We came for dim sum. Solid dim sum! They have a special where all small, medium and large dishes are priced as small size plus another 15% off. Great value. I especially enjoyed the pan fried buns. read more

I thought Sat lunch is busy but it is not. I chose the special - lobster noodle and fried fish. They are very good. The deep fried shrimp is very good and shrimp rice roll is good but only there are 4 shrimps in 4 rolls .usually there are 2 shrimp in a roll. It is a bit higher price and therefore when I left around 1:15pm, the place was not as full as when I came in. It is a casual place and parking is quite full. read more

No wait on a weekend for dim sum. Prices are a bit higher than the other restaurants nearby but food was okay. Portions are a bit small. Not sure if I will return. Service was mediocre even for Asian dim sum places. read more

The most recent review was a year ago - so let's get a little updated. I was at the amazing seafood House 4x in the last month - mainly due to proximity and convenience. They have a decent amount of parking depending on how busy the plaza is. On weekdays before 11:30am - if you place your dim sum order, you'd qualify for the early bird special. The food overall is very decent. They have a pretty good menu for dinner - a few combo choices depending on the number in your party. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the lobsters in the lobster meal are small - so you get your weight through multiples but that means less meat. Biggest callout is their excellent service. They are super attentive - they around several times to fill water, change plates etc. One of our visits was super early dinner and even though they're technically not fully open, they had us seated with tea etc. After every dinner they've offered cash coupons (ie $5 off your next dinner visit). Only catch here is you have to pay by cash. You can pay by credit if you forego the coupon. If you feel the food and service is to your liking, you can ask for a 10% off vip card (it's just an initialed business card). They give you a discount off the tea fee during dim sum and 10% off for dinner with exceptions ie combos. Keep in mind discounts require paying in cash. All in all, a great place to frequent when too lazy to cook. read more

The food was really good here, we especially loved the shrimp in salted egg yolk batter and the Eel in black bean sauce. The eel is the best we've tasted so far. The white eel meat is so soft and delicate, fatty, and oily - just delicious! The ambiance is nice and modern, the servers are so friendly, they have areas available for private dinners, and parking here is easy. We will definitely come back here again in the future read more

I've visited this restaurant quite a few times. The dim sum is very nice, they serve good dim sum; a bit pricey but good. The location has some great takeout options and on rotation runs cash promotion with returner vouchers. The location is quite big and I am impressed that they kept it together during the pandemic because many times when I did visit there were tables still open capacity was around 50-70% full without the VIP side seating areas filled. read more

Parking: Horrid at the front because it is shared with other businesses. I hate to go to restaurants with shared parking lots. It's literally hell finding a spot at such places. But perhaps there's more at the rear. I'm not certain about this. Service: Meh. They seem more friendly to their usual customers than to new ones, which in my books, is a true NO-NO. You treat ALL with the same level of courtesy and respect. Food: Ain't half bad but I've had better elsewhere. Price: A bit overpriced IMO. $40 dim sum only gave us six items to consume. I think I can acquire cheaper elsewhere. Don't think I'll be a repeat customer. read more

Amazingly mediocre. (I had to add to all the "amazing" lines) We came here for dinner and had 2 full tables. Their food is decent actually. Their service is okay. They were very attentive and quick like most Chinese restaurants. Unfortunately, they forgot some orders for both tables. We basically ordered the same dishes but some were missing from both tables. Worst of all their dish washing staff (probably just a dish washing machine) is lacking. We were given a few dirty forks, and I mean caked on gunk - dirty. You can find other restaurants that serve the same food with much better service and cleanliness. read more

I've been here a few times for lunch. Was here for dim sum multiple times. I found the food here to be ok. The Har gows I think they need to spend the time to take out the intestines before cooking it. The size portions are good, but this place is on the pricier side. Food comes out hot. read more

This place is honestly a hit or miss - some days the food is great, other times it's mediocre. Unfortunately the service is usually a miss given the lack of staff. Food: simple and short menu, nothing extensive. As mentioned, quality is a hit or miss. Early bird dim sum on weekdays until 11am. Parking: usually not an issue but can be difficult to find a close spot during prime busy hours. Environment: it's not a very large restaurant so table seating is limited and oftentimes you'll see people waiting at the door. Overall a clean environment, suitable for small and large groups. read more

Had dinner here, in laws wanted eel, and picked a 5lbs eel off their Tse's food tank. The one eel was made into two different dishes. One was steamed with black bean sauce and the other was made in a more sweeter sauce with honey. We ordered also scallop dish with broccoli, Ribs, and 4 quail for $18 each,. The quail was really good here, quite juicy. We also ordered chicken. Overall it was good, fresh seafood and good service. the plates they provided for dessert was dirty.i am not sure if plates were washed manually or not. We got black sesame dessert which was my favourite. The restaurant looked quite spacious , but I still feel like we don't have much space once you sit, as we were pretty close to the next tables. read more

Despite sharing the restaurants with a very loud Chinese gala dinner. Despite being barred from the bathroom because some lady decided to change in the sink area and not a stall. Despite awkwardly walking through people singing and dancing to get to our little area of the eatery. I am fully impressed by my first, and definitely not last, visit to Amazing Seafood House. Any one of those things could have made it a very annoying dinner experience but wow. Just wow. No small feat by the kitchen and wait staff who were phenomenal and the definition of professional. The 2 ladies managing our small section of walk-in customers were chatty and friendly, while keeping food and dishes moving at a non-stop pace. They served our food faster than at a restaurant that ISN'T hosting an event taking up the other 90% of the space. The food itself ranged from pretty good to crazy good. The steamed grouper was the highlight. I've eaten countless versions of it at countless Chinese restaurants, but none came close to this. It made my parents reminisce on the fish they used to eat in HK. The meat was firm and the fish had a freshness that is hard to find in fish sold inland. Another highlight was the pork bun. Traditionally more of a dim sum dish, but our waitress recommended we had to get it. Sure we had to wait a bit longer for it, but damn, I'm glad we waited. The bun was soft and sweet and the filling was chunky bits of savoury pork and seafood. Dessert was sweet almond paste with almonds that were grinded by the chefs themselves. While the food is on the pricier end, the total for 6 people came out to under $250, which is extremely reasonable. You might also get treated by surprisingly good deals, like the outstanding chicken soup we got for $18 when it regularly costs $68. Dim sum specials run every morning if you go before a certain time. Chinese banquet halls often name themselves with either a literal English pronunciation of their Chinese name OR they use some generic positive descriptor like "Glorious, Diamond, Premiere". Well Amazing Seafood House has earned the right to call itself that. Amazing food, amazing people. Call me amazed! (5/100) - 2018 read more

Amazing Seafood House is not "amazing' but quite A-OK. We were here for dinner celebrating a birthday and was able to pre ordered some Chinese Birthday buns. Those are house made with a salted egg filling! So good and they were complimentary too! Braised Grouper Tail ($38.80) which I would highly recommend. It is great value with perfectly cooked fish and side of tofu, bean curd sheets and puff Seafood in Rum Sauce ($24) was a miss. The sauce was watery and the seafood overcooked and not fresh. The other dish we ordered all A-OK/ Dessert was nicely presented. Service was attentive but we were there on a weeknight when the place is quiet. Not a bad option if you are with a group of people and want to try out some Cantonese dish. read more

Newly renovated | lacking service | food quality lacking | dim sum Review based on weekday dim sum only. Dim sum Monday to Friday 11am - 3:30pm Weekend 10am-3:30pm. No special price (S, M, L, XL, SP, J, SJ) range from $4 per plate to $13. Some dishes were ok some were horrible. Had the fishball soup noodle for $17.80 and there was barely and soup and the fishball seemed like it turned bad. I came with 7 people and we all spit it back out. There were only 2 servers so we barely got service. I rated the previous restaurant at this location a 1 star. I was hoping this place would deserve a bit more. Unfortunately it only has the looks. I hope to try the dinner and see if they are more deserving. read more

Ok Amazing Seafood house really is pretty amazing, the food is very good, the lobsters are good (but most seafood specialty restaurants do a good job on this) Every dish there is delicious. I have only been here twice since they opened but I would definitely come back for lunch and dinner. They need to make an English menu, and they need to stop scamming us the weight of the seafood. How can 5lbs of crab possibly be 2 small vancouver crabs. And when you add a 4lb lobster... they tell they only have this 5.5lb one to charge you more. But in the end it still looks very small. Besides the tactics they use that are not very honourable, the food actually is amazing. read more

Amazing Seafood House is unfortunately not that amazing. My family and I visited Amazing Seafood House for their morning $3.5 dim sum special. We ordered the following dishes: shrimp rice roll, pumpkin mushroom congee, pork dumplings, chiu chu dumplings, beef balls, chive buns and glutinous rice wrap. Although I only had the vegetarian dishes, we all agreed there is nothing to write home about. A few items were over cooked. It's a little mediocre. I would not recommend Amazing Seafood House unless you are desperate and don't have any other option. read more

This review is based on 1 dinner experience. I have no idea why others' experience at Amazing Seafood is so different from mine. My dining experience was good: food tasted quite delicious, ingredients were notably fresh and of high quality, and services was attentive and polite. The steamed fish was definitely cooked from a live fish. The shredded chicken was flavorful and generous in portion. The abalone was done right: soft, good mouth feel, good sauce. The services level was one of the high points of the evening. Plates were changed multiple times. Tea were refilled without we asking. The waitress checked on us a few times throughout the dinner. Requests were fulfilled quickly (may I have chili sauce please). I ate at a handful of expensive Chinese restaurants before. Amazing Seafood provided the best services by far. Yeah it is pricey. But if I am going to spend $$$$ per person, I prefer to receive good food AND good services in return. read more

Relatively new restaurant in Markham. The light over our table was flickering during the entire meal (probably due to recent renovation). Highly recommend the fried tofu dish ($4.99). It's nice and crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside! I would go back just for this dish. Our dinner also consisted of chicken (which didn't have much of a taste), lamb, Alaska crab, lobster, dessert and some other dishes as well. It came to around $750.00 and I'd say it's quite pricey in comparison with Fisherman Lobster Club. Probably would not go back for dinner. *Edit: so disappointed because they raised the price of the tofu dish to $7 two months later! read more

There's no need to wait for a table, felt like there are a lot less customers these days. Back before covid, I couldn't even find a parking spot nearby this dim sum place. Food variety shrunk, but still decent, food quality maintained, service was better since there weren't that many people, the table given to us was huge, we felt like social distancing just within our table. I wish the situation will get better soon, I used to like coming to this place for dim sum, really hope that they can survive during this hard times. read more

First time here for dinner. Inside decor is nice with many big tables and private dinner rooms for party events. Decided to choose our own dishes instead of the set dinner combos. Plain simple dish prices were in the $20+ range but the size and quality was average to say the least. Half chicken was meatless and pork had too much batter. Beef was decent as it was very tender and fried salty egg oysters was good but needed a bit more salty egg flavor. One of big downfalls was service. Dined during a weeknight with many available tables however food took way too long to come. There was even an incident nearby where some man was very irritated and complained about the service. Not a good impression. Very overrated restaurant that needs some improvement to bring back steady customers. Not my choice for a nice Chinese dinner event. read more

Went there for lunch a few days ago. Food was above average but I have to admit, for them to advertise themselves as "Amazing", the service there was "Awful". The servers bringing out the food or clearing the tables, they were sharp and attentive. I am talking the manager whom I thought was quite useless. She was just standing around the entire time and every time we waved to her, she would just look the other way. When other customers came in, rather than greet them, she would just stare out in space and expected the other staff to take care of it. Don't waste the restaurant money and pretend you are more superior than everyone else. A good good leader should LEAD by example and not just stay in the back to delegate others. Unbelievable.... read more

Had a less than "amazing" lunch here during my recent trip to Toronto. If "amazing" describes good that is marginally better than an average Chinese restaurant for a much higher price, then it guess it's amazing? Their dim sum menu actually isn't very extensive, with only 53 different items available. With large items already north of $5, I was prepared to see a bill of $60 for a table of 3. Sure enough it was around there. The food, again, was only marginally better than a typical dim sum place...and that doesn't cut it. Dragon Boat is still the winner in that department, and if I want typical dim sum at typical places, I'd consider Tak Fu in Scarborough. Service was also poor. It seemed the servers wanted to rush us out ASAP, since we arrived quite late for lunch (around 3pm), and they were setting up for dinner. read more

My family and I finally came to try this place after it replaced Miss Congee. The decor was really nice and they had private rooms that you could book. The menu was relatively small, they had a la carte options and also prix fixe sets. My family got 6 items off the a la carte menu: - Deep fried tofu appetizer ($6.88) - Shrimp & Scallop veggie dish ($32.8) - Green Beans (14.8) - Sweet and sour pork ($18.8) - Stir fry angus beef with green onions ($18.8) - Snow pea leaves in soup ($20.8) - Rice ($2 each... crazy) The deep fried tofu was delicious, but the portion was tiny, considering it was $7... The shrimp & scallop dish was NOT worth it. They only gave 4 pieces of shrimp and scallop, so not everyone in my family got one... it tasted mediocre too. The green beans were prob my favourite, very flavourful! The sweet & sour pork was presented in a cute edible bowl, which was interesting. They served it with a lot of fruits. The angus beef was decent but 70% of the dish was onions and mushrooms The snow pea leaves was a disappointment. It lacked in flavour, and was bitter. We even had to ask for salt to give it some taste. In terms of service, I thought it was pretty poor. We asked our waiter 4 times for rice, and it took them about 20 min to bring it out. By the time the rice came, our food was cold. Overall, this place is decent but I wouldn't choose to come back because the prices are way too high for mediocre food. read more

"Amazing" is quite the overstatement. Price point was way too steep compared to the quality of food that was given. Dimsum menu didn't offer a huge variety nor dishes that required extensive work. Many items were considered Large, which is about $5+, so it's definitely pricey. Servers were staff from around the area (like.. other dimsum places), so service wasn't the greatest. They weren't rude, but they weren't exactly attentive and it took a while to get anyone to come over. We were placed in the little room beside the door with several other tables, and there was a staff member who's supposed to check in regularly, but evidently not regularly enough. Not my fav. I wouldn't come back. read more

NOT-so-Amazing...We ordered the set menu for four with shark fin soup, which was the highlight of the menu. The soup was delicious and I would highly recommend it! Unfortunately, none of the dishes following them were particularly good and the service was horrible. They served a deep fried shrimp with wasabi mayo and fruits (blueberries, strawberry and kiwi)... Not sure which Chinese cuisine serves this. Moreover, it did not compliment the set menu and seemed like it was quickly slapped together. In terms of service, the other waiters and waitresses do not pay attention to tables that do not belong to them. Our waitress barely came by at all, and we waited for at least 15 minutes after we were done two courses, leaving the empty plates sitting at the table. This is unacceptable for a Chinese restaurant that is marketed as upscale. read more

Update Nov 13 - my little one is still having diarrhea day 9 now since we ate at this restaurant. One of the lab results came back with Salmonella and still waiting to hear back on the other lab results. I would give 0 stars if I could. 17 of us had dinner at one large table and 14 of us experienced diarrhea symptoms. We ordered a 10 person meal with a few extra dishes. Have reported to health and safety on this incident. Provided samples for examination and now waiting for results. Horrible experience, my 19 months old has fever and ongoing diarrhea for the past 4 days straight. I am changing diapers so frequently it's like going back to the newborn days. My little one is so weak from the frequent episodes of diarrhea and lost of appetite. Strongly recommend that you avoid this place. read more

Amazing Seafood House - Ordered a whole Peking Duck for take out and this is what I received, not even half of a duck - Seafood Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Came to the Amazing Seafood restaurant, which replaces the short-lived Miss Congee restaurant that closed down after only a year or so. Our dinner experience was off to a rough start when we found out our reservation was not recorded down for the proper date. Rather than acknowledging their mistake and apologizing, the lady at the front said they were fully booked and spent the next 5 mins flipping through their reservation book. Luckily the general manager finally came by and was able to give us an open table. The restaurant atmosphere is very nice and has a very modern looking decor. The supervisor that came to take our order was very helpful and patient. However, some of the other staff could definitely use some more training. One server brought us a bowl while openly coughing with her mouth wide open, which was quite disgusting and unhygienic. There are no English menus, so if you can't read Chinese, good luck ordering. The food here is generally quite good and the food was served quickly. The complimentary pigeon was too salty and the meat tough for my taste. The chicken was decent but nothing special. The snow pea leaf dish was very nice as it came in a fish broth soup. The ribs were also very tasty and delicious. We ordered the recommended flat fish, which was quite pricey at $38/lbs. For a 2.5 lb fish, there wasn't too much meat. But the fish was cooked perfectly and was very delicious. For dessert, they served a complimentary cashew soup with a couple of small mango and read-bean sweets, which was very nice. Overall, I was pleased with the quality and taste of the dishes as well as the speed of the food service. The price is a little more than a place like Top Choice or Win's where you can also get fresh seafood, but cheaper than Dragonboat or Yu's. Once they train some of their staff better, get their reservation system sorted out, and have English menus, I would be happy to give this restaurant another visit. read more

Located near Kennedy and highway7. A lot of parking and no need for pre-book for table. Dropped this location with family on for dinner. The seating is spacious and the food was mediocre overall. The service was great but nothing out of the ordinary. Definitely a great place to try if other restaurants are full. read more

Having had dinner here for three times in the last few months, We've grown to like this restaurant. The prices here suggest this is a higher classed Chinese restaurant. And the food quality matches the prices in my opinion. I am a fan of sweet and sour pork - a very simple and popular dish. But it is not that simple to make an impressive sweet-and-sour pork. It has to have the balance of crispiness on the outside and tenderness on the inside. The coating of sauce should be light yet sweet and tangy enough to delight your senses. The one we had at Amazing met my criteria for a good sweet-and-sour pork dish. Another impressive dish is not a main course, but the soup. They don't have the typical soup of the day like some Chinese restaurants do. But they do have slow-cooked soup of the day. The chicken meat and vegetable that was taken out of the pot was enough to make a regular dish. The soup was tasty, and we can tell they did not put msg in it. And there was so much of it we had to take it home. The place was quite busy on Saturday evenings, so reservation is recommended. It is a bit pricey as far as Chinese restaurants go. But if you enjoy the food and services like we do, it is worth it. read more

Very mediocre dimsum restaurant. It has surprisingly long line-ups on weekends, likely because of the lack of dimsum nearby and their small space. Otherwise, they have specials of $3.5 for small / med / large items, but their dimsum menu is highly limited, especially before 11am when the other 40% of their menu isn't available. For such a small space, their wait staff is also very inefficient, slow, and difficult to flag down. Their food isn't anything remarkable - rice roll is very thick and pasty and siu mai was on the fatty side. read more

Super expensive and horrible service! The waiters are rude, especially the receptionist, and throw the dishes on the table! The quality of food is not good and small portion, the chicken has no taste at all. They offered a free pigeon with order over $50. The pigeon is an aging one and you need very strong teeth to tear, otherwise, you have to see the dentist after dinner! They just mark up the price 3+ times to cover the cost of decoration and totally worthless! Unless you are rich and nowhere to spend money, not even worth to spend 1 minute in here! read more

Had dinner for four here recently. For a $$$$ category restaurant, I didn't feel like the high price was justified. The food was mediocre-to-good, but not great. One of the dishes took an hour to come out. They changed our plates quite frequently, more than average, if you care about that. The restaurant is quite pretty inside, and it's in a plaza with Dollarama and parking is tough to come by, especially during peak dining times. Overall, I'd suggest to try it to see what the hype is about. I, however, won't be returning. read more
