New Treasure

Not the best dim sum I have had, but very cheap. The place is no frills, the service is a bit slow, but I still enjoyed my lunch. And for the price, it was decent.

The price is right but the place located in a basement, the food was hot and fast but not of great quality. The dim sum menu was limited even though that’s the main thing they offer «all day dim sum». I had the pork buns (badly formed and ok flavor), the steamed shrimp balls which were good, the fried shrimp balls (good) and the pork ribs, which were average. The green tea was also not that hot or good.

Liked this place a lot! Great service, attendant remembered favorite dish from the day before, read my mind in an instant. Food tastes the way it should, everything ordered was well prepared. And fair prices to top it all.
Will return when I get the chance. Cheers!

If greasy, tasteless food is what you like, then run, don’t walk to New Treasure. Had dinner here last night with a friend and it was possibly the worst dim sum I’ve ever had the misfortune of eating.
We ordered 5 different dishes and quite honestly couldn’t tell what we were actually being served. Each plate was as indistinct as the next. The dim sum dishes had little to no differentiating flavours and every thing was swimming in grease. The most disappointing dishes were the pan fried eggplant stuffed with shrimp along with the tofu stuffed with shrimp. I’m not sure what the hell they did with the shrimp, but it was a colourless, tasteless blob stuffed into both the eggplant and the tofu. Seriously, salt anyone? Herbs? Like any kind seasoning?!
The only edible dish was the broccoli served with oyster sauce (I guess it would be pretty difficult to cock up a steamed vegetable dish).
The Tsingtao beers were the highlight of the meal.
The décor, or lack thereof, along with the permeating fish odour did little to improve this already disastrous meal.
I will never darken the doorstep of this establishment again.
All of the yuck!

RUN away if you can before you go inside.
If I could give it less stars than one I would.
The place stinks of seafood. Probably the worst meal I’ve ever had in my life… it is terrible… we took a few bites of a couple of items and the waitress never came to our table once to ask us how everything was or anything no wonder she was afraid to because it would tell her the truth the food is horrible. Best part of the meal was the beer !

Yummy food, super fresh and good prices, very friendly staff. The décor is simple but the place is spotless and the beer is extra cold.
I had the sweat and sour shrimp and it was delicious.
Recommend!

A no frills Chinese restaurant. I came here twice two years ago while visiting Toronto and my dad and I enjoyed the food here. Rating this amongst other non-​fancy Chinese restaurants.
Sat down to eat again this year and still found the food quite good. The dish with beans and pork was definitely cooked with high heat («wok hei»)and very tasty with garlic! This was from their special menu where dishes are $ 6.95, and most of the dishes are catered to the North American palate. They serve dimsum here as well which is interesting for dinner but all-​day dimsum seems to be a trend here in TO. I was looking for a beancurd dish but all the ones on the main menu were actually soft tofu, so ordered off the dimsum menu. It was good and meaty. I love that sauce.
Wouldn’t recommend this for a fancy date, just a casual meal. Old-​fashioned décor with plastic bag-​like tablecloths. Nothing out of the ordinary if you have been to Hong Kong/​China before. It’s very dead inside so they might just rely on delivery/​takeout for business.

I didn’t eat in — just did a pick up order. The food was good and it was easy to place the order over the phone — I had to look online for a menu. Prices were cheap and it was ready fast.
I recommend the General Tsao’s here as I often end up with it being too sweet — at this place it wasn’t — it was just right with lots of meat.

I had dinner here with my dad recently. The food was ok.
We had the Cantonese Chow Mein ($ 8), the General Tao Chicken ($ 6.95) and an order of steamed rice ($ 1.50).
Now I don’t like salty foods and my usual complaint is that food is too salty, but even I thought that the Cantonese Chow Mein could have used some more salt. It was so incredibly bland. I honestly think the chef forgot to add the salt. Other than the blandness though, it wasn’t bad. It was full of toppings. It had lots of baby bok choy, chicken, BBQ pork, squid and canned mushrooms. It also had 2 shiitake mushrooms and 3 shrimps. The noodles were crispy and the gravy was a good consistency (not too gelatinous like it is at some places). The toppings tasted fresh and would have been excellent if the dish wasn’t so bland.
The General Tao Chicken was good. It came with green peppers and onions. The sauce was sweet and tangy and didn’t have a strong Hoisin sauce taste like some General Tao Chicken does (which I don’t like). It wasn’t as crispy as I like though and it wasn’t all that hot (temperature). I like steam coming out of my food! It wasn’t all that spicy hot either.
The steamed rice was good. It wasn’t mushy or dry.
Service was excellent. The servers were nice and attentive.
This place is great for a cheap meal. Prices are lower than food court prices and quality is much better than food court quality. Décor is typical mid-​range Chinese restaurant décor with plastic table cloths that are piled on top of each other and they remove the top one after each customer. Lots of red and pictures of dragons and the «double happiness» Chinese character abound.
This place is hidden away in a basement. It’s next to the Starbucks that’s at the corner of Dundas and Elizabeth Street, near the bus station. There’s no parking lot, so street parking only.

Been here twice now and can’t really complain. This is good but not amazing dim sum near my work so I will gladly go for the convenience! Also love that they have the push carts which makes it easier for my non-​dim sum eating coworkers to see what each dish is before we order. The quality is good — Siu Mai and Lo Baht Go (pan fried turnip cake for all of you proficient in English descriptions of Chinese food) are excellent, BBQ pork buns, sticky rice, and Har gow are good, and noodle dishes are meh. Don’t bother ordering the Shanghai noodles. The noodles were in small pieces, it was overly salty and a bit mushy, and also spicy (who makes Shanghai noodles spicy)?!
Both times, splitting the bill has worked out to about $ 15pp with tax and tip.
Obviously no comparison to places up north in terms of price and quality, but this is a solid dim sum restaurant and I will probably be back every few weeks!

Let me start by saying I’m no dim sum expert but I like food and my taste buds work. I was happy with my experience there.
I enjoyed the variety of food carts that came around.
The place appears sketchy because of its location (basement restaurant on Dundas St W) but my experience with these hideaways is normally really good food.
My only complaint was my $ 30+ bill. Wouldn’t have been bad but I was alone. I didn’t realize all these little dishes would add up.
Will definitely go back. Food was really good. My faves: chicken feet, and the shrimp rolls.

I’ve passed by this place numerous of times. I keep thinking this place is very sketch because it’s located at the basement of the subway on Dundas street so I was a little skeptical when my Co workers wanted to eat here. To my surprised it was actually really good and the this place still rolled the dim sum in carts!
I haven’t seen that in years. It’s banned from all resturant uptown.
The food was good and cheap! Oh I will be back here for more!!!

We had a great time at New Treasure. The food was great, good service and we came away *stuffed* for $ 15. Very convenient location makes it a good place to drop in for a quick dim sum fix.

This being my first time in Toronto, I wanted some good authentic Dim Sum as I walked around the city. This place had good reviews, so I tried it out and I was disappointed. The service-​was just okay. The restaurant itself was in a cool spot. The Dim Sum-​nothing special. The décor-​common. I excepted better, honestly. The prices-​not bad, tho!!!
**Note: If you are dating someone with a mediocre taste pallet, they Never had Dim Sum before and you are pretty much low on cash then this place is not so bad… Just know that there better Dim Sum out there, OK!
So, check it… I ordered the BBQ pork buns, which were not the best but… I also got their shrimp and pork dumplings, which was not bad. The hot tea was good and the beef short ribs were tasty… But I wasn’t satisfied to say the least… you feel me?

Very good dim sum and quite authentic. Dropped by for lunch on a Friday so it was busy but they accommodated our group. I like that they still have the carts! And they came around pretty frequently so we were never waiting. There was a good variety and the food was pretty decent. The prices are very reasonable.

Rating: 2.5
Dim sum was very average. Some was not as good as what I’ve tasted from other dim sum restaurants.

This is the kind of place I would walk by and never pay attention too. It is low priced dim sum and its underground. Overall, I think its fair.
Not a place I would show someone around Toronto, but with some good company, it makes for a nice cheap lunch.

New Treasure has a few good things going for it… however décor is definitely not one of them. In fact, if you look up and find the phrase «drab, pedestrian décor» in the dictionary you will find the quote, «please do not put a photo of New Treasure here, we have way more class than that joint.»
Although in fairness, most places in Chinatown tend to be very much alike, however the one difference is that at least those other places have windows to speak of which allow a dash of sunlight to flow in.
New Treasure is underground and well hidden from street view. However this Dim Sum joint has one thing going for it: Reasonable okay flavour for the price — which, just happens to be dirt cheap. Thus New Treasure is HUGE with the local office-​minion-​lunch crowd, so expect possible waiting times for your fix during midday.
To be honest, there are a number of places within a 15 – 20 minute walk which offer better Dim Sum, not to mention in a better atmosphere and offer a much larger selection…
BUT if you are in a rush and just want to get a quick fix, this place will do, and it seems that all the 1-​Hour-​Luch office workers who are employed nearby seem to think so too. :P

The dimsum menu is extremely small and there’s not really push kart, so I was really disappointed (I posted the menu up on photos). The staples like har gow, siu mai, chicken feet, pork ribs are all there and good, though a little salty. The pork ribs with rice is really good. They dont use bamboo steamers so the food is a little dry as well. They don’t have custard buns, so i was super sad.
We ordered about 6 dishes and the total was $ 18 after tax before tip.
It’s okay — I’m still searching for the best dimsum.

Was taking the greyhound home and craved dim sum so I took Unilocal’s recommendation and tried this place. the basement restaurant is very no-​frills but the food makes up for the lack of décor. Service was really good, the lady was super nice and constantly said thank you. We ordered for two:
6 dim sum dishes
Chinese mushroom and tofu hotpot w/​rice
The dim sums were average… note that we went at 5pm so it was order off a menu, I read somewhere that if you go at Lunchtime it’s Cartservice. The ones worth mentioning are the curry squid and the BBQ pork buns. Sooo yummy!
The hotpot was tasty too, we couldn’t finish but wish we had the stomach!
Overall, would recommend to others looking for a quick and cheap dim sum fix.
