I'm going to write my first restaurant review today. We had dim sum at a new Chinese Restaurant in Scarborough - Casa Deluz. Located at McCowan & Finch. This huge place has gone through at least 3 make-overs in the last 15-20 years. In fact, hubby & I had our wedding banquet here 15 years ago (under a previous name). It was busy for a Tuesday but we were seated within 20 minutes. Placed our order for some dim-sum must haves plus a few items we thought would be worth trying. Took about 15 minutes for the first dish to arrive but everything else came out promptly afterwards. Excellent ratings for the shrimp dumplings (har gow) - very large by Chinese Restaurant standards - and the Bean Curd Wrap (seen jook guen) - steamed just right without the gooey sauce so many restaurants serve it in. I would also give an excellent rating to the steamed beef balls, almond pudding, papaya infused cake, beef short ribs, Chiu Chow Dumplings, and the Fried Shrimp Wraps With Thousand Island Dip. Everything else I would rate good except for the Pan Fried Turnip (Lo Bak Goh) - this dish was too doughy and not enough turnip taste. The cost was reasonable with 12 plates costing $60 (this is with taxes and tip) with no discounts.
The decor was good and the staff was attentive even though it was busy. I would definitely go back to try their dinner menu.
