The food is hit or miss, the portion size is definitely small but the price is also cheaper. The water cook fish wasn’t spicy at all. The lobsters are ok. Not much meat, but that’s because the price you pay. The Fried Big Intestine was not clean, so it had the not clean taste. The Pepper and Salt stir fry squid, did not taste like squid at all.. tasted more like fish texture. The stir fry snails tasty, the first time. Second time we came back.. not so tasty anymore.

This Chinese restaurant is really good! Came here with a bunch of friends and the portion/pricing is extremely fair. The taste itself is super; we had numerous rice, chicken, lobster dishes along with really good hot sauces/chilli oils. I highly reccoemnd coming here to feast with the mandem and splitting the bill. We were shocked to see how low the bill was after it was split amongst about 8 people! 9/10 reccomend this place. There was just a small dog barking inside the restaurant which i personally didn't mind but some people may find a nuisance.

I ordered a fly veg. and a steam fish. The food tastes good and the service is OK. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is that no choice in live fish.

A nice restaurant for an economical and nice quality meal. I like their HK milk tea, it has a nice smell and taste. They are also running a special on lobster ye mein for $22, it's good value for what you get. It would be nice if the restaurant were a bit cleaner, the chairs, table and floor need to be cleaned up to improve customer experience.

Happy Fishman was recommended to me by a friend. It caters mainly to Chinese customers, so sometimes it's very difficult to communicate with the servers. When we came in, they didn't know how to welcome us because we were Southeast Asians but we were able to find a common ground. The food tasted authentic Chinese food. There is this signature taste that you can only get when food is cooked in a gas fire. We ordered lobster, fried rice, steamed fish, etc, and it all came fresh and piping hot to our table. We were very friendly with our servers even though we were communicating through sign language. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you can get past the communication barrier, the dishes tasted heavenly, and we also got free Hongkong style coffee on our way out. The prices are acceptable, and servings are not skimpy

Good value Cantonese restaurant located within Metro Square in Markham. All the dishes were cooked to reasonable consistency and quality. To me, the steamed fish stood out as it was cooked just right and soya sauce was blended well. Broiled running chicken was tasty and not overly salted. Portions were reasonable for the price they charge.

I don't know when Happy Fishman replaced the Asian Legend but I wish I knew earlier. This place is very nice! The food quality and price is extremely fair. I will definitely be back with my family. The most popular combo is probably the lobster/crab/bass one that comes with your choice of one to four dishes, a chicken dish, soup, and steamed rice. We chose the lobster, and due to market price we had to add $15 on top of the base price. But I still think it was very worth it, where else can you get a lobster dinner for under $100? It comes with two lobsters and can be made into HK style, which was very tasty and the portion was actually pretty good. We chose the three dish combo which came out to $76 + $15 surcharge for the lobster, which is very good value in Toronto these days. The dishes are good sized dishes as well, and the Sichuan boiled fish was one of the better ones I've had in Toronto which was surprising to me! The only miss was the 梅菜扣肉, which did NOT look like a traditional 梅菜扣肉. It was a meat patty with the preserved vegetable on top of it, which is pretty weird since I didn't think there were interpretations of this dish. I didn't like the taste of this one either, so I'll probably pick something else next time. The last dish we got was sweet and sour pork and it was good. Definitely will be back. Service was decent for a Chinese restaurant, if a bit slow.

Lobster Royal Chicken Sanhe Set Meal. Half a year ago, they said that purchasing lobster was too expensive and they had to add ten yuan more. Half a year later, it s still the same old routine, so why not just change the advertisement on your door to 69.99?

Extremely bad experience! Very poor food and service attitude. Will never come again!! This is so disappointing, can t imagine how this restaurant can have such bad waitress.

October 23, 2024

This restaurant is horrible, the food is not clean at all, the material is not well maintained. Suggest never go . Feel sick on eating their food

October 23, 2024

The food was so over priced. We got a king crab that cost 500 bucks and the server expected us to pay at least 10% tips for a 700+ meal while doing absolutely nothing to warrant such an absurd amount. The server voiced her dissatisfaction vocally while all we had was ~50 dollars cash after paying for the meal in cash, demanding for more tips. I felt disrespected and not happy about the service, and the tipping culture in Canada is ridiculous. Pls understand that I do not legally owe the restaurant any money after paying for the meal. Oh and this place charges extra for credit card payment

October 23, 2024

Today I saw a package deal for two or four people on swingby. It looked very discounted, but it could only be used from Monday to Friday. I called the store very politely today and asked if I could pick it up in the store and take it away. They were vague and asked me to read the details of the set meal myself. I said that I called to ask after reading the details and it was not stated clearly. Then the store owner said that since you are here, why dont you dine in. . . The attitude was very bad and he finally told me that he couldn t take it away by himself. He hung up the phone on me. What a great person who does this kind of business [Like R]

We had dinner here in the evening and opted for one of their set menus. However, since we didn t like sweet and sour pork, we paid an extra $35 to switch it to the lamb brisket pot. The lamb brisket pot was quite good, with tender meat and tasty bamboo shoots inside. As for the lobster, I wouldn t recommend getting it prepared in Meiju it wasn t great. But the steamed lobster was fresh and delicious. The dessert at the end was not a really good idea, felt very perfunctory and I wouldn t recommend it. Overall, the service was fine, and since the space is small, it was easy to get the staff s attention when needed.

Came here for the first time with my family today. Unfortunately our experience was not great, hence the one star. Atmosphere Nothing much to note here. Not exactly welcoming but not dirty. I didn t use their facilities so I cannot speak on that but the chairs were old and cracking and much of the decor was from the restaurant that was there previously. Service They were really trying to hard sell some of their seafood dishes. We ordered three lunch combos for our party of three but she suggested we buy an additional dish of vegetables because we haven t ordered any vegetable dishes. We ordered it because we felt pressured to do so but we regretted it. All our dishes contained vegetables and we couldn t finish the three dishes we originally ordered. We could have said no but we were uncomfortable with the hard sell. Also, since we ordered the lunch combo, milk tea and soup is included. They forgot to give us our soup until we asked for it halfway through our meal. Food Unfortunately the food was only ok. Nothing to get excited about. We ordered three noodle dishes (plus the veg dish they told us we should order). Really nothing spectacular. But the main reason I m writing this review is because we found a wire (thin and at least 2 inches long) in one of the noodle dish. I found it as I chewed on it and noticed something was not right. Not sure if there was more and we had already ingested it but we immediately brought it to their attention. Their initial reaction was to ask if we wanted a replacement dish but by this time, it was already towards the end of the meal and we didn t want another dish. She said (in Chinese), sorry, how do you want to deal with this? And we just said we are letting them know because this could be very dangerous, especially with children. She asked to check if I was ok and that was the end of it. We were kind of disappointed with their reaction and that they did not comp us for the dish or offer a small discount. Suffice it to say, we will not be returning.

I tried the Combo set lunch of Pork chop in maggie sauce. Good strong taste of maggie. Come with tea and soup is a complete meal. I &came back to try the Fresh oysters with balachan sauce. Unfortunately, this dish is overwhelmed with sautéed onions and diced red peppers. No sight of 8 pieces of fresh oysters. Also it is sad that they don t provide sugar for the milk tea. Food tasted good and the service friendly.

Food is so so. The HK style lobster turns out to be a bit sweet but it should not. The sauerkraut fish was not sour and not spicy at all. It had a lot of oil. Really not authentic but I dont blame them since this is not a Sichuan restaurant. The portion is good. Their lobster set meal is pretty economical. EDIT: Went there again and the lobster set price went up by $10. The lobster was not fresh. Other dishes were not good. It had a lot of meat but the flavour is not very good and the peanut was expired and had bad taste.

I came to this restaurant, it was busy. Felt like we were being ignored. I get it, its busy and it takes time. Food is mediocre, but whats surprising once I took home the salted egg yolk in prawns...something dropped OUT. TO MY HORROR, it was a cockroach. They steamed it with the prawn and fried the outer layer, and THEY DID NOT SEE THIS BIG COCKROACH ON IT? Seriously. Now im not sure how much I ate with cockroaches in them.

Came here to try their value combo, we picked the $67 one for 2 lobsters, 1 steamed chicken, and 2 dishes of our choice. It came with complimentary rice, soup and dessert. The lobsters are not fresh to be honest, but the way they cooked it is crispy and and tasty. Other dishes are just average, not very impressive but not bad either. The value is definitely there and the portion is pretty big. I think I will return again, but I will make sure the lobsters are fresh before I place the order.

Spent a good Boxing Day shopping then found a restaurant open till 10pm confirmed by calling them at 8pm. Upon arriving at 9:20pm and looking in there were no customers and it seemed they were sweeping up. Then someone that seemed like the owner or manager comes out and asks if we were here for dinner we responded yes then he says they are closed for the night then he process to drive off in his Range Rover. Being from NYC We are used to having many restaurants open late for dinner apparently not in the Toronto area. Spent some time in the parking lot looking for a restaurant which would be opened after 10pm and found Hqppy Fishman open to 1am - called them to confirm. Drove over and we were very happy we found this gem. New and clean restaurant with friendly staff. We ordered one of their set dinners which consisted of 2 fresh live lobsters cooked 2 ways, fried rice with lobster essence, tilapia fish which we were able to substitute with live grass bass fish steamed, steamed fresh chicken, shark fin soup, oysters, and baby bok choi. To end our meal we found out their Hong Kong milk tea is award winning so we ordered one - it s one of our favorites in town now! The staff and owners are friendly and attentive. The food is fresh and prepared with care. They do their best to accommodate you and opened extremely late. What else is better than all this? We will be back next time we are in town!

The lobster was not fresh, and it was easy to eat the steamed vermicelli. The meat shrank greatly and had no elasticity. Boss, please remember that seafood must be fresh! Dont fool diners.

(UPDATED JAN 2023) Im sorry but Ill have to take away the 5 stars I previously gave. I came back again in the new year and ordered a meal set for our group. I was told the meal comes with a 5 lb lobster, and they only had 5.5lb available. Im okay with paying the extra 0.5 lb of over weight fee. However, near the end of the dinner, I was told my meal set actually covers 2.5lbs only, so I had to pay for the 3 lb extra. My bill turned out to be more than $70/person. At this price, I could also get much better quality elsewhere. What I hate the most is how I was deceived to accept taking the 5.5 lbs lobster. If it was communicated upfront, Id be totally fine with it. Not coming back after this. --------------------------- Came here for dinner with my family. Great price and decent food! Waitress was polite and caring. She reminded us to be cautious with hot drinks. Also she made recommendations to special items that were not on the menu, without pressuring us to get those pricier items.

First time here for a family dinner, very disappointed, one of the staff was very loud and rude. We ordered 7 dishes and none of them were good. The Maggi beef didnt taste like Maggi, and the meat was raw. When we showed the staff nicely, they said its like that, and its 70% cooked (see picture, you can be the judge). They offered to remake it, but they just heated up the same plate, and it ended up old and chewy. The Pepper Pig Belly Soup was extremely salty and smelly, dont think they washed the belly properly. Gold and silver egg with Pak Choy tasted like nothing but tap water. We ordered their famous milk tea as well, but half an hour and made us repeat the size, temperature, and sugar level 3 times later, they came back asking us the same questions... The only acceptable dish was their chicken. We didnt order any seafood, and I hope their seafood is better. Perhaps this is just an off night, like the chef wasnt here tonight or something, but its been awhile since I left a restaurant feeling angry.

We had a family dinner here. They are very proud of their seafood and Cantonese cuisine. Their special combo includes 1, 2, 3 or 4 dishes selection are value for money, competitive in price but not compensated in food quality. It comes with a fresh double lobster dish combined with variety of Cantonese cuisine choices. Started from the daily special soup, lobster, the pork chop, spicy fish fillet, fried veggie, steamed minced pork are high standard. The dinner is closing with the deep fried durian balls. We enjoyed the night and we sure well come again with a bigger family.

Decent Cantonese dinner last night, had a lobster and crab set menu meal for 6 people for $388. We were able to book a larger table last minute on a long weekend. Portions were generous and all dishes were cooked decently (not stellar but overall flavours were ok and ingredients were fresh). Service was a bit hit and miss but the ladies there are friendly. Lots of chipped small plates that they need to throw out. Tea was so bland, they should change the bag a few times during a meal (or use loose leaves).

I saw many Foodies post about how good price, good portion and tasty food here at Happy Fishman . What impresses is that...you can order a big fine dining seafood group combo but they also offer daily special lunch and afternoon tea and a la carte dinner menus. I ordered a sweet corn fried fish steam rice with a big pipping hot Chinese boiled soup, all for $7.99 + tax! With insane inflations and high food cost, where do you find a dine-in restaurant that offers big portion tasty food and soup? I also ordered a satay beef fried noodle ($8.99 + tax) to go, it comes with soup and they separate the sauce from the fried noodles to keep it crispy and not soggy. Their lunch menu has a long variety of lunch options, starting from $8.99, $9.99, etc. The staff are hardworking, flexible and friendly. I highly recommend this place, its close to the hwy 404 and ample of parking lot inside the Century Square plaza. At Happy Fishman, the staff, the customers will eat happy and get home with their stomach satisifed.

Saw some good reviews on this place but not too good for me. We ordered the grouper combo (didnt add $18 for the grouper soup nor $8 for the tail portion and we had the skate) and added the razor clams. Shredded chicken came first and looked fine but seems not to be seasoned enough. The sweet and sour pork was crispy and tasty but the pineapple and onions seemed to be on the verge of going off! Yellow grouper fillet with veggies was okay although the choy sum was over cooked and limp. The razor clams were also overcooked and chewy but the garlic bits were the most tasty. The grouper dish was well presented but the broccoli was bland and cold. The overall value is good but a bit too bland for us. Service was decent and attentive and we were served mung bean soup as dessert.

This place doesnt have tasty food whatsoever. Service is great. We tried their lobster and a ton of other dishes and noooooo flavour. Prices are good, but not worth it. There are so many other great places to have seafood. Repeat? NO.

Ordered the lobster/shredded chicken combo along with 2 dishes plus a special dish sweet and sour pork/deep fried milk ( ). The portion of the sweet and sour pork is reasonable just that there were only 4 pieces of deep fried milk as well the coating was a bit too thick and hard, the milk filling was just too little so can t really taste it. Other than that the rest of the dishes were good. Also tried their iced milk tea, was ok.

This will be a drop in the bucket in the sea of 4 & 5 star reviews here, easily blown off, an Oddity of this Space, lost in the noise, an irregularity and an off-nominal data point. But when the server assured me emphatically that a dish has no spice, critical as Im physically intolerant of it, and then the dish arrives with visible red peppers with seeds, the decorum would dictate that said dish be returned and remade without spice as initially promised. It is not, however, polite, reasonable, hospitable or professional, for said server to rudely deny the exchange and then condescendingly demand the customer to order something else instead at own additional expense. If it wasnt for the presence of my compatriots, our interactions would have most assuredly ratcheted another few levels on the Scoville units.

I ordered two meals, one of which was Satay Beef Stir-fried River. It tasted pretty good, but the beef was so old...it also felt stale, and the ingredients had a bit of sour taste...it seemed to have gone bad! I won t help you anymore next time!

A tasty place to have a casual dinner. Their menu does have dinner fancier looking dishes but I didnt try that. The steamed half chicken with ginger and scallion sauce was very good as was the eggplant casserole with salted fish and chicken. Personally I thought it could use a bit more salted fish but it was probably a good amount for most people. Oddly I found the fish dishes to be overcooked and not as good as the chicken. This is good enough I wouldnt mind giving it another try but I would focus on the non seafood dishes.

Use the takeout app to enjoy the wild food. Maggi and ginger scallion lobster are both delicious, but the second time I ordered the lobster, it was not too fresh and the meat was numb, but it sold for the same price even though it was so good. It is not recommended to order boiled fish and spring rolls

Heard that this place has affordable chinese food so gave it a try. Slightly cheaper but also smaller portions and quality is slightly below average. Most recently we tried the stir fried seafood rice noodles which was bland and the squid was so overcooked I almost choked on it when I couldnt bite through it. The beef with Chinese broccoli was ok. The sweet and sour pork with fried milk had too thick of a coating on the pork, and the fried milk had a dry breadcrumb coating and little flavour inside. Servers are also overbearing and at least 3 different ones came to push some kind of set menu or dishes. Space feels a bit cramped.

So far, food is not so bad. The reason why only gave 2 stars because I ordered tiger prawn. The price is $25.00 or $28.00 (I dont remember) but only have 6 prawns (almost $5.00 each). The portion is an appetite not a regular dish. I know everything is expensive nowadays. However, prawn price is $17.00 per lb. only . In my opinion, it is at least 15 to 20 prawns per lb. The cost is for 6 prawns is less than $5.00. It is not worth to order it. Another than that so far as good.

First time at this relatively new restaurant. The interior is modern and relatively clean. The service is pretty good for a Chinese restaurant (IMO). We opted for their lunch specials which are offered from 11am to 3pm. I ordered L11 Chicken with Ginger Onion on Rice, $7.99 (comes with house soup). They say the chicken is free-run chicken. For the price, it is a great deal to get a massive plate of white rice, some vegetables and some protein (eating relatively nutritious and on a budget at a restaurant - cant ask for more). The chicken is cooked through, very tender and based on the size, appears to be free-run chicken. A lot of other tables were chowing down on their seafood specials - take a look at the menus!

A very cost-effective seafood Cantonese restaurant! I happened to pass by and saw the lobster set meal, which I thought was really cheap, so I decided to give it a try. Unexpectedly, I was really surprised. The lobster set meal for 59.99 was delicious and the portion was amazing to me. It was really conscientious and the store s service attitude was also super good. The best choice for Cantonese lobster in GTA!

Had a very bad experience and service with this restaurant today. First time here, waited for 45 mins still no food. Restaurants wasnt busy at all,theres still empty tables. Weve been follow up with the waitress 2x with the kitchen, however, no response at all. By 2pm, we were still waiting and we had to leave the restaurant empty stomach. My kids were complaining they were super hungry.The other table came after us and they already have soup and food. Very bad customer service do not recommend to come.

Sunday, Aug 14 around 11:45 am - its my time going to this restaurant for take out. They have a lunch special 11 am - 3 pm (every day) from $7.99 and up. They have good selections. I ordered black pepper beef with rice $7.99 plus HST, they give you a bowl of soup for free. The food was not bad, I dont taste much MSG. The portion was enough for one average person. The reason for a 3 star rating was the service. No one was greeting me when I was waiting for over 5 minutes. The two waitresses just walked past me. The room was less than half filled so not a lot of customers. Its important that you acknowledge the presence of your customers. I was not looking for immediate service but at least say Hi, I will be with you later.

This spot has some great food and great deals! I found them through the swingby app with a 20% off meal for two! They have two types and I tried both! The one that takes the cake is the lobster meal deal that comes with lobster fries, chicken fried rice, spring rolls, sweet & sour pork, and a hot & sour soup! And trust me, the portions were huge! It actually fed a family of us 4! So worth the money! Second one was sichuan boiled fish, fried rice with lobster tomalley, deep fried sesame chicken, fungus with vinegar The lobster in the first meal was cooked hk style and so good! The fries weren t anything wow, but a nice little add on to the lobster. The sichuan fish in the second meal was my fave! Had the slice, but also the fish was so smooth and silky! Service was awesome! All so super friendly and attending to our needs! I did do takeout for the lobster meal, but the fish meal I had dine in so got to experience both sides! Just as an FYI, they also have a huge bunch of lunch deals too! Definitely a nice little gem in metro square! Great job overall!

We ordered takeout online, their combo special, (lobster, chicken, and 3 other dishes). Very tasty food and my family really like it. (I did not have chance to take photos). The staffs in the restaurant handling takeout are very friendly. The only thing that needs improvement is they should read & pay attention to the instructions provided on the order. Parking: Free parking, weekdays quite easy to find parking spot, but weekend is a disaster in this plaza.
