My friends and I frequent here quite often because it's decent dim sum for a cheap price.  It does get packed here by noon, but we rarely need to line up for seats.  They serve dim sum here till 3pm if you can't wake up early enough for it haha.

Dim Sum before work?  What a way to start the new  year for me!

Ok, lets get down to it.  When I rate dim sum places, I base things on the staples (ie: siu mai, ha gao, lo mai gai, dan tat, and so on..).  It's the best way to compare all dim sum…More »

I've been finding myself saying "It's not how I remember it to be," quite a bit since I've return back to Vancouver.

Food:
Used to be cheaper, but can't blame them with raising food prices and such.  

Don't get the siu loung bao, it's the worst I've…More »

Keep the dim sum carts rolling please!!

It was a slow lunch hour, so they decided to leave the dim sum cart in between the tables like a buffet station.  They just keep refilling up the same items over and over again.  The tower of steaming bamboo…More »

What I like about this place?  Watching hockey highlights while eating dim sum!  The real Chinese/Canadian brunch.

Average dim sum place.  Looks nice, clean, and pretty cheap.  40ish bucks for 5 people or maybe it was because of the Chinese new years.…More »

Wow is this the only dim sum place open at 930 in the morning?!  What happened to the good old days when yum cha started early?

They have a few…More »

I had dim sum here with a few co-workers during a busy lunch hour.  Seems like they get pretty packed here around lunch time.

The dim sum was ok, but definitely not worth the jacked up prices.  I was told afterward that the other items on the menu was…More »

I remember this place being busy once many many years ago.  I would come here with my family and the line up would be out the door from 11am.  Like I said, many many years ago.

I showed up here on a weekend and it was only half packed by 12.…More »

Nice looking place that need a little more "sum" in their cooking.

Strangely, though as it was my first time I walked through the doors of Cindy's Palace  there was a familiar feeling as if I've been here before.  This locations had rotated owners a…More »
