Ding Tai Fung Shanghai Dim Sum (鼎泰豐) located at 3235 Hwy 7, Unit #18B in Markham
I was feeling for some Shanghainese food and wanted to order takeout from the Golden Shanghai Restaurant at Kennedy and 14th Avenue (their peanut chicken rice sheets are SO good and they have amazing dinner combos), but it seems as if they are closed during the pandemic.
