Your standard Chinese seafood restaurant located in Richmond Hill at Bayview and Weldrick. Space is not huge and the interior looks like it's been renovated with seafood tanks lining two walls but the dishes on the tables look older. They have some good combo dinner specials starting at 148 and up. They come with one main item and then you can choose additional dishes from the list. We went with the one that came with a steamed green bass and we then we chose 4 additional dishes from the list. You can add a Peking Duck for an additional 19.99 if you spend a minimum of 49.90. The special is available all week including weekends and is only available for dine in and dinner. In general the dishes were well prepared. The duck was sliced well and the crepes were nice and thin. The remainder meat and bones were cut really well, usually you just get a mass of bones with bits of meat attached but our plate was well presented. Only real complaint was the rice. We ordered 2 bowls to share and it was dry and hard. They clearly did not add enough water for the cooking process. Service was decent with a plate change mid meal. Nothing outstanding but also not the worst.
We visited a Chinese and seafood restaurant recently for lunch, and tried their roasted duck set along with some dim sum. The restaurant currently offers a 20% discount on dim sum, which is a great deal. The roasted duck was tasty, and they sliced the duck in front of you, which is great. but I found that it came with too few side dishes. If you wanted to add more sides, you'd have to pay extra, which felt a bit limiting. Despite that, the meal was enjoyable, and the dim sum was fresh and flavorful. Overall, I'd give the experience a solid 4 out of 5. It was a good meal, but the extra charges for adding side dishes did hold it back slightly. Still, definitely worth visiting, especially for those dim sum discounts!
Service was impeccable! The servers were very attentive. The ambience was nice. Bright restaurant in which they had pride in. Clean. Spacious. The food was hit and miss in different dishes. Hot & sour soup was delicious! Fried rice was okay....missing some love I think. Peking duck hit the spot because I was craving it! The most disappointing part was the roast pork and jellyfish dish. Jellyfish was watery. Pork needed flavour. Tasted very bland and herbally....weird flavour. Definitely going back for duck though!
I just saw this health review the exact same day we dined here GROSS PLEASE READ AND AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS https://www.newmarkettoday.ca/local-news/richmond-hill-chinese-restaurant-charged-for-pest-prevention-contamination-issues-11531505 DISREGARD REVIEW BELOW 1 star only GROSSNESS, I'm going to PUKE I'm going to go right in the middle for this place at 3 star rating. First off they have a promo for a $19.99 Peking duck that brought me into this place. And The Peking duck was the star of the show. It had crispy skin and very juicy and flavourful meat. For $19.99, it was well worth it and I would have paid $60-$80 for the quality. Unfortunately, the other 3 dishes majorly disappointed. 1. Black pepper beef 2. Sweet and sour pork 3. Seafood and tofu pot First the black pepper beef, although it had a nice flavour, the beef was horrendous and had the quality of AYCE sushi buffet beef. Which is despicable. And for $38 was way overpriced Second, the sweet and sour pork was passable but barely and for just $22 was doable Lastly, the seafood and tofu hotpot was horrendous. It had a gross fishy taste and smell and for another whopping $38. It too was savagely overpriced. All in all they offer the special Peking duck at $19.99 but gouge you on the other dishes. I wouldn't mind if the other dishes were up to par in quality and flavours But They don't. I will still give 3 stars as again the Peking duck was top notch. But The other dishes were borderline gross Therefore I won't be returning and a recommendation?? Try if you want just avoid the 3 dishes described above and definitely get the Peking duck special at $19.99.
Booked their largest private room for a party of 30+ people and the experience was amazing! I went to check out their space in advance to make sure it was big enough/ what I wanted. Their private room has a karaoke that you can request for and it fit three large tables with a smaller table of the side for them to put their plates/ utensils/ cake, etc. Service was also great, with the servers being very on top of all things! Now onto the food. It was absolutely amazing! I ordered a set menu per table in advance and paid a deposit and the food did not disappoint at all. It's your traditional Chinese coursed meals that comes with lobster, suckling pig, crab, fish, chicken, rice and veggies. Some highlights: Abalone mushroom snow peas 5/5 - Perfect sauce that went with the ingredients. The abalone was chewy and cooked perfectly. You're able to add additional abalone so each person gets one (since I had more than ten people per table) Suckling pig 5/5 - Crispy, tender and delicious. This is a pre order item for sure, since they need to allocate for this. Double lobster 5/5 - Came in a huge mountain of lobster per table. Meaty and fried to perfection. Duck 5/5 - This was an added item I chose for per table. It had a crispy skin and meaty, juicy interior. A must get! Also had to order this in advance when I paid the deposit. Double crab 5/5 - Steamed and delicious. Cooked perfectly with the meat being super delicious and clean. Sea bass 5/5 - No complaints here. So good! Lobster fried rice 5/5 - An amazing finisher with each rice being the perfect texture. Fried chicken 5/5 - Crispy skin, juicy meat. Delicious dipped in their salt pepper mixture. Their in house dessert was the traditional red bean soup, but found out after that they also had mango sago which they didn't offer (only to a couple of people). They allow you to bring a cake too if you'd like and they help you serve it as well. You can also bring your own alcohol, they just have a corkage fee per bottle. The end felt a bit rushed as we were the last ones left in the restaurant, but we didn't know since we were tucked away in our private room. Regardless, it was an amazing time with amazing food. Can't wait to go back for large parties and have this set menu again!
We had an enjoyable and comfortable dinner as far as the food. They have a bright, spacious, and elegant dining room though it may be getting a little dated as many of the chairs had little fabric tears on the seats. It was a Thursday and they had an exceptionally great value Thursday special of a 2 course Peking duck for just $28.80 CAD or $21.18 USD. They also had an ongoing promo of 15% off cash special, which we also opted for. We ordered: - 2 course Peking duck - Seafood casserole - Black bean bitter melon beef - Lotus roots with mushrooms and string beans The dishes were all large and generous. As with the Peking duck, the seafood casserole was very good. The Peking duck was served with pancakes rather than buns. The black bean bitter melon beef was just average though. The dinner also came with complimentary red bean dessert soup. There was a mandatory 12% tip and the all-in bill was $139.14 CAD or $102.31 USD, a great value. By the way, it's cash only here and though we were ok with it, it is unusual to not have a non-cash option given their price point. It's a good thing for our Chinese server lady that the tip was mandatory as she was a real Debbie Downer. She never cracked a smile, said hello or goodbye, and huffed a bit when we didn't order immediately upon sitting down. She was the worst server of our 3 day trip. We left $140 CAD cash but did discuss whether we should make her bring back $0.86 CAD in change but we're not quite that mean (but I would have enjoyed getting a reaction lol). Overall, I'll go with 3.51 stars rounded up to 4 for this outing and the rating was saved mainly by that stupendous Peking duck special.
We came here for dinner as a party of 6 and ordered the lobster, suckling pig and fish dinner. What we liked: We added the Peking duck daily special which is a decent deal for $28.8 on Thursdays. $15 extra to change the duck-2 ways to lettuce wrap with diced duck meat stir fry. Food quality is decent, food portion is reasonable. Ambiance is nice. I also liked the dessert which is a mango sago pomelo soup (楊枝甘露）with cookies。 What we didn't like: there was a lot of forgetful moments where you have to chase down servers (no where to be found) to deliver parts of your meal. This happened to two of our dishes. They delivered sliced Peking duck without wraps, and also forgot the snow pea leaves dish until we asked when we are done our dinner. We also had a questionable request by the restaurant to swap out a dish. Weird that they were out of suckling pig for a suckling pig meal by 715pm. Rather than proposing something of equivalent value, they provided half a soy chicken instead. We didn't want extra effort and accepted. Little did I know, another friend recently went here and also had the dish swap for less value and the forgetting of dishes until customer chased them. I don't know what to think of this - is this a practice or a coincidence?
Upscale Cantonese Cuisine in Markham Parking: Ample parking in the Village Gate Plaza Ambience: Quaint upscale/luxury Chinese restaurant, good environment and the overall vibe is very elegant. Service: Immediately greeted by the restaurant staff, was sat down promptly and we ordered fairly quickly. Food: Chicken and Pork Pepper Soup Very peppery, hearty, creamy and rich. Dipping sauces provided are a spicy soy sauce and a ginger scallion sauce. Very flavourful Rating: 4/5 Sweet & Sour Pork Typical sweet and sour pork, good balance of flavours. Was not too breaded and lots of chunks of pork in the dish. Rating: 4/5 Broccoli & Chinese Sausage Was OK, lacking flavour a little and the broccoli was a bit over cooked. The Chinese sausage was a mix of regular Chinese sausage and innard sausage. This dish was lacking in that lil sumthin sumthin. Rating: 3/5 Assorted Seafood Stonepot with bok choy/tofu Scallops, shrimp, tofu, bok choy cooked together in a stone pot. Lacked salt, I wouldn't say it was tasty or but palatable. Rating: 3/5 Mango sago Not overly sweet, cold and had a decent flavour. Thrown in with our meal but it was a good end to our dinner. Rating: 3/5 Overall an OK experience, the best dish was the chicken and pork soup. Hearty and heartwarming and makes you feel all fuzzy inside. Rating: 3/5
I came here on a Saturday morning and there was no line up for a table. The food is pretty good but some dishes were bland. They could use a tad more salt. The angus beef stir fry rice noodle was my favourite out of all the things we ordered, but it's a bit on the pricier side ($25). Our bill came to $150 for five people, and tips is automatically added to the bill. The service was quick and the staff were generally pretty polite. Not a bad experience but not a top pick for dim sum.
Ordered a dim sum lunch using Uber Eats last week from here. The dishes are a bit pricey but I was surprise that they didn't mark up the prices on Uber Eats. I liked that their dim sum menu included the steamed meat on rice. It was a serving for two for only $10. We got the steamed black bean spare ribs on rice and it was so flavourful and the meat was so fresh. The other dishes were also well prepared which included the steamed shrimp pork (siu mai), bbq pork pastry puffs and steamed beef balls. It was a bit of a treat to order out for lunch on the weekday so the meal felt extra special! Overall, we were very pleased with the food and will definitely be ordering again!
Don't let the exterior deceive you. It's not as big as you think, since half the restaurant is VIP room (which had nobody on the day of my visit). Food was palpable, but I don't think it justifies the cost which is on the steep side in that area. Peking duck was presented nicely. However, the wrapping was far too thin and leaked once I added the sweet plum sauce. Do note that 12% service charge is automatically added to your bill.
Good service High quality food Nice interior, recently renovated Free parking in the plaza Peking duck is crazy good here There's currently a Peking duck special for $19.99! I tried it recently and was pleasantly surprised by the size of the duck as well as the quality. Skin was nice and crispy, not overly fatty, and a good amount of meat. It's a must try here. I think the Peking duck deal is only from Monday to Friday so be sure to check before you go. All the other dishes I tried were also amazing. Check out my pictures. There's egg and fish maw, beef cubes with snow peas shoots, and a crispy vermicelli with chicken slices. All delicious!
After watching a blogTO post I had to get a taste of this restaurants dimsum menu! I got the cheung fun with bbq pork, cheung fun with shrimp & yellow chives, beef short ribs, crispy fried shrimp dumplings with foie gras and scallop dumplings with black truffle. All delicious!! I especially loved the crispy fried shrimp dumplings, one of my favorites! Definitely visit and try the menu. I will back!!!
3.5 stars Located in the plaza on the south east corner of Bayview and Weldrick. They are part of the full fledged Seafood Palace Restaurant next door but only for BBQ meats. 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/ read more

Decent Cantonese food with affordable prices. The seafood was fresh and everything was cooked well but nothing stood out. The lobster we got seemed to be butchered strangely as there weren't many tail pieces but some of it was attached to the leg pieces. The service is kind of awkward. Reception is terrible inside. read more
Seafood palace opened a bbq place on the side. The staff working there are really nice. and friendly Bbq portion and prices are ok. Rice a little dry ask for more sauce. Duck is ok i dont feel is marinated deep enough. cha siu ok and roast pork is ok. They also offer suckling pig rice . Insjde looks clean. 1 or 2 small tables for dine in. read more

Been here many times for take out and patio dim sum and finally tried in person dining for one of dinner sets. The interior dining room looks renovated but the chairs seem badly damaged with upholstery ripped out. Otherwise nice interior widely with spaced out tables. We had a lobster set dinner for 8 people. They were accommodating for substitutions. Food tasted great and service was efficient. Lobster was good but they don't give you plastic gloves for some reason. Presentation of the lobster was really nice. Portions are large. Dishea are as expected for Cantonese style restaurant. Overall good place for dinner set dining. read more
Service is a joke here! They call themselves fine Chinese cuisine but obviously this does not incorporate the service! First off tips of 12% of gratuity is automatically added to the bill hence they don't even try to make an effort! No wonder there is no lineup for dim sum. It's 20% off for dim sum until further notice. But for the premium prices we much prefer Yu seafood. First time coming here in years. We ordered the 2.5lbs lobster noodle dim sum special menu. This includes lobster with noodles and 4 selection of dim sum! The lady dropped of steamed dumpling that weren't what we ordered when we asked she just said yeah yeah yeah this is it. We flagged down a second server and asked and sure enough instead of the snow pea scallop dumplings they dropped of the Chiu chow dumplings. After this it was wrong order after another. Tea pots were not refilled unless we flagged the staff multiple times. The worst part was the lobster noodle was luke warm! Chinese Seafood should be hot in temperature! Not sure if it was just sitting in the back? Some shell had no lobster meat in it...! I don't usually expect much from Chinese restaurant but to call themselves fine Chinese cuisine with premium prices I expected much more elevated experience instead we got service like we would at a wonton noodle shop! Needless to say we won't be back! Too many options in Richmond hill! The only positive thing I do wanna say is their dessert was actually hot and seem freshly made. We got the panfried mochi with taro and seasame mochi! read more
First time trying this place for a lobster fix. We ordered the set meal that came with 7lbs worth of lobster and a few side dishes. We were pleased with the lobster! Lots of meaty pieces and the lobster wasn't oily (we got the garlic style) The other dishes were alright too. The pick up process was quick as well read more

Dim-sum during March break. We arrived prior to 11 and the restaurant was actually very quiet. Please note debit or cash only. Dim sum was pretty good with the usually fare of har gow, shrimp rolls, bbq pork buns, custard bun, spring rolls etc. Ambience is great as everything looks clean and new. Food came out promptly after we ordered. They were pretty attentive to our requests and filling of glasses. Food was great except the spring rolls which tasted a bit on the mushy side definitely not the same as before. Everything else came out fresh and delicious. Enjoyed the food. The only thing to watch for is that they added the tip to our bill. We were told by the person handing us the bill that it was added but you may want to double check. Great dining experience for our family of 4. read more
I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of tables inside the restaurant, it's a lot bigger than what I expected. There's the main part and then more rooms at the back for VIPs. My aunt and uncle love coming here and that's saying quite a bit considering they live in North York. The food is quite food but this time the noodles were a bit on the dry side and there was hardly any beef. It gets pretty loud in the restaurant so be prepared to speak loud in order to be heard. read more
I'm sure this place is a neighborhood favorite and while we had a bad experience, I might be willing to give this place another try. We arrived early and was able to get a seat fairly easily. We ordered dough fritters, haw gaw, haw gaw with foie gras, congee, and a recommendation from the waitress (dumplings). The foie gras addition seemed a little unnecessary but still good to try. The recommended dumplings were very ordinary and felt it was a lost opportunity. Arriving really early was the dough fritter (which is usually paired w congee), and after waiting 45 mins, we find out that the congee typically isn't served until 10:30am which would be another 45 minutes - honestly, let customers know at the time of ordering. Otherwise we would NOT have ordered the congee or dough fritters (which ended up being wasted). Maybe an off day for the restaurant, but really a poor first impression - esp for a fine dining restaurant which should exceed expectations in service. read more
Was worried with the recent negative reviews but glad that I gave them a try anyways. Food was terrific!!! A little on the pricier side for dim sum but the quality was well worth it. Service was very attentive. I brought my pup and the staff were so friendly with him. The patio is very nice and well built. Highly recommend trying them if you are in the area. read more

Okay I tried their dim sum again using Uber Eats. And we enjoyed them today. Everything's made perfect. Had the chicken feet, bbq pork bun was amazing! Rice noodle crueller, pork ribs, curry squids, rolled chicken on dried tofu skin and more. Somehow it taste so much better now during pandemic. We surely miss eating out! read more
3.5 stars - food was delicious and service was really good as well, which was a pleasant surprise for a Chinese establishment. Came here on a Thursday night and it wasn't very busy - the restaurant is pretty big and it was maybe only half full which concerned me initially. We ordered one of the seafood dinner combos - we had the ginger and onion lobster, dungeness crab, large clams in a black bean sauce, steamed fish, steamed minced pork and a veggie dish. For dessert they had almond tea, almond cookies and the goji berry/lychee jellos. They didn't provide a complimentary soup to start the meal but that was no biggie. This was more than enough food for 6 adults - we had leftovers too! Each dish was really good, all the seafood was cooked well (not overcooked and rubbery) and not overly salty or oily. Not super cheap but not super expensive either, definitely a good value given the amount and quality of food you are getting. I would definitely come back for another group dinner. read more

How's the dim sum at Yang's Fine Chinese Cuisine? A-OK! I probably will be back for their Durian Pastry!! They are made to order fresh from the oven.... I ate the whole order as I am the only one at the table that would eat durian! Other dim sum are all nicely done. I do expect that at this price point! Service is lacking as the restaurant was packed even for a weekday lunch break. I might come back for more dim sum if my friend wants a gathering. But there definitely have other options in the area! read more

I came to Yang's Chinese Cuisine for dim sum twice in the last month, after my go-to dim sum restaurant in Richmond Hill, Ambassador Chinese Cuisine, abruptly closed down in September after 18 years in business (my heart broke a little). And onto the food! Baked BBQ pork puffs with pineapple (L)- this was delicious, a perfect combination of savoury and sweet. In addition, the pastry was really nice and flaky. Deep fried minced pork and taro puffs (S)- also a pretty good version that wasn't overly greasy. Crystal jumbo shrimp har gow (L)- one of the only misses. The shrimps were plump and juicy, but the dumpling skin was too thick and effectively ruined the delicacy of the har gow. Fried rice noodle roll with XO sauce (XL)- I have to say, this was not the best version I've had. In fact, the Ambassador's version was a lot tastier. But for those with a heartier appetite, it would still be a very good choice to fill you up. One stand out was definitely the steamed soft egg custard buns (L). I find that this dish is usually either a hit or miss, and here it was executed very well. The bun to filling ratio was just right (usually there's too much bun), and the runny golden custard center was absolutely heavenly. Steamed rice noodle roll with jumbo shrimp and yellow chives (L). Again, the shrimp was excellent, but the yellow chives were nowhere to be seen (or perhaps I was just unlucky). Nevertheless, this was generally well done. Steamed BBQ pork bun with abalone sauce (S). As with the baked BBQ pork puff, the filling here was excellent, and the bun was delightfully fluffy. The avocado and shrimp roll (L) didn't look overly fancy, but it was actually very tasty. I didn't detect a lot of avocado, but I liked the roll a lot nevertheless. Baked cashew and pumpkin puffs (M). The puffs adorably resembled tiny pumpkins, complete with a cashew stem. But flavour-wise, I wished the pumpkin was more intense. Steamed mango custard layer cake (M). Aside from my affinity for custard, I really loved the lightness of the cake. The mango was a nice addition that didn't overwhelm the custard flavours. On the whole, the dim sum here is well-executed and tasty, albeit quite pricey (tea is $1.20 per person, S- $3.10, M- $4.20, L- $5.20, and XL- $7.80). That said, I enjoyed the food a lot so I will likely come back for more dim sum. And on top of that, no crazy wait time here! What more can I ask for? read more
The staff is friendly, and attentive. Lots of local customers from around the area, the plaza has lots of parking spaces. The decor is nice and modern (except all windows are covered/blocked) the food comes out really fast. They also have waitresses bring out special dishes around to lure you into ordering more cause it looks so delicious (even, when you know that you have already ordered too much) they know how to do business! I agree that most of the dim sum dishes were delicious (some misses) but the biggest disappointment is the overly expensive price tag on them, the ingredients are normal, it's not like there is scallops in the Sui Mai or sharks fin. Everything was regular menu items you find at other Chinese tea places but with a huge price tag. I have been here 4 times (close to home) and each time cost is $60 (including tips) on a lunch. I love dim sum, but not really $60 worth, especially with so much competition and delicious dim sum in the GTA (except just a bit further out for me, when in extremely hungry) read more

They have a Peking duck special so I came to give it a try. The Peking duck was honestly delicious, but the customer service was absolute dog shit. They are booming with business because of this special and there are lines of people waiting for seating even if you make a reservation. My problem is that if you can't handle the business, don't promote it. They're so rushed and overly busy that they're rude to each customer that walks in. The hostess seated me at a table for 5, then the manager Ben came by and asked me how many people are in my party and I said two. He screamed at me and waved his arm in a swooping motion and told me I can't sit at this table. Don't understand why I got yelled at, considering the hostess sat me here. She came by later and I asked her If she was sure I could sit at this table, and she reassured me it's fine. The funny thing is this is my second horrible experience with him as I came a couple of weeks back and he was also extremely rude... they had five sets of dishes and utensils and nobody came to clear it off our table, and when he came by he sighed and shook his head and I said "no worries! We won't use it" and he said "well if you aren't using it someone else has to!!!!!" And I just laughed. I said that to be polite because I didn't mind that they didn't clear my table, yet I was met with raging sarcasm for no reason. Honestly, no food is worth it when you're met with such shitty service. Never coming back again, I don't have time for crazy rude people like him. The cherry on top, there was hair in my food. I understand that is bound to happen in the food industry, but still quite gross. read more
