Been curious about this place for a while and after getting a fairly positive review from friends we decided to give it a try. Located in a strip mall at Bayview and Hwy 7 the menu is all dim sum in a more casual environment. You are pointed to a table and tea is brought to you with a paper menu and pencil where you mark off your choices. From here is where there are differences from a more traditional dim sum business. Tea and water refills and condiments are self serve at the counter and there is a good selection. Extra cups are available so in addition to the tea you can also refill on hot water, cold water and hot soya milk which was clearly a popular item. It's served in a thermos jug and 2 were put out and within 15 minutes, 1 was emptied out. Quality of dim sum is just okay, as is the flavour. They have clay pot rice and the portion is on the small side but some good options. In addition to dim sum there is also a small selection of fried noodle Prices and service are decent. Most dim sum are $5.50 each. A 10% tip is automatically added to the bill. They close at 4 during the week so this really is just a lunch/dim sum place. If you want dim sum but also want a quick lunch this might be the place to go. read more

It is a dim sum place that is owned by the restaurant Starchiva, so the quality of the food is guaranteed. Three of us ordered 6 dishes, they all turned out to be delicious and innovative. We especially loved Steamed Matcha Crispy Shrimp Rice Roll, it is soft outside and crispy inside with yummy shrimp. One particular good thing about this place is that self-serve drinks and condiment, they even have free hot soy milk on the counter, what a bonus. The place is not big, but well decorated and looks elegant from inside. The service is definitely something can be improved. There is a particular waitress always look angry and blunt. Their price is very reasonable and they have included 10% tip in the bill, just so you know. read more

4.5/5 With friends visiting from Hong Kong, I brought her to Asian Queen. There was a queue with short wait time. As it was busy, no free soya milk was offered. As usual, dim sums were served fresh and delicious and it's inexpensive on weekday as they have discounts Monday through Friday. This is a nice place for yum cha price and location wise. read more

I decided to try a new Dim Sum spot and choose this place. They have all day Dim Sum from 9am to 9pm. The ambiance is unlike your typical Dim Sum restaurant. It was very casual and they do not charge a tea fee that other dim sum restaurants likely charges. However, the service is mostly self service. They have a self service area with sauces, tea and hot soy milk. Yes that is correct the soy milk was complimentary as well! And it was very good with just the right amount of sweetness. I ordered 6 different dim sums and most of them came out piping hot and fresh. The stand outs for me was definitely the Har Gow and Pineapple bun. The Har Gow was big, plump and juicy. They did not skimp out on the shrimp. The Pineapple bun was also quite big and crispy on the outside. I also tried their signature matcha crispy shrimp rice roll and thought it was mediocre. It did not have much matcha flavor and the shrimp was much smaller compared to the ones in the Har Gow. The Siu Mai was the only one I didn't really like. They were small and not bouncy/springy. Overall, this is a pretty good dim sum restaurant when you want dim sum outside of traditional hours. It's also important to note they charge a mandatory 10% tip. However, they charge the tip before tax which is great. Too many restaurant charge tip after taxes. The prices are also really reasonable! read more

New style of dim sum! Sister company to the other Star restaurants (including the one next door). Lots of variety and classic dim sum dishes ordered on the app or by paper. Self service hot or cold water and condiments. Specialty tea is not included but it can be purchased at $6 a pot. Regular tea or water is available at self service counter. BBQ items were fresh and could be purchased to go at the counter. Monday to Friday all one price. Service was good. Restaurant was bright and clean. They could space out the tables a bit though. All the dim sum came quick and piping hot. Overall very satisfied with my dim sum experience here. read more

Decent low key dim sum spot. They offer some unique items such as matcha salted egg yolk bun, and vegetarian tofu skin roll. The restaurant itself isn't too big compared to other dim sum spots. Its a casual dim sum spot with free self serve tea. There was also soya milk on the Saturday we went. read more

Very nice experience here for dine in. I've been here b4 for takeout and I decided to come for dine-in on this occasion. At first, I didn't expect much and it was not on my list of go-to dim sum places. But I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the service and overall cleanliness of this establishment. I will definitely be back for more. The restaurant was very clean ( look at the place setting ). The food was very tasty. I ordered the sui mai and spinach shrimp dumpling. Both were great The price is very very reasonable as all items were $5.50 s,m,l. And there were many options at that price not like other restaurants that make usual items XL so it is not the special price. Service was amazing. I was seated promptly, given tea right away (even though refill is self serve) , and told the menu is in the QR code on the table. It was pretty busy for 10:00 am so you see they are doing something right. It was definitely right in my book. I wholeheartedly recommend "Asian Queen" for all yelpers and hope to see you there. read more

Kept seeing this place when I went to Loblaws so decided to give it a try. We went during the week just after lunch and it was still a bit busy. We were able to get the last table. Tables did free up more as the time went on. Not a huge place. All the S, M, and L dishes are $5.50 all day which is unusual these days. The serving portions were good. The dishes were hot when they came to the table. The quality was OK - nothing exceptional, but good enough. Some could use a bit more flavour like the tripe and har gow. The shrimp roll was a bit on the thicker side. If want a dim sum and don't want to pay through your teeth, then this place is just fine. Service was fine also. read more

A go to for all day dim sum. Even better on weeknights with promo of 5.50$ s/m/l dim sums. Food is decent and piping hot from steamer. This restaurant is semi- table service and self-service. Self service for sauces and drinks, staff will also help you for your first rounds of tea and water. On weekends, sometimes there are special additions for free, like hot soy milk today at the drinks station. Busy little place, good for small-medium groups. There are large groups of like a dozen ppl, but may have to wait a while and they will make long connected table. read more

First time to try a very very fresh prepared and cook dim sum. Everything taste fresh and one of a kind. Although it looks like same same sum as other restaurants, the way it made like Siu Mai is small chopped pork instead of minced. It is casual environment. Free Tea is self service. It also has free sweet soy bean milk provided. If you want better tea, you need to order and pay a pot for $6. Lots of comment about the service is not that great, I admit the servers are not very polite. Hence I only put 4 stars. The bill included 10% service charge. Actually the servers do not get all 10%. Some was taken used to pay new plate when broke. If you appreciate a server service, you know what you should do ;) read more

Great dim sum spot serving yam cha till 9PM daily. You can order both by the traditional paper order sheet or conveniently through their online system. All the dim sum were freshly made, served hot, and tasted delicious. They also have a self-serve station for sauces and tea, which is super convenient. Satisfying dim sum experience read more

Two out of our party of six arrived first just before 11 am and there so happened to be a table, fitting for six, by the door that just cleared up when they walked in without anyone else in front. The staff didn't want to give us the table because they said our whole party wasn't present. After some back and forth, and the promise to order dim sum ASAP (since it takes time to prepare anyways and the other four members were just 5 minutes away), they finally agreed to seat us. This started off our experience poorly as it wasn't like there was another party of six present to be seated, etc. From Monday to Friday, all day (9 am to 9 pm), this joint offers their S/M/L items for $5.25. They also don't charge for tea due to the self-serve set up they have, whereby they serve you your first cup but refills require you to go to their station, which also has cold water and condiments such as hot sauces. Overall, the food was good but some dishes were a little overcooked/over-steamed making them a little softer than usual. My grandparents who have been here before said this is not usually the case so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt but either way, it wasn't bad by any means. The siu mai, har gow, and other dumplings had a good chew to them with a good amount of filling. The curry cuttlefish was again, softer, but had good flavor. The congee was a good consistency and flavorful without being too salty and didn't leave you thirsty. I personally really liked the mango mochi which was soft and chewy, with a filling of real fruit and cream. The "most disappointing" was the BBQ pork rice only because there was a lot of rice compared to toppings of pork and choy. However, the leanness of the BBQ pork was perfect without being dry. The shrimp rice rolls were also a little underwhelming. Again, service is minimal due to the nature of their setup. But the servers do bring the food and clear empty baskets and plates. They were very fast when it came to clearing tables but I felt it was because they're so busy that they want to turnover tables as soon as possible. During our stay, I would say 11:30 am was when they had the biggest rush and wait for tables. Even though our family said many thank yous, the employees weren't very responsive. The place is new so it is quite clean and the decor looks nice. Seating was actually quite comfortable because of the chairs, but I find long rectangular tables are difficult when it comes to dim sum since it is hard to puzzle out the dishes due to space and makes it harder for sharing as one end of the table can never reach the items on the other end. They don't really have many circle tables, minus a few small ones for 2-3 people. Overall, you can see there's lots of pros and cons but their affordability, decent food, and cleanliness makes this spot one to put on the "frequent list". Service is not their main selling point so I didn't expect much, just as it seems they do not expect much in tips. read more

Went to this dim sum place and at the time there was a promo $5.25 for S,M,L dishes. This is a bit different from your traditional dim sum place, the tea and water was self served and there's no charge for the tea unless you ordered a pot. The food was decent and included some dishes that were not usually seen at other places, such as the matcha rice roll and the spareribs with rice roll. I especially like the deep fried Dace fish ball, not too starchy and full of the tangerine peel flavor. Also like the spare ribs with rice rolls when the rice rolls soak up all the juice from the spare ribs. The siu mai and sticky rice in lotus leaf were good too, piping hot. The steamed rice we didn't quite enjoy, it's supposed to have dried mushroom but it wasn't there and too much bones. Overall for this price there's nothing much to complain. One can sign up with a wait staff who holds the iPad and then receive a txt when the table is ready. However we still saw quite a few people missing their number for some reason. No big tables here and could be quite close to the next table. read more

Came here for their weekday special which is $5.50 dimsum for S/M/L sizes! Overall, the food was pretty good however its a bit of a hit or miss. We enjoyed the majority of the dishes but there were a few that we were not that big of a fan of. However, at the price point, can't complain too much and would return again. read more

Love this lil dim sum joint. A little more on the casual side. I usually come here during weekday lunch hours. They do have the special M-F $5.50 any S/M/L items. Basically keeps me coming back because wow, budget! Wish I could gate keep this, but it's just way too good of a deal not to share. Scan QR code to order, and the items come out relatively fast. Food: - I love love love the matcha shrimp noodle roll. Such a unique item on their menu and super crunchy, savory and yummy. - Recommend Sui Mai and Har Gow - Turnip patties - yummy! - Molten egg buns - melted molten egg in the middle, and super umami - Mango mochi - creamy and mango chunks wrapped in a mochi - pineapple pork buns! Overall, a great casual dim sum dining experience. It does get packed through the breakfast-lunch time. Haven't been around dinner yet but... yes! Recommendd!!!!!! read more

They have a grand opening special where's it's $5.25 for S, M, L. The food was very mediocre though. The congee was flavourless, the buns were burnt and the har gow were falling apart. There's no tea cost per person, but it's $6 for a teapot. As the waitress said, all condiment and water refill is self serve because they don't charge a tea cost. It's not very good for large groups because all their tables are rectangular, not rounds. It was a good deal given their grand opening special but I would not go back, especially once the promo is over. read more

Asian Queen - Dim Sum Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Interesting place, relatively new restaurant serving dim sum all day. If you don't like dim sum, then Markham is not the right place for you, Timmie's right next door. Brightly lit modern decor, no booth seating just tables and chairs. Self service water and condiment counter All dim sum dishes appeared to be made to order, arrived table hot and fresh tasting. Beef balls had nice rough texture with a slight hint of orange peel essence. Steamed dumplings contained firm chopped shrimp and vegs Bean curd had a good ratio of skin to veg,/mushrooms Chicken feet cooked well but I found the flavoring lacking, lol, since when did I become a chicken feet connesieur. For a new restaurant, the flavors and freshness of their dimsum was unexpected. Good soft opening prices which will surely increase in the near future so throw those Timmie's out the window and give them a try. read more

Asian Queen - Inside seating - Dim Sum Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

I learned about this new restaurant from a Facebook food group. So decided to check it out today. I was a table for one, the staff told me the wait time will be half an hour so I went out to take a photo and came back. It was a little crowded and stuffy inside. My number is 50, I've noticed they were calling 52 so I inquired. Their response was like oh you missed it. In my mind, I am thinking will I get the next table? It almost felt like once they skipped my number that's it.. the number they started calling just got higher and higher, so I had to ask again, it's a little frustrating, anyways a little chaotic during their soft opening. I find when customer ask about delays of the dim sum item or how my number is skipped, the manager doesn't really admit it and end up blaming the customer. I think it's very busy because of the $5.25 small, medium large dim sum soft opening special. I've noticed the couple next to me were asking why one of the items took so long. The tea you will get a cup of tea, if you are ok with the tea you can go up to the station and refill by yourself. Similar to the noodle spots. if not you can order your own type of tea with a teapot for additional cost, different tea leaves you can choose from at the back of the menu. The station have different sauces such as chili oil, vinegar, chili sauce and you can just help yourself. Onto the food, the har gwa, one of the four had a hole in it, a little moist. The steamed chives and shrimp dumpling again one of the four had a hole in it. The vegetarian bean curd roll was tasty. The deep fried chives shrimp cake was just like a shrimp spring roll, usually they are round like a shrimp Patty. The deep fried fish ball with clam sauce, it's on the smaller side and I find it not dense and hard enough. It was not bad but nothing to write home about. I did enjoy the steamed matcha rice roll with crispy shrimp and squid. Nicely presented. I thought it was unique and a good texture. Overall, they did have a few unique dim sum items. It's good that they serve all day dim sum but the rice rolls are not served after 3:30pm and no congee after 3:30pm as well. I feel like if the ambiance is as comfortable as the Starchiva Cuisine will be better, now it feels like a Scabrough noodle spot or China town, not comfortable seating wise and defeats the purpose of yum cha. Flavour wise some items were unique so they have potentials. I think they are not quite ready yet in terms of handling this volume of customer during the soft opening stage. Rating as of now 3.5. read more

Dim sum is always associated with long lines so in order to avoid that takeout might be the best way to go. Asian Queen just opened this weekend and is serving up some classic and interesting dim sum dishes. They are opened by Starchiva, which is a few doors down. I would be patient since it's their opening this week so you can tell that they are trying to work out any issues. At this time, SML are all one price at $5.25. The portion sizes compared to other dim sum places but for $5.25 you really cannot complain. I have to say that their chiu chow fun gor is one of the better ones that I've had in awhile. I'm not sure if they make the dumpling skin in house but it certainly tasted that way. Also, the brown sugar honey cake was great too! Good texture and not soggy or overly dry. The cuttlefish was way too over cooked and lost its QQ texture. It was very soft and too tender! read more

Great new dim sum restaurant! The menu has the usual classic dim sum fare, but they also have some pretty incoming items you don't find in other places. The prices are a bit higher than expected, but the quality is really good! Portions feel generous for the unique items like the Baked BBQ Pork Bun--which does, in fact, taste like a pineapple bun on the outside with juicy char siu on the inside. read more

Wonderful Dim Sum and serve!! Best to go during the week - open 9am-9pm. Not overly busy on a weekday brunch and calm atmosphere.

A simple, no frills dim sum restaurant that serves very fresh, hot dim sum dishes made to order. It was perfect for our LNY lunch out with family today. It was steadily busy, but not packed and loud like larger restaurants would be. Our party of 6 sat comfortably, enjoyed good conversation, and ate very well! We'll definitely be back again another day. read more

Came here for dinner as parents wanted it. We saw on the door that this month of July all bbq items are 20% off so we decided to try it as we saw our neighbours table dish looking good. We also ordered a few dim sum dishes and it's a self serve tea place unless you want to order a pot. The bbq itself I found too greasy and fatty for my liking. The bbq pork had so much fat in it and I prefer a leaner cut. The duck look skin crispy but it was not. They have some cool dim sum options and it's not to overpriced. If you want dim sum for dinner you can try this place out. The lighting was good and the decor is full of wooden panels. It's more of a self serve drink and condiments bar place so don't expect too much service. When I went around 6:30 there were 2 waiters and the cashier and who ever works in the kitchen. read more

Price was too high for a weekend dimsum as the portions were smaller compared to other dimsum in the area (7.25+ per dish). There's no large round tables for large families. The max is 6 people per table. Ideal is a party of 4. Food tasted OK. The sauces were self serve. If you want to save money on tea, do not order the tea pot, there's self serve tea at the counter. read more

Disclaimer... We tried going to another dim sum spot but it was rammed so we didn't bother waiting. My parents recommended this spot since they'd been before and were quite pleased. As others have noted, much of this is self-serve, bar ordering (on paper) your dishes. I'll be honest, I liked it. Some frustrations with DS is often being at the mercy of the waiters; so being able to go get your own sauces, tea, hot/cold water was pretty awesome. I'm always less than pleased about paying a "tea fee" so this immediate savings was a great start! We only ordered 8 items and all were good. I especially loved the pineapple bbq pork bun. It was perfectly crispy and great flavour on the inside. The food came out in good time and the service was pleasant. I can see it being problematic bringing a large group. They don't take reservations but the waitress mentioned their sister restaurant (two doors down), does the more "regular dim sum" for larger groups and they take resos. I'd definitely come back to this spot! read more

This Chinese tea house has an incredibly high cost-to-value ratio. Their dim sum is handled exceptionally well, especially their siu mai - they are very generously sized, with substantial pork filling. Their egg tarts are also worth trying. The prices at this restaurant are not expensive, so I highly recommend it. 性價比超高嘅中式茶樓。佢嘅點心處理得超級出色，尤其係佢嘅燒賣，好大粒、啖啖肉。佢嘅葡撻亦都係值得一試。呢間餐廳價錢唔算貴，高度推薦。 read more

Been here twice now. Food is quite enjoyable. Only gripe was that their "shrimp paste stuffed eggplant" was actually fish paste instead of shrimp paste, so it was misrepresented. Tea and sauces are self serve. They have yellow mustard instead of the typical dimsum hot mustard. Their hot sauce also tastes like the cheap kind. There can be long wait times during this promo period where SML are all priced at $5.25 until 8pm Monday to Friday. Service is friendly but food can come out slow. We had dishes that took 40 minutes to come out. read more

Heard about this new place through family member and thought to give it a try. We came during lunch period. Mediocre food quality, poor customer service, dirty seats and dirty washroom. Sure the price is attractive and offers dim sum even at night, but the food doesn't appear to be very fresh. Given that there's numerous dim sum restaurants nearby, I would go back to my regular places. read more

If you like new traditional style dim sum, this restaurant would be a great choice. There is a promotion $5.25 for all kinds of dim sum. They have most of the popular dim sum such as rice roll, Har gow and Shumai. I was surprised that they added matcha into the rice roll and that was great mix and match.

Decent quality dim sum. We came on a weekday for 1 pm and we waited about 10 - 15 minutes for a table of 2. The parking lot was busy as it is in a strip mall where the Loblaws is located. We ordered through the QR code but there are paper dim sum menus to choose from. They give you he first cup of tea at your table and afterwards you have to refill your tea at the front where you get the hot sauces. Food quality was decent and on par with other restaurants and they had some fancy dishes. You take your bill to the front counter and pay at the register. Cash only. read more
