The restaurant Asian Legend (in Toronto) offers decent Chinese food with a modern decoration. Some of the food is presented in an interesting way such as rolled onion pancake with sliced Beef (feel like burrito).Other interesting dim sum such as 絲瓜瑤柱湯包: Dumplings filled with dried scallops, pork and luffa. It looks green, I guess because the dumpling skin is made of luffa. Very juicy inside because the pork fat melts after steaming. Although as a Shanghainese, I have to say it is no way to compare with the Xiao Long Bao (steamed dumplings) in Shanghai.
Luffa is a plant very popular in Asia. My mom always cooks it in soup with egg drops. They are very juicy and soft after cooked. The ripe, dried fruit is also the source of the loofah or plant sponge.

You could order food on their website as well, with reasonable price.
