I have to give these guys 5 stars. They serve dim sum that is very, very good.
Lots of carts with lots of choice. Good value. Get there early on weekends
because the line up starts at about 11 am. They're packed with good reason and have been for many years -

We order a full roasted pork for the coming Chinese New Year and what we got for paying about $100+ was a very non-crispy, awfully dried tasting thing I can not even consider it being food. Firstly, how can you even serve people food like this? Secondly, I feel ripped off, we even call them about this situation and ended having the so called 'manager' yelling back saying "so what is it that you want" instead of giving us an apology or "maybe it was a bad pork."
My parents and I usually go there from time to time before, but now I stay far away from them. Their food isn't even the greatest, since I can just go to T&T and get myself some frozen dim sum cause it taste identical. I rather go to up to Kennedy where there's better food and better people. -

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and it was busy. There was a line up at the door. Food wasn't very hot.. Service mediocre.. I prefer Emerald on Eglington!

The good thing about having out of town visitors is I get to over gorge myself on dim sum and dinners. We decided to try Summit. It's been on my to-try list for awhile, although we've always been discouraged because of it's west Mississauaga border of Oakville location.
We arrived around 11am on a Saturday and it was relatively quiet. The restaurant was about half full which is okay by me since I hate waiting in lines.
Dim sum is served via carts. All the items in the steamers were hot and fresh while most, if not all, the deep fry items were cold. They have the standard dim sum items, nothing out of the usual. No stand out items, everything was just as expected.
We ordered 7 small, 9 medium and 2 large items for a group of six and the bill came to $63 before tip. Not a bad price, average.
Given the location, we probably wouldn't travel out that far West to go for dim sum there again. There are closer choices that are just as good.Listed in: Dim Sum West Side

Came here for my cousin's wedding dinner. Seems like a very popular place among the folks living here. There was us, plus another wedding part, and regular non-chinese. The rest of the restaurant was ten over by a large anniversary celebration. This definately seems like the place to be some how.
The food here was pretty good. My cousin also did a good job of hand picking the dishes.
My favourite was the soft shell crab.
They also have an interesting way of presentation, like the chicken that was cut with the head and tail added (custom) but looked like a flat chicken. Or the weird egg garnished we all picked at.
The service was unfriendly and sometimes rude. They were strange about taking away the food, and clearing the plates. I don't' know who would win in terms of mean service staff Emerald or here -

Came here to celebrate Year of the Rabbit with a dozen peeps roughly split between Asian and gwai lo. Our hosts were regulars so the service was pretty solid and attentive. The food on the other hand was a hit and miss. Just for fun, let me enumerate my findings in the style of top yelper WaYnE C:
* 2 Courses of Peking Duck: this was CARVED at the Table and highly Crispy. The "Torillias" were really sticky though, not like I'm used to.
* Lobster: I didn't bother, because this is a Bitch to eat with Chopsticks.
* Deep Fried Tofu: Not very good at all(lame). No Flavour and really oily.(-0.5 Star)
* Cantonese Chow Mein: Hard to screw this up, right?
* Ying Yang Fried Rice: This looked SCARY, but I actually enjoyed it. A blanket of Gooey Shrimps & Tomato Chicken over Fried Rice.(+1 *Star*)
* Beef & vegetable Ho Fun: The Ho Fun was SO FUN. :P(+0.5 Star)
* Salt and spice prawns: These were QUITE Awesome. Nicely Spiced.
* Sauteed chicken with mango: Meh.
* Hot and sour soup: I've had better. Not really as Sour as it should be.
* Lettuce Wraps: These were good, but the Lettuce should have been more FRESH.
Not a bad experience overall. I would say it was A-OK. Prices seemed pretty reasonable as well.
Obligatory Title Pun: Don't let down your GARD.
Menu Readability: Thankfully, I let other people deal with this. It was so long and loaded with incomprehensible options.
Need to mention: Wayne C is pure awesomeness! Read his reviews: http://vvaynec.yelp.ca/
What this place teaches me about myself: I've been spoiled by my proximity to Chinatown.Listed in: Mastering Missisauga, Dim Sum and then Sum

One of the better/cleaner Chinese banquet-style restaurants in Mississauga.
Depends on what type of meal you are going for - offers dim sum, full lunch and dinner services and even can be rented for weddings/celebrations. Because of the location, there is a good multicultural mix of people (not just Chinese people) and therefore the waitresses/servers can communicate in English.
Pros
- average food (dim sum & dinner service)
- environment/ambiance: very clean and spacious; comfortable setting
- comparable prices to other Chinese banquet-style restaurants in Mississauga, but better environment and food
Cons
- average food (is a pro and a con; not the most delicious, but very normal quality)
- service is average; normal Chinese restaurant style service (nothing exceptional, nothing supbar; just gives you what you need)
Overall
Definitely a good standard choice for dim sum or Chinese meals in Mississauga; borderlines Oakville, so the clientele is definitely more multicultural, which means cleaner and more well-kept restaurant. -

The food is okay, but the portions were small. The service was poor, would it kill you to smile???
For what they charge, they don't give you that much, and therefore I would say this place has poor value for the money (dinner).

Sundays are for football and dimsum. And Summit Garden is a touchdown.
Getting here early is a must. Show up a minute past 11 and you'll be waiting in a line/sea of hungry dimsumers.
Once seated dim sum is all about position and getting easy access to newest carts is the best bet for an enjoyable dim sum experience.
Shrimp haggar, curry squid, and baby bok choy are table favorites and don't be afraid to go peking duck.
The lazy susan at all the tables makes sharing or stealing your favorite dish away from others a breeze.
After a successful dimsum it's not recommended to drive so having a DDD (designated dimsum driver) is recommended. -
Review from Richie S.
For me, this is the closest place for dim sum geographically. Sunday wait times seem longer when you're hungry, so get here early.
Carts break out of the kitchen like bulls at the Stampede, so don't lolly-gag when these trolleys pass your table, b/c he who hesitates loses radish cakes. Steamed pork buns are nice and fluffy rather than your standard rubbery pork pucks. Taro nests and squid tentacles are excellent. Seating is well spaced in some areas and toiyt loike a toiyger in others: the Summit's (and most other Chinese places) only downfall for me. Tea is replaced every so often and is as hot as 10,000 white-hot suns. Less than $10 a person.

This is my top choice for Chinese food in Mississauga. I have been to most of the Chinese restaurants in Mississauga as I lived there for half my life and I happen to be Chinese. I go to Summit Garden for dim sum as well as dinner. I like this place because there are more vegetarian options than the other restaurants. The mixed vegetable in taro nest is my favorite.
The restaurant is large and the service is lukewarm but better than most other Chinese restaurants. Prices here are slightly higher, but you also get better quality food. -

First of all, the food comes pretty fast and it has enough portion. However is not the best Chinese that you can find. I wasn't expecting too much of this place. And I was right. I wasn't either surprise or disappointed. It was just normal Chinese food.
The service was ok. I mean how much can you expect. As long as the waiter understand my orders and bring me the right food I m satisfied with it.
I might go back. But it's not my favorite place.
A recommendation: do not order the crab. It tastes like plastic literally. -

Lunch and dinner, night and day, literally and figuratively. Suburb style but Chinese authenticity.
My first visit was a quiet dinner with only a few other occupied tables and a waitress that didn't even know I could get herbal chicken feet soup. Duck, beef, chicken, bring it to my table.
During the day every table was filled and it was lively in this large expansive, impersonal conference like room and dim sum carts rolled by offering their wares. The simple peppered short ribs were amazing; I could eat several bamboo baskets of those. The taro nest had a delicate nest coating and flavorful taro inside. The barbecue chicken feet were of course as tasty as anything that looks barbecued infant fingers could be! Scallop, pork and other dumplings were great too!
I'd say the interior design is lacking, the cards mostly kitchen dish carts, etc. even though some of the staff is dressed nicely, etc. but we're here for the dim sum and that's enough. -

This place is a hot spot for dim sum, and I can't say I disagree. They are one of the few Chinese restaurants still serving dim sum on carts, which is pretty awesome.
Recently I've found their quality of food lacking though - primarily dinner food. It's a bit disappointing because Summit is known to be one of the "higher end" Chinese restaurants in Mississauga. They don't seem to be as consistent as they used to be. However, this isn't to say the food isn't *good* - it just isn't as salivatingly good as it used to be.
