Zoelicious 粤滋味

Cute little shop. Dim sum was really delicious. Notes were spot on. but I feel like it is not equipped to handle a business day of food service. I would recommend to do the take out or pick up for the food. That is what we are going do next time around.

Zoelicious is such a hidden gem! This small and quaint spot has all the cozy café vibes and Instagram-worthy decor you could want. It’s the perfect mix of stylish and inviting—ideal for a date, a catch-up with friends, or just treating yourself. We came here on New Year’s Day and were so glad we could make a reservation. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better. We decided to go all in on the dim sum menu and tried almost everything—it was a feast! Every bite was so fresh, you could really taste the quality. If it’s your first time visiting, I highly recommend sampling as much of the dim sum menu as you can. Zoelicious checks all the boxes: great vibes, amazing food, and warm service. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon!

Drive past farmland and suddenly you’ll hit a small oasis of homes with a facade of small retail stores. At the corner you will find Zoelicious. It’s literally in the middle of nowhere. Parking is limited to the street but the small selection of dim sum is worth it. The restaurant is quite small and cramped with tables but light and airy from the surrounding windows. We came on a Thursday for lunch and we were only one of two tables. My friend and I ordered 5 dishes. We started with the classic Steamed Shrimp Dumplings ($5.99) which had a good amount of plump shrimp. Next up, the Beef Rice Roll ($5.99) was a surprise. My taste buds were surprised by hits of cilantro and the crunch of water chestnut. There was a good amount of savoury beef. Nothing stood out about the Pork & Shrimp Dumplings (Shumai) ($5.49) but they were good. Pork knuckles are a childhood memory for my friend so she enjoyed the Braised Pork Knuckles w/Red Fermented Bean Curd ($5.99). They had a soft, tender texture with a bit of chew. With the tasty sauce we sucked the bones clean. I learned this dish symbolizes luck and fortune which is something I think we could all use. For our finale we had Egg Yolk Sesame Balls ($4.99). They were crisp on the outside, followed by a soft and chewy dough. In the middle was an oozing salted egg yolk custard that was slightly sweet and lightly salty. I think it’s now my favourite type of sesame ball.

Zoeylicious in Oakville - A dim sum place you absolutely cannot miss before the end of 2024! The best authentic dim sum ever! Ordered and tried all of it! The owner is always such a delight to speak with, incredibly accommodating, and so kind to her customers! Make sure to try the Sesame Ball with Egg Yolk and their Mango dessert – you won’t regret it! 😋

Great variety of dim sum with good quality and decent portion. Not super spacious but very clean and vibrant. Worth a visit for sure!
