Dim Sum at Lobster Port is one of the best in the area. Lobster Port is slightly more expensive but it makes up in portion size. Their per plate cost is higher than some other Dim Sum restaurants, but each item's size makes it almost twice the amount of food. We were here as a party of three to enjoy their brunch. Their menu is very clear and self-explanatory, the plate size is priced and any special dishes have their offer right next to the item. Once you've filled it out, a staff member will review and enter the order and return your order form with a copy of the kitchen's order. As your items arrive, the server will check it off the list. Double check your list and/or call someone over if anything is taking too long. Everything we ordered seemed to have been freshly made to order so the first few dishes does take a bit of time, about 5-10 mins before the whole order was completed in about 30 mins. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere at Lobster Port is very bright and open, they have a decently high ceiling and good spacing between tables and have separate private dining rooms for private events/parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service and plating is very professional and upscale as well. The tea service comes in three pots, the hot water pot to refill the brewing pot, which you use to refill the serving pot, which itself is on a tea light to keep it warm. The tea is strong and refills are free as expected at a Chinese restaurant. They have a cash discount on the menu if you eat in early on M-F excluding holidays. Due to the portion size, start you order with around 2-3 dishes per person before adding on. We took some home as leftovers at 9 total dishes. We ordered... - the deep fried taro pork dumpling: the taro is very fresh and not oily - the steamed signature bbq pork rice noodle roll: the filling is very well balanced and fully stuffs the rice noodles and sticks very well to it, it is the best dish by far of all the Dim Sum I've tried - the lotus leaf sticky rice was very fragrant and stuffed with fillings - the pan fried turnip cake was super soft and fluffy - the siu mai was so large it looks like two in one - the har gow was massive and filled to the brim - the steamed spare ribs with taro: was pretty mid, it's good but nothing special - the crispy crusted baked sago pudding: was interesting, eat it right when it comes out to be fresh and hot, but can definitely pass on this, its basically like a hot rice pudding Overall, the food was very balanced, clean tasting, not oily, and under seasoned (in a good way). Their soy sauce is very light and fragrant and goes with everything well. Will definitely be coming back to try the buns and other steams items. read more

Hubby and I went for dim sum one weekday on our recent visit in Toronto.

I'm long due to write a review about Lobster Port. This is a new gem I've found for dim sum. I came here with families and friends several times for dim sum. They offer great quality and variety here with great value for money (less than $30 per person). I haven't found any single dim sum dishes that I didn't like at Lobster Port so far. It's always a long lineup during weekends although they have lots of seatings. Recently, I tried their Chinese New Year dinner here. You have to make reservations well in advance to secure a spot and there's a 2-hour time limit for dine-in. The overall experience was still impressive even on this busiest day of the year for the restaurant. We ordered the combo c at $318, a combo with a good balance of nutrition and varieties (seafood, meat, veggie, soup, desserts). Everything was delicious except that the suckling pig was too dry. The soy sauce chicken tasted very tender and flavourful. Pork tongue soup was very flavourful too. Lobsters and live water fish were both super fresh and cooked perfectly. Veggie was also not overcooked. For desserts, we had quite some varieties too (mango pudding, Chinese cookie and sweet dumpling soup with dates and white fungus). I strongly recommend this restaurant to any of you who loves Cantonese food. read more

A Chinese restaurant that serves dim sum lunch and Chinese family style dinner dishes. The food here is good and server was great. Here's what we got: Peking duck 5/5 - Delicious, fresh crispy duck skin with wrappers and accompaniments. Fish maw soup 5/5 - Came in a large dish prior to being split into individual bowls. Delicious, lots of fish maw and made perfectly into a thick soup. Lobster 5/5 - Cooked perfectly in any style you want - maggie, onion and garlic, steamed, etc. Sea cucumber & mushrooms 4/5 - Good but not one of my favourite dishes. Deep fried beef cubes 4/5 - At first glance the beef was raw (based on photo), but realized since it's beef, the texture was great and cooked perfectly with just a bite. Overall, a great dinner spot for Chinese family style food. read more

Visited here for dim sum for their promo for early bird special. Mon-Fri before 11am, all small, medium and large dim sum items for $5.80, cash payment only, exclude weekend and holidays. Special discount must checked out before 12:30pm. Ordered their beef satay stir fried rice noodles and the rice noodles was chewy. Great texture and delicious satay sauce. NOTE: They now opted the menu to chicken instead of beef. This dish is only $17 during lunch specials. Shrimp rice rolls was fresh and good rice roll mixture mix to create smooth rice rolls. Has baby chives inside. Spring rolls are freshly deep fried served hot to your table and very crispy. Even the outer nest shell was very cripsy. Deep fried honey lemon beef short ribs was yummy. Great beef flavour with a hint of sweetness marinate. Curry octopus was flavourful and the curry sauce was tasty. I would use it to dip it in my siu mai for added flavour lol. Steamed pork dumpling (siu mai) was juicy and yummy filled with shrimps inside. Good portion size. Chicken feet in chu hou sauce was slightly spicy and the chicken feet was solf and flavourful. It has black beans and red peppers mixed into the marinate sauce. Deep fried octopus tentacles was tender and cripsy. This place is known to serve delicious dim sums and I've tried their lobster efu noodles and other fried noodles dishes are excellent too. read more

Another excellent Chinese restaurant worth visiting. Went here for dinner with family and everything we ordered was delicious. We had a 6 lb lobster served two ways -- spicy, and fried with garlic and ginger, along with peking duck, hot and sour soup, steamed bass, and cantonese chow mein. The meal ended with complimentary osmanthus jelly and cookies, which was a nice touch. The service was fantastic; our waitress was very attentive and made great recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was packed, but we were lucky to get a private room, which made the dining experience even better.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The Peking duck and lobster menu ($528) easily feeds ten and begins with one of our favourite dishes, a Peking duck. It's carefully sliced table side and presented with a host of garnishes: traditional hoisin, cucumber, and green onion, but also cantaloupe and plum sauce as well. The duck was lean but tender and the skin crispy without being too fatty. Their wraps are on the smaller site - so it's difficult to put more than a slice of duck if you're a fan of garnishes - but they did provide ~16 wrappers, so it was enough for most people to get a second. Restaurants tend to offer either lettuce wraps or chopped up duck for the second course of the Peking duck. At Lobster Port, they switch it up by cutting the carcass into bite sized pieces and stir frying them to create a sautéed duck with scallion in soy sauce. It radiates wok hay, and the sweet soy makes the bony duck so tasty that we finished the dish. During busy weekend visits, you may have to serve the fresh crab meat and fish maw thick soup yourself, as was the case with our table. In this instance, I would have preferred the soup in a deep bowl as the large shallow dish makes spooning difficult. Nonetheless, the soup was good, a nice consistency with tons of seafood scattered throughout and enough flavour. Of course, most patrons visit Lobster Port for lobster and the stir-fried lobster with Maggi sauce didn't disappoint, all six pounds of it. Rather than providing one large lobster, the dish was made from three smaller ones. Personally, I don't mind this combination as I find the shell isn't as thick and the meat more succulent. Plus, there are more claw and tail pieces to go around. This is a long review, for the rest go to Gastro World. read more

First time coming to this restaurant after it changed name. It seems like everyone walking through the door on that Sunday had a reservation, so I would recommend making one too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior and utensils of the restaurant had a modern up-scale vibe, unlike its predecessor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got the 3-4 people set which included XX lbs lobster with e-fu noodles, chicken congee and 4 dim sum of our choice. We got siu mai, har gow, shrimp rice roll and grilled octopus. It was definitely a lot of food for 4 hungry adults and therefore this meal will be good for up to 5 people as well. This set includes a 2.5lbs lobster, which I think is a great size for lunch. The staff brought us the live lobster to take a look, and informed us it was slight over 2.5lbs and therefore had to pay a bit extra based on the overweight amount. I really appreciated that they try to get it as close to 2.5 lbs as possible instead of overselling us. Overall the food quality was great - everything was served hot. The lobster tasted fresh with minimal "muddy" flavour. The congee had the right balance of flavour - not too bland or overly salty. The most surprising fact is that the shrimp siu mai came in the typically size you get in HK (e.g. about 3/4 of the size of what you get in typical Toronto restaurants). And to compensate for the size reduction when compared to other Toronto restaurants, the steamer contains 5 siu mai instead of 4. We definitely had a great experience and would come here again for more up-scale dim sum. read more

Came here for a Chinese New Year sponsored lunch. Food is not bad! The crispy roast port was done well! They served and switched each plate for EACH DISH that came out.

Visited Lobster Port twice recently, once for a wedding banquet, and once for regular dim sum. Both visits were exceptional. Service was fantastic on both visits. Dim sum day is typical, they don't really bother you/check up on you unless you flag them down. But, our server from the wedding banquet remembered us and came to say hi, also gave us their loyalty perks ("free tea" and a small %discount), which was super sweet. Food was exceptional for the wedding banquet! They were on the good side for their regular dim sum food compared to other places I used to frequent (most other places have gone down in quality post-covid.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant hall is mid size but in our current economy post covid, I think it's a good size.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a few small private rooms by the entrance, these were used as a dedicated photo area and children's room for the wedding banquet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Photos are from wedding banquet only. read more

In Markham, you can get by speaking only Chinese, and here's another stellar example to prove it. This new spot just opened on Canada Day 2024. The name? Sounds just like any other Chinese seafood restaurant, but once you're there, who really cares about the name, right? LOL. We waited about 40 minutes for a table, which taught us the hard way that we should've called and made a reservation a day earlier. Next time, we'll be smarter. We went for dim sum, and I have to say, it was pretty darn good. The service was efficient, and the place is brand spanking new, clean, and bright. The owner also runs Moon Palace in downtown TO, so they know a thing or two about running a restaurant. The day we visited, the place was packed. They have many large tables for big groups, but not too many small tables for parties of less than four. So, beware if you're planning a more intimate meal - you might feel like you've crashed a family reunion. Overall, the dim sum was delish, and the service was solid. We'll definitely be back for dinner. Just remember to make that reservation! read more

Guess what, another new dimsum place in Markham, they took over the old Jumbo Lobster location awhile back. Can never go wrong with another dimsum place in Markham. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Big spacious place with a large patio area for those who prefer their chicken feet al fresco.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I normally order traditional dimsum dishes like chicken feet, beef balls, shrimp rice rolls, pork/oyster congee, etc. All dishes arrived hot, fresh and delicious. Ordered 3 fusion dimsum dishes, truffle minced shrimp pork dumplings, foie gras seafood dumplings and beef tenderloin cheese flaky pastries. Didn't like the texture, didn't like the flavor profile. Hard pass [[HIGHLIGHT]]Call me old fashion but I'll stick with the more traditional dishes. Nothing beats the dimsum dining experience, the variety of dishes offered, loud Cantonese background chittering, no tipping pressure and multi-generational families enjoying a meal together.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Skip your unhealthy fast food breakfasts and go experience the magical world of the almighty dimsum, amen read more

Came here around 10:30am and there was already a long line up! Special $5.50 dim sum price before 11am. This is their new location (where Jumbo Lobster used to be) and I think they're still renovating because half the restaurant was closed off. We ordered as soon as we sat down (the waitress was hilarious and asked us to ignore her and just order ASAP lol). We got over 10 dim sums and they all came quick. All hot dishes were steaming hot and my fav was the "koon tong gao". It was packed with ingredients and so worth it! Only $5.50!! The funniest was the yuzu "rabbit" mousse that came in the shape of a piggy. So cute! Super friendly staff, will definitely come back! read more

It's been a while since I've been for dim sum and it was my first time coming to Lobster Port in Thornhill. This place is huge! It was/is a banquet hall (Le Parc).

The flavours were also very good. I would definitely come back to try more dishes! read more

The best dim sum place for me so far - I have tried many reputable places in the past few years, but Lobster Port is outstanding, by far best - in terms of the quality of seafood, skills in cooking seafood, focus on textures, presentation, variety, and price point. That's all I am looking for in dim sum. Spacious with elegant décor. Clean and quick service. Impressive. We ordered: #2. HarGow #5. Steamed Shrimp & Chives Dumplings With Spicy Sauce #11. Steamed Wild Mushroom & Vegetable #14. Steamed BBQ Pork Bun With Abalone Sauce #22. Deep Fried Beef Ribs With Honey & Lemon Sauce #23. Deep Fried Squid Tentacles #24. Pan-Fried Shrimp, Pork, Mushroom & Vegetable Dumplings #31. Deep Fried Taro Dumplings With Chicken & Vegetable #34. Steamed Shrimp and Yellow Chives Wrapped in Rice Noodle #69. Fried Ginger Rice W/ Crab Meat, Scallop & Egg White Fresh Crab Meat And Fish Maw Soup (From Ala carte menu) Shrimps in the food were all LARGE and super plumpy & juicy. Recommend to order their rice noodle wraps with seafood. The rice noodle was achieving the perfect texture balance. The crispy & plumpy & juicy shrimps, with soft yet slightly chewy noodles. The steamed dumplings (#2 &5)'s wrappers were not too thick, not too thin, just "right". No fragility, sealing the filling and its flavor. Also enjoyed BBQ pork bun #14. holding it felt so light, and biting it was wow - the crunchy top, flaky bottom, and juicy pork fillings - all harmonized in the mouth. Each piece of the deep fried squid tentacles (#23) was thick and juicy. Seasoning was moderate, but I am a squid lover. I loved the tender, yet chewy and juicy texture. I loved this straightforwardness - not covering with over seasonings or thick batter. Enjoyed. Beef rib was tender and flavorful. Our highlight was fried rice #69. I was excited by the simple presentation - feeling the quiet confidence of the cook. It is the best fried rice I ever had. I found a large piece of perfectly cooked, flavorful scallop in every scoop. Generous amount, simple looking but the deep, complex seafood flavor burst in the mouth. I will come back with a larger group - to try more items!!! Thank you!!!! read more

Dim sum was really good and reasonable priced. The dim sum was hot and fresh when it came out. For 13 people, the bill came to be around $200-$250 which isn't too bad and more than enough to share between the 13 of us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not much changed in terms of the interior design however service was pretty good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Went to a wedding banquet at Lobster Port. Great chefs, good food, and nice presentations. Service was also very attentive. Ample parking space. The problem was the lack of air conditioning in summer. It was so hot throughout the entire banquet. Heard that the owner is planning to move somewhere else close to Leslie and Hwy-7. Hopefully, it can provide a better dining experience and go back to a 5-star rating. Regardless of the A/C issue, still recommended because of the excellent food and good service level. read more

A "new" spot in Markham as they have moved locations a few times and now in the old Jumbo Lobster location. I came by for a weekend dinner (make sure you call in advance to secure a reservation). We got one of the combo meals which included lobster, chicken, veggies, beef cubes and a fried rice along with soup and desserts. Pictures will show the story but I thought everything was prepared well and in particular the beef, lobster and soup were standouts. The beef was tender, and the lobster had plenty of meat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The seating is fairly spacious, no discount between cash/credit for the combo meals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have some private rooms for bigger gatherings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only knock was that while spacious, the acoustics or something with the design made it very loud inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Otherwise will definitely be back for dinner (I have already tried their dimsum too, which has all the typical fixings!). read more

Amazing place for dim sum! Their food was great and the price was super reasonable! Most dim sum dishes were under 10$, even the shrimp dumplings!

Lobster Port - Sui ma, turnip cake, shrimp & chive dumplings - Dim Sum Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We had their Lobster Combo D set dinner. The restaurant has the tendency to rush because of the number of dishes on the menu causes the dinner to last a long time. One should start the meal early and continuously remind the server to slow down. We were fortunate that our server, Lily, was exceptional in balancing customers expectations and the pressure from the kitchen to speed up. Food was good in general except for the steamed fish which tasted grassy. We had a good time thanks to Lily. So a big shout out for Lily's exceptional service. She even went through the left over bags and let us know what each of them contain. How amazing! read more

Upscale dim sum restaurant with high quality ingredients, great atmosphere and very spacious with exceptional service. This is one of our go-to dim sum spots.

This restaurant is very popular on Saturday for breakfast/brunch. You can expect to wait 30 min - 1 hour. But the place is really spacious so they can seat a lot of people. Some of the standouts for the dishes were the durian pastry, the shrimp and chive dumpling, and deep fried bean curd with wasabi sauce. Really unique dim sum dishes and so well made. Service is fast for certain dishes. Other ones you may be sitting for 30 min before it comes to your table. There's plenty of parking spaces around the restaurant as well. I would recommend giving this place a try! read more

As my dear friend describe this place, it's a rollercoaster ride. You start off at the bottom with some cold congee, cold (not crispy) squid, cold taro puff, and cold radish cake. Then the food gets better with some steamed dishes that are actually hot - bean curd roll and sticky rice. But the ride falls off once you get to the molten yolk buns. They're oversteamed and the bun has a weird texture. The only two enjoyable experiences at this restaurant are the short wait time and the fragrant tea. Luckily my company made the experience tolerable otherwise I would bolt it out of here. read more

Still as good as before at the new place! I think I went on an off day though as the technique/cooking was rushed for the har gow and chicken feet. Skin was stuck to each other for the har gow and chicken feet I think was fried too long before the braise. Still good going in though, still fresh n delish. Their desserts were the spotlight for us this time. TT_TT firstly, thank you, lo ban, for bringing the bok chaang (pancake with peanuts) on the menu. My Guangdong heart and stomach is healed. So hard to find this dish here. It's similar to the old one at dragon boat fusion with the green tea skin too. Only loss is you took away the dun lai/steamed milk dessert (whoever made that needs to open their shop here because it was unbelievably good and authentic). If you try their egg white egg tart, you get a sense of how well they can make it. read more

Lobster Port - Pan Fried Sweetened Green Tea Pancake with Nuts - Dim Sum Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We had a pre-ordered dinner and though lobster is in the name and it is a seafood restaurant, they serve many other Chinese dishes.   While we were hoping for another big fancy dinner for this outing, this one ended up being on the disappointing side, and also the only disappointing meal of our three day trip. We ordered the following and we definitely did not want lobster as we had just eaten a 6 lb lobster the previous night. - Water duck soup, $88.00 CD - BBQ and roast pork platter, $48.80 CD - Pumpkin chicken (this special dish needs a one day lead time), $48.80 CD - Ginger and tofu oysters, $32.98 CD  - Five flavors half duck, $33.80 CD - Clams with mushrooms, $48.98 CD Complimentary desserts of cookies, gelatin, and a red rice soup also came with the dinner. The presentation of all the dishes was beautiful, particularly the clams and unique pumpkin chicken dishes.  The dish presentations, the bright and airy elegant setting, and the attentive roaming servers who portioned out our dishes for us, were the best aspects of the meal actually.  Scraping off self-serve portions of the warm and delicious chicken flavored pumpkin meat was also interesting and fun. The main ratings knock was on the quality of several dishes.  The oysters were large but quite overcooked and chewy.  The water duck soup broth was absolutely delicious and the meat from the small duck was tender, but a lot of the volume of this pricy dish was plain boiled pork cubes that we discarded.  The BBQ pork in the platter was tough and not the best quality.  A couple of other little knocks for management's attention:   - They actually forgot two dishes we ordered, namely peapod tea leaves and a fried rice dish, but we later canceled them and that was fortunate as we were stuffed anyway. - They had a bunch of robot carts and unused chairs parked at the bathroom entrance and this was unsightly for a higher end restaurant. This was the first higher end restaurant we saw that used robot carts for delivery of some dishes.  But we later encountered another and it's not uncommon up here.  Total pre-tip bill was $346.19 CD or $256.44 USD.  Overall, a disappointing 2.5 star experience rounded up to 3 stars, but still a nice try for the Toronto Asian restaurant scene. read more

Lobster Port re-opened on May 31 at a location previously occupied by Jumbo Lobster who in turn moved into the vacated Premiere Ballroom location. The new Lobster Port is an impressive restaurant and smaller than the prior version. The noise level is loud; but not quite as loud as at the old location. Service was very good The dim sum menu has an early bird special; large, medium & small items at small item price on weekdays before 11:00 am. Most dim sum dishes tastes better now. Har gow now includes an extra unshelled shrimp. Sui mai was delicious. However, the sticky rice chicken in lotus leafs was a bit dry and not very sticky. Overall summary is better than 4 stars, but not quite 5 stars. read more

This is one of my favourite places to get dim sum and also dinner! The dim sum selection is plentiful and most importantly, they take reservations ahead of time. The place is nice and spacious and I never have to wait too long to get a seat when I make a reservation (believe me, some places require a wait even after you've reserved). One of my favourite dishes to get is their lobster E-Fu noodles! I also like to get their green tea buns. For dinner, they have great fancy combo selections as well as dishes you can order individually. Everything is so tasty and good portioned size and come at a reasonable price. It also comes out very quickly. The service is friendly and quick. You can always flag someone down to help. I want to share photos but I eat everything so quickly that it becomes an afterthought! Photos pending!! read more

I came here on Monday around noon for dim sum, and it was a bit busy. I had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. The interior of the restaurant is really nice and fancy. The service wasn't too bad, but the food wasn't really that good. It wasn't awful but very average. Some of the quality of the items could be better. The congee I ordered wasn't hot but warm. We got the lobster efu noodle which was on special for $24. It was decent but not a lot of lobster pieces. Given the other dim sum places we usually go to, I don't think I will be back here again. We were a group of 3 people and our bill came to around $100 after tips and tax. read more

This restaurant just opened during the middle of this week. I love lobster, anything lobster, so when I saw there is lobster har gwa (Steamed fresh lobster dumpling) I had to come. There were chucks of lobster in the Steamed fresh lobster dumpling and beautifully wrapped, almost reminds me of siu loan bao and a small rose. The bonuses on the menu was that I found other lobster items such as the lobster rice roll. Again chucks of lobster with peashoot inside. Not bad at all! In terms of the Deep fried fresh fruit and lobster roll, I didn't like the fruits inside, it makes it very watery and ruins the consistency. I can't really taste the lobster chucks in this one. Service was nice and friendly. Same chef as the Lobster Port 1 on Leslie. The patio was comfortable. I will be back! read more
