    Pork shrimp dumpling
    HaKim N.

    The restaurant is spacious with lots of seating. The dumpling menu was extensive and there was a variety of other dishes. The dumpling skin was good but it came out barely warm. The siu long bao skin was too thick. The braised pork bone was good, there was a specialty for $2.99 before 5pm.

    Great dumpling option in Markham. Lots of variety and noodle options too! We tried their abalone dumpling and each piece had a mini abalone in it. Our favourite is the pork and corn one steamed. The potstickers are fun too! Lots of seating and there is an open kitchen in the back to watch them make the dumplings.

    Lots of spacious seating and a big parking lot. I highly recommend the L5 Sautéed Eggplant w/ Minced Pork on Sizzling Plate ($19.99). So SO good! The eggplant was crispy and soft on the inside and it paired really well with the sauce, pork, garlic, and onions. On the other hand, the smoked chicken ($11.99) and crispy pan fried cabbage & pork dumplings ($12.99) were mediocre. I would not order these again. Service was fast and the staff were nice! I would honestly come back just for the eggplant dish. 5% off if you pay cash

    3.5/5 This is our always go to place for dumplings. This time we tried the smoked chicken, it's not bad with smoky aroma. The pan fried dumpling was also not bad. In this place, most dishes are quite mediocre with no surprise, decent food with decent price.

    Really large venue with many tables and seats. There were minimal front of house staff, so expect to be agressive to get service. Pan fried buns - Expecting juicy pork on the inside, thin bun walls and cripsy at the bottom. This was the exact opposite. No soup in the inside, bun was thick and the bottom was soggy. Would not recommend. Sticky rice rolls - Expecting sticky chewy exterior from the sticky rice, crispy inside from the dough fritter and flavour from the pork shreds + pickled vegetables. This was 1/3: sticky rice was undercooked, dough fritter was soggy, but sufficient shredded pork + vegetables to make it somewhat tasty. Would not recommend. Pork and chive dumplings - This was pretty good, good amount of filling and thin skin. Sauces that you can mix together is black vinegar, soysauce and chili oil. Would get dumplings again. Braised pork rib special - Good deal for 4 bones of pork ribs. There was good flavour coming out of the meat. Would get again. Pretty good value for what you order, food quality was subpar but could be on me for not getting more dumplings.

    We decided last minute to come here and no wait time on a Friday nite. Plaza and parking is a bit chaotic tho we had to park at the back and bit of a walk. Not fun in winter. But yea lots of cars cuz lots of restaurants are on the plaza. Service was quick tho. Everything we ordered was good and filling. Would definitely come back

    Overall, a pleasant experience, quick service, and good food. Docking 0.5 star for some items being solely in Chinese, not very user friendly for non-Chinese literate patrons. It was midday around 2pm, with fewer patrons going in, but service was still prompt. Order by yourself on the slips of paper with the menu numbers. A few items, such as the Rainbow Soup dumplings, have a variety of fillings, but it was all in Chinese, so I'm not actually sure which fillings we tried. The classic soup dumpling was still my favourite, though all were tasty. Around 3pm, the staff sat down for their break, so we waited until we saw one finish and went up to the counter for our bill and a small takeout box for our leftovers.

    Finally came around to trying this place on a saturday evening. The parking lot was absolutely stuffed and I had to circle at least 10 times before lucking out w/ a spot. The resto itself is big and fits a lot of customers. We were sat right next to the entrance (which was chilly at first because of the entrance opening and closing constantly, but once we started eating and sweating, the wind actually helped out a bit). The service is pretty no frills. You write your order on a paper and a server will just take it. The dumplings were good! I think I actually liked the pan fried/crispy dumplings over the boiled ones more (if I had to pick). They were juicier. This place also does an excellent beef pancake. I've been to so many places where the pancake is stale and the beef tough, but this place nailed it (perfect amount of hoisin sauce inside too). If I'm craving dumplings, I'll be back here for sure! P.S. The beef noodle soup from the menu picture is calling out to me. I might try that next time.

    What happened to this beloved dumpling place? We were here to try the following dumplings that are highly reputed. # A1 LEEK, SHRIMP & PORK DUMPLINGS # A29 CUTTLEFISH INK DUMPLINGS (CUTTLEFISH,LEEK,PORK) # B4 STEAMED MINI PORK DUMPLINGS (XLB) # A25 CRISPY PAN FRIED CABBAGE & PORK DUMPLINGS # D3 VEGETABLE AND SLICED PORK NOODLE SOUP Overall impression. Lacking the power of wheat in the wrappers - no chewiness. No texture - flabby. Their unique wrapper flavors were not present this time. What happened? Are they trying "gluten free?" The same thing for the noodles (D3) - soggy. The soup was lacking flavor, depth and focus. Veggies and pork were roughly chopped, no delicacy. Also, all the stuffing did not taste fresh. #A1's shrimp was dehydrated like freeze burnt shrimps. #A29's stuffing were pasty with overly fishy smell. We ate only two, left the rest. To be honest, I wanted to remove the dish from the table as soon as we ate a piece. I am a squid lover, but this dumplings' unpleasant smell was not acceptable. Just disappointed. All the more because I loved this place since it was at Midland location. A lot of changes which are not positive.

    Hot and sour soup
    Carmen G.

    My favourite dumpling house in the GTA! This spot never disappoints and I find myself always craving their dumplings. The Scarborough location closed and this one opened up in Markham! Bigger, cleaner, newer space - love that! The staff here are always friendly and so busy! The food! Hot and sour soup: 10/10 The perfect hotness and sourness that is just right for your taste buds. It comes in a larger bowl than expected and had to take the rest to go. It's a great starter before you grub into your dumplings! Steamed dumplings: 10/10 Great for sharing as it comes in 15 pieces, steamed to perfection and so juicy/ meaty on the inside. Pan Fried dumplings: 8/10 A little bit on the oilier spectrum, which is understandable for the dumpling skins not to stick to the pan. They burnt the dumplings a little this time I visited, but nothing too bad to be consumed. Beef noodle soup: 10/10 Their broth is super flavourful and the noodles have the perfect bite to it. The beef could be bigger chunks but overall the the dish is fantastic. Soup dumplings: 10/10 My go to use to be the crab soup dumplings which they took off their menu (SAD!). But their soup dumplings are a close second and come piping hot with lots of soup inside each pocket of goodness! Definitely give this spot a try! And if there is one thing you must get, get the soup dumplings! Make sure you don't burn your mouth trying to gobble the entire dumpling at once though! You've been warned ;)

    The restaurant name is The Dumpling King. It is a strong hint that dumplings are their proudest dish. I ordered them. I agreed with the management. Dumplings were delicious, fresh, and plump. They were a bit smaller than some restaurants', yet they were still of a decent 2-bite size. Pot stickers were okay. The cold dishes we ordered hit the spots. We didn't order any meat dish, so no verdict on them. Just a tip: the squid dumplings and 5 colors dumplings taste exactly the same as the regular, white dumplings. They are visually interesting, but after the novelty has worn off, you won't want to spend the extra cash for the same tasting dumplings.

    Lamb with cumin spice
    Jonathan A.

    Good food at a modest price. We ordered the cumin lamb, leek, shrimp and pork dumplings, fried rice with stewed pork, and the pork belly with garlic sauce. - The lamb with cumin was excellent. Tasty with a nice char flavour. The charred onions were a nice accompaniment. - The fried rice was good. The name doesn't do it justice. It's a solid fried rice and pairs really well with the lamb. I could eat that combo any day of the week. - The pork belly with garlic sauce tasted pretty similar to Korean boiled pork with kimchi. Almost the same but just a bit more vinegary and heavier on the garlic. If you love garlic and vinegar, you'll love this dish! - The dumplings were on the better side of average. Solid clean flavour with a better than average wrapper. Not overly salty. You can tell they're made in house because there were whole perfectly cooked shrimp inside. Nothing to go out of your way for, but a strong craving crusher if you're looking for traditional dumplings. Overall vibe is good. A bit more modern and stylish atmosphere, but still casual enough to not seem too upscale. Will definitely come back for that lamb!

    Pan fried dumplings.

    In the mood for Xiao long bao? I was, and happened upon Dumpling King. Glad I did. Best Xiao long bao that I've had in the GTA! Nice and juicy, good flavour. The rainbow colours each had their own distinct flavour profile...leave the red (Szechuan) for last, as it has a bit of spice! What a presentation on the pan fried dumplings! (A25...the rest of the pan fried just look normal!) These were also juicy and delicious! Steamed dumplings were equally tasty. You can actually taste the individual ingredients. Not shown is the stewed pork backbone, which was tender and tasty also.. the service was prompt and friendly...yes...friendly! The restaurant was very clean, and we were there towards the end of lunch time. Not the most intimate setting, but it worked for us!

The use of traditional elements, paper-cut window designs, red Spring Festival couplets, old-style newspaper wall coverings, and exposed brick adds a strong sense of nostalgia. It feels immersive and intentional, almost like stepping into a countryside home in Dongbei rather than a typical restaurant. The décor isn't fancy, but it's rich in cultural detail and warmth, perfectly matching the hearty, comforting style of Northeast Chinese cuisine. The space is unique and perfect for taking photos. The food here is very generous. We ordered the 4-person set with two side pots. Tomato Braised Beef Brisket and Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms and the portions were huge. Both pots arrived steaming hot and filled to the brim, clearly meant for sharing. The braised beef was rich and hearty, while the chicken pot was comforting and full of flavor, making it perfect for group dining or cold weather meals. Combined with the rustic, traditional décor, it really feels like authentic Northeast Chinese comfort food. The food and atmosphere were excellent, though the service was a bit lacking. Prices are reasonable for the generous portion sizes and the unique restaurant décor.

If you're looking to broaden your palette of Chinese food, this place should be on your list.

I was hoping to find something special on the menu. The Peking duck caught my eye at around $70, but then I discovered that almost everything else was extra--lettuce wraps, stir-fried duck meat, fried rice, and soup. By the time you add the extras, the bill is easily another $50 or more, bringing the total to well over $120. We decided to pass, and judging from the dishes we did order, that was probably the right decision. The hot and sour soup had plenty of heat and tang but lacked depth of flavor and was under-seasoned for my taste. Fortunately, we only ordered a small bowl. The deep-fried tofu was bland and forgettable. The stir-fried shrimp was acceptable but nothing special. The biggest disappointment was the sweet and sour pork. I specifically asked the server to make sure the pork was crispy, but it arrived soft and lumpy rather than light and crunchy. Even the complimentary red bean dessert soup was watery and lacked flavor. Our bill came to about $104 for two people. For the quality of the food, I didn't feel it offered good value. Sadly, after several disappointing visits, I don't think we'll be returning.

Plenty of seating for different sized groups, and the walls are lined with either wine, cuts of meat or tanks filled with various sea creatures. For dinner, we always have to order the lobster and steak combo. The steak has consistently been a flavourful medium rare (to our preference) and there is so much meat from these lobsters! I can't pick which way I like the lobster cooked more - steamed or wok fried.. both are delicious. For additional dishes, you can't go wrong with the short beef ribs and the pea shoots with king oyster mushrooms are a great option if you're trying to add veggies to a meat-heavy meal. The service staff are always on top of it. They are always coming around to make sure we have enough water at the table and food came out so quickly. I can't wait to come back again soon!

When we arrived, he insisted that we did not have a reservation even after we showed our confirmation, and, instead of apologizing for what appeared to be the restaurant's booking system error, he tried to lecture us about how certain reservation websites do not allow large-group bookings. Rather than taking responsibility or working professionally toward a solution, his attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely inappropriate. Fortunately, the lady working with him was kind, professional, and genuinely tried to explain the situation and find a way to accommodate us. She deserves recognition for her efforts. Our group was in town for an eight-day conference with more than 3,000 attendees. Because of this experience, this restaurant has unfortunately been added to the "not recommended" list for this annual event. When restaurants host business travelers, the way guests are treated matters just as much as the quality of the food. Unprofessional treatment of customers and business partners can damage relationships and cost businesses significant opportunities. To anyone considering this restaurant: the food is excellent, but if you're planning an important business dinner or any special occasion, be aware that the wrong interaction at the front desk could ruin your evening. Great food alone cannot make up for poor management and unprofessional customer service.

The lid on my shredded potato salad wasn't on properly and the sauce leaked through my Fantuan bag. The food gets five stars. Sadly, the lid on my potato salad wasn't securely on the container. I had my food in my insulated bag, so the sauce leaked into the Fantuan bag and my insulated bag. Luckily, my car was fine. As a result, my rating is four stars. I wanted to try a new eatery. I looked at my Fantuan app and noticed He Bei Chinese Cuisine. It had dumplings and snacks that I enjoy, so I said yes to placing a dinner order from this eatery. I ordered these items: - Pork and chive steamed dumplings (large has 14 dumplings) - Tea eggs - Shredded potato salad On Fantuan, when you purchase $15 worth of food, you get the shredded potato salad for a cent. Deal! After placing my order near my home, I drove over to this eatery. The drive was ten minutes. I was given an estimated time of fifteen minutes. It was ready in ten minutes. I had no problem finding this eatery. There was plenty of parking. I pulled into a spot and walked in. I saw the Yubu sign. My heart sank, as I loved the Korean tofu pockets from this joint. I liked seeing places to sit down and eat at He Bei. Nice! A woman behind the counter came over. I said that I had a Fantuan order. She talked to me in Mandarin. I don't understand it, but we were fine communicating with each other in our languages. She pointed out the blue Fantuan bag on the table behind me. I thanked her and wished her a nice day. She said thanks right back. I put my food in my insulated bag. With the leak, I managed to launder the Fantuan bag and clean my insulated bag. After I cleaned up, I had dinner at home. The food was amazing and filling! I loved the shredded potato salad. Sure, a lot of the sesame-soy sauce was gone. However, it tasted yummy. It was worth the cent! The steamed pork and chive dumplings were so good. I didn't dunk them in soy sauce. The filling had so much moisture that I felt like I was eating soup dumplings. The filling had yummy flavour and the dumplings were steamed to perfection. Excellent! You can buy frozen dumplings from this place. I'll need to do it. The tea eggs were the perfect snack while streaming hockey games. I peeled the shells off both of them. The eggs were cracked to allow the amazing soy-based sauce to marinate and get into the eggs. Delicious! I'm a fan. I'll take a closer look at the lids on my food next time. I'm glad that I put food in my insulated bag. It saved cleaning my car's upholstery! (59)

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.

    Very good dim sum! Super large restaurant with huge screen TVs. Great friendly service. Definitely…read morewill come back!

    We first noticed this restaurant because the name in Chinese is "like to be with you". It's Friday…read morethat after my appointment around the area. They have different special offers each day from Monday to Friday. We ordered the special Linyi Style Stir Fried Chicken on Friday. And we also ordered Boiled Basa Fish with pickled Cabbage & Green Pepper. They were pretty traditional Chinese styles. The white rice or brown rice both can have as much as we could. That's good for men. We both like here, but they don't offer specials during the weekends. But they do have other special packages, just a bit different. And they also have the membership that we could collect points and then we could use the points to get drinks or different snacks or dishes.

    New sauerkraut fish soup spot in Markham…read more A chain from asia that has finally made it's way to Markham. They are known for their sauerkraut fish soup that comes with unlimited self serve rice on the side. Servers were attentive, spacing of the seating and tables were tight. Often times people kept brushing up against my chair while getting up to go get their rounds of rice. Although not a deal breaker, was annoying while trying to enjoy your food. The portions are big enough for 2 if you get a large, but since it was our first time we wanted to try 2 different soups. Here's what we got: Chicken wings 4/5 - Came out raw the first time after we bit into it. But quickly flagged a server to let them know how this issue. They brought us a new one shortly after that was perfectly cooked, juicy and crispy on the outside. Laotan boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili 4/5 - Their number one classic so we had to try. It's sour and spicy with the right amount of kick to it. Basa fish filets were also tasty. Came out luke warm. Princess's tomato fish 4/5 - Packed with tomato flavour. Savoury and paired well with the basa fish filet. Came with bean curd noodles as well. Came out luke warm. Easily would be a five star review if both soups that we got came out piping hot rather than lukewarm. Regardless, a great spot for a quick in and out meal.

    Great food, friendly service. What more could you ask for…read more The decor is amazing, really feels special compared to the boring decor of other Chinese restaurants. The portions are large and great for sharing. If you can handle spicy, grab a friend that can also handle it and you're in for a good time here. Note that this place only accepts cash and debit.

    If you like spice this is the place for you. Located at the commerce gate complex there is…read moretypically a wait to get a table here. Wait list is old school...someone writes your name and number in a notebook and you are called when your table is ready. The interior is reminiscent of the old school taverns you see in those old Chinese movies where the traveller has spent days walking or on a horse and comes upon a tavern where the interior is all wooden tables and benches. Dining style and dishes are all family style. You order a couple of dishes and then add rice. Spice level can be adjusted and even at 'less' the heat level was high. Definitely generous use of Szechwan peppercorns! Food is very flavourful and depending on preference some might find the oil level high. The clientele is mainly Mandarin speaking and if you are Asian they will immediately communicate in Mandarin with you but I did see the staff switch to English where needed. Service was patient and attentive.
