Yeah that's right, the once near extinction fad is back. They actually have an a la carte tick/check menu since they provide you with the paper. Basically if you don't find something you want from the push carts you can order it.

I greatly miss the food cart dimsum scene. They even have those oldschool colourful jello with the tiny Umbrella on it, and the deep fried white-washed wonton with gwai-lo sauce.

The food is standard fare much like many other joints but they have a few different specials that's specific to them. The food is not too salty, the Siu Mai is REGULAR size not fist size. Food wise I'd rate it 7/10. As for service I'd rate it 7/10 as well (typical chinese joint) but, it's their first day so I don't know. The funny thing is, almost all the old workers are back.

Overall I'd rate this joint 7/10 but it has push-cart so I'd give it an 8.
you know, I don't know how good it is, but I go to continental on 5 and cambie for dimsum, and it's push cart.

But from what I understand all dimsum's essentially bought frozen in vancouver.

I heard there is a place in HK with 1 michilen star and its a dimsum place, dirt cheap too. I want to try it haha.
