Jiminy crickets, holey moley, great balls of fire, good grief, holy shitballs, I've run out of phrases to express my amazement at the transformation of this place since my last visit a long time ago. Modern futuristic black interior and ceilings, walls of glass cabinets containing wine, aged meats, lobsters, crabs, etc. Spacious circular booth seating with large tables to accommodate the many dishes you'll be ordering. They had their normal lunch specials, we chose the lobster, 4 dimsum dishes and 1 veg dish They offered the lobster cooked in black truffle, I need this in my life. Succulent lobster, black truffle flavor was very distinctive and noticable with each lobster bite Dim sum dishes were flavorful. Veg dish (pea sprouts w/ goju berries cooked perfectly Been told place is packed at lunch every day due to their lunch specials so come early if you don't want to wait. Protip- upon entering parking area, don't waste your time waiting for spots to open up near entrance, drive towards the back where there is plenty of parking read more

Came here for weekday dim sum; I believe all dim sum are 5.99 Mon - Fri. Overall the restaurant is nice and spacious. However, it's way too dark inside. The staff are polite enough, however more than once I made eye contact with one of them only to be purposely ignore. As in they look at you back and very intently look away and ignore your call for service. Food was good, we ordered a variety of dim sum dishes and they all tasted good. The overall selection of dim sum isn't very large thought and portion sizes are small. They do have a lot of combo meals that look good to try if you go with at least 4 adults. Not entirely sure I would come back because of the service. read more

I am glad I made reservations for my party of 10 for a Thursday night. By the time we were done with dinner, there were a lot of people waiting inside and outside at 7pm. Their parking lot is large, so while people may have to park further away from the entrance, there is ample parking. Ambiance was really nice (it is pretty dark in the dining area), restaurant was large and clean, and staff were all very friendly and helpful. We were seated by the large tanks of lobsters and crabs and seating was comfortable and we were not too crowded. Their tea is delicious and beautifully presented and kept warm. Love this touch, as I love tea! Items ordered: King crab tower- Delicious and sooo good!! Lobster with salted egg yolk- Omg! Love this and the flavors! Lobster with maggi sauce- Smotger solid dish!! Their house soup was also phenomenal! Sweet and sour pork- Dish was fine Steak- Not prime grade but enjoyed the char and flavor. E noodles with greens- dish was fine Pea shoots with trumpet mushrooms- good veggie dish and ingredients were fresh I love that their food was not overly salty and you can order a set menu or à la carte and add to a set menu. The disposable gloves were helpful and a nice touch. read more

I've been to Jumbo Lobster a few times for dinner and have truly enjoyed every visit!! First impression as soon as you walk in - this place is impressively grand. Plenty of seating for different sized groups, and the walls are lined with either wine, cuts of meat or tanks filled with various sea creatures. For dinner, we always have to order the lobster and steak combo. The steak has consistently been a flavourful medium rare (to our preference) and there is so much meat from these lobsters! I can't pick which way I like the lobster cooked more - steamed or wok fried.. both are delicious. For additional dishes, you can't go wrong with the short beef ribs and the pea shoots with king oyster mushrooms are a great option if you're trying to add veggies to a meat-heavy meal. The service staff are always on top of it. They are always coming around to make sure we have enough water at the table and food came out so quickly. I can't wait to come back again soon! read more

We love coming here to celebrate family milestones because it's always a guaranteed good meal. While they're known for lobster, the steak is actually our favorite. It's consistently tender, cooked perfectly, and kept warm over tea lights, which is such a thoughtful touch. We also never skip the garlic cloves after they've been slowly cooked in the herbs and butter. The Hong Kong-style lobster comes piled high with crispy fried garlic and fries, both dangerously addictive. The Maggi lobster was meaty and perfectly seasoned, while the salted egg yolk crab legs were packed with rich, savory flavor. The steamed sea bass was light, flaky, and fresh, and the snow pea tips helped balance out the meal. Pro tip: Save the crispy garlic from the Hong Kong-style lobster, air fry it the next day, and sprinkle it over rice like furikake. It's too good to waste! read more

In just a few words, it says it all: absolutely awesome to be back enjoying such beautiful seafood, including the impressive king crab tower and fresh lobsters. The grilled Angus steak was also consistently well executed, with excellent flavor and perfect rareness. Everything came together to create a truly satisfying dining experience. The combination of great food and enjoyable atmosphere makes it a place worth returning to. Overall, it is definitely worth the bill for such a fine and memorable meal every time. read more

Decent dimsum. Quality is not as good as others but potion sizes are 50% larger than others. Items come in portions of 6. A lot of the dim sum wrappers are not as thin as other spots. It hits the spot but I think they are probably better for dinner. Ambience is elegant for asian. Service is good. read more

A beautifully decorated banquet hall with a classy, upscale atmosphere -- perfect for family celebrations or special occasions. The space feels refined, modern, and welcoming. We ordered the 2-3 person lobster set meal for the four of us (2 adults and 2 pre‑teens), and the amount of food was incredibly generous. Honestly, it was more than enough -- we wanted to keep eating, but our stomachs had other plans. * Chicken Soup: Rich, flavourful, and served in a huge pot. We couldn't finish it all, so we brought the rest home and enjoyed it again later. * Lobster: Delicious, perfectly cooked, and definitely the highlight of the meal. * Dry Aged 28 days 16oz Steak: This was the only slightly underwhelming dish -- OK, but not as impressive as the seafood. * Snow Pea Greens with king oyster mushrooms: Tender, fresh, and very tasty, though we were too full to finish the entire plate. Overall, the food was satisfying and the portions were extremely generous. This is a great spot for celebrations, and I'd happily return to try more of their set menus and specialty dishes. read more

A nice change from Fisherman's Clubhouse! This is our first time we been here and oh boy were we impressed by how massive the restaurant was. The seafood combo menus look almost identical to what you can find at Fisherman's club house so I wouldn't be surprised if they were the same owners! Service was speedy to order but once the food arrived, we had trouble flagging down a server to ask for extra drinks, napkins, rice etc. they tend to disappear once all the food is delivered and the people serving you the food does not speak English. Onto the food, the lobster was cooked perfectly, the right amount of salt and garlic! I would highly recommend the HK style over other choices. We had a smaller lobster sautéed with Ginger and green onion(normally my favourite) but we all found it lacked flavour and needed a tad more salt. The salted egg yolk crab was nice, similar to other restaurant, nothing special. The steak was a pleasant addition! Tender buttery and a nice size to share with table. As for the included dessert, be prepared to be disappointed with Jello haha, for the price we paid, I was hoping for Sago or pudding. I think others mentioned it, the tea cups are oddly tiny but cute and you need to fill them up a lot. read more

Jumbo Lobster is one of those restaurants that you bring visitors from our of town if you want to impress them. It's a good thing that the food here is tasty and delicious. They make choosing what to order easy for you; simply choose which seafood you want to focus on, and how large your dining party is, and choose your set menu based on this. We come here for the lobster, usually done in HK style, and it always hits. They chop the lobster in such a way that most pieces are easy to access the meat inside. The lobster is juicy and succulent, with a tinge of sweetness from the lobster meat and spice from the spices used in HK style. The fries that also accompany the lobster also absorb the flavour and are a delight to eat. Our set menu also came with the silkie chicken soup. Although there is meat and other components in the soup, I primarily just drink the broth which is full of flavour and supposed nutrition and health benefits. The aged steak was also quite tasty, turn the meat over onto the heated plate if you want it to be more thoroughly cooked. We loved the notes of rosemary and garlic. The steamed fish was also nice, though I didn't eat much of it. I would rather fill my stomach with more lobster. However, if you want a dish with a more neutral taste, this one is for you. Our veggies were snow pea tips. I only wished they were cooked with more garlic. Dessert here is also included with the meal, though nothing really to go out of your way to eat. The night we ate there, it was pieces of jelly with what was I think basil seed. Just a hint of sweetness to neutralize the flavours and freshen the breath. Make sure you make your reservations in advance to eat here. read more

Jumbo Lobster Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

My cousins and their parents love Jumbo Lobster Restaurant -- so much so that this was their third visit during our annual Markham trip. They often talk about their first time dining here as a "life changing experience", which set expectations high. We called about a week in advance to make a reservation for a party of 9 for 12/30. The interior is massive, with seating for over 800 guests. Designed like an upscale banquet hall, the walls are lined with wine displays, dry-aged steaks, and live seafood tanks. Elegant decor and polished finishes are balanced by numerous hanging lights that brighten the otherwise dark color palette. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant was incredibly busy and fully booked, with several walk-in parties waiting in the lobby without reservations. Despite the crowds, the staff moves fast and our orders were taken shortly after we sat down. Between 8 adults (+1 toddler), we decided to share the combo: 魚蝦蟹扒餐 6-7位 (FISH, CRAB, LOBSTER & STEAK DINNER FOR 6-7), listed at $428. This price is a rough estimate, as the final cost varies depending on the actual weight of the lobster and crab. The combo included the following dishes: 例汤 (SOUP OF THE DAY) Tonight's soup was an herbal chicken broth with a clean, comforting profile. The light herbal notes and subtle hints of dried tangerine peel were well balanced. Overall, I found it soothing enough to go back for seconds, though my cousins mentioned it didn't give them the same "wow!" factor like previous visits. 避風塘龍蝦 (3 磅) (LOBSTER IN HONG KONG STYLE 3 LB) The dish arrived as an impressive deep-fried lobster tower piled high with fries. While the shell was crispy, the lobster meat inside remained soft, tender, and juicy. The fries were well-seasoned and addictive, but not binge-worthy. Everything was flavorful, though after a couple of lobster pieces and a handful of fries, I had to retire from eating this dish. 上湯焗龍蝦 (3 磅) (BAKED LOBSTER W/ SUPREME SOUP 3 LB) Despite the name, this didn't seem baked. We assumed it was stir-fried with snow pea tips and longevity noodles in a light Cantonese-style sauce. This was definitely our favorite dish of the night thanks to its lighter feel and subtle wok hay flavor, especially compared to the fried options. The lobster was fresh and juicy, but the wok hay was weaker than expected for a restaurant of this caliber, and the pea shoots tasted slightly past their prime. The longevity noodles were savory and chewy which we loved eating. 熟成20日以上AAA肉眼扒 (16安士) (DRY-AGED OVER 20 DAYS AAA CANADA RIBEYE STEAK 16 OZ) My uncle declared this the best steak he's ever had. Prepared in a Western style, the ribeye was grilled and seared, served with fresh thyme and plenty of garlic cloves on the side. Unfortunately, the steak itself was surprisingly bland and quite tough to chew. We were all disappointed, and my cousins mentioned it tasted noticeably better on previous visits. 金沙焗溫哥華蟹(2.25磅) (DEEP FRIED CRAB W/ SALTED EGG YOLK 2.25 LB) This dish uses Vancouver crab rather than King crab, which noticeably impacts the quality. While the salted egg yolk coating was enjoyable, the crab itself was difficult to eat, with very little meat. What little meat I managed to extract was bland and unremarkable, and I didn't even finish the piece I took. This was definitely our least favorite dish this evening. 清蒸青班 (1.5磅) (STEAMED SEA BASS 1.5 LB) Although the menu listed this dish as steamed, my uncle ordered it deep-fried. At this point, it felt like far too many fried dishes for one meal. The oily batter was bursting with flavor, but the sea bass itself was overcooked, resulting in dry, unappealing meat. Sea bass is naturally delicate and buttery soft when prepared well, so this poor execution was especially disappointing. My cousins and I agreed the steamed version would likely have been more enjoyable. 皇子菇扒豆苗 (SNOW PEA TIPS W/ KING MUSHROOM) Unfortunately, the snow pea tips again lacked freshness and had very little wok hay. Another underwhelming dish. 甜品 (DESSERT) The dessert platter included mango-and-coconut jelly along with red bean-coconut jelly. I'm not a big red bean fan, so I stuck with the mango version. Light, bouncy, and not overly sweet, it was a pleasant way to end the meal. Overall, the food was a bit hit-or-miss, and I'd rate our experience a 7/10. However, the restaurant was packed, and the staff was clearly working nonstop. We suspect the quality of both food and service wasn't at its usual standard given the New Year's rush. While we still think highly of the restaurant, we'll likely avoid visiting during peak holiday periods in the future. read more

I need more fries! I need a standalone side order of these incredibly garlicky fries that sit under the famous Lobster tower. Don't get me wrong, the Fried Lobster will always be a main attraction, but the fries hold their own as well. I scoop the seasoning up and top my rice with this like furikake. Speaking of which, I'll never tired of this succulent garlicky Fried Lobster. I'd spend every celebration meal here if I could. Every dish I had was great, steamed whole fish, wok sautéed lobster, garlicky snow pea leaves, even the soup was great. Another standout was the dry aged steak, wow that was tender. I've never had a better dry aged steak at a Chinese seafood restaurant. In fact I don't think I've ever had dry aged steak at a Chinese restaurant. Jumbo really does have something for everyone's taste. If I lived closer to Jumbo, I'd visit weekly. Discounts for seniors and weekday discounts were the reason it was completely packed on a Thursday evening. The waitress even cracked a joke that I only brought my mom to dinner to get a discount to which I said, my uncle is also a senior and I'd sell his presence to any other table that needed a discount which garner a hearty chuckle. Seriously there were old timers in wheel chairs! The tea kettle and the wait for a table are the only issues I had. The tea kettle basically is a double serving kettle. If there are three in your party and you've only got one kettle, the third person will need to wait for the hot water to pass through. I've got no patience for that at dinner when I've got to fight my dining companions for lobster. LOL. The wait for a table reminds me of the old days when you needed sharp elbows to "swim" your way to the front. Even with a reservation, it took another 30 minutes for a table. That's really annoying. But I guess great food always has a wait. The service was satisfactory, and restrooms were clean. read more

This is my go to meal spot for out of town guests or for celebrations. It makes a memorable meal as we start the meal by posing with the raw lobster which will soon be in our tummies. This was our last meal in 2025 on Dec 31 and it was a delicious one to finish the year with. The ambience is posh and upscale, with 4 people we sat at the semicircular booth seats which made it feel like a semi private area. The dining room is huge with capacity up to 800 people and surrounded by fresh seafood water tanks. The four of us chose the 4-5 person Lobster and Double ribeye meal set which included a soup, veggies, 5lb lobster, 32oz 2 pieces of ribeye steak, grilled spare ribs with garlic, dessert and a bottle of red wine which we swapped for Sweet and sour pork instead. The place was packed on Dec 31 but we were able to get a table in just 15 minutes with a 90 minutes dining limit. The food came pretty quickly and although we were impressed with the mountain of lobster for its gigantic size but the star of the night was the rib eye steak, cooked to a nice medium rare and headed with two candles under the plate. If you like your steak on the rare side, be sure to take the pieces right away or they will become too well done as it's heated. The sweet and sour pork was on the gingery side which was a bit too strong for me. The veggies was delicious and the spare ribs were perfect for the next day leftovers with rice. The dessert was a gelatinous pink snack which we couldn't figure out the flavour of. All in all, it was a solid meal, with great service and ambiance. We always go home full and with leftovers for next day's lunch. read more

The new ambience of Jumbo Lobster is lovely - I'm a fan of the darker vibes (which feel more elevated). We came for lunch during the holidays and ordered the lobster combo with 6 dim sum dishes. We asked for a 3lb lobster, and per usual, they claimed they were out of that weight :) All the dim sum dishes felt a bit fancier than your typical Chinese restaurant, but flavours are what you would expect. The meal was pretty good value for what we got, and definitely more than enough food for our party of 5. read more

Save your money and go to one of the other seafood restaurants nearby. You'll pay about the same price but get much better food and flavor elsewhere. Unfortunately, this place just wasn't worth the money, and the dishes were disappointing compared to other restaurants in the area. read more

The restaurant inside is quite elegant and sophisticated. You can see the many fridges of dry aged meat and many racks of red wine. Also the display glasses for the lobsters and crabs make the restaurant quite interesting and unique too. The food is definitely indulgent. Everything packs a great punch of flavor and there were many leftovers to be brought home despite everyone leaving the dinner table with full bellies. Lobster and seafood are definitely the star of the show here at Jumbo Lobster but the steak was cooked to perfection and had robust flavor as well. The soup that night was delicious and rotates every once in a while so there's variety. Service was quick and also the staff came by to check in and change plates frequently. read more

Came here with my parents for our occasional lobster feast. I know the Toronto favourite seems to be the Fishman Clubhouse, but I honestly think this restaurant might just take my new top spot! Tea is $2.75 per person, but it was very good tea. You brew it yourself in a separate pot, then pour it into another glass container which is kept warm on a burner-like contraption. I was also charmed by how pretty and delicate the utensils were - right down to the tiny teacup because the "correct" way of drinking tea is apparently in small sips. The main feature was of course the famous lobster mountain. Piled in a heap and generously loaded with fries and crispy bits, it was quite a spectacular sight. We snapped on our gloves and dug in immediately. Delicious! The lobster was fried flawlessly, not overly oily but still maintaining that familiar flavour we all love. The quality of the lobster flesh does tend to vary a little depending on the day (and possibly season) though - sometimes it is buttery and tender, and other times you may find the shell to flesh ratio a bit higher than you like. The other dishes which came with the lobster combo were outstanding too - I particularly enjoyed the snow pea leaves, which somehow tasted both healthy and flavourful. Also, an order of har gow here comes with 6 (six!) pieces instead of the traditional 4!! Despite the place being extremely busy during weekend lunchtime (making parking quite difficult), the service was actually remarkably high quality. The hot water for the tea was constantly being refilled, and our requests for additional napkins or utensils were fulfilled promptly. In addition, when we noted that we were not fond of a chicken congee we had, the manager came out himself to offer us a complimentary dish for our next visit. I think the meal generally costs the 3 of us about $200, with plenty of lobster left over. Not cheap by any means, but the experience is certainly worth it every once in a while. Reservations are recommended as they always have a HUGE line whenever we go! read more

We had an excellent waiter, the food was very good, and the restaurant itself was beautiful. Unfortunately, our entire evening was ruined by the manager at the front. When we arrived, he insisted that we did not have a reservation even after we showed our confirmation, and, instead of apologizing for what appeared to be the restaurant's booking system error, he tried to lecture us about how certain reservation websites do not allow large-group bookings. Rather than taking responsibility or working professionally toward a solution, his attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely inappropriate. Fortunately, the lady working with him was kind, professional, and genuinely tried to explain the situation and find a way to accommodate us. She deserves recognition for her efforts. Our group was in town for an eight-day conference with more than 3,000 attendees. Because of this experience, this restaurant has unfortunately been added to the "not recommended" list for this annual event. When restaurants host business travelers, the way guests are treated matters just as much as the quality of the food. Unprofessional treatment of customers and business partners can damage relationships and cost businesses significant opportunities. To anyone considering this restaurant: the food is excellent, but if you're planning an important business dinner or any special occasion, be aware that the wrong interaction at the front desk could ruin your evening. Great food alone cannot make up for poor management and unprofessional customer service. read more

This restaurant was over the top for me. The lineup to get in here was crazy. I didn't realize how popular this place was until coming here. The jumbo lobster was quite good. Lots of meaty pieces also. We steak was favored well but there were some chewy pieces which was disappointing. We definitely ate well and there was an amount of food. Unfortunately, their wait staff is very short staffed so we had to ask for things like missing cultery or drinks several times, even having to get up and flag the waiter which is not cool for a high end meal. The food was good though. read more

Came here for lunch recently and have been here a few times for lunch and dinner. My family kike to come here forbirthday celebrations or when we havevisitor from out of town.It is not my norm to have lobster for lunch. I brought my sister-in-law herebecause she wanted to try a fancy Chinese restaurant and I told herthat Jumbo Lobster has a nicefancy lunch set menu that includes lobster and dim sum. I accompanied her as the menu is a bit complicated and it's a goodexcuse for me to make a visit and I really like iketheir dim sum. Theirdim sum is really top notched. you'llstill likely order theirlobster lunch menu because that is what they are famous forwhich has set meals ranging from$108-$200. It's good to come with a group of 6 to8 friendsas theirset meals are catered mostly for about thatnumber of people.This is a smartbusinessconcept as you'll end up spending a bit more. I see these lobster lunch meal sets arenow offered atmany dim sum restaurants these days as customers seem to like having these extravagant lobster kunches. I think you can choose toorder justdim sum but I'm not sure if they have that option at this restaurant . SMy family did order just dim sumonce at their oldlocation on Wooodbine and at thattimetherestaurant didallow us to choose that option a few years agobut not sure if they will offer this optionat thisnew location.we felt a little uncomfortable with just our one table that had no lobster. If you're just looking for dim sum, then I recommend you go somewhere else as there are lots of gooddim sum places in Toronto. I just went to Joyous in North York and they have really good dim sum. they have a Markham location awell called Orient Bistro. Irecommend both restaurants for dim sum. I haven't had a chance to write a review for Joyous but it is my new go to dim sum restaurant as both food and service were superb!Although the dimsum is excellent at Jumbo,I wouldn't come herefor justdim sum because there are plenty of places in Toronto with tasty dim sum. The lobster lunch sets are reasonably priced so as long as you like lobster, it's worth a try! Their L1 lobster lunch combo is$108 is a good price as the mealincludes lobster, snow pea tips veggie dish, and 4 dim sum dishes of your choice and lobster E-fu noodles. This would be a good lunch set to select if you just want to give this restaurant a try but don't want to spend too much and you don't care for the lobster but more for the experience. There is one calculation on the lobster lunch set meals that I'll try toexplain cause it might be confusing if you haven't been to these lobster restaurant before . Your final bill may end upbeing higher than the quuoted price on the menu if the restaurant pickeda bigger lobster than the stated minimum lbs on your selected set meal. They will bring out your olivelobster and essentially you are agreeing to that lobster. I hope you'll enjoy your visit. For example,ifyour lobster lobstreweighs 6 lbs andyou selectedthe L1 lunchcombo rule is lfor every lb over 2,.5lbs is $30)so if yourlobster is 6 lbs, then extra costs will be $105(see calc below)on the 3.5 lbs (ie6-2.5 min lbs)in excess of 2.5lbs extraprice$105=x$30*3.5lbs). In other words, if the lobster was less than 2.5lbs than no price adjustment to the meal costs. I hope that makessense? Ifyour meal setsetisL1 combo is on the the menu for $108 but the lobster the restaurant picked a 6lbs lobsterwhich is more than2.5lbs(stated minimum lbs)so the new price for L1 combo isnow$213 ($108+ $120extra)=$105(calc sexplained earlier). It's a lot of math to order lunch! Be sure you ask clearly on how muchyour meal will cost asfter they show you your lobster. Sorry my explanation may not be thatclear.The staff werereally friendly and friendly so I think is fine if it's your first visit, hopefully they will help exmexplain to you. I just don't want you to feel like you are being cheated. I hate that feeling which is why I wanted to attempt explainingthe rules but please do double checkon yourfinalpricingbefore ordering cause I might not have explained it correctly or lthe rules might have change lon your visit.Overall, it's a beauful place and thefood is delicious.One last tip, 5% off for cash payment. read more

Having been to both the old and the new location, I can definitely say I prefer this one better. It's definitely much larger so the tables are spaced more comfortably apart in comparison to the old location. I also really like the atmosphere and the decor. While the parking lot is big, it can be hard to find spots in the AM if you're going for dimsum. I have tried both dimsum and dinner here and it's not bad. I think the dimsum dishes are quite standard in terms of taste. Portion wise - everything seems to be slightly smaller than your average dimsum place (such as the buns and the rice wrapped in lotus leaf). PS - the restaurant is just as dim during dimsum. For some reason, I thought it would be brighter in the morning lol. For dinner, we usually get one of the set combos. At first, they had a promotion where you also receive a free steak with it. The last time, the price for the combo went up but the steak was "included" - not sure if that has changed again. We were going to order more food on top of the combo but the staff advised that it may too much. I'm glad they let us know instead of just placing the order because we ended up with a lot of leftovers with just the combo. As someone who doesn't love seafood, my favourite was the soup and the steak. The fries that came with the crab were soggy but still very addictive! read more

I've been to Jumbo Lobster Restaurant multiple times for both lunch and dinner, and lunch always stands out as a 5-star experience. Whether you're a seafood lover or not, there's something here for everyone--from fresh lobster to aged ribeye. The set lunch menu is a fantastic deal: starting at $108, it easily feeds four adults with generous portions and great quality. I've tried lobster prepared every way--steamed, stir-fried, soup-braised, deep-fried tycoon style--and it's consistently fresh and flavorful. Dim sum isn't their main draw, but I've been pleasantly surprised. The selection is limited, yet well-executed. The interior is spacious and upscale, perfect for hosting out-of-town guests or celebrating with family. Bonus: prices stay the same all week, and there are weekday specials for seniors--great excuse to bring your parents or grandparents along. If you're in the mood for a satisfying group meal with impressive presentation and reliable flavors, Jumbo Lobster is a top pick. Just make sure to come hungry and with a few friends--the more, the merrier! read more

The food was well prepared..service was excellent...the surroundings were very comfortable.

I have never been to such a fancy looking Chinese restaurant before. Service is incredible and they were so attentive. We ordered the combo A (king crab dinner for 3-4 people). Food was delicious and the crab was very fresh. However, I enjoyed the steak more and I liked how they served it with some candles under so if you wanted it less red, you can flip the red parts onto its side and it would cook. Coming from LA area, this meal was very reasonably priced! read more

This place you must experience to understand a Jumbo Lobster Experience. At about 11am, i visited Jumbo Lobster with two colleagues. We ordered a rice dish and a noodle dish with tea: $35.00 for 3, and walked out with enough food for another person. This place is Cheap not expensive! Yes there is a CAD 999.00 item, for 15 people! Food is spectacular! Service is a little slower than expected, but ok. Atmosphere is amazing: Huge, Dark Cavernous room with modern decor, walls lined with aquariums for lobsters and live crabs. Large comfortable seats. I'm telling you, this is a place you'll remember for a lifetime! Highly recommend! read more

My friends from Vancouver were so impressed with Jumbo Lobster the last time they were in town, they made reservations before even arriving in Toronto this time! Of course, I was happy to join them. We had learned from the previous visit that we ordered too much food and had lots of leftovers after stuffing our faces. We ordered less this time around, with seafood being the main feature. Our meal started with a yummy soup of the day, made with chicken. Snow Peas Tips with Mushrooms, Dungeness Crab with Salted Egg Yolk, and a very tender Ribeye Steak on a hot plate appeared next. Lobster, the main feature, appeared next. Our set meal included two, with one stir-fried and the other deep fried with crispy garlic flakes and fries. That was followed by a Steamed Bass with green onions, and finally, a light jelly type of dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious and we still had leftovers. The service was excellent, with attentive staff deboning and serving our fish, changing out our dirty plates, and more. If you like seafood, Asian flavours, and fine dining, you need to experience this place at least once! read more

Went when they were doing a big grand opening special a while back. Got the Lobster HK Style Dinner for (2-3) which included a 4lb lobster, sweet and sour pork, steamed bass, poached snow pea tips and dessert. We also got their promotion steak and a roasted pig on the side. Obviously a ton of food and the highlights definitely were the lobster and roasted pig in terms of taste but I found the lobster and steak to be incredibly oily. They used a ton of butter which just made it extremely heavy and filling. The sweet and sour pork, bass and snow pea tips were nothing to write home about, just alright. My mom did get an upset stomach after this I think from it being really oily overall. It's an ok place but there's definitely a lot of options in the area for this style of Lobster dinner that will be better than Jumbo Lobster. read more

The lobster here is impressive--big, fresh, and cooked perfectly. I also tried the lobster fried rice, which was rich and flavorful. The steak was cooked just right, tender and juicy. The fish with pea shoots was fine, though not particularly memorable. Service was attentive; the staff were very quick to change plates, which is thoughtful but slightly over the top at times. Overall, a very enjoyable experience with a good balance of flavors and textures. read more

I had an unforgettable dining experience at Jumbo Lobster Restaurant. The ambiance was elegant and inviting, with the stunning aquarium wall showcasing fresh seafood. The food was exceptional, with every dish carefully prepared. I particularly enjoyed the crispy fried shrimp, which was perfectly seasoned and incredibly flavorful. The noodles and the soup were also top-notch. For dessert, we had a deliciously refreshing dessert with fruits and yogurt - a perfect end to a delightful meal! The service was prompt and attentive, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. If you're craving fresh, flavorful seafood in a sophisticated setting, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

The dinner sets here are fairly good value. I tried the lobster, steak, and fish and they were all pretty good! I really liked the way they serve their tea, so that the tea leaves are not steeped for too long, and the warmer keeps the tea from cooling too quickly. They also have a lot of spacious booth seating which is nice and private. It's definitely not an everyday dinner type of place as it is pricey, but solid choice for special occasions or maybe larger groups. read more

We visited recently for dinner and ordered a combo that included a 3 lb lobster, a 1 lb steak, and vegetables. We also added the sweet and sour pork and crab fried rice. Overall, the food was quite good, I especially enjoyed the steak and the fried rice. The steak was cooked prefect (medium rare), the fried rice was had crispy crab bites in it. The sweet and sour pork was flavorful and very crispy, though the portion felt a bit small for the $24 price point. Unfortunately, the service detracted from the overall experience. The staff came across as dismissive, and we frequently had to ask for basic items like water refills, utensils, getting their attention so we could order, etc. After we paid, we asked a question, but the staff simply walked away, it was unclear whether they didn't hear us or chose not to respond. Interestingly, the tables around us seemed to receive much more attentive service. It left us wondering whether it was due to our order being being the cheapest combo on the menu (it was still over $200 though). They automatically charge a 12% gratuity to the bill which is fine but if you're going to do that then I believe you should have better service. The interior was very nice and dim, they also have 2nd floor seating. I really wished their service was better because I quite enjoyed the food. Given that this is positioned as a more upscale and relatively pricey restaurant, we expected a higher standard of service. read more

Don't let the name fool you; don't just order lobster! Make sure you get the ribeye too! This Chinese version of surf and turf is amazing! The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was finished perfectly with butter, rosemary and thyme. And the fried lobster mountain with fries and lettuce was so addictive! The one part of the restaurant name that is accurate is Jumbo. The space is jumbo, the mountain is jumbo, the displays of beef, pigs and seafood is jumbo! Perfectly jumbo! We ordered the lobster dinner for 3-4, which was CDN$388 and came with a soup, steak, lobster mountain, snow peas and mushrooms, dessert and a French wine. We substituted fried rice for the wine because we cannot have Asian food without rice. It was the right decision. Some Yelpers complain that the price is high but maybe because I am from NY, I was pleasantly surprised. 2 lbs of aged ribeye at a NY restaurant would probably be US$150-200 and 5 lbs of lobster; fuggedaboudit! So this is a bargain for us NYers! Almost everything was great so why only 4 stars (would actually like to give 4.5 stars)? As others have mentioned, service is a bit slow. You have to aggressively flag down people to get service; otherwise you will be ignored. We now know better so will be even more aggressive next time. And there will definitely be a next time! read more

Realistically I know a Jumbo Lobster can never exist on Long Island, it requires a huge space in a frequented location. We happened upon this restaurant because the sister restaurant is closed for renovations. I imagine the other is a 5 star experience also but as I do not have a reference point, this was absolutely the best meal we had while on our second foodie trip to Toronto. Let me start with the magnificence of the building from outside. It stretches wide and high. I thought it strange that the restaurant looked to be 2-3 stories high. Upon walking in, the ceilings were high and the walls were filled with tanks of lobsters and crabs, racks of dry aged beef and whole suckling pigs, and rows of different high quality wines. The ambiance was impressive with each table round to be able to accommodate small and large groups of conversation, black ceilings and walls, and lighting to highlight the tables. Although there were many tables, all filled, we never felt crowded or forgotten by the waitstaff. They were efficient, attentive but not overbearing. Now to our meal, we were a party of 4 so we ordered #5 Lobster and Double Ribeye Steak Dinner for 3-4 people. Since I was the only wine drinker of the group we asked to replace the wine and they provided shrimp fried rice. After our order, they rolled out a container with our 5+ pound lobster for us to "approve". Dinner was a clear soup, perfect medium rare dry aged ribeye, snow pea tips with king mushrooms, shrimp fried rice and a tower of lobster and French fries. The lobster was separated into pieces and fried in a batter with the shell. This was by far my favorite meal amongst all of the different restaurants we tried during our 2 recent trips to Toronto. The ambiance, the service, the presentation and the taste of the dishes were all 5 star. Definitely a place you want to visit for a special occasion. We went on an early Wednesday evening and the place was packed! Lol, I am coveting the chopstick holder, it is wide enough to hold chopsticks, spoon, fork and knife! read more

This place looks SOOOO fancy (I said this about their old location on woodbine but damn....) Taking over Premier Ballroom Convention Center, the inside of the resto looks like a palace dining hall now. You've got walls lined w/ vintage wines and dry aging fridges containing slabs of beef. Dinner fare is much like it was before at the original location but they've got steak as a cool new addition to some of the set combo meals now. We weren't asked how we wanted the steak in our combo set to be cooked, but it arrived medium rare so that was great. Out of curiosity, we asked the waiter how much the steak would cost if we ordered it a la carte and not as part of the set. He told us ~ $100. Holy helllll. That's even more expensive than my go-to 24 oz bone-in ribeye at Peter's in markham. HELL TO THE NO would I ever order this a la carte LOL. Finally got to try suckling pig as I had wanted to try it at their original location but missed out. Very crispy and the meat was tender. Can't get suckling pig at the sister resto, Fishman so it's unique to Jumbo. The jellos are still being served for dessert at dinner. The most underwhelming, bland letdown those things are. Such a shame they won't bring back the premium dessert soups. read more
