Zoelicious, Oakville - still consistently fresh and high quality Cantonese dim sum

Continuing the discussion from Pearl Harbourfront Chinese Cuisine [Toronto] - dim sum with a view:

A few visits later, this small, light and airy cafe nestled in a newer residential development at the northern edge of Oakville has continued to deliver the most high quality fare across all the dim sum and noodle dishes we have tried. Everything arrives quickly and is flavourful, piping hot and fresh. The shrimp are always plump and crisp. Bao are fluffy, turnip cakes are smooth, and there is never a hint of reused oil.

No congee, but it’s worth the jaunt for us given this restaurant’s quality, and better consistency than the multiple places we’ve tried even in York Region. No dedicated parking but street parking is available which extends down the road in both directions. Haven’t tried the pre-order menu which includes dishes more typical of a Cantonese seafood restaurant, but anticipate it would be solid as well given the obvious skill in the kitchen.

Just to clarify the above, I meant that the parking is available on both sides of the road, south of the restaurant. Of the pictured dishes, the one I was unsure whether it came out as intended was the green bun filled with purple yam - but in between there was a thin layer of pale, seemingly raw-ish dough. Didn’t significantly affect my experience though.

How is the vegetarian selection?

I have some family in the area who would be thrilled for great dim sum, but they’re majority vegetarian.

Unfortunately @Saregama I would say it’s limited - there may be a few more vegetarian items in the non-dim sum menu, but the ‘vegetarian’ dim sum selections are basically the sweet items.
