Other than the tea is pretty good, dim sum are really so-so. IMO they're a bit oily... ...

I didnt like this place before cos they were heavy hand on MSG. Is it still the same now?

We've ordered 10 dim sums for 4 ppl:

1) Shrimp dumpling - fresh, taste ok;
2) Sui Mai - a bit puff, but the meat is fresh;
3) Congee w/ dried veggie & oyster - min. MSG than expected, taste pretty good;
4) Lau Sa Bun - see previous post;
5) Rice Roll w/ deep fried white carrots inside - too oily, you can see a layer of oil on dish after finish;
6) Beef brisket, stomach & tendon - hands down, the tai kon (white carrots) taste a bit weird...;
7) Steamed Taikon cake - another hands down, no carrot taste at all...;
8) Pork ribs rice w/ pumpkin - OK, but won't order again, can't taste the rib sauce in the rice...;
9) Mini Squid w/ Curry paste - so-so;
10) Chicken legs - bad, bone and skin are totally off

Comments: renovation looks better than before, waiter/ess service is pretty good, table settings is good, tea cups & bowls are huge but the design is "over" western. Dim sum sizes are standard. MSG level is minimal and ingredient freshiness is good for Richmond standard.

Since we went there early in the morning, there's 20% off. The bills is $52.00 incl. tips & HST.

Souns like it's worth a try. (since MSG level is not high)
I want to try: Siu mai, 咸水閣, rice roll with BBQ pork and hopefully they have "fun gor".
Since my bf doesn' t like Daikon anyway, we won't order them. (most bad items you listed has Daikon)
I will skip chicken feets and pork ribs then.

I don't like MSG either. I think the taste is okay but not outstanding.

Make sure you've reserved in advance, lineup is ~20 minutes unless you want to share table with others.

yea..I agreed... tried on Sat... not too impressive either..
1) lobster dumpling - taste so so..
2) Rice Roll w/ the crispy thingy - taste good.
3) Also tried Beef brisket, stomach & tendon - not much flavor.. not worth to try
4) Steam Ginger Egg (Dessert) - too watery
5) Egg tarts -- skin too thick..but still ok gei
6) Veggie Duck with 海“哲” -- taste ok, love the mushroom XD
and one more item...but i forgot..must be not impressive..

Their price set too high i think.. most of the dish i order cost 6.98 per dish.. not worth the money.. I still like Kirin (Starlight) and 海港 better~

different people have different taste la~ u should give it a try la~ I dun think 海港 is that bad.. in terms of service i think they are ok too..they never miss our orders..and maybe becoz i only go with my hubby.. so no need to fill tea/water so often?
