    Literally, the best DimSum I've ever had in my life! We ordered 5 dishes and each one was so delicious! They were so flavourful that they can even not eaten with soy sauce. Except the ChongFan, it is the most special; it is served with a bottle of heated soy sauce. I never had chong fan being served like that but I found it makes so much sense to do so. Chong fan will be sticky when its temperature is down and pouring hot soy sauce (not hot sauce, lol) keeps the chong fan hot. The service is also good. Almost all of them can speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin, amazing! It's a big restaurant but it's so full of people. You usually need to wait for 30 minutes to be seated.

    Woke up craving for some dim sum in Toronto and Google brought me here and man, was it good. We've been to quite a few dim sum places in Canada but I must say New Century is on the top of our list now. Service was fast and efficient, food was tasty, plenty of parking and plenty of seating. Reminds me of Hong Kong! Specials were suggested and it was so good. In and out and our bellies are happy!

    New Century Restaurant I attended a group dinner a few weeks ago. Several in our group had commented that we attended a wedding here about 20 years ago. This was my first time back. Food 3.5 Service 4 Ambience 3.75 The restaurant appeared renovated. Decor is attractive. Seating and tables were quite spaciously set out. The food is nicely presented. We ordered the set menu for six and added a couple more dishes. Their menu is quite extensive. Dishes ordered: Seafood and Fish Maw Soup Double Lobster- was really small. Beef tenderloin with potatoes Tofu and shrimp Long green beans Fried fish Half steamed chicken Sweet and Sour Pork E-Fu Noodles Fried rice Important: It was really tricky to find the entrance to the actual restaurant. Several in our group entered through the entrance we each thought would be the restaurant and then we walked through the different paths in the mall to get to the entrance. We needed the help of the security desk in the mall. The mall closes at 9:00pm but one can still exit from the mall after 9pm at one of the entrances to the mall. I hope this is helpful. Outdoor parking is available outside in the plaza parking lot.

    Today, tried a newly renovated place for lunch (dim sum), let me tell you this, it was a real disappointment. When they provided with a table it was right next to an exterior door, with people going in and out. The was a cold draft, we even had to tell the hostess/manager, if they could provide a divider to divert the draft from hitting our table. We ordered 9 dim sum dishes, one be Roasted Pig Mixed Cold Jellyfish, which was $23.80. I had the idea that it would be a fair portion. When it came, I was shocked, it was only 6 pieces of Roasted Pig. When I spoke with the manager about the portion size, he commented "for that price it is fair". There was not apologies and walked away, nor was it written on the menu. If I had known it was only 6 pieces (size of your index and middle finger put together). I would not have ordered it. If you want to have Roasted Pig, you can get better deals else where. Also, ordered Marinated Chicken Feet for $13.98, when it came to table, it was also a disappointment, part of the chicken feet was dark in colour, not even sure if it was even edible or not. Another dim sum dish that I have order was the steamed chicken with fish maw. The chicken was okay, but there was only two small pieces of fish maw, (the size of each piece was 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch). The order 6 dim sum dishes that was order was mediocre, tasted better from other Dim Sum restaurant. When I received the bill for the meal it came out to be $119.50, they even had included the tip. They didn't even give me an option weather a tip was even worthy. I will definitely not be returning to this place. I definitely do not recommend anyone to come to this restaurant. I would consider blacklisting this restaurant. It's simply deceiving customers. 今天去一家新裝修的點心店吃午飯,真是太失望了。他們為我們安排的桌子緊鄰外門,進進出出的人絡繹不絕。冷風直吹,我們甚至得跟領位員/經理說能不能加個隔板擋風。我們點了九道點心,其中一道是烤乳豬配涼拌海蜇,價格是23.8美元。我以為分量應該挺足的。結果端上來的時候,我大吃一驚,烤乳豬隻有六塊!我跟經理說了分量的問題,他居然說「這個價錢算合理」。他既沒有道歉,也沒有在菜單上寫明,就直接走開了。如果我知道只有六塊(大概食指和中指並排那麼大),我肯定不會點這道菜。想吃烤乳豬的話,去別的地方一定能找到更划算的。我還點了13.98美元醃漬的雞爪,端上來後也很失望,雞爪有一部分顏色發黑,我甚至懷疑它能不能吃。我點的另一道點心是魚肚蒸雞,雞肉還可以,但是魚肚只有兩小塊(每塊只有半英寸見方)。我點的這六道點心味道平平,不如其他點心店的好吃。結帳時,帳單竟然高達119.50美元,還包含了小費。他們甚至都沒問我是否該給小費。我絕對不會再來這家店了。我絕對不推薦任何人來這家餐廳。我會考慮把這家餐廳封鎖。他們簡直就是在欺騙顧客。

    New Century is an authentic Chinese restaurant offering dim sum by paper order form. There is usually a line on weekends and you may need to wait 20-40 min for a table depending on your group size. It can be difficult to flag down a server to pay. The servers general speak both Chinese (Cantonese) and English. The food is hot, flavourful, and authentic. My favorite dish is the Cheung-fun (Rice Noodle Roll).

    My friend since high school was in town a few weeks ago. She now lives in Victoria. I hadn't seen her since before the pandemic. We are different. I'm a planner. She and her childhood friend craved dim sum. They let me know the night before that they wanted to hit Markham for dim sum with me. They wanted suggestions on an eatery that had good sim sum. It wasn't exactly a last-minute plan. It was on short notice, as we were meeting on a Thursday. Luckily, I was working from home, so it worked out that I could go for lunch by leaving my home for a change. I recommended New Century Restaurant. I'm not sure why I never reviewed it before. It has never disappointed me, so I was hoping that it would satisfy their dim sum needs. I live ten minutes away by car. I got an update that they were fifteen minutes away. I had forgotten that my fifteen minutes is different than my friend's version. I feel like I was German in a past lifetime and that I'm perhaps too punctual for my own good. My friend and her friend? Not so much! It was busy when I got to New Century Plaza, where this eatery is. I did manage to find an available parking spot. I was happy. I let them know that I'd get a table for us. I entered the mall entrance and walked all the way down to the eatery. There's also a non-mall entrance to this restaurant that I found out about later. I like going to dim sum because I get to practise my Cantonese and dust off the cobwebs. I had a nice woman greet me. I indicated that I'd like a table for three. She led me to a spacious table. She then asked me what tea I'd like. I said jasmine in Cantonese. She nodded and got some. I let my friend know that I got us table A6 closest to the wall before the mall entrance. It was great seeing her and meeting her friend. She was thankful that I had mentioned the table number in a sea of Chinese folks with dark hair like mine! They missed the rolling carts during dim sum. Sadly, this place didn't have any in the afternoon, but they were still okay with it. I suggested that we get six or seven different dim sum items first. If we wanted more, we could add to it. They liked that plan. My friend doesn't do beef. Instead, we ended up looking at a paper menu and selecting what we wanted with a pencil. We got these items: - Har gow - Siu mai - Steamed baby octopus in curry sauce - Steamed sticky rice in a lotus leaf - Shrimp rice rolls - Pork rice rolls - Steamed chicken and chives dumplings Service was decent here. A woman came over to grab our menu and food started to appear at our table. The jasmine tea was excellent. We got hot water fairly often, which was perfect. The food was excellent. It was authentic Cantonese dim sum. The har gow, siu mai, and steamed chicken and chives dumplings were massive, as if they grew up on steroids. They loved them and were so happy. I was happy that they liked my suggestion. Mission accomplished! My friend was so delighted with the dim sum that she took photos to send back to her partner in Victoria. It was cool. The steamed baby octopus in curry sauce is the best that I have had in the greater Toronto area. The octopus was perfectly steamed. The curry sauce was awesome. I'd come back just for this dish alone. They are into rice rolls. I was pleased because I love rice rolls, too. We got the shrimp and pork. The filling was generous in both. It was different that the pork rice rolls seemed to be stacked on the plate. The shrimp ones were presented normally and came with greens, which felt fancy and was different. They were delicious. They do rice rolls well here. We also got steamed sticky rice that was wrapped in a lotus leaf. My friend's childhood friend was wondering about what she was eating. It was yellow. I figured out that it was the yolk of a egg in it. We all loved how perfect this sticky rice was with Chinese sausage, egg, and more. The company was wonderful. I like when you meet someone for the first time and it feels comfortable. It was the case with my friend's friend. My friend surprised me by picking up the tab. She was thrilled that the price was right for the dim sum quality that we had experienced. She let me know that Victoria doesn't have decent dim sum. I'm so glad that she got her fix here. She used her credit card to pay. It was a nice treat. This eatery has washrooms. I didn't use the women's washroom. The other two did and didn't have any issues. There were more available parking spots at 3 pm. If you want to do dim sum then, parking is less stressful. The restaurant is huge. You can easily have your wedding party or a massive bash here. It's funny that we were so stuffed that we couldn't finish the last massive har gow. I asked for a container for it for my friend's friend. It fit perfectly in a tiny clear container. Perfect! I had a great time catching up with my friend and meeting her cool longtime friend. It was a wonderful afternoon chatting over dim sum and jasmine tea. (115)

    Check this place out for authentic Dim Sum and many Chinese cuisine dishes! Soooooo well priced and service was quick. Food was delicious and filling.

    I haven't been to New Century Chinese restaurant in a long time and it was most likely for dim sum back then. This time, I was here for a gala, featuring a ten course banquet dinner. Yummm! As usual, this feast started with a platter of Roasted Suckling Pig with Jellyfish. Scallops and Chicken with Snap Peas followed, along with Stuffed Crab Claws, and a Seafood with Fish Maw Soup. The food just kept coming, with Sweet and Sour Pork, Crispy Fried Chicken, and Lobster up next. We were all getting stuffed but it's hard to refuse the Steamed Fish, Fried Rice, and Noodles. Our meal ended with light desserts and full bellies! The food was all delicious, and the service was efficient, albeit not the friendliest (from our server). The restaurant was renovated since my last visit and it looked good, nice decor Overall, it was a good evening of tasty food and festivities.

    dim sum order

    new century restaurant used to be a go to spot while growing up in this area, and since they have renovated, the decor is clean and luxurious. they removed the cart ladies and have a pen and paper to order food now, which seems pretty standard. we ordered 40 items so we expected a bit of a wait for everything, but came in a timely manner! Food was delicious and the families favourites is the rice rolls, from beef, pork, then shrimp. we enjoyed all the classics and would definitely continue to go for morning dimsum, but they do get busy

    This Chinese/ dim sum Restaurant is huge! It can be divided into three sections for private functions/ events. I went here for their dim sum, and it did not disappoint! My favourite item was the steamed spare ribs and the chui chow fried noodle! 3 dim sum and a noodle dish was plenty of of food for two people- we packed some of the noodles home! Pro: Plaza offer free parking, accepts credit card payment, and friendly servers Cons: Servers weren't the most knowledgeable of the menu

    Came by for dim sum the other day and it was surprisingly a decent experience. New Century is located in a decrepit Asian mall with parking available in the parking garage or in the private lot. The interior of the restaurant seems recently remodeled and luxurious although the carpet and seat coverings were starting to show age. Staff wore a uniform, mask, and gloves. Started off with the baked BBQ pork buns and they were freshly baked with soft bread, flavorful BBQ pork, and topped with some light icing. Moved on to the BBQ pork rice noodle rolls which were very thin and the flavored soy sauce was served on the side. My favorite was the pork rice noodle rolls which had super slippery pork which was tasty. The squid dish was lackluster as it was overcooked and extremely rubbery. The pea sprouts were mediocre as some of it was rather past their prime... The beef tendons were tender and flavorful. The har gow was great with numerous fresh and flavorful shrimp wrapped in a translucent wrapping. Service by the staff was available. The washroom was a touch bizarre. The integrated soap dispenser behind the mirrors were non-operational. There were bottles of hand sanitizer with some mysterious liquid that may have been soap. ~$23/head after tax and gratuity for dim sum with plenty of leftovers.

    Shrimp Har Gow, Chicken Feet, and Friend Shrimp Ball with Almonds And some jasmine tea
    Arnel B.

    I wanted to try out a new dim sum place and New Century Restaurant was pretty good. It was quite busy inside but service was pretty quick overall. We were able to get a table, our food, and service pretty swiftly. The chicken feet, sui mai, and fried shrimp roll were my top 3. The har gow and fried shrimp ball with almonds were good too. I ordered the steamed bean curd roll but I should have ordered the steamed bean curd roll with chicken and mushroom. Both are two complete opposites. I wasn't a big fan of the steamed bean curd roll. This dim sum place is a bit on the pricier side but the portion sizes are larger than others. Although, there is a tea charge. Overall, New Century Restaurant is worth the try.

    They have some really good dim sum in Toronto. We stopped off at New Century Restaurant in Markham based on a YouTube video extolling the dim sum. I have to say it was just as good if not better than many of the dim sum restaurants in NYC (my hometown). They don't do the dim sum on the rolling cart but in many ways that better..dim sums are freshly made. We have many dishes. I love the congee with pork and preserved egg, cheung fun with shrimp, fried beef ribs with honey, steamed pork meatball and pork siu mai.

As a milk tea lover, this alone would make me choose this place over another. :) The restaurant itself is quite spacious. When you enter, it's the front counter and a take out shelf (with LOTS of people ordering take out). There is a dining room to the left and to the right. I like that the tables are generously spaced apart, unlike some other dim sum places. Food wise, it's pretty decent, like any other dim sum place. I wouldn't say that it's anything special and no dish really stood out to me. We were a larger group so we ordered 2-3 rounds of stuff, and sometimes would just ask the server to add on a dish for us. I don't know if this was confusing for them or what because a lot of our dishes didn't end up coming. Of course, dishes that didn't come were not charged. The bill itself is a little confusing but they are happy to explain it to you. Instead of an itemized receipt, it is just multiple lump sums for tea charge, S/M/L items, special items, etc. Gratuities are already included.

It's a popular spot located in Markham where tons of people enjoy coming here for dim sum and for dinner. Once we were seated, we got the ordering sheet where you can check off all the items you want to order. We ordered a bunch of items: Deep Fried Octopus Tentacles, Deep Fried Shrimp Ball with Almond, Salt and Pepper Fish, Baiyun Phoenix Claws, E-Fu Noodles and the Ginger Scallion Beef Tripe. Most of the items were very well made. Not too salty and quite flavourful. You can taste MSG but it wouldn't be dim sum if you didn't taste it. Special mentions go to the Deep Fried Shrimp Ball with Almond because I love how it is coated with Almond Slices and it was not too oily. I also really liked the Deep Fried Octopus Tentacles since it was not battered like crazy and I loved the Salt and Pepper Fish. The E-Fu Noodles were a bit bland, but it might have been because everything else had more flavour to it. We originally ordered their duck, but since we came later in the day, it was sold out. I would recommend getting it when you visit. The customer service was not too bad. They had multiple servers walking around but you have to ask specific ones if you wanted to have more hot water for your tea or wanted to add an order. Standard customer service in a Chinese restaurant. I like the look of the restaurant since it is more of a banquet hall type with a bunch of tanks with fresh fish and assorted seafood. Good spot for big groups and for a family gathering.

Sticky rice with chicken in lotus leaves: small portion. I don't like chicken only versions Shrimp and pork spring rolls: these suck Pan fried turnip cake: huge but way too much filler.

Since this Chef 88 is opened until 1am, I think this place will get busier as the night progresses. We weren't super hungry as well ate something for tea time. So we ordered Maggi Lobster (~3lbs) for $34/lb, and stir fried beef with Chinese broccoli (gai lan). The lobster was cooked perfectly, with the Maggi sauce not being too salty. They definitely gave us all the pieces of the 3lbs lobster. The gai lan had a bitter aftertaste, which is common for this vegetable. I wished they had a way to get rid of that. They were generous with the amount of beef and was well marinated. The cut wasn't that great, but that is to be expected. I don't think they added much MSG or at least used good quality ones, as we did not feel overly thirsty later in the evening. They give free daily soup and dessert. What we were most impressive was with the service. The waiters were very attentive, changing our plates twice during our 1ish hour meal. The also gave us wet wipes and more napkins without us requesting it. They even offered us additional soup, which we declined as we were quite full.

    Arrived early for Sunday Dimsum before they opened. By time we left there was a line waiting to be…read moreseated. When arriving we were confused, since the place looked like a fancy museum from outside. Inside, it was very clean modern and expensive looking. Many dining rooms which could be set up for private parties but not that many table overall. One of the prettiest dimsum places we've been to. Bathroom so clean, you can eat off it (at lease when we got there early). Tea service was good, they kept it full often. Ordered dimsum only. All were good-great. Most interesting was the dumplings with the bottom crust that looked like crepes. All the dishes were on the high side for the area. Our bill came to 100 CAD for just dimsum for 2. We saw others order fried rice and noodles dishes. They were massive, and we understood why they were pricy. Not a place we'd come regularly, but good for a splurge/ special occasion meal. The karaoke music and vid were too loud, and the waiter lowered it at our request.

    Noticed they reopened when we drove by the other day (they have been closed for major renovations…read morefor nearly a year and a half - suspect also financial and perhaps ownership change) Decor has changed radically. Has a more modern China feel with a tv playing either Karaoke or Cantonese news. Several rooms were named after Chinese or British Universities for some reason. Service was ok. Not as upscale as it was before. Not bad per se. just not quite inline with how it looks. Food was hit or miss: Har how: Solid and big. A good premium version for what is the most important dim sum dish. Siu Mai : medium sized and average. They used to be way bigger. Chicken feet: good portion and whole prices. Nowadays, most Chinese dim sum restaurants will cut these in half and serve you when I announced it only be 2 to 3 pieces in total. This dish had six full chicken feet if not more. Good value. Shanghai soup dumplings: mediocre. I will not get these again. Pan fried turnip cake: nice and thick and delicious. You could definitely tell that there's actual turnip in there. I've noticed that many dim sum restaurants have dramatically reduced the amount of turnip inside of these because the turnip is getting more expensive. This place did not. Chiu Chou dumplings: these were solid. I would get these again. Beef balls with bean curd skin: these tasted decent and I think the quality is there. However they are quite small. Pang fried chives dumplings: two oily and a taste wasn't there. I won't order these again. Feels like this Restaurant change ownership as well as all the chefs. Looking at the dinner menu there's a lot of hot pot and surprisingly karaoke options as well. It looks like they have changed to cater towards chinese rich kids. I used to think this was the best in some restaurant in Toronto. Unless this changes dramatically, I don't think I'll be coming back here anymore. At least not for dim sum.

    We stopped by for dim sum on a Saturday and it was pretty quiet when we arrived, with lots of open…read moretables. The food came out quickly, which was a nice plus, but it's worth noting that they don't offer any weekend dim sum specials. The tea was pretty weak and lacked flavour, especially considering it's $2.50 per person, which is more expensive than many nearby dim sum restaurants. We ordered 3 dishes. One of the more unique dishes we tried was the deep-fried pumpkin and sweet potato. It seemed like an uncommon order because several staff members came over to look at it as it was served. The portion was huge for a dim sum dish, with thick slices of pumpkin and sweet potato. Unfortunately, the batter was also thick, which made the dish feel a bit heavy. The fried glutinous dumpling was really good. The wrapper wasn't overly thick, and the filling-to-dough ratio was well balanced. The beef balls were enjoyable, but nothing to particularly write about. Overall, the food was pretty good, and the restaurant was bright and clean, but the value wasn't there. With no weekend specials and the extra tea charge, our bill came to about $30 for just three dishes between the two of us. At most other dim sum spots, that same amount usually gets us a much larger meal. As it got closer to noon, the restaurant started filling up quickly, so it seems like they're more popular for their lunch menu than for dim sum. I probably wouldn't come back for dim sum since there are other places nearby with comparable food at much better prices, but I'd still be open to returning to try their lunch menu!

    Dim Sum at Lobster Port is one of the best in the area. Lobster Port is slightly more expensive but…read moreit 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. 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. 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.
