Full House Chinese Cuisine 炳勝農家菜 is a simple authentic restaurant serving Dim Sum 點心
and Chinese food. We usually come here for dim sum and haven’t really try its dinner options.
Anyhow, the interior is simple. Nothing fancy and not high-end about it but it serves good authentic, traditional and no gimmicky dim sum at a very good price.
The interior is your typical old traditional mama-papa Chinese restaurant. Interior looks dated and table cloth and chairs are dated as well. However, I don’t mind as it’s nostalgic and I prefer it keep the costs of the dim sum and other dinner dishes down vs renovated it up to fancy and then charge me more $ for each dish. I am here for a good time and not a long time so I can live with dated interior. Good food speaks for itself anyways.
Instead of listing small, medium, large or XL size like other restaurants, all dim sum here are same price at $4.98 CDN + tax (Mondays – Fridays), which is super good price especially during this inflated food industry in Toronto. Trust me, when the majority items are the same price, it’s definitely cheaper and less confusing from all different size pricing. If you want some fancier dim sum 點心 items such as seafood dumplings with dried scallop broth or steam beef tripe, it’s $5.98 CDN, which is still better pricing than many other competitors.
Saturdays, Sundays & Holidays, the regular dim sum prices is at $5.28 CDN, which is super reasonable as well.
You can also order stir fry items such as yang fried rice, crispy noodles, ho fun, and other soup noodles, ranging from reasonable $6.50 to $13.00+ CDN.
The Har Gao, Siu Mai, the usual suspects were very good, nice & piping steamy hot, just the way we like it.
The pork bone congee had nice amount of dried fish and peppery flavour in it which is what it supposed to be.
My dad wanted to try the pig stomach with black pepper ginkgo in soup. It has good amount of pig stomach and since the black pepper were used, it took away the unwanted pork gamey smell, so that’s a major plus.
I highly recommend you with the seafood dumpling with conpoy (dried scallop) with soup broth. Good amounts of dried scallop, shrimps, pork, normal scallops in the dumpling. Very worth the $5.98 CDN. You surely don’t want to share with anyone and eat it yourself, so I recommend you each order one.
The curry squid was a tasty sauce, not too hot but had enough heat. Only issue was…the squid were a bit overcooked, so it’s not as juicy and tender. That curry sauce was addictive, would be perfect to be used on noodles, fish balls and beef brisket.
Beef Mix that include beef stomach, liver and radish. Coupled with the chili oil mix was perfect combo.
Deep Fried Shrimp Wonton with mayo dipping sauce.
Tea per person is $2.00 CDN, which is fair.
If you are looking for some authentic traditional dim sum, Full House Chinese Cuisine is a great place in Scarborough.
Plenty of free parking space at this plaza.
