Today, tried a newly renovated place for lunch (dim sum), let me tell you this, it was a real disappointment. When they provided with a table it was right next to an exterior door, with people going in and out. The was a cold draft, we even had to tell the hostess/manager, if they could provide a divider to divert the draft from hitting our table. We ordered 9 dim sum dishes, one be Roasted Pig Mixed Cold Jellyfish, which was $23.80. I had the idea that it would be a fair portion. When it came, I was shocked, it was only 6 pieces of Roasted Pig. When I spoke with the manager about the portion size, he commented "for that price it is fair". There was not apologies and walked away, nor was it written on the menu. If I had known it was only 6 pieces (size of your index and middle finger put together). I would not have ordered it. If you want to have Roasted Pig, you can get better deals else where. Also, ordered Marinated Chicken Feet for $13.98, when it came to table, it was also a disappointment, part of the chicken feet was dark in colour, not even sure if it was even edible or not. Another dim sum dish that I have order was the steamed chicken with fish maw. The chicken was okay, but there was only two small pieces of fish maw, (the size of each piece was 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch). The order 6 dim sum dishes that was order was mediocre, tasted better from other Dim Sum restaurant. When I received the bill for the meal it came out to be $119.50, they even had included the tip. They didn't even give me an option weather a tip was even worthy. I will definitely not be returning to this place. I definitely do not recommend anyone to come to this restaurant. I would consider blacklisting this restaurant. It's simply deceiving customers. 今天去一家新裝修的點心店吃午飯，真是太失望了。他們為我們安排的桌子緊鄰外門，進進出出的人絡繹不絕。冷風直吹，我們甚至得跟領位員/經理說能不能加個隔板擋風。我們點了九道點心，其中一道是烤乳豬配涼拌海蜇，價格是23.8美元。我以為分量應該挺足的。結果端上來的時候，我大吃一驚，烤乳豬隻有六塊！我跟經理說了分量的問題，他居然說「這個價錢算合理」。他既沒有道歉，也沒有在菜單上寫明，就直接走開了。如果我知道只有六塊（大概食指和中指並排那麼大），我肯定不會點這道菜。想吃烤乳豬的話，去別的地方一定能找到更划算的。我還點了13.98美元醃漬的雞爪，端上來後也很失望，雞爪有一部分顏色發黑，我甚至懷疑它能不能吃。我點的另一道點心是魚肚蒸雞，雞肉還可以，但是魚肚只有兩小塊（每塊只有半英寸見方）。我點的這六道點心味道平平，不如其他點心店的好吃。結帳時，帳單竟然高達119.50美元，還包含了小費。他們甚至都沒問我是否該給小費。我絕對不會再來這家店了。我絕對不推薦任何人來這家餐廳。我會考慮把這家餐廳封鎖。他們簡直就是在欺騙顧客。 read more

New Century will feed a large group. Their lobster, Dungeness crab, and sea bass combo for eight ($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. read more

IMO This is the best dim sum. Each time I have been for several years now and every time it has been consistent. Consistently good. Consistently fresh. Consistently well made. And to note this restaurant has real dim sum chefs there meaning it's fresh not frozen. I can instantly tell if dim sum is fresh or frozen. If you have not made a visit. This is your next dim sum spot. read more

Literally, the best DimSum I've ever had in my life! We ordered 5 dishes and each one was so delicious! They were so flavourful that they can even not eaten with soy sauce. Except the ChongFan, it is the most special; it is served with a bottle of heated soy sauce. I never had chong fan being served like that but I found it makes so much sense to do so. Chong fan will be sticky when its temperature is down and pouring hot soy sauce (not hot sauce, lol) keeps the chong fan hot. The service is also good. Almost all of them can speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin, amazing! It's a big restaurant but it's so full of people. You usually need to wait for 30 minutes to be seated. read more

Woke up craving for some dim sum in Toronto and Google brought me here and man, was it good. We've been to quite a few dim sum places in Canada but I must say New Century is on the top of our list now. Service was fast and efficient, food was tasty, plenty of parking and plenty of seating. Reminds me of Hong Kong! Specials were suggested and it was so good. In and out and our bellies are happy! read more

I do need to preface this with the fact that I'm quite a clean eater and I don't favour Chinese cuisine. The pros: spacious-they have private rooms with karaoke along with a huge main dinning space, clean- for a Asian restaurant it was clean! The staff is friendly and speak English well (the ones we interacted with). They leave you alone if you want- we were in a private room and it seems we could have stayed all night! lol The mediocre: the food, we ordered the family prix fix menu and truthfully I've had better at other places but this could be just my preference. I don't eat meat and it was a very meat heavy menu. I did find the fish to be beautifully steamed and delicious, the lobster was SALTY.. my family really enjoyed the duck and pork options. The con: I love red bean soup and this red bean soup was not good, I was also quite surprised that our dinner was over 1k for 8 people and there was just tea- no alcohol. Truthfully we could have had a fulfilling dinner somewhere else for less- especially an Asian restaurant. read more

New Century Restaurant I attended a group dinner a few weeks ago. Several in our group had commented that we attended a wedding here about 20 years ago. This was my first time back. Food 3.5 Service 4 Ambience 3.75 The restaurant appeared renovated. Decor is attractive. Seating and tables were quite spaciously set out. The food is nicely presented. We ordered the set menu for six and added a couple more dishes. Their menu is quite extensive. Dishes ordered: Seafood and Fish Maw Soup Double Lobster- was really small. Beef tenderloin with potatoes Tofu and shrimp Long green beans Fried fish Half steamed chicken Sweet and Sour Pork E-Fu Noodles Fried rice Important: It was really tricky to find the entrance to the actual restaurant. Several in our group entered through the entrance we each thought would be the restaurant and then we walked through the different paths in the mall to get to the entrance. We needed the help of the security desk in the mall. The mall closes at 9:00pm but one can still exit from the mall after 9pm at one of the entrances to the mall. I hope this is helpful. Outdoor parking is available outside in the plaza parking lot. read more

New Century is an authentic Chinese restaurant offering dim sum by paper order form. There is usually a line on weekends and you may need to wait 20-40 min for a table depending on your group size. It can be difficult to flag down a server to pay. The servers general speak both Chinese (Cantonese) and English. The food is hot, flavourful, and authentic. My favorite dish is the Cheung-fun (Rice Noodle Roll). read more

My friend since high school was in town a few weeks ago. She now lives in Victoria. I hadn't seen her since before the pandemic. We are different. I'm a planner. She and her childhood friend craved dim sum. They let me know the night before that they wanted to hit Markham for dim sum with me. They wanted suggestions on an eatery that had good sim sum. It wasn't exactly a last-minute plan. It was on short notice, as we were meeting on a Thursday. Luckily, I was working from home, so it worked out that I could go for lunch by leaving my home for a change. I recommended New Century Restaurant. I'm not sure why I never reviewed it before. It has never disappointed me, so I was hoping that it would satisfy their dim sum needs. I live ten minutes away by car. I got an update that they were fifteen minutes away. I had forgotten that my fifteen minutes is different than my friend's version. I feel like I was German in a past lifetime and that I'm perhaps too punctual for my own good. My friend and her friend? Not so much! It was busy when I got to New Century Plaza, where this eatery is. I did manage to find an available parking spot. I was happy. I let them know that I'd get a table for us. I entered the mall entrance and walked all the way down to the eatery. There's also a non-mall entrance to this restaurant that I found out about later. I like going to dim sum because I get to practise my Cantonese and dust off the cobwebs. I had a nice woman greet me. I indicated that I'd like a table for three. She led me to a spacious table. She then asked me what tea I'd like. I said jasmine in Cantonese. She nodded and got some. I let my friend know that I got us table A6 closest to the wall before the mall entrance. It was great seeing her and meeting her friend. She was thankful that I had mentioned the table number in a sea of Chinese folks with dark hair like mine! They missed the rolling carts during dim sum. Sadly, this place didn't have any in the afternoon, but they were still okay with it. I suggested that we get six or seven different dim sum items first. If we wanted more, we could add to it. They liked that plan. My friend doesn't do beef. Instead, we ended up looking at a paper menu and selecting what we wanted with a pencil. We got these items: - Har gow - Siu mai - Steamed baby octopus in curry sauce - Steamed sticky rice in a lotus leaf - Shrimp rice rolls - Pork rice rolls - Steamed chicken and chives dumplings Service was decent here. A woman came over to grab our menu and food started to appear at our table. The jasmine tea was excellent. We got hot water fairly often, which was perfect. The food was excellent. It was authentic Cantonese dim sum. The har gow, siu mai, and steamed chicken and chives dumplings were massive, as if they grew up on steroids. They loved them and were so happy. I was happy that they liked my suggestion. Mission accomplished! My friend was so delighted with the dim sum that she took photos to send back to her partner in Victoria. It was cool. The steamed baby octopus in curry sauce is the best that I have had in the greater Toronto area. The octopus was perfectly steamed. The curry sauce was awesome. I'd come back just for this dish alone. They are into rice rolls. I was pleased because I love rice rolls, too. We got the shrimp and pork. The filling was generous in both. It was different that the pork rice rolls seemed to be stacked on the plate. The shrimp ones were presented normally and came with greens, which felt fancy and was different. They were delicious. They do rice rolls well here. We also got steamed sticky rice that was wrapped in a lotus leaf. My friend's childhood friend was wondering about what she was eating. It was yellow. I figured out that it was the yolk of a egg in it. We all loved how perfect this sticky rice was with Chinese sausage, egg, and more. The company was wonderful. I like when you meet someone for the first time and it feels comfortable. It was the case with my friend's friend. My friend surprised me by picking up the tab. She was thrilled that the price was right for the dim sum quality that we had experienced. She let me know that Victoria doesn't have decent dim sum. I'm so glad that she got her fix here. She used her credit card to pay. It was a nice treat. This eatery has washrooms. I didn't use the women's washroom. The other two did and didn't have any issues. There were more available parking spots at 3 pm. If you want to do dim sum then, parking is less stressful. The restaurant is huge. You can easily have your wedding party or a massive bash here. It's funny that we were so stuffed that we couldn't finish the last massive har gow. I asked for a container for it for my friend's friend. It fit perfectly in a tiny clear container. Perfect! I had a great time catching up with my friend and meeting her cool longtime friend. It was a wonderful afternoon chatting over dim sum and jasmine tea. (115) read more

new century restaurant used to be a go to spot while growing up in this area, and since they have renovated, the decor is clean and luxurious. they removed the cart ladies and have a pen and paper to order food now, which seems pretty standard. we ordered 40 items so we expected a bit of a wait for everything, but came in a timely manner! Food was delicious and the families favourites is the rice rolls, from beef, pork, then shrimp. we enjoyed all the classics and would definitely continue to go for morning dimsum, but they do get busy read more

I haven't been to New Century Chinese restaurant in a long time and it was most likely for dim sum back then. This time, I was here for a gala, featuring a ten course banquet dinner. Yummm! As usual, this feast started with a platter of Roasted Suckling Pig with Jellyfish. Scallops and Chicken with Snap Peas followed, along with Stuffed Crab Claws, and a Seafood with Fish Maw Soup. The food just kept coming, with Sweet and Sour Pork, Crispy Fried Chicken, and Lobster up next. We were all getting stuffed but it's hard to refuse the Steamed Fish, Fried Rice, and Noodles. Our meal ended with light desserts and full bellies! The food was all delicious, and the service was efficient, albeit not the friendliest (from our server). The restaurant was renovated since my last visit and it looked good, nice decor Overall, it was a good evening of tasty food and festivities. read more

They have some really good dim sum in Toronto. We stopped off at New Century Restaurant in Markham based on a YouTube video extolling the dim sum. I have to say it was just as good if not better than many of the dim sum restaurants in NYC (my hometown). They don't do the dim sum on the rolling cart but in many ways that better..dim sums are freshly made. We have many dishes. I love the congee with pork and preserved egg, cheung fun with shrimp, fried beef ribs with honey, steamed pork meatball and pork siu mai. read more

As a bit of a celebration I took the family of 5 to this place. Google claimed it was the best dim sum in east end Toronto. Easy to get to, easy parking. Seated right away (lucky #7 table). Each of us had to choose an item or two. Items came hot and in a steady stream. Wish though there was a lazy Susan turntable for easy sharing. Square steamer boxes. We ended up with 11 dishes , lot of small ones. All great and were a wonderful experience for the younger members in another culture. They ended up being proficient with chopsticks. The place is a repeater. Lady looking after us was courteous, prompt and helpful. The place had a wonderful ambience and reminded us of HK. The experience as fabulous, entertaining & fun read more

We had an early birthday celebration for my aunt. We returned to a familiar restaurant for dinner, which had undergone a beautiful renovation. The only disappointing aspect was that, due to a wedding taking place, we were limited to ordering from the provided set menus. (I was not informed of this when I made the reservation.) Overall, the food was excellent (I didn't take photos of all the food), except for the chicken, which was not presented appealingly. Despite this, the service was exceptional. read more

Came by for dim sum the other day and it was surprisingly a decent experience. New Century is located in a decrepit Asian mall with parking available in the parking garage or in the private lot. The interior of the restaurant seems recently remodeled and luxurious although the carpet and seat coverings were starting to show age. Staff wore a uniform, mask, and gloves. Started off with the baked BBQ pork buns and they were freshly baked with soft bread, flavorful BBQ pork, and topped with some light icing. Moved on to the BBQ pork rice noodle rolls which were very thin and the flavored soy sauce was served on the side. My favorite was the pork rice noodle rolls which had super slippery pork which was tasty. The squid dish was lackluster as it was overcooked and extremely rubbery. The pea sprouts were mediocre as some of it was rather past their prime... The beef tendons were tender and flavorful. The har gow was great with numerous fresh and flavorful shrimp wrapped in a translucent wrapping. Service by the staff was available. The washroom was a touch bizarre. The integrated soap dispenser behind the mirrors were non-operational. There were bottles of hand sanitizer with some mysterious liquid that may have been soap. ~$23/head after tax and gratuity for dim sum with plenty of leftovers. read more

I wanted to try out a new dim sum place and New Century Restaurant was pretty good. It was quite busy inside but service was pretty quick overall. We were able to get a table, our food, and service pretty swiftly. The chicken feet, sui mai, and fried shrimp roll were my top 3. The har gow and fried shrimp ball with almonds were good too. I ordered the steamed bean curd roll but I should have ordered the steamed bean curd roll with chicken and mushroom. Both are two complete opposites. I wasn't a big fan of the steamed bean curd roll. This dim sum place is a bit on the pricier side but the portion sizes are larger than others. Although, there is a tea charge. Overall, New Century Restaurant is worth the try. read more

New century used to be a traditional place for dim sum and Cantonese cuisine for decades. Now it is coming back with full renovations. New interior decorations are elegant and spacious, beautiful lighting with high ceilings, can easily serve over 200 ppl for big events and weddings. We came in Sunday morning at 11:10am, and it's starting to lineup. We luckily got the last available table and seated in 5min. Ordered: Steamed pork ribs- 4/5 Pan fried lotus root cake-3.5/5 Plain congee with fried dough-4/5 Slow cooked beef tenderloin-3.5/5 Fried ball with black sesame- 4.5:5 Fried dumplings with chicken fillings-5/5 Service is very fast, and all dim sum is freshly cooked . They are good at fried dim sums, and the options are big, 4 per serving compared to other places 3per serving. Price wise is towards a bit pricey end,but considering the portion, it's still reasonable. See my picture for dim sum prices. For family gatherings, would recommend! read more

Coming from Mississauga, this place is pretty good! Show up EARLY in order to avoid the crowds. The parking lot isn't fun once hungry people start making their way here. Portions themselves are HUGE.

Bring a fan if you're coming, the AC is non existent. We had to fan ourselves with menus from other restaurants. Food wise it was really meh. Lots of MSG but at least their tea was good quality lol. The leaves were big and there was a good amount in the teapots. Crab and fish maw soup was twice the price at Mr. Congee and didn't even taste as fresh or crabby as Mr. Congee. Not worth it tbh. The fried rolls were too oily. Turns out the spring rolls were 95% vegetable and had 1/5 of a shrimp embedded in there. The shrimp roll was just shrimp inside :( My mom said the spare ribs were good. I didn't take a pic because I'm not into that dish. The shrimp dumplings were cute and possibly the only redeemable dish. I think the little ha gow in the middle was adorable! Decor was big, and looked grand. There are also vip rooms, which cost $0.50 additional tea charge per person (so $2.50 instead of $2 per person). I prob wouldn't come back. It's too hot, servers were elusive, too much msg, and we could find similar or better quality food at similar or slightly slower prices. The only good things were the tea quality and shrimp dumplings. read more

This is the kind of Chinese restaurant that you won't mind taking your white friends to. The decor is upscale, the waitstaff are super nice (!?) and the food was amazing. But of course, you pay for all the fancy. So be prepared to leave with your wallet a bit lighter. The portions were HUGE!!!! Almost made me not mind the prices so much.

There are two entrances to this restaurant. There's one from inside the mall, and the other is directly from the parking lot at the back. This is a rather large restaurant that would be great for banquets and weddings. The restaurant was full when we went for weekday dim sum, and we had to project our voices to be heard by others at the table. We were given a paper menu to mark off how many of each dish we wanted. There are a wide variety of dishes available on the menu. They have steamed and fried dim sum, rich noodle rolls, congee, baked dishes, desserts, and more. All of the dishes that we ordered were delicious. The har gow and siu mai are the biggest I've ever seen at dim sum. The sweet taro with gingko was something I hadn't tried before. This was taro cut into big rectangular cuboids, fried, and covered in sugar. One piece may not look like much, but it's quite dense and heavy. read more

New Century is a very big restaurant in an older Chinese mall (New Century Plaza) that's been around for decades.  This restaurant has also equally been around a long time but it's been renovated in a classy traditional style and under new ownership in the last couple of years.  We enjoyed a traditional dim sum and it was an excellent outing at again a very modest cost.  We had 10 dim sum items and the total pre-tip bill including a $12 CD tea charge was just $93.79 CD or $69.47 USD.  I've come to learn that Toronto's food cost is lower than Chicagoland's but still! We had all traditional dim sum items, and nothing particularly exotic or novel, but it was all fresh and excellent.  The beef tendon dim sum is done particularly well up here and is more melt-in-your-mouth tender than what we've found in Chicago for whatever reason.  The pan fried lotus root cake was a little different in that it had egg batter around it.  The food and menu photos pretty much show what we had.  Thumbs up for an excellent traditional and classic dim sum outing at a great price! read more

3.5 STARS Have been longing to try dimsum here as I've heard a lot of good things here, but my family have a dimsum spot we always go to. Woke up super early and very hungry on Sunday and decided to go have dimsum with just my family of 3. It is located inside the mall, filled with flower shops and dried medicinal herbs. Didn't take long for us to find the place. The restaurant has been renovated and looks nice inside. It was already filled with people, but we were lucky to get a table since it was just the three of us. Ordered your typical dimsum dishes and didn't wait too long for the first dish to arrive. Food here is served hot and fresh, which I really appreciate, but I found the dishes a little underwhelming. The best dish was the siu mai. Everything else was just okay. 8 dishes came to a total of $80 after taxes. I'll continue to go back to my dim sum spot. read more

Main entrance is within the mall itself so it does take some navigating to find the entrance. Really spacious banquet style restaurant and there were a lot of tables and seats.

I particularly liked how thin and glossy their cheung fun dishes were (got the beef and snow pea and shrimp and snow pea). I also enjoyed that they put the soy sauce on the side and you can add as much soy sauce as you want in your own dish. Service was good. Food came out pretty quickly once the order was put in.

Sundays are for family dim sum! Newly renovated with a beautiful modern interior for your weekly sunday family dim sum. Get here early as there are a lot of people also waiting to get seats for lunch. Can expect long wait times! Food is fresh and satisfies all traditional chinese dim sum cravings. The regular har gow and siu mais are a must here! Octopus tentacles were also great and chewy, seasoned well. Chicken feet was saucey and delicious. One of the best dishes we got (can't remember the name of it) was a fried noodle with black bean beef sauce. The noodles were cut up into triangles and are super crispy and pairs well with the black bean sauce. This is a must get! Don't forget to order a side of chili oil, not that spicy but adds a great mini kick and additional flavour to your food! read more

I have been lucky enough to try Dim Sum in a few major cities. While on vacation, we tried New Century. After perusing the menu for our usual suspects, we ordered. Our table is usually pretty filled with our little steam baskets and it was no different on this outing. One new dish we tried was the abalone soup. It seemed like a very large dumpling in a soup bowl filled with a flavorful chicken stock with pieces of shrimp, scallops, dried shrimp, pieces of mushroom, abalone and a few other items I couldn't discern. It was well worth a try. (Dough for dumpling seemed to me to be more of an egg noodle rather than an actual wrapper for a dumpling.) The shrimp with almonds was much like other shrimp balls with the exception of the size. This shrimp ball was definitely 2x the size of any other shrimp ball I've had the pleasure of devouring. Food is delicious. I enjoyed my lunch and would like a venue such as this in the states. Staff were always rushing to deliver food, clear tables and take care of the spacious dining room. Parking was plentiful and free. Definitely worth a visit. read more

I haven't been here in ages, and recently tried it out without high expectations. They renovated recently so the space is pretty nice. The food was also pretty good. I really liked the persevered egg congee, and it was a pretty big bowl. All the other staples were also decent, no complaints. The only thing to keep in mind are the prices. It's on the pricier side, with each dim sun averaging to be around $6++ each. I came at 9am on a Sunday morning and it wasn't busy at all. About a quarter of the tables were full when I left around 10am. read more

I don't love usually enjoy dimsum restaurants but this one was pretty great. I especially like how large and spacious it is (not crowded like many restaurants). There's a good selection of food and it's pretty good. Not drowning in oil. The portion size is normal and I think the prices are pretty fair. They also have dinner service which I will say that I'm a fan of and would choose over their dimsum. We got one of their combos with the suckling pig and it was probably one of the best I've had in a while. read more

Spacious and clean interior; attentive service; accepts credit cards; has fresh live fish, crabs, eel and lobster. Went for dim sum and flavor was not as good as Chef 88 Elite. Had traditional dim sum offerings that other restaurants do not offer like the "cotton chicken" and chicken wrapped in beancurd. Malai go looked good but tasted a lot of the baking soda(?) so it was a little bitter. read more
