No where in N.A. can compare with us. That's why every time when I travel to USA. I won't eat Chinese because they make shit and very dirty as well. Food is cheap in Canada as well.

The one I always eat in usually has someone performing music there (as pictured above), so it's certainly not a "deathly silent" room when I go. In fact, I find it to be a very comfortable atmosphere. Were you dining in the same room when you went? The prices are high, but I still enjoy dining there for the variety and quality of the dishes. While there are a few items that really should be permanently removed from the menu (namely the bunny), I'm fairly satisfied with the food at Mission 261. I'm surprised you got cold food. I have burned myself from eating some of the foods there. Since I've always had only good experiences dining at Mission 261, I appreciate you sharing some constructive criticisms. I'll be looking out for them the next time I dine there. There are different rooms at Mission 261.

The prices are outrageous, and by the time the dish gets placed on the table, it's already cold. The cheung fun (don't know what it's called in English) was not smooth and slippery as it should be. And who wants to eat dim sum in that deathly silent room anyway? By the way, I had that bunny, and when I bit into it, the sweet yellowish filling squished out the rear end, and well, you can imagine what I was thinking.

Don't hate me for this but I don't like the bunny-shaped dumplings. The dumpling skin is too thick for my taste, and the filling isn't very flavorful. Ok, running to duck and cover now as I await the repercussions of my blurb above. Oh SoCalorie… Don’t hate me for this but I don’t like the bunny-shaped dumplings.

I've sat in that room before too and it's palatial compared to most dim sum joints. I almost feel like I'm eating in a 5-star hotel in Singapore because its so clean and spacious. And it's true, nobody ever stands up yells, "More cow bell" at the yang ching player. Am we to surmise that you didn’t get the dim sum shaped like baby bunnies?
