“Great food & service.. & well located“
“Nowadays, Cantonese restaurants equipped with huge aquariums that are stocked with live seafood have become a common sight in the vibrant Richmond Hill/Markham Chinese culinary landscape. Nestled behind Richlane Mall, inside a secluded open-air strip plaza, atop of a small knoll, houses another such establishment. Tonight’s dinner gathering, organized by another family member, is a follow-up to last week’s going-away party. This time, the quality and caliber of food has been substantially elevated! For tonight, the meal will feature a Big Kahuna.....Live Alaskan Red King Crab prepared multiple ways! As for the wines?! Since IMHO, Riesling and Crab together are part of the Creator’s plan, a fine bottle of German off-dry masterpiece to pair with the star is a requisite. In addition to another bottle of elusive perfume and style 2014 Chateau Lafite, a reliable Zenato Amarone was also added to the mix for pairing with the meat dishes. Our party of eight went through the following courses with gusto and avidity: - 9 pounds Alaskan King Crab prepared 3 ways. - Steamed legs with caramelized minced garlic on a bed of rice vermicelli - Wok fried body with Maggi Sauce - Steamed egg custard Chawanmushi with crab brains - Whole Cantonese Roasted Duck, ‘ Pei-Pa Style ‘ - Stirred fry Chinese Cauliflower with wind dried preserved meats - Braised Tofu with mixed mushrooms and Chinese Greens - Fried Pork Spare ribs with Preserved Olive Tapenade Glaze - Stirred fry beef with Chinese Kale ( Gai-Lan ) Complimentary desserts of Red bean dessert soup, Cherry flavored jello and Almond Cookies. Overall, the lovingly prepared food coupled with the superb friendly service created a highly satisfactory dinner experience. Standard of the cooking IMO ranked amongst some of GTA’s best. During the past week, I had the good fortune to savor some extremely well executed Cantonese fare, first from StarChiva and now at Oriental Bistro. Indeed, I am grateful and blessed to live within such close proximity to some of GTA finest Chinese cuisine establishments.“

“Definitely very underrated location! The food was quite decent, delicious, and well priced, however the 红米虾肠 was lacking and seemed to use food colouring instead of red rice. Was very pleasantly surprised by the very beautiful and modern decorations.“

“Pretty good dimsum, plump, plentiful, quality ingredients, prepared well, and tasty. The back rooms were quiet and I liked it over the main dining area because my family and I could actually chat without needing to raise our voices. But fair warning, the back rooms are also quite chilly, the heat / hvac is a bit inadequate back there. Also, service is slow back there, the staff don’t visit often, and when they do they won’t check in on how you’re doing, so make sure you order everything you need up front. You may need to get your own utensils if you’re missing any. The tea was served weak. When asked for more leaves they gave too much, almost as if in insult. It’s interesting to see a private karaoke setup in the back room. It’s likely rentable for private parties.“

“The presentation of the dishes, the quantity and the taste were fabulous. The house was full on today's (Saturday) late lunchtime when we arrived. But we were seated shortly because of the 3-4 diligent young servers. We would like to thank Owen specially for his helpfulness and kindness so that we had a happy lunch!
We ordered deep fried spicy tofu which was just right for my palate to handle. The wrap of the beef steamed dumplings, or baos was thin with sufficient juice inside which is as good as the famous Chinese restaurant in First Markham Place. Last of all, the pork wonton in chicken soup was yummy too! Forgot to say the price was very affordable! Bonus!
I definitely will bring my family there in the near future. Hopefully we are going to see Owen again!“

“I don’t want to sound extra but the hand made noodles with tomato and eggs that I had yesterday reminded me of my mother. I miss her food. The place definitely will be my new favorite. Very clean and very delicious food.prices are reasonable and the staff specifically the guy who served food is very well spoken and very friendly. I highly recommend the restaurant.“

“One of my go-to dim sum spots. We always start with a pot of jasmine green tea, and my must-order dishes are har gow, shrimp cheung fun, BBQ pork buns, steamed rice noodle roll with fried dough (special style), deep fried squid, and fried taro dumplings. The food is always hot, perfectly cooked, and consistent in quality. Friendly staff and quick service every time.“
“Stopped by to see what was this all about. Frozen dimsum store which is awesome however I wanted a drink and I bought a few things but the first lady told me to spend $20 so I could pay with my card but 3 drinks was already $10 and I wasn't really willing to get anything else ??? so the other lady came to takeover the first lady said "it's okay just ignore her" lol. Hopefully next time I will purchase their frozen dimsum as I hear it's inhouse made and it looks very delicious!“

“It is the best curry fishballs I have ever had in Canada. It is very tasty. I love its spicy. It will be the go-to place for me to get curry fishballs and other Cantonese food and soup. I also bought blueberry Muffin and beans carrot pork bone soup. They all look very yummy. I recommend people who love Cantonese food to visit this shop. :D“
“First time buying frozen dim sum from Wa Jee Foods. I found them from Google Map search and didn't know much about them. The chive shrimp Har Gow was very good and I highly recommend it. The chicken shimai was on the dry side. Overall I am happy with their quality and will come back again in the future.“
“Went back today to try black sesame bao with salt “egg custard” filling (Delicious!); Fung Shing shrimp dumplings and Chicken siu mai. Great place for frozen dim sum!
********************
We’ve tried a few frozen dim sum places at Milliken & Finch. This store is clean, attractive with lots of frozen dim sum, frozen cooked food and desserts. We bought Jumbo shrimp har gow and Beef Brisket with tofu skin (cut brisket into smaller pieces - very good). Prices reasonable. Will return for more, thank you!“

“Went to this restaurant after missing their other location at STC which closed a few years ago.
It’s located in a mall near Yorkmills and Leslie and parking in the evening was easy.
The interior is beautiful nice ambiance lighting - wooden fixtures. Nice tables.
I booked for a party of 10 and the management accommodated.
It wasn’t busy when I went which I wondered I could see a few take out orders being done.
So a couple of things. Sunday their hours close at 8- I booked my reservations at 7 and asked the restaurant if they close at 8 should I move up my reservation- they said no they close at 9.
Well sadly they still closed at 8 and we were rushed on our dinner…
We ordered 2 set meals and some dim sum.
With some confusion we only received the meal for 1 set order and the dim sum we ordered the 2nd set order didn’t come.
When we asked they said the kitchen closed and they were sure we already got the food.
I was worried I would have to argue about the missing meal but the manager was nice and credited it from the final bill.
The food was not as good as I remember from STC. The dim sum sizes were small. The dishes were ok but lacked flavour. As we go to other authentic Chinese restaurants in Toronto I felt it wasn’t that great for the price. Probably caters to Canadian palettes.
The staff was super friendly and responsive bringing out dishes water napkins etc.
they never asked us about tea which was too bad.
We were celebrating a birthday and they let us bring the cake and brought it out at the end with the lights off which was nice.
Other than the mix up food and being rushed out it was nice.“

“My husband and I always wanted to try hotpot. First time here and the food was simply amazing. We had the porkp Bone broth. So rich in flavor. The restaurant has a complimentary snack bar and sauce section. The meat selection was so vast. The meat too was very fresh. All the staff were very friendly, especially our server Cindy. Can't wait to go again. Our new favorite spot.“
