While exploring Chinatown, we were drawn in Kan’s for lunch by a hawker standing outside. We were a little skeptical but were pleasantly surprised and had a lot of fun.
The restaurant is located on the second floor and has a beautiful dining room. The room has a very high ceiling with almost floor to ceiling windows. The tables are covered with white tablecloths, napkins and china. Upon sight of the dining room we instantly thought we were underdressed. Looking around eased our mind as most the customers were tourists and dressed casual like us.

The restaurant is located on the second floor and has a beautiful dining room. The room has a very high ceiling with almost floor to ceiling windows. The tables are covered with white tablecloths, napkins and china. Upon sight of the dining room we instantly thought we were underdressed. Looking around eased our mind as most the customers were tourists and dressed casual like us.
There was a comprehensive menu of Chinese dishes but we went with the dim sum they were serving for lunch. It was kind of confusing since none of us has ever had dim sum before. The waitresses come by with large platters filled with plates of different appetizers. If you want what they have you let them know and they give you a plate and the appropriate sauces. They then stamp a ticket on your table to keep account of how much and what you have ordered. It was difficult for us to keep track of how much the meal was costing but luckily we didn’t care. If you are watching a budget or have a specific limit, this might be a difficult place to eat. If you had the menu in your hand when the waitress came by, you could quickly find what she was offering on the menu to see if it was in your price range. If there is a specific dish you want, you can ask a waitress but it seemed to be mostly luck of the draw. The couple next to us ordered off the menu and initially seemed to have a little difficulty.
When their food arrived, it was what they ordered and looked delicious. There was also a bit of a language barrier between us and the staff which made things a little harder. If you are in Chinatown, this should be expected and in my opinion adds to the experience. Overall, this was a great dining experience. The food was great and the staff was pleasant. It is definitely a unique experience if you have never eaten dim sum this way.
