Chef Tony Dim Sum - Burnaby, British Columbia

My food experience was very good. The taste and freshness of the products was delicious and everything came on time. I can only say that the food was delicious. The only thing I didn't like was the person at the entrance, she was a bit rude in ... the way she responds. The servers move fast; don't expect them to be smiling all the time because the volume of customers is quite large and the employees are moving very fast. In general was a good experience. Read more

I have been visiting here since they open. I used to like their pork rice a lot. But last visit was so disappointed! When I picked up, no broccoli or other veggies. I was told because they have nothing left over. With no apology and not informed when I was ... ordering, I was told usually when they have veggies left over for the day, they put some in pork rice. Well, sounds like veggie is not what I was supposed to get for the last few years. But actually they have broccoli on their menu picture. Not a big deal, but to me, it was a cheat. So sad. Read more

Was expecting a really bad experience here but honestly I think people just expect too much from a food court dimsum/chef Tony. Got the combo A and beef tendon. The beef tendon is rly good. Arrived steamy hot too. Everything was fresh ish, at least no stale rice or dimsum. The fried rice wasn’t ... oily which was good. Was disappointed in the shrimp dumplings tho, the filling is very mushy. Can’t even tell it’s shrimp lol. Overall happy that there’s a food court dimsum option, but won’t get it again if there was no discounts with delivery apps like this time. Read more

I love coming here for a quick meal, service is usually quick and attentive (as it should be in a food court). The combos allow you to try a variety of items, dependent on their selection as not all items are available at a given time. I always get the ... truffle/egg fried rice (super tasty and I like the variation from a regular fried or steamed rice). My personal favourite dim sum items are the 'baked assorted mushrooms pastry', 'steamed shrimp dumpling' and 'pork and dried shrimp sticky rice dumpling'. I usually get the 'cuttlefish ink and egg yolk bun' as well, it is a novelty item but the taste is consistent, and it's best to eat fresh. Some of their offerings are 'smaller' in size than other restaurants, but I think it's a good place to try a mix of dim sum items when you can't decide! Read more

Was surprised to see chef Tony come to a food court near me. Good idea though for those who want their dim sum fix at all hours of the day. Came for lunch today and ordered a couple things to compare to their restaurant in Richmond. Sparerib steamed rice - BIG ... portion! For $11 we got the 4pc dim sum combo. We chose to get 4 spring rolls (hindsight we could've gotten a variety but didn't think about it good enough). The rice took some time but we were well aware of the wait. It came out with a heaping pile of pork spareribs! Good taste and flavours. The only let down was the plastic container it came in didnt retain the heat but that's what you get at a food court! Shrimp dumplings (Har gow) - the look of these tiny dumplings were not great. The skins were all broken. Not at all what it looks like when we have them at the restaurant. The flavours were still the same but I think since they have to be frozen to get them out here the quality was not the same. Sponge cake (ma lai go) - same as the restaurant! Chef Tony has the best steamed sponge cake around in my opinion! Light and fluffy reminds me of my childhood. All in all, a good place to go for a quick dim sum fix. I'd stick to the safe choices like spring rolls buns and Siu mai for the dim sum items and the rice is a good deal! Read more
