Pleasure Ocean offers traditional Cantonese seafood and dim sum in a pleasant atmosphere.
Their dim sum selection is extensive and includes both traditional favorites as well as several items that are not commonly found in other restaurants or are unique to them. Unfortunately this visit, a few items that seemed interesting were lined out on the order form and were unavailable. That said, the dishes we ordered were excellent across the board. Among the traditional items that are really well done: char siu bao (steamed and baked), pork with black bean sauce, pork blood with green onion, roast pork (on the expensive side but absolutely worth it), baked pork buns, choy sum, coconut and black rice pastry, egg tarts, and more. To begin with, the quality of the pork and other meats is readily apparent; the BBQ pork used in the char siu bao and other dishes is neither too sweet nor salty. The roast pork, while more expensive compared to elsewhere, is equally well done with a nice, crunchy skin and good balance of meat and fat. The plating shows they take pride in their meat. The dough in their dim sum is among the lightest I've ever eaten in any Cantonese restaurant. We ordered over ten dishes and while we did pack a few to take home, we did not leave the restaurant feeling heavy and bloated.
Service is very good and staff are fairly easy to get hold of. Granted it gets a little hectic during peak times on a weekend, but still we did not encounter any issue when we needed service. As said earlier, prices are a little higher here, particularly when ordering certain dishes. However, the overall quality of the food, the ingredients, plus a nice somewhat luxurious atmosphere make it worthwhile.
