Oh man best dim sum place I have had so far! First time ever that I have had Har Gow which did not fall apart!
Reasonable pricing too! given the quality of the food I was surprised that this specialty spot could keep its prices comparable to other dim sum joints =)
Definitely enjoyed the service, and will be returning with my parents! (don't have to cover the bill XD) -

Royal Teahouse is my #2 dim sum place whenever I don't want to wait for seating at Dragon Boat.
I rate it as a 3.5 but rounding up to a 4 since I'm never disappointed and service is quite good.
I can't quite put my finger on it but the dim sum is not as fresh as Dragon Boat however it is above par compared to other dim sum establishments.
Parking is never a problem as well. It has 2 dim sum items that most other places do not have, one is the steamed turnip cake and two is the deep fried vegetable roll.Listed in: Dim Sum

This rating is on RT's dim sum.
I quite enjoy the rice noodle and the steam dumpling wrapping, as it's hard to find a place that makes it smooth and fresh.
Also, the EGG TARTS are really good and the filling just melts in your mouth ^_^

Review only refers to the dim sum here...not the dinner. This joint is my new fav with the best taro selection in Toronto. I find that a lot of other dim sum restaurants use some sort of modified starch...but this cat is all about the real thing.
I come here usually once per week at a minimum...they must put some sort of drug in their dishes because I crave it pretty bad by Tuesday or Wednesday. If I'm lucky enough to make it out during the weekdays...line up isn't too bad...but warning...there usually is a line up....especially on Saturday or Sunday.
The boss lady and most of the workers seem pretty nice...but I guess if you come here as much as I do...they would be nice to you too. It's loud, proud and all around good food here.
Parking is pretty ample and place is pretty clean. -

Yes I am coming to Royal Teahouse for dinner instead of dim sum.
They do have set menu where you can pick 2/3/4/5 courses from a specific menu and the more you order the cheaper the cost per dish. There are over 40 dishes you can select from so there must be something for everyone.
I found the dishes here are sizable so we were full even ordering the 2 dish set meals.
The staffs here are one of the friendest one I meet in term of Chinese restaurants.
They accepts Visa and Mastercard. -

This is known as a Dim Sum place and not much else. Dinner hours this place is very quiet unlike their Dim Sum hours. It is in a small quiet plaza on Woodbine in the middle of 16th & Hwy 7 which makes them convenient for some local residents and factory/office workers nearby.
This place does Dim Sum better than the norm and as well they should because that is what this business is about. That's probably the reason they charge a bit above the normal, but you get good QUALITY in a nice comfortable Teahouse environment.
It's not the biggest place on the block, so if you go during peak times you should expect a little bit of wait time at the door. The few times I've been there with one other friend, I've never waited but only saw others wait instead.
To me, this is NOT one of the places where you can sit back and enjoy your TEA while reading the daily newspaper. I'm OLD SCHOOL that way just like how I sit back and enjoy my Lattes, same philosophy.
The general setting and the atmosphere kind of dictate the mood and pace, which makes it a EAT & GO Dim Sum place instead. In terms of food, it does take time as you select your items from the order sheet which again takes away from the classical trolley method but nonetheless it comes out fresh and HOT.
I do feel safe when I eat here as it gives me the UPSCALE vibe, but then I'm from Scarboro where $2.00 Dim Sum is KING. The flavours isn't that unique from any other place but it's definitely not as bad as some others. Definitely worth a TRY if you drive.Listed in: Southern Chinese Food

I like Chinese tea, Chinese tea for me.
This is one of my favorite dim sum spots.
What makes this dim sum place better than others?
*Clean: This place is nice enough to take your non-asian friends.
No giant rats or dudes picking their noses as they scoop your congee.
*Tasty and fresh: Food is well prepared.
Speedy preparation and they have some items that I don't find too much elsewhere.
I always order the spicy deep-fried eggplant. It's tempura style, crispy with a kick..
The Portuguese chicken tarts/pies are magically savory and sweet.
The sponge cake... it's so cute! They roll them up...sort of like little cinnamon buns.. if my grandma were trying to make them.
*Order by checkbox: I know that people like the pushy-cart thing...
but I like getting food when I'm hungry.
And getting the food I want and not having to wait for it.
I don't feel I should suffer for my food. It doesn't make it more enjoyable.
Anyways, I love this place!! :)
