Peak Top is a fancy no-plastic-tablecloths type of Chinese restaurant.
We decided to check it out for dim sum due to it's proximity to the 400N for out of town family that had to hit the road afterwards.
Arriving around 10:30am on a Saturday, it was very quiet. There was only one other occupied table. It started to get busier around 11:30am.
The dim sum is served check-list style which I prefer anyway as the food usually arrives hotter and fresher. Once we chose our items, it wasn't a long wait before food arrived.
The quality of dim sum was very good, not too greasy, and fresh tasting.
Service was friendly although the waitress did spill soya sauce on our table, splashing dangerously close to my my head and did not appologize. If this was Hong Kong and I was with my relatives, this woman would have had been cussed out and torn a new one. But as polite North Americans, we only tisked after she walked away.
We ordered 13 items (a variety of S-M-L) and the bill came out to $60 with tax and tip. They also charge $0.60 per person for tea.
Not a bad option for dim sum, and the proximity to the highway and Vaughan Mills Mall is a bonus. -

We visited this restaurant for a few times, both dinner and lunch. This time we came for dim sum. The décor is very good and trendy. There are separations for different parts of the restaurant. One of the favorites we ordered was the "Dan dan" noodle. It is plain noodle mixed with peanut sauce, sesame sauce and sesame oil. It was disappointed. It was not comparable to the taste a few months back. The dim sum is average.
When we ordered the dim sum and asked for the details of the dim sum, the waiter sort of very impatiently replied "If you want this, we will give you this. If you want that, we can give you that. Everyone has a different taste, it all depends on you". He continued talking and we just shut up . We didn't want to argue about it and quickly finished our order.
It is pricy for the food when quality is compared to other Chinese restaurants. Of course, it is the rare Chinese restaurant in the district. -

Dim sum is mediocre but it's better than other places within a 25 km radius from our house. Food is quite good tho for evening. Pretty good value and quality.

The only quality Chinese restaurant in Vaughan. In a wasteland of Italian restaurants, Asian is nearly impossible to find. I finally had an opportunity to try this establishment right after Labor Day. It was heaven, even if I was a bit desperate. It is not quite up to the level of the Ambassador in Richmond Hill, but it saved me from hating Italian cuisine by offering me an excellent alternative.
I plan on having lunch there at least once per week during the cold months-the draw?-shrimp wonton noodle soup, a great soul-warming meal for an insanely cheap $4.95.
Of course the real lunchtime feast will be the dim sum. 2 hearty eaters hurt themselves for 20 bucks apiece! -

This Peak Top location WOWed us when it first opened near Vaughan Mills. Having been to the one in Markham, what surprised us most is that this location's DECOR was upscaled as though you think that the Markham spot isn't a sister location.
Stepping inside it gives off an air of sophistication as you can see the perfect image of East meets West melt together with just enough CONTRAST to still know you're in a Chinese restaurant.
On one side of the restaurant there's booths arrangements that make it comfortable for a small FAMILY to chat between themselves in a Modern setting while the other side barely noticeable separated is the Traditional Chinese where you can engage larger groups as well as the Banquets.
First of all it's almost NONEXISTENT to see Chinese Dim Sum restos in these parts of the woods. Secondly, to have such an ELEGANT place that makes you feel going back to DT or Scarb for Dim Sum is pretty ghetto.
Obviously class comes with a price tag and you will notice it as you won't see Dim Sum Specials here. It is Lunch Rush pricing throughout the day. It might cost a bit more but there's definitely VALUE to it as the food always comes out looking GREAT.
The menu is nice too as it resembles a LARGE place mat that gives you a nice photo of the item along with the name. This is not a Pushcart place so you might have to check for missing items with the Wait Staff from time-to-time.
In terms of Wait Staff, we do not know if they purposely forget or not but sometimes our condiment request never shows until our 5th attempt.
There's an EEL Pastry that I've tried and it's a unique flavour combination that I like one day and not like next day. The Bean Curd Wrap has a good sauce on top. No complains about the Shrimp Dumplings and Sui Mai but the Lotus Sticky Rice tends to be on the small-serving side as they wrap it in elongated shape.
Anyways, I'm stuck in these parts of the woods and I'm HAPPY this place exists.Listed in: Southern Chinese Food

We were excited to find a dim sum restaurant in the area. However, we were quite disappointed with the food, price, and service. Upon entering, we were not greeted by anyone. Granted it was early on Saturday morning, and there were no other diners. However, the host kept looking at us from afar and it took a few minutes for him to come to the front to seat us. The food was not as good as we had hoped. We've been to a number of other dim sum restaurants and were not impressed by the quality of food for the price. Don't bother coming to Peak Top and go to Richmond Hill or Markham instead. We're not coming back here, given better options elsewhere.

Review from S W.

Had dinner here after wonderland and the Chinese food is a cut above the norm. Service is very good with fast and freshly made food with great ingredients. No desert such as tofu or red bean soup. Red jello shaped in red hearts was offered instead which was good for the seven and six year old with us.
