Riding on past glory - King's Garden?

King's Garden Chinese Cuisine used to be one of the best places to have dimsum on a weekend morning in Toronto. Still at 214 King W just across from the Roy Thomson Hall, it seemed to disappoint a little this Sunday. Perhaps it had to do with the high expectations it commanded or the fact that they had changed the menu since I was last there. While innovation is commendable, in this particular case it might have been at the expense of a formula that worked just too well. The quality is still respectable, but it set me back by about $30 for what I would consider a premium price to pay for an A-minus in an increasingly competitive market for dimsum in the rapidly expanding TO.
