I was out with a couple of friends two weekends ago, and they decided to go up to Perfect Chinese Restaurant for some late night dim sum. Perfect Chinese Restaurant is a restaurant on Sheppard Ave E & Brimley Rd, and it's open 24 hours. They offer cheap cart services during regular dim sum hours on both the weekdays and weekends. However, during the late night hours, the prices jump a little bit, but it's still relatively cheap.
The dim sum quality was average but good enough for its low price point. The dinner didn't start off very well, as our fried radish cake was dry and lukewarm. It definitely
tasted like it was microwaved but very quickly so. One of my friends
politely requested that we get a new dish as the dish was pretty much inedible. The
waiter didn't really say much, but he did take it back, and gave us a
freshly made dish
afterwards. The top dishes of the night were the fried noodle Shanghai
style, steamed sweet creamy bun, and deep fried squid tentacle. Unfortunately, the steamed beef ribs were disappointing as there were barely any meat on the beef ribs. It was literally just a plate containing steamed fats and bones.
The staff at Perfect Chinese Restaurant weren't the friendliest or most welcome, but they were efficient. They quickly seated us, and the food arrived pretty fast too. Additionally, our waiter was accommodating when we requested for a new dish of fried radish cake, and he gave us a bunch of different sauces (that we asked for). Overall, this is one of the few late night eateries in the area, and it's a decent place if you want cheap food after a night out.
The late night menu offers the standard dim sum items, and it's not very extensive.

Fried noodle Shanghai style ($9.50)
Shium mai (pork & shrimp) ($2.70 x 2)
