This family-owned gem is a must-visit for homemade goodness! 😋 The veggies are incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the seafood is cooked to perfection - I raved about the lobster and shrimps! The service is what truly sets them apart, though - the staff make you feel like part of the family, treating you like a long-lost friend. It's clear they take pride in sharing their heritage and love through every dish. Can't wait to come back and try more of their home-cooked specialties!

We absolutely loved our dinner — it truly felt like a feast. We had a wonton soup to start which was perfect for sharing and then opted for the lobster dinner for two Hong Kong style. I want to say the three sides we ordered were a beef dumpling, a pork dumpling and the black bean ribs. We also received a complimentary shrimp dish which was absolutely phenomenal. The soup came first and then the lobster arribed together with all the sides. This really added to the experience as we moved from spicy shrimp to savory dumplings to the perfectly cooked lobster. We'd never had lobster Hong Kong style and I'm now a huge fan. It features a balanced salty and deliciously crispy exterior with juicy lobster meat. The cooking style reminded me of a soft shell crab. This was 100% a meal where I rolled up my sleeves and dug in.
The service was thoughtful, attentive and each plate delivered with a warm smile. The food was tasty and had no pretentiousness about it — just food cooked with skill that tastes amazing. As long as this restaurant shows up this way for its guests, we will continue to come. We hope others do too.

Food was great, very well made dim sums. Menu has options for both Chinese and fake Chinese. Owner was very friendly gave us a complimentary broiled shrimp platter. The steam beef balls was the best out of the dim sums. The young server got one of the orders wrong so make sure you ask your server if you aren’t sure whether or not you got what you ordered. There is also very ample parking in the back

Hot Lobster Dim Sum has quickly become my new favorite spot. What stands out most is the consistency in the food quality. Every dish is crafted with care, and the flavors are authentic and rich.
The portions are substantial without skimping on the good stuff. It’s rare to find a place where you get both quality and quantity, but this place nails it.
The owner is a delight—super personable and clearly passionate about serving great food. The service staff is also very professional and polite. If you are looking for high-quality dim sum with a great atmosphere, look no further. Five stars well deserved!

This place was delicious!!!
Probably the best meal of our whole trip.
We came right when they opened. And they do take a long time with the food but it’s worth it. We opted for the à la carte vs the all you can eat.
We got the black pepper lobster and it was so darn good. They gave us a complimentary order of the special salt shrimp, this was the 2nd best dish we got. We also ordered the fried tofu and vegetables.
As far as the dim sum, the egg custard buns were one of the top picks along with the soup dumplings. The other items we got were what’d you expect.
Everything was flavorful!

“The food here is amazing and the prices are very reasonable for everyone. The Hong Kong–style lobster and the ginger-stirred lobster are exceptional. It’s a perfect place for friends and families to gather on the weekend.”
Staff is very friendly he even offered us soup dumplings for free! Dim sum is fresh and at top notch quality. They also offered free parking, highly recommended to stop by if you are at Niagara Fall

The food was pretty sub par for GTA standards, but I guess it's slim pickings in this area for authentic Chinese food. We came here on a Sunday afternoon and were the only ones in here. The staff was friendly though and we had a decent time.
We looked at the lobster menu, but it was pretty overpriced for the amount of lobster and size of lobster you get. All their lobsters were 1lb, so even if you get the 2lbs, you're just getting two 1lb lobsters instead of one bigger one which would be more meaty. So we decided against ordering it.
We ordered a bunch of a la carte dim sum dishes and some noodles, kung pao chicken and hot and sour soup. They were all pretty meh, nothing was bad but nothing was really good either. Some of the dishes came out cold, some were piping hot. I wouldn't come back though cuz there's better restaurants out there

We decided to give this place a try after constantly seeing signs for it exiting the casino. Insanely delicious lobster!! We got the lobster dinner for three with 2lb Hong Kong style lobster, lobster paste fried rice, and three choice of dim sum. Everything was sooooo good, we especially loved the lobster, prawns, and har gow. The atmosphere is very cozy inside what looks like a repurposed house. Service was very friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend a try at this delicious, local, and new-ish restaurant!

Hands down, the best lobster I’ve ever had — anywhere. The Hong Kong–style preparation is out of this world: perfectly seasoned, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Every bite reminds you why this place is such a hidden gem.
The service is outstanding, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the prices are extremely reasonable for the quality you’re getting. The menu goes far beyond just seafood — there’s an incredible selection of authentic Chinese dishes and Dim Sum that are every bit as impressive as the lobster itself.
Honestly, you’d have to be out of your mind to choose Red Lobster over this local treasure. I’ve dined at countless seafood restaurants over the past 60 years, and I can say without hesitation that Hot Lobster and Dim Sum is truly something special.
If you’re anywhere near Niagara Falls and love great food, do yourself a favor and make this your next stop.
