Dim sum restaurant · Kensington-Chinatown

"White plastic tablecloths, neon window signs, and a no-fuss atmosphere? A Kensington Market hole-in-the-wall like Rol San doesn’t merely stay in business for thirty years without being excellent. The reliability of all-day dim sum and late night hours on weekends make this a go-to for those in search of Chinese classics. It's not fancy, but it's real. The crispy beef in ginger honey sauce, the General Tso's chicken, the piles on piles of perfectly dense rice, the house made hot chili sauce—it's a symphony of flavors, all prepared to perfection. The staff here are maestros of keeping the dining room moving. Plates come flying out of the kitchen with speed and precision. Torontonians have high standards when it comes to Chinese food, and Rol San's 30 years in business are testament that they not only meet, but set those standards." - Todd Plummer
