Restaurants Montreal - Tong Sing

This is a good average Chinese restaurant in the middle of China town. Even though this place was recommended by someone Chinese it did not blow me away tastewise.

I am still looking for a great Chinese restaurant in Montreal, if anyone has any great suggestions!

Restaurants London - Dragon Castle

This is a chinese restaurant close to the Elephant & Castle Tube Station. It is one of the better Chinese restaurants of London. I would not recommend going out of your way for this place, but it is definitely one of the best restaurants in that area of London.

The decor is simple, but the food is tasty. We tried the whole sea bass (18.80 GBP) and several vegetable dishes. All were generally very good. Some perhaps had a little bit too much cornflour.

Restaurants San Francisco - City View Restaurant

This is a delicious upscale dim sum place in Chinatown (near the Transamerica building). Don't be disappointed if you get there and are expecting a great view, there is no view of the city, but you will have a great view of the delicious food that will be passing by on trollies.

It is one of the most delicious dim sum places I have been to. Even though London and New York have great China towns, I must say this place is one of the best I have tried.

They have a huge selection of dim sum. Many new and exciting dishes tempted my palate. We tried various dim sum: char siu bao (steamed barbecued pork dumpling), shaomai (prawn and pork), char siu sou, shrimp fun roll, chinese broccoli, peking duck and many more.

The value for money was also good. We were a large group and therefore were able to try many dishes, but everyone was definitely full at the end and we paid 20 USD per person including tip.

Restaurants London - Cha Cha Moon

This is a simple chinese noodle place in the same style as Wagamama, but a little better.

It is quite fun to watch the kitchen make the fresh noodles.

We sat on long benches and were served our food at a super quick speed. It was extremely cheap in the beginning (around 3 GBP per dish), but the prices have gone up (around 5-7 GBP per dish) so in comparison to places like Ran, it is no longer good value for money.

There are queues, but they move very quickly.

Restaurants Ottawa - Palais Imperial Chines Restaurant

This is a greasy spoon Chinese. Very simple and cheap!

 

The dim sum are ok. I guess very different from the Chinese restaurants in London where they keep on coming past with a huge selection of different dim sum. If you order the menu with pictures of the dim sum, you can ask for some dim sum which you will not find on the carts.

We had the usual B.B.Q pork bun, Lo Mai Gai (sticky rice), Shu Mai and beef with ginger. I would say simple, but ok for a quick lunch. We spent $20.29 CAD for two people and were full.
