I love to drop by this place when I'm at Markham Yorktech Costco. The display is clean and prices and weights are clearly displayed. Upon entering, you will see rows and rows of display cases full of frozen dimsum and foods. There is so much variety. Take a good look and you might see some interesting not-so-common dishes. Black bean pork ribs and salted egg buns are a personal fav for me. Much better deal than at restaurants for sure (you know many of them use frozen anyway). If you'd like to snack on something right away, they have hot ready-to-eat snacks near the counter too, like egg tarts and BBQ pork buns. Unlike quite a few other cash-only Chinese frozen dimsum places, they take card payments, which works great for me. That being said, the price is a little higher. Plenty of free parking for the plaza. read more

I came here on a weekday at 6:00 pm We were the only ones inside :( They have a retail section to the left for prepackaged candies and trinkets. They have a dining section in the center and the frozen dim sum to the right I specifically came for the dim sum Unfortunately it didn't wow me The price point was $5.99 to $6.99 as the cheapest to upwards of $12.99 to $13.99 for the high end I grabbed a few must haves 1. Sui mai 2. Har how 3. Bean curd rolls 4. Sticky rice I noticed for this price range the quantity was lacking There was some serious shrinkflation. The pieces inside each bag were only 4-5 and they were very small It would have been ok if I took it home and the taste and flavour were a wow factor But again unfortunately It was a disappointment I probably won't be back as I will go to other frozen dim sum locations namely (FuKee Bao Dim) Sorry not my cup of tea namely (Yum Chaa) read more

Stop by after going to the Club (Costco). The frozen dim sums is good and the soups is great when you don't feel like making it from scratch. Just remember to bring your own bags, you will definitely need more than one bag carrying everything you want. read more

The ready made / baked egg tarts here are so good! It's big! Perfectly lightly baked, jiggly egg custard, fist and crispy flaky pastry. Very good egg tarts!! Also the ready made baked bbq snowy top buns are so good! It's huge, grab one to snack on before shopping. Now for the FROZEN FOOD The dim sum is hit or miss so tried it and see which ones you like and which one you don't everyone has different tastes. The frozen cooked food dishes are too small and too little food inside The give out coupons for buying a certain amount and you can use it right away! I bought over $100 and got a $10 coupon to use on the same day with no buying limit, I grabbed another 2 pack of dim sum for free which was awesome! The woman working the cashier was also very sweet and gave my child a free mango pudding. read more

I was searching for the charcoal salted egg yolk custard and was directed here--so glad I came! The store is absolutely beautiful, honestly the prettiest food store I've ever visited. Everything is well-organized and impeccably clean. The layout is spacious yet filled with a wide variety of products. The service was friendly and pleasant. I highly recommend this place for all your frozen dim sum needs! read more

Specialty frozen dim sum shop that has all your dim sum needs and more! Saw that this new shop called Kwan was open and was very curious to see what they sold so I popped into the shop to take a look for myself. Upon entering, the shop is huge with lots of freezers for frozen dim sum. On the left of the shop you can find an assortment of Chinese and Japanese snacks and candy. To the right of the shop is where you will find the frozen dim sum. Any dim sum item you are craving, they will probably have. In the middle of the shop are tables where you can sit and eat perhaps some of their baked goods that you buy. They have some unique dim sum items that you can find at higher end dim sum spots such as molten egg steamed buns (black coloured buns with a swipe of gold colouring on top). These were great to make at home and so tasty with the ooey gooey salted egg yolk in the middle. I also got the chicken feet which was made fresh and found in the fridge area. This dish was also so good once heated up - highly recommend. In the back of the store you can find frozen Korean food. And there is also a bakery section where they sell cakes and buns. The staff were super friendly and upsold me on some bbq pork pineapple buns that were fresh and piping hot. They were so delicious and I can't wait to get them again. I'd probably be back for more frozen dim sum options along with trying their cakes. They sound delicious! read more

A one stop shop! I initially came here to check out their frozen dimsum selection but was surprised that there was much more than that! Their frozen dimsum options are quite vast, with many favorites and more! I picked up some go-to items like pork ribs in black bean sauce and their molten egg black sesame buns; as well as some new items to try like their glutinous balls with black sesame (though I had a tough time choosing between that one and their mango... it also comes in durian, brown sugar, and pomelo!) They also have a bakery section where we picked up some chocolate-dipped butter cookies and their flakey pastry egg tarts (so good and warm to eat!) They also have a nice selection of cakes and other goods like BBQ pork pineapple bun. Last but not least, they also have a mini shop section that reminds me of Oomomo as there are snacks like imported chips and candies, as well as some small items like mini shovel spoons and wedding party favors. In the center of all of this is a beautifully constructed seating area for you to enjoy any ready-made foods. Overall, the place is well-kept and clean, and the staff were very friendly and informative. Fun fact: when you spend $50 cash, you will get a $5 coupon to use on your next visit! (That coupon has no minimum) read more

Was introduced to Kwan Specialty Shop last month when we came to pick up a black forest cake Mother's Day! Service was friendly enough but may take time to get help because the shop is big and sprawled out, and most of the staff were behind the counter. The outside is very dark. But once your step inside it was such a surprise! Nicely decorated, the space has a full bakery, cafe and tea shop, with pantry shop area and big frozen dim sum and desserts area. Must return to try more! The black forest cake was meh though. It was beautiful, but it was somewhat frozen in texture - and even after sitting out a while, it wasn't melting which is.... interesting. I have heard good things about the frozen dim sum though, so am curious to return and try that. read more

This is a store that specializes in frozen selections of many dim sum and classic Chinese dishes. They also offer some limited bakery and beverage items and they also have a small sit-down dining area. We picked up a selection of frozen buns and also a braised lamb casserole to try. The products were quite decent upon thawing and heating. The lamb casserole was a bit light on the meat content though. Of course, there is also a premium to be paid for the frozen convenience so it's not going to be your cheapest option. Bonnie was the friendly and engaging Cantonese attendant behind the counter, and she handed us out-of-towners a couple of thank-you and farewell bonus items. read more

I love that the desserts were not too sweet. Flavours meshed well and and felt natural. I really loved the Osmanthus goji jelly!! It was super refreshing especially in the heat. Ladies were very nice and answered our questions with detail. As you can see in my interior pic, it's pretty trendy and modern. It's great for buying a dessert and enjoying the asian atmosphere that this place offers. They also have frozen dimsum and steamed rice. You can buy them and eat in the restaurant. They also have a VIP membership program but I didn't really check out the details. They always have something new. Check them out! read more

It's a new spot where you can get frozen dim sum, snacks, loose tea leaf at a very reasonable price. The list goes on! Located right beside 乙龍天 Skyview Fusion Cuisine. In terms of the frozen food, I got veggie chicken nuggets and veggie bean burger. $5.99 each. The egg tart was so tasty. The pineapple buns I haven't tried it yet but if you get 6 no tax! They have hot vegetarian dish where it is ready to eat and for take out at the cashier. Overall, I enjoyed the egg tart, not too sweet and flaky. read more

Dim Sum Wholesale in Markham for frozen dimsum and authentic homestyle dishes!! we've always loved Kwan's dimsim restaurant when it was still around and we were so excited we can finally enjoy their food at home now! Lots of parking space in the plaza (woodbine/yorktech) next to Costco and lots of frozen dimsum specialties and all-time favourites! This place is mainly for purchases for frozen food and not much for dining in but their frozen items are easy to steam at home and ready to serve! Their website also says they have party trays for fried food and pasties but I've never tried. Maybe I will try and post another review later on! I highly recommend this place for an easy dimsum fix at home! read more

Going together some frozen dim sum at this place . It has not just dim sum, but has tea, chips and snack section, also has cake and fresh tart for sale. It is like tea place surrounded by high end grocery shop. There is a cashier that takes care of this shop and she is friendly. If you buy 6 egg tarts and will have 10% off. Pay in cash with $50 of frozen food can also have discounts read more

I drove by and decided to see what they sell here. There are baked goods like cake, egg tarts and pineapple buns, snacks like pockey , candies and some ramen/ instant noodles. There is also a section with frozen dim sums, and dishes you can reheat at home. I'm not sure about pricing as I don't usually purchase these type of frozen food . But I did get the golden black sesame bun which was 4 for $5.80. I also bought 2 pineapple cha Siu buns which they tried to give a promo as it was the end of the day and wanted to sell whatever was left. They had the flaky egg tarts too, I liked butter tarts instead but they didn't have any. The pineapple bun was quite small and was about $2.40 each after 30% off end of day sale. I thought it was a but expensive , but the taste and texture was good. There were cha Siu inside plus pineapples. They also sold a lot of different tea leaves. There is an area in the middle with chairs and tables that you can sit and chat. I asked if they sold tea or Coffee thinking that's the purpose for the tables and they don't sell them. So maybe it is just for you to enjoy the cake slices . Maybe I will come back to try the frozen dishes one day. read more

Frozen dim sum is their highlight with many varieties, of course Siu Mai and Har Gow and more .... in very reasonable prices. 9 pcs of Siu Mai for $4.99 and 6 pcs of Har Gow for $4.99 as well. Fresh and tasty. Get ready at home and steam it in 5 mins to have great dim sum same as restaurant quality. Worth to share with friends. Neat and tidy place and nice staff to help. Joined as their member to enjoy benefits. read more

2/5 This is sorely base on late night experience of the place and their cookies. I was passing by this place and thought maybe I should pick up some desserts. Unfortunately all small dessert cakes were sold out but they had plenty of cookies so I picked one up to try. Unfortunately, it was very disappointing. It was very dry and lack of of flavor. It's shame because packaging was nice enough to give out as a gift. Also, during my visit, there were no staff in the store except two customers in the corner table. After some waiting around, two staffs walk in front entrance. I was pretty confuse by this.. Overall, I was not impressed but maybe I will visit again to try their cakes and frozen dimsums. read more

Recommended by my friends and I instantly loved the space they have in there upon walking in. Clean, spacious and the place is well organized given how many items they have. I bought home some frozen traditional dim sum such as "steamed beef" "siu mai" fish balls, fish tofu, and dumplings. Simply steamed them at home for 5-10 mins and they tasted so amazing. I was very pleasantly surprised. The quality is honestly so much better than the ones you can get from asian grocery stores. Highly recommended! read more

This is a review of the frozen dim sum only. Flavours of the dim sum were on par with a good Chinese restaurant; however many of the dishes had too much taro as filler (was in the beef tendon, curry octopus and tripe). The meat in the bean curd roll also tasted a bit odd, likely it was the seasoning. Portions were reasonable, mostly double the size of a portion if you ate at a restaurant but prices weren't double. If you'll be eating a variety of dim sum though, be prepared to be constantly steaming...! While food tasted fine, I didn't feel the cost savings were sufficient to justify the effort required to steam everything and clean up afterwards. read more

Bought two frozen food items 梅子排骨 , 番茄豬扒 flavor wise both are ok. But they use the worst quality meat. Lots of big bones and big chunks of fat. There is hardly any meat. I had to threw out 2/3. Raise the price and give us good quality food. I do not recommend and I will not return. read more
