What people say, in short
Commenters repeatedly recommend Rol San for dim sum on Spadina. One enthusiast singles out the fried squid, while others simply name it as their pick. Late-night dining appears in the recommendations, including one diner who rates it decent. A longtime admirer notes that they have not visited recently, so the praise is not all based on recent meals.
