Simple, tasty Chinese fare for folks on the hunt for a hit of Asian or craving off-hour dim sum. Where else for crack-of-dawn fried squid tentacles? Special mention to the flaky egg tarts.
I have been going to this place since I can remember. It is not located at the best spot, but has built a reputation for its cheap and delicious dim sum!
Usually I go on weekends where the food is usually served on a cart that is being pushed around and you get to decide whether or not you will be daring enough to try that "interesting" looking item.
The best thing about Tremendous I believe, is their egg tarts that are made with a flaky pastry, fresh and piping hot! Sometimes I can't wait till for dessert and order them halfway through my meal...because they do go fast!
The service is good, with many waiters/waitresses to get whatever you need without any frustrations.
Best part is, if you go after 1:30pm on weekends, the dim sum gets ultra cheap and thats when most people arrive!
What can be better than cheap food? :)
I loveTremendous! The food in my opinion, is fantastic. However,it is a required taste so if you're into that fake North-American chinese food then you probably won't enjoy it. However, if you like real chinese food or you're an an adventurous eater, you'll like this place.
I've been coming here for over 10 years. The prices are great and the Dim Sum is always fresh and really good. I've tried many other places for Dim Sum and this is still the best. I only go for lunch it's always busy, especially on the weekends. Never bee there late at night.

It was 8:30 pm and we had been moving all day. A few co-workers consistently rave about this place so we decided to give it a try.
My first impression was not good, the waiter spit on the floor while leading us to our table. The dishes were dirty, the tea was cold and the staff were rude.
When the waiter brought the food out he threw the plates on to the table. The wonton, although plentiful, was flavourless. The same goes for the fried rice. The chow mein was soggy and had multiple short hairs in it. Needless to say, we didn't eat it.
This is by far the worst chinese food in Canada!!
I've been at Tremendous quite a few times, but I will never eat there again. The last time I went, I was seated infront of the bar and got a very good view of their practice. The bartender received the used water glasses after their customers leave. This man poured out the remaining water (somewhere) and simply refilled them on the counter for the next table. I couldn't believe it when I saw it because he saw me watching him and still tried to be sly about it. If they do that out in the open, imagine what happens in the kitchen.
