee, Ha gaw. It is quite comfortable to lay back and enjoy. The service is professional. I will come back for more.
