47 Best Chinese Restaurants in Richmond Hill

“We have visited a few times, and the food has always been excellent. The customer service is outstanding, and the dishes come out quickly and are beautifully presented. The dessert is always very good and makes a perfect finish to the meal. I would highly recommend this restaurant to others.“

“The fresh hand pulled noodles are delicious and you can choose lots of different shapes. The large is enough for my husband and I to split!“

“Had an amazing dining experience at Liu Yishou Hotpot! The restaurant is clean and comfortable, the ingredients are fresh, and the broth is rich and flavorful. Special thanks to Sasha and Wency for their attentive and friendly service — they really made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“We came here with my toddler and immediately the server brought out plastic bowl, scissors and plastic spoon and fork. I love when servers know exactly how to cater to their customers. The 2 person combo was so much food at such a good price it came with 2 bowls of noodles, skewers, 2 pops and an appetizer for $34.99. They don’t skimp on the portions. Food arrived hot and tasty. They kept giving me tissues throughout the meal. Great place for a meal with kids! Highly recommend!“

“Although the restaurant is small, it feels very warm and cozy. The rice noodles taste great, and the soup is rich and flavorful. They also offer some Yunnan snacks, such as beef pancakes, which I order every time. I often come here for a bowl of rice noodles after playing badminton nearby—it’s very satisfying and relaxing.“

“Overall, my experience was just okay.
The environment was pleasant and clean, and the general flavor of the dishes was acceptable. No major complaints on the ambiance or basic taste.
However, the main issue was the freshness of the food. The meat did not seem as fresh as I would have liked, and some of the cold dishes also tasted like they had been sitting out for a while. This significantly detracted from the meal's quality.
If the kitchen can address the freshness of their ingredients, particularly the meat and cold appetizers, this restaurant would definitely earn a higher rating.

“I recently immigrated to Toronto, and I often find myself missing the taste of home. Being able to enjoy authentic Cantonese soups here brings me so much comfort and happiness. Thank you for making such heartfelt, delicious soups, they truly make me feel at home!“

“Been coming for years and only now writing a review (I’m sorry). It’s just such a great mainstay of comfort dishes. Regular orders include shredded pork with coriander and chili (732, get with a hot bowl of rice!) and onion pancake roll w sliced beef (120, gives Peking duck vibes). Go-to dumplings is classic pork & chive for me.

PS mom and dad were skeptical when I ordered 732 and then couldn’t stop commenting how flavourful it was 💖“

“Beautiful place with large hot pot selections, friendly staffs, very clean and they even have basket for your coats/clothes/purses plus aprons to use during your meals!“

“I have been coming here for years to enjoy their noodles with toppings. Great healthy and tasty food with awesome value! Love their wontons and soup. The soup is clean and not greasy at all. Fresh and fast. They are just as good as when I first tried this place many years ago.

Rarely do you find a place like this.
How often do you ask yourself if the quality has gone down at one of your favorite restaurants? At this place, that is never the case!“

“The Hakka restaurants on Richmond Hill are all fast closing down or gone so it was a surprise to find this one still functioning. It’s only take out now and it is run by an old charming Chinese couple so there is a wait time. But the food is tasty and authentic and not too bad on your wallet. So cheers and hope this one stays for some time. I ordered Cantonese Chow mein, Ginger Beef and Sweet corn chicken soup. The beef and the soup are delicious 🎶🎶“

“Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in Canada. There's always a fresh catch of the day of delicious seafood 🤤 Honestly, I've been to hundreds if not thousands of restaurants and there isn't a single item off the menu that me and my guests have not enjoyed. Anna is super hospitality and treat us like family 💗 Highly recommend if you haven't given it a try already“

“Hidden in a mall that’s almost abandoned, and this kitchen feels like the only thing that is attracting customers. Fast, reasonable priced, and tasty Chinese fast food. Portions are huge too. Busy on weekend nights. Recommend to call ahead before pick up.“

“Came to Starchiva Cuisine (星芝華私廚) for a family lunch and had an enjoyable experience.

The restaurant offers an interesting menu, comprising of some authentic, traditional, and hard-to-find Cantonese gems made the dish selection an interesting, fun, and challenging process.

The space was comfortable even for a relatively large group, with well-spaced tables that made the meal feel relaxed and unhurried. Service was polite and attentive throughout.

Starchiva’s dim sum selection was delicious and well balanced, never overly oily or salty. The rice hand rolls, or cheung fun (手拉腸粉), were lightly rolled and delicately wrapped with just the right amount of condiments.

The standout dessert was the brown sugar honeycomb cake (黑糖蜂巢糕)—light, airy, chewy, and honeycomb-like texture, and paired especially well with the rich, smooth Hong Kong milk tea/stocking milk-tea (港式奶茶) taking one to Hong Kong Cha Chaan Teng (cafes).

Overall, a pleasant dinning spot for family or group gatherings, offering well-prepared/presented food, clean and comfortable seating, and attentive service.“

“I’ve been coming to this family owned Mala Town for over 4 years now, and the quality has been consistently amazing every single time. The food is always incredibly flavorful, fresh, and perfectly cooked. You can truly taste the care and attention they put into every dish.

It’s rare to find a place that maintains such high standards year after year, but they absolutely do. The ingredients are always fresh, the broth is rich and fragrant, and everything tastes just as good as I remember from my first visit.

I highly recommend this place!!“

“I’ve been to many Asian spots in the area, but Ming Cuisine really stands out for its consistency and quality.

The menu is incredibly diverse, offering food options for any palate—whether you want something spicy and bold or light and traditional.

​I was especially impressed with how they handled gluten-free dietary restrictions. They were very accommodating and knowledgeable when I asked, making the meal stress-free.

On top of that, the service was fast and efficient, and the bill was a pleasant surprise—the cost is very reasonable compared to other Asian cuisine spots in town.

Definitely a 5-star experience!“

“Egg drop soup 5/5 very rich broth taste and fresh veggies
Taos general chicken 5/5 very good but could be a little bit more juicy
Chicken fried rice 5/5
Steamed dumplings 3/5, weird filling, and they all got stuck to each other
Egg roll is 4/5 just not a big fun of the dish, but it was flavorful

Service is top notch! The owner is a very lovely chinese lady, the cooking area looks very clean too, everything is in order.

Overall it’s a very good local spot for chinese craving, will come back for sure.“

“My go-to spot for authentic Cantonese dishes. Portions are generous, pricing is fair, and the food doesn’t have that heavy MSG taste you get at other places — I never feel overly thirsty after eating here. The place is consistently packed, especially on weekends, which tells you everything you need to know about its quality.“

“Located near Hwy7 & Bayview, Hu Tu Lou showcases a fusion of Sichuan and homestyle Chinese flavors across its diverse menu. The Spicy Fish and Pork Intestine Soup (Shuizhu style) employs hot oil infusion with chili and Sichuan peppercorns, creating a layered piquancy. The Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry balances protein coagulation and tomato pectin release for a tangy, comforting taste. Stir-Fried Pork Shreds with Dried Bean Curd highlights the bean product’s porous structure, readily absorbing spicy sauce. The Cumin Lamb capitalizes on the aromatic synergy between lamb fat and cumin’s volatile compounds. Sizzling Black Pepper Beef locks in juices on a scorching iron plate, emphasizing tenderness and savory depth. Lastly, the Quick-Fried Pork Kidney depends on precise knife skills and high-heat stir-frying to retain its crisp texture and meld with spicy elements.“

“This is a very casual, low-key place, perfect for lunch! I tried their braised pork belly with preserved mustard green on rice and sea coconut partridge soup. Both outstanding! Hot and flavourful! They also have a new Thai menu. I will definitely go back to try their Singapore hainanese chicken on rice. They take credit cards. Plenty of parking!“

“HK style milk tea, breakfast, are not bad!“

“the Tim sum is very good. better than many tim sum in Singapore. very crowded, waited for an hour for a table. highly recommended.“

“Nine of my friends and I recently visited Mr. Congee. Overall, we had a good experience, and all of my friends were happy with their meals. I am vegan, and the options for me were quite limited, but I managed. One of my friends is gluten intolerant, and unfortunately she could only have a small portion of steamed vegetables. It would be wonderful if you could consider adding more clearly labeled vegan and gluten-free dishes to the menu. The staff who served us — Yao, Michelle, and Jason — were very kind, polite, and attentive. We truly appreciated their service. The only thing that bothered me was seeing live crabs in the tank near the entrance. For animal advocates, this can be quite disturbing.“

“奶茶夠滑, 咖啡香濃, 兩樣溝埋, 鴛鴦唔駛講啦. 😅“

“Great local restaurant. Reasonable prices and great staff.“

“Affordable Chinese “pick-your-own” dinner set. We ordered five mains, and it came with the soup of the day and white rice. The portions were generous, and the taste was comparable to other Chinese restaurants. Tofu pudding was included as dessert.“

“Such an underrated spot for lunch. First time coming here since I usually go next door to Cha Kee, but this place really surprised me. I ordered the daily set #7, the tender pork with truffle scrambled egg, and it was unbelievably good. The pork was sweet and tangy with a strong charcoal-grilled flavor, and the truffle scrambled egg was simple but done perfectly. Honestly, overall it’s even better than the place next door.“

“The Big Casserole (一品猪肚鸡煲仔饭) in Richmond Hill is a fantastic place for anyone who enjoys authentic Chinese comfort food. The restaurant has a warm and lively atmosphere, and it’s clear that it’s very popular with the local community. When you walk in, the smell of freshly cooked casseroles and traditional dishes immediately makes you feel hungry.

One of the highlights of this restaurant is their clay pot rice and casserole dishes. The flavors are rich and comforting, and the ingredients taste fresh and well prepared. The rice is cooked perfectly in the clay pot, giving it a nice texture and a slightly crispy layer at the bottom, which many people love. The meat and vegetables are also well seasoned, creating a balanced and satisfying dish.

Another dish that many people come for is the pork tripe chicken soup, which is both flavorful and nourishing. The broth is rich and aromatic, and the combination of ingredients creates a comforting taste that feels very authentic. It’s especially enjoyable during colder weather.

The portion sizes are generous, making it great for sharing with friends or family. The menu also offers a good variety of traditional Cantonese-style dishes, so there are plenty of options to choose from depending on your preferences.

The restaurant environment is clean, bright, and welcoming. Even when it gets busy, the staff work efficiently and keep things moving smoothly. The service is friendly and attentive, and the staff are happy to help explain menu items if you are trying something new.

Another great thing about this place is the value for money. Considering the quality of the food and the portion sizes, the prices are very reasonable.

Overall, The Big Casserole is an excellent restaurant for authentic Chinese clay pot dishes and comforting traditional flavors. It’s definitely worth visiting if you’re in the Richmond Hill area.“

“Take out only place. Best bang for the buck. Lunch special is 9.99+tax. Only thing is it gets busy for lunch so sometimes you had to wait as long as 40 minutes - I encourage you to call ahead to order. Regardless chili chicken is to die for.“

“First time eating here. Had the Coconut Curry Rice Noodle Soup which I thought was amazing. Perfectly spiced and boiling hot (watch out. Takes a while to cool). Had the deep fried tofu as an appetizer. Love the clean design aesthetic. Service is not overly warm but it's efficient. I would recommend and will dine there again.“

“The Big Trio is my go-to place for wonton noodle twice a week. Their beef tripe is also very tasty and tender. However the combinarion of wonton and tripe is the best. Add a bit of chilli oil...oh my.... my stomach thanks me for it. I think i am addicted to it. ;)“

“We hosted a small wedding event last Sunday at Zunyan Restaurant in Richmond Hill, with a good experience.
Manager Yan is a nice, patient lady. She was helpful and attentive to the details of our wedding banquet planning.
The room is clean, quiet, organized, modern, spacious, with good surrounding sound system, entertainment device, sound proof walls and en-suite bathroom.
The food quality exceeded our expectations as compared to some of the previous reviews. The food is unique with fusion style options, seafood is fresh and delicious. The server, Elyn is nice. She was helpful, attentive to our requests.
Overall, we are very pleased with our choice of this venue for the wedding event.“

“It was strange, the dishes I ordered (spaghetti bolognese and iced lemon tea) were really delicious, but my bf got Portuguese chicken and iced ying yuen and he said they both tasted weird/not normal. The Portuguese chicken contained pineapple which was unexpected, and he said the ying yuen just didn't taste that good compared to what he's had before. I agree that there really shouldn't be pineapple in Portuguese chicken, but I can't confirm whether it tasted bad or not; I guess if you love pineapple you might enjoy it. They also give a starter soup, and we were given the corn soup, and that was super yummy. Overall it was an average experience for an HK cafe, and depending on what you get it can be a hit or miss.“

“Overall simple to the point, Chinese takeout. Portion size was good in the all in one combo. Lots of noodles and chicken and vegetables. Noodles were a bit under seasoned and the chicken was mostly sweet but that’s kind of the experience I want/crave with simple Chinese takeout. I’ll be back.“

“We have not come to this restaurant for years. Last night, we passed by and give a try again. We ordered 4 dishes. Overall the style has kept as the Huaiyang cuisine. It is authentic. We like the Four happiness bean curd which has strong sauce taste. The wonton soup is also tasty. As we join the membership program and spent certain amount of money, they offer a free decent dish to come next week. Nice!“

“Delicious, juicy and yummy dumplings in a hearty chicken soup for happy tummy. The most comforting soup ever that you can simply make for family.“

“Loved our meal. Everything was hot and tasty. Very reasonable prices.“

“Always a great spot for lunch and economical. Every time I go, there is a constant stream of people that come in for both dining and takeout. It is a family runned restaurant with limited staff, so the service is quite slow when it’s busy.

The food is always hot and tasty. The lunch specials are $8.75 or $9.75 and from 11am to 5pm everyday. It’s a great value!

I have also included another picture of what other dishes are available at this restaurant, but I don’t have pricing for those.“

“Great location for people on the north side of Markham. Quality rivals long time well established restaurants and their variety is amazing. Everything from rice rolls to simply a stir fried beef rice noodle, to even spare ribs, they’re all full of flavour and always tender. Strongly recommend for everyone around cathedral town or near that area!“

“We came here for dinner on Sunday march 15 to celebrate my sister's birthday
The food was delicious and the service was attentive, Ivan was exceptionally good in providing great customer service
Highly recommend this restaurant and will surely come back for dinner or dim sum“

“I’m a fan of barbecue food and udon and hence I love their lunch !!! I brought my mom here as well and she loves it 👍🏻 barbecue duck was crispy and grilled nicely ~ there was a good amount of veggie and udon ~ I wasn’t able to finish it and so I have to bring the leftovers home for tea time lol … waiter was nice and friendly and brought us hot tea when we sat down! Highly recommend!! 😃 oh and the price point is perfect !!! This lunch udon is only $9.99, which is insanely good 😆“

“Had the roast and BBQ pork. This is to die for. It's busy at lunch time for good reason.. people drive from far away to get here for this.. even the rice has a special taste. And prices.. a double dish cost me 13.. and I can not eat it all.. so many other foods as well chicken duck. You just have to come.. cash only.. but we'll worth the wait.. show up early. 11 am you order and wait.. at 12 you are waiting out the door.. its that good.. it will not disappoint“

“The place isn't too big, but the meal came very quick if you are in a rush for lunch. Taste wise I like it. Noodles were nice and soft, Curry fish ball, beef vendor was soft and tasty, raddish was good, pork intestine was delicious. Only downside is you can hear the neighbours table conversation. Prices were very good and reasonable. If we are in the area we will be back there for lunch.“

“We ordered the set menu for two for lunch today. It was listed with a fish soup, a Baozai Fan, a mixed vegetables with mushroom and lotus root, plus a desert.

The portion of all three dishes was just right for two and I wonder if they have been adjusted to accommodate the menu. But at the end when we called for bill, we were not asked for desert (it’s listed in the set menu). And I only remembered it now when I am writing the review that we weren’t given deserts 😂 and that’s why I give 3* for service. And it wasn’t busy at all (3 -4 tables of two and a solo table)the time so I don’t know why it was ignored or forgotten by them.

In general, it’s a nice place to dine in our neighbourhood. I would recommend everyone to check all menu items before bills. 😂“

“This is a great place for dim sum, the decor is unique with a focus on birds. The food is fresh, delicious, and hot.

There’s a early bird special daily (except holidays) where all S, M, L dishes are $5.50.

I’ve come here twice so far and both times did not disappoint. Will definitely come again.“

“Tried this restaurant on a whim.
The food was really delicious. Ordered chicken balls, spicy chicken wings and fried rice.
The spicy chicken wings had really good flavor, however a bit greasy. The chicken balls with the sauce hit. And the chicken fried rice was salty, but I prefer my friend rice that way.
The person who took my order was so friendly. He came out of his way to come to the front door and hand me the food when it was finished.
It has huge portions and easily could share food with 5 people for dinner for the 3 dishes I ordered.“

“Food 5/5
