What people say, in short
People recommend Wah Lok at the Carlton Hotel as a solid upscale Cantonese option, and one diner lists it among their favourites for dim sum. Several commenters note it is pricey, and one suggests dim sum is cheaper than dinner. The dim sum draws mixed views: one diner who tried it recently found it decent but thinks the regular dishes are better, and another who ate dim sum in Hong Kong thought those were no better than Wah Lok's. One diner goes further, saying it is fine but a waste to go there for dim sum.
