Even the waiters stopped by to see them as they jiggled on our plates . The two tiered dimsum cage was worth it as it was a highlight of typical dimsum items, although they did seem to differ from table to table. So you do need some luck to get the exact pieces you were looking at. Long wait times during peak dimsum hours so plan accordingly!

There's a large parking lot outside the restaurant…read more Came for both dinner and dim sum. For dinner we got the roast pig which was nicely presented and crispy on the outside. The steamed fish was also delicious. I enjoyed the complementary dessert which included sweet red bean porridge, cookies, and jelly. For dim sum, definitely DO NOT purchase the rice noodle in supreme fish soup and mushroom. It tasted like water cooked with mushroom and had no taste or fish flavor and a waste of money. The mango sago wasn't that good either and only came with a tiny bit of ice cream. Dim sum was pretty crowded, so would recommend booking a table for large groups. I enjoyed the abalone and chicken congee as well as the mustard green, clam, and preserved egg congee. The abalone on the abalone su mai was a bit overcooked and chewy since it's been heated too long. I liked the chicken feet, beef tendons, and ribs. The egg tart was delicious when warm and super soft on the inside.

New Century will feed a large group. Their lobster, Dungeness crab, and sea bass combo for eight…read more($798) would satisfy ten or twelve. The individual New Century slow boiled soup is hardest to share but secure some empty bowls and you can divide the hefty portion. In the winter, there's a silkiness to the piping hot consommé that sooths a dry throat and has an umami essence infused with abalone, ginseng, and pork. There's plenty to choose from in the house signature combo platter including roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork, pork slices, and seaweed salad. Saving my stomach for the later dishes, I had a taste of the duck (a good start with crispy skin) and BBQ pork (satisfactory and well flavoured). With the generous portion of chicken in the combo platter, the slow cooked chicken with abalone broth seemed like overkill. I've never been a huge fan of this dish that's served cold since I prefer chicken hot. Still, I understand it's the jelly layer between the skin and meat that people enjoy. And to be fair, the chicken was tender, and New Century certainly didn't skimp on the ginger and scallion oil. For those who tend to fill-up before the "main dishes", the stars of the combo arrive mid-meal. The stir-fried Vancouver crabs with silver fish in HK style spicy sauce needs to be eaten at arrival as the crunchy coating is best straight from the fryer. And despite not looking spicy, the dish has a light heat that permeates in the background. Additionally, the crab was fresh and meaty, cooked well so it remained delicately flakey. The amount of sweet and sticky sauce used in the stir-fried lobsters with scallion in Maggie sauce was well balanced, lightly covering the crustaceans. Both lobsters were substantial; even after eating many pieces, we still had plenty of leftovers. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.

Had an excellent meal from top to bottom at Yu Seafood…read more Haven't been at this location in a few years and happy to see that it's still good. One thing that wasn't good was they had a wedding in the main area and they were incredibly loud. Should close all the doors to muffle the sound but they didn't. Peking duck was fantastic. Nicely cooked duck, crispy skin, very thin wraps. It comes with onions and cantaloupe. Cantaloupe was a first for me and I didn't like it. Lobster was cooked with garlic and green onions. Delicious. However they only gave us the pieces with a lot of meat and the lesser meat pieces were nowhere to be found. Didn't like that as we would still want to eat it. Snow pea leaves with garlic was a good portion. A touch undercooked though. Pigeons were delicious and large. Great flavour. Sirloin stir fried beef cubes was also quite nice. Walnuts were nice and sweet. Desserts are way too sweet. Cookie was nice and even warmed.

Very nice and elegant restaurant, attentive service and good dum sum…read more Hubby and I came in for dim sum one day during our visit and we were please with the food and services. We also enjoyed the ambience. We ordered the typical Shrimp Har Gow, Pork Siu Mai, Steamed Chicken Feet, Pan Fried Tulip Cake. Also tried the Deep Fried Chicken Puff (Ham Sui Gok), Steamed Rice Roll w/ Roasted Pork, and Seafood Dumpling in soup. Everything was flavorful. Special shout out on the Baby Octopus in Curry Sauce, it was so tendered and delicious!

The shop is clean and plenty of parking out front. This is a to go restaurant which happens to have 2 tables for the dine-in need. So think a glorified food court ambiance without the crowd. There is currently a soft opening special with 9.88 rice box (Roast Pork rice/ soy chicken rice, GUI Fei chicken rice) The roast pork is a-ok with crispy skin and not too fatty meat. Have not tried the chicken and will report back after/

Decent Cantonese food with affordable prices. The seafood was fresh and everything was cooked well…read morebut nothing stood out.

My family and I went to Skyview Fusion Cuisine for lunch. It was around a 30-40 minute wait even…read morethough we arrived past 1pm. It's a popular spot located in Markham where tons of people enjoy coming here for dim sum and for dinner. Once we were seated, we got the ordering sheet where you can check off all the items you want to order. We ordered a bunch of items: Deep Fried Octopus Tentacles, Deep Fried Shrimp Ball with Almond, Salt and Pepper Fish, Baiyun Phoenix Claws, E-Fu Noodles and the Ginger Scallion Beef Tripe. Most of the items were very well made. Not too salty and quite flavourful. You can taste MSG but it wouldn't be dim sum if you didn't taste it. Special mentions go to the Deep Fried Shrimp Ball with Almond because I love how it is coated with Almond Slices and it was not too oily. I also really liked the Deep Fried Octopus Tentacles since it was not battered like crazy and I loved the Salt and Pepper Fish. The E-Fu Noodles were a bit bland, but it might have been because everything else had more flavour to it. We originally ordered their duck, but since we came later in the day, it was sold out. I would recommend getting it when you visit. The customer service was not too bad. They had multiple servers walking around but you have to ask specific ones if you wanted to have more hot water for your tea or wanted to add an order. Standard customer service in a Chinese restaurant. I like the look of the restaurant since it is more of a banquet hall type with a bunch of tanks with fresh fish and assorted seafood. Good spot for big groups and for a family gathering.

Had dim sum and it's good but not amazing…read more We had the following: Har gow: possibly largest in the city. Gigantic. It's missing the juice thot accumulates inside Pork and veggie dumpling; average. No big deal Siu Mai: also massive. Loosely put together so it falls apart which is annoying. Tastes poor Beef tendon : huge pieces that are intact. Excellent Octopus in curry sauce : exactly the way it should be. Plump and good flavour. Sticky rice with chicken in lotus leaves: small portion. I don't like chicken only versions Shrimp and pork spring rolls: these suck Pan fried turnip cake: huge but way too much filler. Didn't taste like turnip and more like filler. Deep fried seaweed roll with fish and shrimp: delicious cuz it's fried. Tastes like the fish portion of the lobster claws you can get at dinner. Pan fried pork and chive dumplings: mediocre Bbq pork rice roll: above average. But not spectacular Bbq pork rice: huge portion and a great value. Didn't taste like the dinner one I had before which I considered among the best in the city. Service was ok but they were too aggressive trying to clear the tables and giving me the bill. They kept getting in the way as I tried to pack my leftovers. Overall the know what people look for and push towards it (size) but they do lose on flavour execution as some things are so bad it's upsetting (turnip cake, Siu Mai, spring roll)

Meant to go next door to Starchiva but they were closed due to maintenance, so decided to come to…read moreAsian Queen! It was pretty busy on a Sunday afternoon and the place itself isn't very spacious compared to some of the banquet halls that other dimsum places are in. We waited around 30 minutes and was able to get a table for 5. This place has some quirks. You have to pay extra if you want a teapot ($5.99), but there's a self service station to help yourself to hot tea or water, and sauces. The menu is pretty extensive, even having some interesting dishes like matcha shrimp rolls (not good btw lol). Their shrimp & pork dumplings (siu mai) was pretty good despite what it looked like. The fact that everything was very steaming hot upon arrival is noteworthy. Prices aren't bad either, and if you come on a weekday, all dimsum dishes are $5.80 regardless of size. Tip: They have a membership offer - you purchase the membership for $100 but you also get $100 in store credit immediately. You'll also get 10% off, so it's definitely worth it, especially if your bill is over $100 already. The waitress recommended that we purchase it before paying our bill so we could get that 10% off too. When the bill arrived, there's an automatic service charge of 10% (surprisingly not 12-15% like most other places these days). I'm not usually in this area but I'd definitely return here if I am!

Asian queen is located on the west side of Bayview right around Loblaws…read more Its marketed as a "self serve" dim sum place, but really the only self serve is the tea and soy milk (more on this later). The pricing is quite similar if not the same as any other dim sum places in the area, but you do save on the infamous per person tea fee. Most if not all dim sum places will charge a "tea fee" for each adult in your party. So when you walk into dim sum you ask for a certain type of tea and you get charged $2.50 per head. At Asian queen they still have an upsell on the tea if you want but if you dont opt for anything you can get basic tea for free and save that fee. Also they have hot soy milk available for self serve too. In addition condiments (hot sauce, soy sauce etc) is also self serve. The dim sum is quite decent taste wise and they also have all your usual dim sum fare as well. This place is a bit more no frills then other fancy dim sum places. Most dim sum places also double as a banquet hall, while at Asian queen its purely for dim sum. Overall I have become a regular when its just a small quicker group gathering for dim sum I come here.

All S,M,and L dishes are for only$5.5 if your order is in before 11am. You can still make it a lunch. I called on Tuesday and ordered at 10:30am and my friendpicked up at around 11am and got the food to my house sround 11:30am and we had the dim sum as lunch and the food was well packed so everything was still fresh and hot!! I've discovered a dessert dim sum item that is so good that you must try. It's their Mango mochi which is not too sweet and very tasty. I don't usually order dessert but this one is so delicious. I'll be coming back for sure to have the mango mochi. If you like Japanese mochi then you must try this!

The food was good, as expected like a typical Chinese dinner. The portions were decent and the food had good flavour. It didn't wow but hit the spot. They don't have complimentary soup but we ordered their daily soup and it was reasonable priced. The highlight was the complimentary dessert which included a sweet potato sago, mango jello and almond cookies. The service was very good though. They were so attentive and quick to action. I believe this is the same owner as Yumi Legend.

Tried 紫蘭軒 Purple Orchid for the first time and unfortunately it wasn't really my forte…read more Considering it's a relatively new restaurant, I was a little surprised by how basic and older everything inside felt. It's definitely a very casual dining environment. The tables are actually chunky mahjong tables covered with disposable tablecloths, so don't come expecting much in terms of atmosphere. Service was pretty average as well. Some of our dishes took quite a while to come out, and after waiting for so long, we eventually ended up cancelling a few of the remaining dishes. The food itself was a bit of a mixed bag. Some dishes were alright, but overall there wasn't anything that really stood out or made us want to come back. One thing to be aware of is that they automatically add a 12% service charge to the bill before tax, on top of the tea charge that you already typically pay at dim sum restaurants. Personally, I'm not a fan of automatic service charges, especially when the service itself was just average. Not every restaurant is going to be everyone's cup of tea, but unfortunately this one just wasn't for us and I don't think we'd come back.

Good variety and family-friendly atmosphere! We came to…read moreAwesome Hotpot & BBQ to try their Premium AYCE menu and were pleasantly surprised by the amount of variety they offer. They have hotpot, BBQ, dim sum, seafood, and plenty of options, which makes it a great choice when dining with a group because everyone can find something they enjoy. The meat quality was good, and the newly renovated restaurant has a spacious, comfortable atmosphere that works well for family meals and celebrations. The $39.99 AYCE menu provides good value considering the number of options available. The hotpot broth was okay -- enjoyable but not the highlight of the meal. I think this place shines more for the variety, BBQ options, and overall dining experience. Parents will appreciate that high chairs and booster seats are available. However, there is no changing table, no kids' utensils, and the washroom is outside the restaurant. Overall, a nice Richmond Hill spot for AYCE hotpot and BBQ, especially for families and larger groups. Would come back to try more dishes!
