Where is it in BR? I've lived here for years, and never knew there was one. If it's any good, I'd like to go check it out.

Off Airline on Delcourt, just short of Bennie's B-Qwik. There is an Enterprise car rental in an old Der Weinerschnitzel and a medical supply place in an old chicken place on the corner..right behind there.

To be fair I haven't been in years, it was hit-and-miss with me. Don't go expecting SF, NYC, Sea, Port, Vanc grade dim sum, or carts..but you will see Asians eating there sometimes(always a good sign,) if there is a single customer in there.

It is the one BR restraunt that never has cars there, I've been amazed they've lasted..almost wondered if the place was a front for something?

It's been so many years since trying, despite close proximity, that I can't honestly or fairly say. I'll go next week and give you my opinion.

Chinese Inn, it also off Airline, is garbage today though when compared to it's '70s, '80s, and early '90s glory, been sold too many times, lost it's chefs and flow.

Chateau Rouge's buffet is even worse than it's predecessor, and it doesn't make any sense the money they spent to actually make it tackier and uglier than before..as it was ok.

BR is a Chinese Restraunt Wasteland!

Might have to go walk and get some dim sum today! Either that or a 1/2 duck from the meat shop! Nothing better than the sight of seeing those nice crispy ducks hanging in the store window!!!

it's pretty good...i usually get the flat noodles with pork and/or shrimp. the dumplings are good, as well as the rice cake/pudding dish with meat inside.

Flat Noodles, steamed BBQ buns, an assortment of mystery meats, sticky rice in lotus, etc etc etc. You order from a small picture book. I ususally get 5 or 6 small plates for the wife and I to share.

It is always empty except weekends where it is filled with Chinese folks.

It is a true hidden gem.

I think the food is ok and taste better than the one in Toronto, Canada. Eventhough the Dim Sum in toronto was huge and have people push the food cart around for u to pick at the table but it wasn't that good like the one in B.R so try it out...u might like it. They only busy during the sunday afternoon around after church, if u like the crowd u can go tomorrow.
