Dim Sum Restaurants near Unionville, ON

“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“

“My sister brought me here because she thought I'd like it. I always get to try new places whenever I visit.

The person at the cash was friendly. I like the cooler bag you get when you buy a lot of stuff. I'm from Ottawa and we don't have great dim sum here, so I loaded up a cooler with goodies.

Prices are good and the store is bright and organized. I haven't tried the ready made meals, but everything else was as I expected them to taste. I guess I'll have to continue to load up my cooler whenever I'm in Markham... until the franchise opens in Ottawa!“

“Good food and Good Services!!“

“Food was really good, everything came fresh. I would recommend getting the sweet and sour fish, it was perfectly crispy with a balance of sweet and sour. Our server was very kind, she even gave us dumplings on the house and offered to pack our food for us. Would come back again.“

“Bao House absolutely exceeded expectations. The deep-fried tofu is some of the best I’ve ever had perfectly light, airy, and crispy on the outside while staying soft inside. It’s not greasy at all, just beautifully cooked and incredibly satisfying.
The pan-fried dumplings were equally impressive: crisp on the bottom, tender on top, and packed with flavour. Every bite was comforting and well-balanced. And the soup dumplings deserve special mention rich, juicy, and full of depth, with delicate wrappers that held together perfectly.
You can really tell care goes into both the food and execution here. Everything we tried was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and genuinely delicious. Bao House is the kind of place that makes you want to come back and order the same dishes again and then branch out to try more. Highly recommend.“

“Small restaurant (about 10 tables) that also seems to do a fair bit of take-out. We have been coming here for about a year and we always have a great experience. The food is delicious and the price is right- best dumplings in Toronto.“

“Good food. Cozy place. Open early morning. One of the best rice rolls. Their chef recommended dishes are all pretty good.

Milk tea is served with sugar on the side . I can manage my own sugar in take , which i like a lot.“

“First time here, shout out to the cashier. He was super friendly, not very talkative, but he gave off a calm and welcoming vibe. (Don’t know his name, he’s a bit chubby and he told me he rarely there.)

I asked about reheating and mentioned my partner is vegetarian. He knew the products so well and gave great suggestions. The dim sum he recommended was right up our alley!

One small suggestion: would love to see some soup options back on the menu, I heard there used to be a few.“

“Tak Fu even prices things the old-school way (by dish, no specials) with categories ranging from $5.99 (S) to $9.99 (SP). Tea’s a humble $1.50 a person, softening the blow of slightly higher food prices.

So, what’s so special about Tak Fu?

Start with the siu mai or steamed pork dumpling ($7.99). Most places pulverize the pork into springy meatballs. Not here. The pork is hand-chopped, juicy, and tender, breaking apart easily with each bite. Finely diced mushrooms add a hit of umami, while a plump shrimp crowns the top instead of being hidden inside - simple, balanced, and traditional.

Then there’s the har gow or De fu steamed shrimp dumpling ($8.99). The shrimp are properly cleaned and not over-tenderized, keeping their natural flavour and crunch. They’re cooked just right, encased in a slightly thick but satisfyingly elastic wrapper.

The steamed bean curd roll with satay sauce ($7.99) is dense and hearty… half a roll will do. Its filling leans pork-and-cabbage heavy, more like a spring roll in taste, so it’s not as exciting flavour-wise but still comforting.

For a contrast, the steamed rice noodle roll with fried dough in special style ($7.99). The hot, crunchy fritter wrapped in silky rice noodle is spot-on texturally, though the hoisin and sesame sauces could be thicker. Maybe they’re thinned out for easier pouring?

The steamed rice noodle roll with BBQ pork ($7.99) is stuffed to the gills with big chunks of meat and nothing else.

Pair any rice roll with the congee with preserved egg and pork ($8.99) and you’ve got a hearty solo meal. The pork’s properly seasoned, the preserved egg plentiful, and the texture rich and smooth.

For something lighter, go for the dried scallop & seafood dumpling in soup ($8.99). It takes time, but arrives piping hot with a massive dumpling stuffed with shrimp, octopus, scallop, mushrooms, and BBQ pork - generous and satisfying.

The deep-fried squid ($9.99) might just be the best I’ve had: crisp, tender, and barely battered. There’s also plenty of it to go around. Say what you will, Tak Fu doesn’t skimp on portions.

Even their fried rice noodle with beef ($13.99) impresses. Sliced beef, bean sprouts, and onions get a good kiss of wok hay, and those caramelized onion bits add a hit of flavour. A solid, classic version.

If you can wait half an hour, end with the steamed milk ($7.99) for dessert. Lightly sweet, perfumed with ginger, it’s a silky, nostalgic treat you won’t find in many places anymore.“

“August 8 is hands down one of my favourite sushi spots. At least this specific location for me is. Honestly, it feels like it should be a high-end restaurant, the quality of the food is that good.

Of course, their sushi is amazing (fresh, flavourful, and beautifully done), but what really stands out is the variety on the menu. The flavours they use are insane. They have these beef tacos that are absolutely phenomenal I think about them all the time. I always pick the dinner option because I feel like it has more variety to choose from.

My boyfriend and I literally drive all the way from Vaughan just to come here, which says everything about how worth it it is. The staff are also incredible there are always plenty of team members on the floor, so service is fast, attentive, and super efficient.

Everything tastes so fresh, the vibes are great, and they always play good music, which just adds to the whole experience.

Definitely my go-to sushi spot and easily one of the best I’ve been to.“

“I've been ordering takeout recently from Bao Express and every order has been solid and has me coming back for more. I appreciate the Mrs. Digi online ordering system and this is now my go-to for chinese dumplings. The prices are reasonable. The egg chinese crepes are more on the dry side and the noodles are a bit on the too soft side for my personal liking, but the dumpling are definitely the star of the show.“

“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!“

“I don't know how to respond to comments but thought to respond to Christie's comment that her siu mai was mostly sticky rice: girl, that's Shanghai style siu mai, not the pure pork ones you get from dim sum (Cantonese style)... This is the only place that I'm aware of in the GTA that you can get this style of siu mai. My family has been buying the sticky rice siu mai here since over than 10 years ago and I'm very grateful for the store's existence. Now, the price has gone up significantly over the years and whether it's worth it is a different story.“

“We wanted good quality Zongzi 粽子(green bean, salted pork and salted egg yolk 鹹蛋黃with sticky rice wrapped in lotus or other leaf, and found it here, based on menu with old prices posted by others. This store sells frozen ones with choice of 1/4, 1/2 or whole salted egg yolk. Bought 2 whole salted egg yolk ones ($8 each), delicious. Good for a treat once in a while. We tried their frozen har gow as well (only one size available. Har gow was good but we prefer the Jumbo ones from other stores. The women who staff this store are very nice, thank you!“

“The frozen dim sum are good and suitable for families. Only problem is the staff there are consistently unfriendly and mean. I’ve been there several times and each time is the same, they talk with an attitude for no reason and make the interaction very uncomfortable.“
