Terrible dinner. There were only a few tables occupied on a Sunday night in early December when good restaurants were already very busy. The restaurant ripped off customers. The Peking duck was definitely day old. The lobster weighed 3.5 lbs at $30/lb but what was served to us at the table was at most 1.5-1.75 lbs. As for the beef tenderloin plate, there were more mushrooms than beef and the beef wasn’t tenderloin. The only acceptable plate was the vegetable. Service was not bad, acceptable and the bill had service charge added on. Will not return again.

Great place for families or groups looking for the full chinese dinner menu. We were very satisfied on the quality, cook and size of each dish, as well as the price point. Definitely recommend.

I recently celebrated my birthday at Fishermen Lobster King with my friends. The overall experience was enjoyable, especially the food, which we all loved. The ambiance and cleanliness of the restaurant were up to par, creating a pleasant environment for our celebration. The service, however, was average. There was a service charge of $50, which seemed a bit high considering the level of service we received. Despite this, we had a great time and appreciated the delicious meals. Would recommend it for its tasty dishes and nice setting, but there’s room for improvement in the service area.

Check your bills. They were offering 20% off cash payments, they took only 11% off. (Bill was $124subtotal, discount was $14) They also automatically apply gratuity/service charge. This is an automatic tip. They do not announce this on the menu or in restaurant when you order. Do not leave a tip on top of it. The food was good, portions were plentiful, and the service was fast. We went on an unexpectedly busy morning (Friday) but they got through customers fairly quickly. Groups of 5 or more were offered rooms.

We came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch at 12. I highly recommend coming for lunch since you get the same menu but it's cheaper. The food was very fresh and there was lots of variety. I preferred the stir fried lobster over the fried lobster, though I understand why people enjoy the fried as it also comes with french fries. I also like that the set meal that we chose came with rice, noodles and veggies making it a well rounded meal. We were 10 people and there was more than enough food without having to order extra, and we got to take food home! The restaurant is also very large and there are lots of tanks filled with sea creatures that my boys loved to look at. Note that you are also given a time limit for your seating. Over all would recommend a visit, even if it's just to try once in your life!

Waitress is very pushy on upselling you on food you don't want to eat. Went for dum sum and was shown the lobster promotion for $108. Declined it but was asked again 3 more times. Automatic gratuity of 12% on the post tax total, before discounts are taken in. Essentially I was billed the equivalent of 14% service charge. Food wise, it's not very fresh. The wrapper of har gow is slimey and the shrimp was under seasoned. The rice rolls were the same, Majority of the food was too greasy and left me feeling very heavy afterwards. The roast pork was enjoyable with a very light crispy skin. Unfortunately was given a piece with too much fat. The duck was seasoned nice but was on the fatty side again. Very nice decor and layout. However, I would not recommend even with 20% discount during certain times.

I had a wonderful late dinner here. My group arrived at 9:45 p.m.; they were operating their winter hours which closed at 11 p.m. My group had the special discount on barbecue duck in two courses for $28.80 after ordering $50 of regular menu items. The duck was delicious!

Quite crowded place around 12 noon, so you can imagine it’s a pretty popular restaurant, and may be short-staffed. Food was authentic with some pretty good ones, like the pork piglet meat, vegetarian geese and stone pot oxtail; one incentive is they offer a decent discount, which is quite attractive. We each spent $20 for the full meal.

December 19, 2024

Lobster is not flesh. Peking duck is deep fried not bbq. The Lobster took from the refrigerator they pre deep fried and place in refrigerator. Why I know? Some piece that I took still frozen after stir fried. Our bill was $368. Not worth it with bad quality

Roasted duck meat noodles, garbage in the garbage... I dont know what those roast meat guys are doing to save these things!? Its only ten yuan and eight dollars for you.. I love to masturbate with these ducks. ?? But everyone doesn t like such things... I don t know what it means!!!

I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant due to poor customer service. I ordered two Dim Sum items, but they forgot to include chopsticks or any cutlery. Initially, I was asked to wait for 20 minutes, so I went outside. When I returned after 15 minutes, they asked me to wait a bit longer. Eventually, someone found my food nearby, but it still lacked chopsticks. By the time I tasted it, the food was cold and not as fresh as expected.

December 8, 2024

I went there 11:am to order six dim sum the cashier said they only accept cash so I paid them cash. After finishing my order for takeout they said I have to wait for 30mins. After 30 minutes I came back, the cashier said my order still not ready yet. I have to wait for another 10 minutes.

The food was OK and portion sizes were decently large. The price does reflect some of the portion sizes. The main criticism is the lack of service. They put in the wrong order for one dish and forgot two dishes. There was no apology. We didnt get the missing dishes since we wanted to end this experience. The dishes and main dish plates after dinner were not cleared so the table was crowded during dessert. The tip is automatically added to the bill so there is really no incentive to provide good service. Also, this establishment is cash only as well. This place was not busy during Saturday evening so you shouldnt have an issue getting a table.

November 22, 2024

No service and their food almost made my teeth break. What s the reasons to force for 12% tip!?!?!?!?!! 1. They won t inform you when dishes are not available. 2. Bone inside bbq pork rice roll !?!? Which is suppose to be boneless. 3. The tea doesn t taste like tea; the leaves feel like they ve been used ten times over. 4. You have to wait 1 hour for a to go box.

Save yourself the trip. Service is not the very pleasant and the food is under-rated. Save yourself the money and avoid buying the salted egg crabs. No eggs at all and we had to pay $25 extra expecting the eggs but got a lot of flower coating. We came here 3 times, and the food quality is the worst this time around. Never coming back here again. Way better restaurants for the same price else where.

Do yourself a favour and avoid ordering lobster. We ordered a 2.5 lb lobster and it only had 4 small pieces of meat and skinny claws. Despite questioning the manager, they insisted that it was correct. We suspect it was closer to 1.5 lbs based on our observation. Additionally, the cost was $30 per pound, and they didnt bring the lobster out for verification of the weight. Whereas other restaurants will show the weight of the pre cooking lobster. It was a rip-off. Also, be cautious, its a cash-only policy with a mandatory 13% tip on top of the tax, which was included in the unacceptable bill. It is very annoying how they grabbed, cheated and stole money from the customers. I agree with one of the reviews, the waitresses were very aggressive in promoting the excess dim sum from the restaurant.

We came here on a friends recommendation for dim sum on Sunday, and its just okay.

I had dinner with my family at the fishing port today at noon. All the service staff had a bad attitude and ignored me. No matter they were men or women, they had the same attitude. I ordered braised squab and waited for a long time. All the other dishes were served, but the squab hadnt appeared yet. When I saw the order, I realized that they had missed it. I called the waiter again and told him that the missed dish was theirs. Omission, not even an apology, just said: Oh! Want to add this dish? I said it was because you missed the order, but I walked away without saying a word. After waiting for a long time, I asked why the dish hadnt come yet. He said: The pigeons havent arrived yet. Then let s change to steamed lobster . He said: 1 pound costs $30 and at least 2 pounds total $60. We want to add vermicelli. He said it will cost an extra $10, so this plate of lobster will cost $70. We agreed. , when the lobster was delivered, the meat was rotten, not firm and in a scattered shape. We didn t dare to eat it. It was not fresh at all and the lobster did not look like two pounds. We have never encountered this situation when eating lobster in other restaurants , which made him nauseous, so he called the waiter to tell him that the lobster was very stale, and he walked away without making a sound... I was really speechless... Later, I called him back to ask what to do with this dish. He said that it had been cancelled, without even an apology. It is really not advisable to use this kind of deceptive means to perfuse customers. This is the second time. When I first came, the price of the crab set meal was clearly marked on the menu. However, when I asked for an order, the price was increased per pound. This dishonest behavior made people feel uncomfortable. It has been included in the list. We are on our blacklist and will not be deceived again... By making our experience public, we hope that the public will be wary and not be deceived...

The food was actually quite decent, but the head staff (specifically the woman with the bob; probably one of the managers) was very rude and passive-aggressive. My family and I were there for around 1.5 hours to catch up while we ate. The lady very audibly was speaking to her male colleague (likely another co-manager from the way hes dressed) and talking about us with profanity whilst signaling she wanted us to pay and leave. Wouldve given a higher review, but honestly, the attitude of that woman was too unacceptable.

Ordered dim sum at 1:06, they said it would be 30 minutes, so I showed up at 1:36 and still had to wait another half hour for my take-out. Food was not fresh at all. Chicken feet tasted like the freezer. Rice roll skin was way too thick. Steamed ribs were tough to chew. Egg tarts were disfigured and watery.

Quite pricy but food was great. Only complaint is that their King Crab combo included a 7lb crab, but theres only larger crabs in stock. We were forced to pay 2lb extra at $85 bucks per pound which significantly increases the cost of the combo deal. Seems like questionable practice to me.

The peking duck is absolutely delicious and must order while it is on promotion. You are getting a whole duck at the promotion price. Other dishes may depend. I find their deep fry dishes taste better then stir fry. The chicken with pork stomach soup is different from what I was expecting. They seem to have the right material but the cooking is debatable. Giving 4 stars consider the overall value, but most likely I will not try again.

The roasted pig is suckling pig, first class. Other roasted meats are just fine. The environment is good and the service is good. Its more affordable than Congee Queens 200 yuan for a meal of rice noodle porridge, but of course it wont be the same price as before. It s a bit tricky to ask for cash, but there is also tax, which is a common problem in Chinese food stores.

Below is the size of lobster, the head is smaller than the rice bowl. Service was good at beginning until their regular came,cant even get any attention. Waiter walked pass us wouldnt even have eye contact. I have to wave someone down. Also be aware cash plus tax and tips. So for 5 people its cost $378 for dinner

The service is extremely bad, the fried rice and noodles are completely tasteless, and the most unreasonable thing is that if you pay with a credit card, you will be charged an additional 5% handling fee. And 12% compulsory service charge.

We ordered 10 pound lobster dinner set ,everything came out except the lobsters, Lobsters show up at last but we all full . I ask where is our Peking duck she said she forgot to place order, what a F. She didn t even apologize . When the bill showed up , they charge $13% service charge . $109 I asked the waitress why they gave us small Lobster , she said 10lbs lobsters set dinner use small lobsters. I ve been to jumbo lobster , they Gave us 3-4lbs size lobster and it cost less. Now I spent $900 for a nothing at bridal wood mall . They still ask me to come back . Never. 13% charge for Terrible service . Don t go . Spend your $ north of Steele .

Their barbecue restaurant used to be located in the Metropolis Foodcourt s Lian Fat! After looking for it for a long time, I unexpectedly came across it! ! The barbecue is super delicious!

Ordered two dishes (steamed fish and beef stir fry) but it took over 45 minutes for the two dishes to come. The fish came first and we finished the entire fish while we waited for the beef. It was taking so long that the server went in the kitchen to follow up twice. It was obvious the kitchen forgot it but even after the first follow up, the kitchen somehow didn t get to it immediately which required a second follow up. Not once did I escalate it or inquire about it because it was my first time there and I wasn t sure how long food normally takes. There was a mandatory 12 or 15% tip which I had no choice but pay. The service I received was definitely not worth their mandatory tip. Our dinner for two dishes lasted 1.5 hours which was not worth more than a 5% tip to be honest. Not to mention that their steamed fish was $80 but was a very small fish that other restaurants would normally charge $20-30 for that size. It wasn t anything special or extremely well made. If you expect to get your money s worth, I suggest you take your money and eat else where.

I don t want to give it even one star, it s too bad, you re a profiteer from a black shop! I obviously ordered a double combo of siu-mei, but they served me a claypot rice with sausage, mushrooms, and chicken. The fat guy with big head and big ears who looked like the second senior brother refused to admit his mistake. He even called the police Threaten me. Later, a person wearing glasses said that 12% tip is a legal requirement. Haha, I asked her to show me which rule it was, but she could only stare. You have the nerve to ask for a tip after such poor service, so show some respect! The taste is not good either, the squab is not fresh, other dishes are also unpalatable, and the price is too expensive!

I went to this fishing port for a very angry dinner last Christmas Eve A staff member wearing glasses and a black suit (I don t know what position she held, if she is at the minister or director level, with such an attitude, she should be demoted ordered half a meal) It took less than a minute for the goose to be roasted, but she told me that the order had already been placed. I told her that the order could be canceled within a minute, but she refused in a strong tone and said that the chef had already cooked it. My family was very angry at the time, but because we wanted to go out for dinner on Christmas Eve and didn t want to make ourselves unhappy (I thought we would never come again), we didn t argue with her. As a result, the soup we ordered was Maggi Vancouver Crab, and the soup was full of beans. It was served, but the roast goose had been chopped fifteen minutes ago, but it was not ready yet. I couldnt bear it any longer and questioned the incompetent employee. She then started to soften her tone and apologized. The ugly face of the apology made me even angrier Guests can choose freely when ordering food, and I am not unreasonable, I am just afraid that half a roast goose is too much to eat, so I will eat squab instead, no matter how much more Order a dish. As a service staff, it is really infuriating that she treats guests with this attitude!!! No wonder the business is so bad, there are only 5 tables of customers in the whole restaurant during Christmas Eve dinner. This Christmas Eve, I met my family. An unpleasant dinner experience If you come to this restaurant, remember to remember the overbearing employee who wears glasses and black suits and has good service ethics (I noticed that she is the only one who wears glasses). The food prices are also expensive and the environment is average. . Not worth going

We went there for dim sum lunch. The food overall was below par compared to other similar dim sum places. The food was extremely blend and tasteless. The service was rather slow. The staff was very unfriendly. They automatically add in a 15% (or 10%, we forgot) service charge to your bill. I do not see any signs saying that and the staff did not make us aware of that. Its a good thing that we checked the bill before paying. For that quality of food and service, 15%/10% service charge is way too much. Wheelchair accessibility: Not that we are aware of.

I was a little dubious when my mother in law asked us to have dinner at this place knowing that Im allergic to shellfish. But what we discovered is this restaurant is quite good with their portion sizes. From the pictures you can see we ordered a Cantonese chow mien, beef with broccoli, Peking duck (two ways), and a sweet and sour pork. The Peking duck was excellent, I would come back just for that. They are very generous with the second round of duck with tons of lettuce wraps. The beef with broccoli was a big hit. Beef was very tender and flavorful, broccoli was cooked perfectly -- crunchy but soft. The Cantonese chow mien is nothing to write home about but portion was unbelievable. We had 5 people at the table and barely made a dent in it. The sweet and sour pork was probably the weakest of the dishes we ordered, nothing special about it and the pork was a little overcooked. Flavor wise was fairly standard. Overall we liked our experience at Fisherman Lobster King.

We had dinner here with some friends, ordered one of the set dinners for 10. It featured the Peking duck and lobster. Duck was okay but lobster Cantonese style was not as tasty as it should.

We had dinner at fisherman lobster king as my mom told me that they have a good menu and good peking duck compared to the ones that we have always been to (skyview fusion and the one fusion in richmond hill). The Peking duck was excellent, the skin was very crispy and the wrap that comes with it was very thin which i love. My kids have always been big fan of peking duck and they have no complains on it. Satisfied with the food we ordered but not the price roasted pig. The pricing of the roasted pig was unreasonable ($68) with the portion we got. We didnt check price before we order food usually, it was partially our own fault. I am comparing to the usual restaurants we go to at which they charge the same portion size for $48. The roasted pig was definitely over priced in my opinion. We will go back again as food was quite good, but will definitely not order the roasted pig again for dinner.

Its expensive and overpriced. It costed $16 for two bbq items rice with very thinly cut bbq pork and few pieces of roasted duck. $21 eggplant shrimp e-noodle with mostly noodle and very few eggplant pieces or shrimps. They add tips into your total for 12% but they calculated the 12% AFTER tax. I wouldnt go again.

We went on a Thursday night. The set dinner tasted so-so. The service was not responsive. When the bill came, two issues were found: 1. a 15% tips, based the after tax amount, was bundled. 2. a 5% charge would be applied if paid by credit card. If the service was good, I would not mind paying even more but it was not the case. To spend $50 per head, Ill go somewhere else next time.

PLEASE AVOID. THIS PLACE SCAMMED ME ON MOTHER S DAY. I called days in advance to book a table for 6 for Mother s Day and specifically asked if they could offered a set menu that was on their website. The lady on the phone said yes. However, when we were ordering the servers said No and said they were only doing the Mother s Day sets which were $400+ while the set combo we wanted was $199. They did nothing to compensate for the trouble and even tried to upsell us by offering a better deal which was a menu with sets that were over $500. I was lied to and robbed of my money PLEASE DO NOT COME HERE. There are so many other Chinese restaurants in the area that are better. The service was terrible, our waitress kept dropping plates as well and was very rude to my boyfriend. Please do not come here unless you want mediocre food at an insanely high price, with the risk of getting scammed. Extreme disappointment and scamming those who do not know better. STAY AWAY

Average Experience, Not Ideal for Small Groups. I recently visited Fisherman Lobster King and had a mixed experience. While the restaurant is clean and spacious, I found it to be similar to many other Chinese restaurants Ive been to. One thing to note is that the staff seemed less inclined to provide assistance when it came to ordering, so its important to come prepared with knowledge about the menu. One aspect I appreciated was the great deals available for larger groups of 5 or more. If youre going with a big party, it could be a good option. However, for smaller groups or individuals, the prices may not offer the best value for money. This seems to be a place primarily focused on catering to large crowds, which unfortunately meant that my companion and I were seated in a corner. It would have been nice to have a more central table, considering we only needed space for two people. One highlight of the meal was the dumplings, although I should mention that the portions were larger than what we are generally used to. If you have a big appetite, this might be a plus for you. The flavors were good, but it would have been helpful if the menu indicated the larger portion sizes for those who prefer smaller servings. Overall, Fisherman Lobster King is a decent restaurant with a clean and spacious ambiance. However, if youre dining as a small group or looking for value for money, there may be better options available. Parking: Ample parking as its part of the mall.

Dont go. This restaurant charged ridiculous tips. We dont mind pay tips but not forced to add on with 15%. We did not ask to sit in private room but restaurant led us sit without telling us to pay 15% tip without good service. The restaurant is empty and l really do not know why sit in room will charge 15% tips. Food was bad. We ordered $338 combo. Menu include Lobster 8 lbs but they said was 8.35 lb and charged $30 a lb which is the most expensive among all Chinese restaurant, even higher than most famous restaurant. Soup is the worst. Menu said it is but it is clear like water . The whole menu nothing was good. Another one chicken. No taste, not tender, it is black color. Overall, l advised with the amount of money spent, you could find other restaurant to go. I cannot deny that 2 years ago, this restaurant was good to go. At that time 8 lbs combo is under $200. Now this restaurant was double the price.

It was 6 of us and had dinner here on 8/29, and it was a bad experience, we ordered our $600 set dinner and It became $1000. The older lady Maître d was pushy and had a bad attitude from the beginning a piece of poop. She didnt even want to offer 6 cans of soda on a 1g dinner as there was 2 flies that landed on one of the dish. a second Maître d came and offer us some help by complimentary us half a chicken but opt for the soda instead. The king crab and lobster and fish were very fresh and tasty . The crab fried rice was bland. The preserved pork and sausage cook with califlower was a bit salty, but ok. The big pot of duck and herb soup was plenty and very good. We had left over to take home. For the starter was a tiny plate of free peanuts and sour reddish which we need to ask for it. The issue I had was if you advertised something, you should have it or change the menu, not fake something. The menu advertising 6 lbs of king crab but restaurant do not carry this size, as per the old lady Maître d, they do not or never carry this size, she said 6 lbs crab have no meat and not as good. The 8 lbs and above is the best according to the mean old lady Maître d, so no choice but to take an extra 2.5 lbs of King crab at 88.00 per lb extra, it became around $ 250.00 more. I think this is the usual practice of all restaurants. Its a little over board, but if you have to pay, go to a better restaurant with better service. As the 15% tip is mandatory. U dont get what u paid for. Hope this will be helpful for u to decide whether u really want to eat at this restaurant.

We come for dinner 8 people .order the lobster n Peking duck set dinner .total cost with tax n tips come to $445. Which is kind of ok price compare with other Chinese lobster seafood restaurant in the area.Keep in mind we add three extra vegetarian dishes.because one of our member did not eat meat at all. Taste of the food are ok.some dishes taste nice. Service was very good.but one major problem is that they give you all the dishes at once. For traditional Chinese food n.profesdional good restaurants .this should not happened at all. I understand if there is long line up of people outside...it is kind of acceptable but there is only five table of guests here inside the restaurant so there is tons of empty table around. They dont need to rush the dishes all at once..because of this I give 2 1/2 stars ..since there is no 2 1/2 stars choices here...so I can only mark 3 stars.... Most recently updated August 2023 - i went for a small dinner gathering again with about 50 peoples in a private room, this time the dishes come in slowly and nicely, not in a huge rush. Some of the dishes are good. so this time i gave them 4 stars..service always good there

All those funny awkward reviews that you see about how they like to do their own pricing is true. Good thing I took heed. Thx for the heads up! However, I have to say the dimsum is good and that there are a couple dishes that are a bit different. Note! When you go for early dimsum cash price for 20%off as stated, when you do the math, it is clear that they are FALSE advertising. (In reality, it works out to be 18ish%). The tip that is added to your bill is in fact added AFTER the taxable total amount. There is a warning clearly stamped that advises you that you will get charged mandatory tip. Indeed they may provide any kind of service and will still reap To Insure Proper Service. In fairness, the service is ok for a Chinese restaurant. Also, noted is that the mall entrance to the restaurant is awkward. There is a mini maze with some behind the scenes views, that should really be kept behind the scenes.

Dishes are okay. A bit salty and starchy for my taste though. The price is HIGH for sure. My review is purely on their service. We had a server who had no interest in talking with us, nor serving us. When we ask for anything, he does NOT look happy. It feels like we are wasting his time. He never once checked how our food was, he rolled his eyes when we ask to heat up soup and told us he will just microwave it. The issue here is, they are not working for more tips! The tips aka service fee (12%)is already added to the bill. This tip is added on top of tax. You have to pay for it. We ordered a meal bundle, $599, ended up paying $820ish. Tips were about $80. If there were any service, we wouldnt mind paying tips. And when we questioned the service to the manager, she said the server answered all your questions. This is shocking! If this is the lowest requirement you could have for service industry.

They have Dim Sum at 20% discount for cash payment before 11:am. The prices have increased almost double from $5.30 (S) to $10.30 (XXL). Tea charge is $2.50/pax. They also automatically includes tip of 13.3% - 15%. Food prices have increased and service/cost were probably incorporated into the pricing. This tipping practice should be more transparent, clear and upfront. GTA areas should stop this practice of tipping and move towards more sustainable self-serve Food Courts. To satisfy my hungry, I could easily eat BBQ meats on rice for only $9.00 Remember, Dim Sum is more of a light breakfast/snack food that should not cost more than a hour of minimum wage. Seafood will also be a toxic food to eat.

Update review: -Cannot make reservations for weekday morning dimsum -Insufficient waiters -social must try claypot rice wasnt good--tge rice is undercooked and no crunchy rice at the bottom of the clay pot. However, the cured meats were tasty -their special roasted suckling pig was not even warm and the sin was NOT crunchy!! -cash-only for special sets which was unbeknownst to us; the waiters should have mentioned that at the time of these orders +++ First review: Went for early bird flat rate dim sum. Tasty food. Har gow and traditional sponge cake were excellent. Tried the truffle har gow which close to $7 ($3 more than regular ones)--they were delicious but not worth the steep price! First time saw a sink in each individual toilet. Found it a bit confusing...no distinction between men and women washrooms but theres complete privacy. What is unacceptable is that even though there is a humongous handicapped washroom, the restaurant uses it as storage for mops snd miscellaneous supplies so diners on wheelchairs have no access!! Parking: Scarce handicapped parking spots.

December 22, 2023

CAUTION!!! First time here and last. BEWARE!!! DISHONEST!!! SCAM!!! UNTRUSTWORTHY!!! LIARS!!! CHEATERS!!! Our bill was $950 for 6 adults and 1 child. I did some calculations myself when it was time to pay and found that they added the in-house 12% gratuity after tax total which brings the total bill higher than it should. The 12% gratuity should be added before tax so I ended up paying $13 more for the gratuity. 12% before tax gratuity should have been $93 but the gratuity was $105 instead. THIS IS NOT RIGHT! I brought it up to the manager and he offered to return the difference but at this point I said forget it. I should have asked for a copy of the receipt to show it here. They dont even offer a receipt. I guess you have to ask for it. Food was bland and flavorless. Spent $950 total for six adults and 1 child. They dont even accept credit cards, only cash or debit for their high cost bills. So they rip off customers by charging you more and they most likely dont even pay taxes because all their receipts are hand written so they just throw out some receipts for the cash paying customers who end up paying more because they lie and cheat to get more out of you. Very disappointing to say the least. An establishment like this doesnt even take credit cards, receipts are all hand written; very unprofessional. ***If you are paying for the crab and lobster by weight, how can you even trust that you are getting what you pay for because of their DISHONESTY?!?!?! When they bring out the crab and lobster, they tell you it is a certain weight and my lobsters and crab were over weight for the combo price that is stated on the menu so they charge you the difference which was almost $60 more in my case. The combo I chose was $799 but when they bring out the crab and lobster they will cook for you, how do you know and how can you trust it is what youll get because they might just switch it to a smaller one before cooking it because my crab dish seemed way smaller than the one they brought out for me.. Cant trust this restaurant! Trust me, STAY AWAY!!!

We had a terrible experience at this place. To begin with, the cheap meal box available on the wall is for take out only. We didn t know this until we sat at the table. Everything else on the menu was expensive and tasted so so vs. other Cantonese restaurants. They added the mandatory 13% tips to the bill, which we cannot change. We didn t bring cash. Like other cheap Chinese restaurant, they don t take credit cards. So we decided to pay using debit card. At the checkout, the server said since you ordered daily special, you have to pay cash. And there is a RBC ATM at the mall. I guess they told this million times to other guests who don t have cash? And why don t you say in the beginning when we order the food? I was about to argue with the server but my wife stopped me. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and I won t come back again.

They screwed up your big pricey meal over $350, still changing you service charge! They did not understood they just made you pay big price for leaving you a horrible experience!

Usually come here for Dim Sum with friends and family on a weekend once a month. We always opt for a private room and since were usually early we get one. Food is spot on, good quality and the prices are fair. Have had some issues with the one manager, shes quite a bit rude at times and clearly doesnt like people in general it seems lol , but other than that its a pleasant spot and we keep coming back.
