I love going to Cheung Hing for dimsum because it's one of the few places where they bring out the dimsum carts for you to order. When you're seated, they'll still provide you with a menu so you can order that way if it's more comfortable, but I love the traditional dimsum carts.
I came here with my sister and my husband this past weekend for lunch. The plaza does get crowded around lunch, so I typically try to go early to get a parking spot. The restaurant doesn't get too crowded like other places, so we were able to get seated quickly after arriving and we were handed a menu to order our food. We ordered beef meatballs, siu mai, beef rice rolls, chicken feet, fried rice, taro buns, salted egg yolk buns, and matcha buns.
Our food came out quickly one by one. We first got our siu mai, which was nice, juicy, and flavorful. We also got our beef rice rolls, which were doused in soy sauce. The rice rolls were nice, chewy, and tasted super fresh. When our beef meatballs came out, the server kindly cut them for us so that it would be easier to eat them. The beef meatballs were also very large, juicy, and had a decent amount of herbs and garlic to spice them up. Our chicken feet were nicely cooked with a gelatinous texture from the collagen. None of us were very big fans of the fried rice because it was so salty, but at least the rice itself was nice and fluffy to eat. The desserts were amazing! We were getting full by the time we got to the buns, but they were so delicious that we were able to appreciate their flavor. The matcha buns had a crispy exterior, a mochi-like chew to the bun, and a nutty, earthy matcha filling. The taro bun was also really good with a thick, slightly sweet taro paste inside and a sugary topping on the bun that reminded my sister and me of concha pastries. The salted egg yolk bun was probably my least favorite but it was still really good with a runny, salted egg yolk filling and a fluffy and soft bun exterior.
The price for everything was really reasonable, especially if you take into account the portion sizes. The service is quick and you can even ask waiters for help with ordering if needed. (Last time we were here, we were able to order Mongolian beef even though it wasn't on the menu. The restaurant is super accommodating! The Mongolian beef was also impressive because the meat was so soft and tender and the plate wasn't filled with onions, which tends to happen at restaurants these days.) Because the restaurant isn't too crowded, it's easy to have a conversation with friends as you eat your dimsum and you don't have to worry too much about waiting to get a seat for lunch on the weekend. I really love getting dimsum and CheungHing is usually one of my top spots due to the food quality, good service, and the calm atmosphere.
