There is a new dim sum restaurant on the previous King Buffet location. It is very rare for a Chinese restaurant to be named after it’s chef; Chef Tony is the name of the restaurant.
We came on a Sunday morning. We arrived at 11:45am and was told the wait will be 30 minutes since we did not have a reservation.
The decoration of Chef Tony is modern and the paint work is very shiny, not typical of dim sum restaurant. Do not be misled by these empty waiting seats. They were occupied most of the time.
The entrance is decorated with photos of Chef Tony with some celebrities, I presumed.
We waited for almost an hour before we got our table. So, reservation is highly recommended if you decided to give this restaurant a try.
The charge for tea is $2 per person is a little steep. We had Chrysanthemum tea.
We spent our waiting time browsing through the menu which has lots of pictures. You can click on the menu to have a larger view.
We ordered 6 items to share but when one of the item was missing. We just let it go.
Fried Glutinous Rice with mushroom and Chinese sausage from the chef choices. The rice was al-dante as it should be but the serving is small for $8.95.
More after the jump. Click to read the rest of Chef Tony in Richmond (155 words)
