Rol San Restaurant

A great dim sum spot in China-town. Lots of variety of dishes, although I tend to learn towards the seafood (shrimp, crab) and noodle dishes. I wish they had the crab claw item, but their fried shrimp wontons, and shrimp rice noodles are great. One of the highlights is always the black/brown sauce that comes with the rice noodles.

This was my first time trying dim sum, and this was a great place to try it! I don't quite remember which items we had got because I am writing this review a year later. All of the dumplings I got were delicious. The price was great for the little bites you get. The place was quite busy when we sat down, so it was a while before we got served. Found it funny how they had a bunch of disposable table cloths ready to go, as well.

This restaurant is an absolute gem for authentic Chinese cuisine! The menu offers a wide variety of dishes; Whether you’re craving dim sum, sizzling plates, or hearty soups, they have it all. The service here is exceptional—servers are always attentive, making sure your water glass is never empty and checking in regularly without being intrusive. They truly go above and beyond to accommodate every need, making you feel valued. Another bonus is that this place stays open later than most other restaurants in the area, making it a perfect spot for late-night cravings. I only gave a 4/5 rating because, on my last visit, the food wasn’t quite as good as it usually is. However, this could be due to various factors, such as a possible chef change or an off day. Regardless, it’s still a fantastic spot with great service, so I will be returning again!

If you’re looking for large shrimp and large portion dim sum all day, this is your place. Super nice they provide tea on the house and all service was very nice. Unfortunately, not enough space for traditional rolling carts. Know in advance they only accept cash or Visa. Finding parking can be tricky.

Food: 5 Stars Service: 5 Stars Ambience: 5 Stars Value: 5 Stars Overall: 5 Stars Rol San has been one of my favourite dim sum spots in the city for as long as I can remember. I’ve been coming here since I was a baby, and my family has known the owner for such a long time. This long-standing relationship has led to the staff members knowing us by name, always providing an optimal experience with a personal touch. The dim sum at Rol San is always flavourful and delicious. My absolute favourite is the deep-fried squid tentacles paired with their unbeatable in-house hot sauce. Every bite is a delightful burst of flavour that keeps me coming back. The quality of the food here is consistently top-notch, and you can tell that the chefs put a lot of care into each dish. Since Rol San moved to their new location, I’ve noticed a few changes. The dim sum menu has gotten smaller, which was a bit disappointing at first since I loved the variety they used to offer. However, the quality remains excellent, and I’m hopeful that they will expand the menu again in the future. The new location has a modern feel, but I do miss the charm of the old place. Love the new expansions, fixed the seating issues and brought back a lot of the menu items we missed in the past. The combination of fantastic food, familiar faces, and a welcoming atmosphere keeps me coming back time and time again. The staff's attention to detail and the personalized service we receive make every visit special. If you’re looking for a great dim sum experience with consistently delicious food, Rol San is definitely worth a visit. xx kellychan360

When I first came to Toronto 6 years ago, a friend took me here for dinner and I've been a big fan since. I love love love the food, it's always hot (this is a crucial factor for me) and delicious, the staff is very welcoming and helpful, and the atmosphere is homey. I've tried other restaurants but none beats this one - this is my absolute favorite <3

We wanted dim sum and decided to go here. We are visiting from the states for the weekend. First impression when we walked in, wow it’s busy! Food must be good! It’s always a plus when we see restaurants filled with Asians. We waited for a bit and sat down. We waited 15-20 minutes before a server finally came over to take our order. We ordered hot and sour soup. The waiter said our hot and sour soup is sweet. Ummm so it’s hot and sweet soup? We should have just stuck to congee. But no we continued to order the soup anyways. It was sweet like he said and we only took a few bites. Definitely do not recommend it. Only if you like your soup sweet. The dim sum we ordered was good! Shrimp dumplings, chicken feet and shrimp rice rolls. There are so many choices of dim sum in Chinatown and we won’t be returning back here in the future.

I've had dim sum from Rol San many times over the last few years. The dim sum is yummy and tastes fresh. The prices are average. Customer service could be better; the waiters are pretty curt and rude. I recommend ordering take out rather than dining in.
