"Considered to be one of the best places for Dim Sum in the city, Silver Dragon is another great option for a food adventure.

If you go on the weekend, there can be a line-up but once you’re seated you get to start eating right away.Note: I’ve been told that Silver Dragon does not have the best washrooms and are lacking change tables."
