10lb Lobster Three Ways Typhoon Shelter Lobster Mountain + Golden Sand Lobster Body + Shrimp Roe Fried Rice A mountain of lobster on the table, impressive for photos! Even with extra weight, it's only 29.99, so you can add more if you have a large group without feeling guilty. The salted egg yolk is absolutely delicious; everyone who's tried it raves about it. Pepper Abalone Pork Tripe Chicken Soup A creamy white broth with a mild peppery spiciness that's incredibly comforting. One pot can hold more than 10 bowls--a truly generous portion. Whole Fresh Grouper + Garlic Ribs The ribs were tender and flavorful, the fish was fresh and substantial, and the portions of each dish were incredibly generous. Crispy Pigeon Made to Order A must-order signature dish, also served à la carte; crispy skin, tender meat, and lots of juice. We even took some home! Maybe because we added 2 lbs of spot prawns. The owner said this set meal was designed for 10 people. It's less than 40 RMB per person and includes lobster, abalone, grouper, and pigeon. read more

Shine Kitchen - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

We were here for dinner and the birthday of my father in law. We reserved the table for 4+1. We didn't wait for too long when we arrived. They only have high chair, but no booster seat. It was ok that kid could sit on a side of table, but just a bit dangerous when the hot dishes come. The staff were really careful about that. They have some winter specials that I like so much. The lamp hotpot was so tasty with a dish of veggie on the side. The deep fried pumpkin was really good. The pan fried Tiger shrimp was huge, and fish bowl wasn't fishy that we love it. Kid also enjoyed the shrimp wonton noodles and the lamp. The staff was so nice to care about the kid, even though we did a bit messy, they still really patient and helpful. The prices were reasonable and affordable to us. It's a good place for family and we definitely will come back again. read more

Shine's Kitchen has been my family's go to restaurant for an affordable and nice Chinese meal. We like to come during their afternoon tea between 2-5pm because they have a lot of affordable dishes that also come with a free drink. You can choose between Milk Tea, Red Bean Ice, and their HK Style lemon tea. You can also add a side dish for 4.88$! The best way to describe Shine's kitchen is a better and more affordable Congee Queen. the platter of shrimp only costed 8.99$ and was big and delicious. We also ordered a beef noodle scallion soup and lo mein. They were both decent but a bit bland. I added a bit soy sauce and chili oil to remedy that. Every time we come, we always end up having to take home leftovers because they are very generous with the portion sizes. The Cantonese Chow Mein costed only 17.99$ and came with a free drink! It's not the most amazing Cantonese food I've had but the value simply cannot be beat. The ambiance is quite spacious and comfortable. However, if coming for dinner, make sure you make a reservation because they are quite packed. Wait times can be over 30-45 minutes during dinner time. The washroom is downstairs and isn't exactly clean. The service is very dependent on the waitress serving your table. We've had both great experiences and bad ones as well. They do expect a minimum of 10% tip or they may make a comment about it. Overall, it's a great restaurant for Cantonese style cuisine and the prices are amazing! read more

This place has good food! They did the lobster efu noodles very good! You could really taste the wok hei. The beef tenderloin was very soft and flavorful. The tentacle was pretty good but could use more seasoning. They gave us the biggest table for 7 people so it was very spacious. Service was fast . We did have to ask for rice twice before they brought it to us. read more

Really good deals! Currently doing their 3 years anniversary promotions with 2 of the few items at a discounted price and 12% off all take outs. Some items include lamb pot for $18.88 or beef ribs for $19.99. On top of that, if you spend over $100, you get 10 fried chicken hicken wings! Generous portions, great service, good food and flavours. Also got a $75 fish tail and it was big in portion and delicious. Chicken wings were fried crispy and hot. Lamb pot was a good deal just a bit on the watery side but you could use it to hotpot. Good chili oil Washrooms are downstairs, a bit ghetto but not bad. read more

Stumbled upon this hidden gem because of my mom * They sell classic chinese cuisine and have a huge menu, we got the lobster tower, sweet & sour chicken, turnip cakes, seafood noodles. They offered a free appetizer and dessert since we ordered a lot! Highly recommend going here. Garlic Oysters were 7.5/10 Super juicy but could be more flavourful! I want to try the pepper flavour next time. Still so shocked, it's huge!! Lobster Tower -8/10 Seafood Noodle- 7.5/10 Turnip Cake- 9/10 (better than congee queen super crispy and hot) Seafood fried rice 7/10 Sweet & sour chicken 8/10 It was very busy around 5pm on Sunday, with only 3 servers so it was a bit hard to get their attention but they were super nice and friendly!! I reccomend reservations for big groups. There is an english menu and servers know how to speak english so don't worry about the signs how they're all chinese ! read more

Food 3.5 Service 3 Ambience 3 This is a very busy restaurant with very reasonable prices. The first time we came on a Tuesday night at 6:30pm. We waited about 15 minutes for a table. The dinner was your average Chinese restaurant. Nothing exceptional or especially notable. The restaurant has several large tables and it was extremely loud. Servers are extremely busy and move around briskly but are responsive to one's requests. The second time we went for lunch at 2:00pm and we were seated in about 10 minutes at a shared table. The afternoon tea menu includes a hot or cold beverage. We opted for the cold red bean ice cream drink. The lunch menu is very reasonable with dishes starting at $10-$13 including the cold/hot beverage. Hot Chinese tea is also included. We ordered: Groupa and Tofu and the second dish Winter Melon with Beef. The beef was quite chewy. There is public parking outside. read more

Local spot, good authentic chinese food. There's a lot of seniors that come here because the food is and affordable. Don't expect a ton of service but that's not what you come here for.

Cantonese cuisine and food itself is actually pretty good and there is a lot of variety. However, the servers are so busy running around it is hard to get a hold of them. Even after pressing the button of service no one shows up. Restaurant is really busy and loud. It is very difficult to talk even with the person beside you. Also don't know why they use disposable utensils to serve the food. They put a plastic takeout spoon in a claypot dish... I'm surprised it didn't melt! We like coming here for the food but be prepared for the loud and chaotic environment. read more

This is the worst restaurant my family has ever experienced. The servers are extremely inattentive. I came here in May and I would never come back here. With the inattentive staff, it's probably better to make your restaurant a buffet, so that people can serve themselves. read more

Since opening their doors, Shine Kitchen brings honest homestyle Cantonese cuisine across their menu options. Locals frequent this spot for classic dishes such as Stir Fried Lobster, Fried Rice Noodles, Congee, and more whether it's the lunch, dinner or afternoon tea menu. The service can be a hit or miss at times as during peak times, the staff can be a bit stressed at times and may be a little passive aggressive given the lack of staff to accommodate for large groups. Aside from that, the food is what Shine Kitchen should be frequented for! read more

Service: - We made reservations for 15 people a couple days ahead and got seated immediately upon checking in. There was only 12 chairs but the staff were able to accommodate us for 15. Staff warned us it may be tight but it felt just right to me. - The table had a rotating tabletop in the middle which was convenient but it kept rotating automatically. - We ordered congee midway but never got it. - Food arrived at a steady rate which was nice, but our duck bone soup came last which was least preferred. Food: The highlights were: - Deep Fried Fish Fillet w/ Spicy Salt $16.99 - Fish Roe, Eel & Crab Meat Fried Rice $16.99 - Cantonese Chow Mein $16.99 Everything else was good but pretty standard compared to other Chinese restaurants: - Peking Roast Duck Two Courses Dinner $60.99 * Sliced Duck Skin and Meat, Wrap with Scallions, Cucumbers and Sweet Paste in Pancake * Duck Meat Wrapped by Lettuce * Duck Soup made of Duck Bones - Lobster with Silverfish $32.99 - Stir Fried Beef with Chinese Broccoli $16.99 - Spice & Pepper Salt Shrimp $17.99 - Yeung Chow Fried Rice with Shrimp & BBQ Pork $13.99 - Mixed Vegetable Fried Rice $11.99 - Beef with Vegetable Chow Mein $16.99 read more

I don't really understand the high reviews. Eaten here twice hoping for better than just average experiences. First time was for their lunch special of Singapore rice noodle platter w soup, spring roll and veg. The food was very ma ma day. The second time was for dinner. We ordered: Clams w bb sauce 3/5 small order, not freshest lobster w ginger green onion 3/5 small lobster for the price beef rib special 3.5/5 large order, taste was ok Dow mew veg sprouts 4/5 tasty, fresh salt pepper squid 3/5 tough, over cooked oysters w garlic 5/5 huge and very good I get that it's cheap and maybe that's the primary attraction. Service was inattentive due to understaffing. For me the lesson is you get what you pay for. read more

Shine Kitchen never been my first choice. I ended up coming here twice when I asked my friends to decide where to go for dinner. The menu has enough selections and the price is reasonable. But every time after I ate here, I don't feel too well because of the amount of MSG they used. I doubt I will be back to Shine Kitchen again. read more

Better than I expected from the poor reviews! They do Peking duck quite well with the side ingredients chopped to the proper size. The duck was quite standard but the wrap was thin and tasty. But wish they provided at least 2 more wraps. They gave us a whole head of lettuce for the sang choi bao. It was kind of tedious to peel apart but I appreciated the amount given. We also had clay pot rice with beef patty and choi which was actually in a metal pot. It was okay only because the rice was too moist and there wasn't a nice crispy rice cracker to eat. I'd come back for the Peking duck and Sang choi bao though. read more

We ordered some crispy tofu for lunch, as well as the chicken satay stir fried rice noodles. The crispy tofu was delicious and a very generous portion. The satay stir fried noodles were great as well - filled with bell peppers, tender pieces of chicken, and even pineapple. They used slightly thinner rice noodles here than at other restaurants. read more

Family dinner night and this place was chosen by the elders in the family who live close by and come regularly. Judging by the number of oversized tables (can seat over 10 people) crammed into the restaurant this is a popular place for family meals. The menu has everything! Think Congee Queen or Wong menus. I even saw avocado shake on the drink options. What sets them apart is they have a good selection of set dinners. Let's start with the environment....there were waayyy too many tables/people crammed into this small space. I am almost certain they violated some fire code. If there are not enough chairs at the table they break out plastic stools for the customers. In terms of cleanliness I would give it a 2 star. The noise volume was high! Food...it was okay.....I would not say it was the best even if the prices were reasonable. We didn't order a set meal but chose separate items off the menu. Food was good but nothing memorable. Service....it was actually okay but with this many people don't expect white glove attentiveness. All in all the whole experience was meh. Soooo many options in Scarborough that I am sure you can find somewhere else where the food and prices are just as comparable and cleanliness would be higher! When we left there were 4 men standing in the middle of the parking lot (side by side!) smoking. read more

We ordered stir fry clams, scramble eggs with shrimp, and Chinese broccoli with beef. The taste is good, portion is big, price is on the cheaper side. However, the bowls are not too clean and very sticky feeling when you touch it! I do recommend for food but be aware of the bowls. Maybe do take out! read more

We came here for dinner to try the house special congee (with variety of seafood), lobster fried rice, noodle soup with dumplings, and fried squid. Each dish tasted decent but was a bit too salty and greasy (was really thirsty throughout the meal) so we know they weren't skipping out on MSG. Taking down stars as our stomaches were upset quickly after having this meal, not sure if it was the greasiness or uncleanliness.. Won't be returning. read more

Food is great !!! Reasonable price. Floor a bit sticky and slippery, just a note for Management to clean be aware.

The food tasted a bit weird and yuck! The service is pretty slow The atmosphere is quite unique read more

Tried the gigantic steamed oysters tonight and it was so fresh and flavourful with your choice of minced garlic or black bean sauce. The size of the oysters shocked me as they were so humungous ! Also their beef (in a phyllo type bowl) was tender and peppery. Their Fukien fried rice had very good "wok hei" but a too much sauce provided. The crab and fish maw soup was delicious and had real crab meat to my delight ! Overall, a definite 5/5 for four of the five items selected. This place is consistently good and their pricing is always reasonable. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Great food, but lobster was slightly overdone. A great variety on their menu and all the dishes we tried were excellent in taste. Service wasn't spectacular, though. They missed a couple of things we ordered. They were also nice and rude at the same time. The restaurant isn't huge, and they have maximized their space with large tables, so it's snug in there. Tip to always check your place setting as some of the tea cups were dirty and needed to be exchanged for clean ones. read more

I came across this restaurant from one of my Chinese food fb group. Definitely a great addition to near my parents home! The afternoon tea that runs from 2-5pm has a wide variety from like $7-14. My parents ordered the beef brisket noodles and they enjoyed it. Big portion and you can drinks from lemon ice tea to red bean freeze. For an additional $3 you can choose a side snack such as fried wonton, dumplings, chicken wings with fish sauce and other options. The wings were large and my parents really enjoyed it! They are already planning their next outing to this restaurant! read more

I don't understand the hype about this restaurant... Came here on a weekend during the Chinese Afternoon Tea time (2p-5p) and ordered from their afternoon tea menu- Hainan Chicken Rice and Assorted Shredded meat fried noodles. The portion was big given the price you paid but still a little expensive for an afternoon tea menu. Wasn't as flavourful, too much MSG and the choice of drinks was a can of pop =.= what a rip-off. read more

Great spot for quick and delicious Cantonese food. The interior is spacious and nicely-decorated with lots of tables available. We often come for their afternoon tea combos, which are very affordably priced and come with a drink of your choice, including a red bean ice cream freeze. I personally really like their shrimp wonton noodle soup, which is less than $10 as of time of writing! I've also come for dinner and the quality of their dishes is fairly decent. Service is standard for what you'd expect at Chinese restaurants. read more

Our orders: Beef brisket curry, deep fried shrimp balls, scallop and shrimp congee, pork in penny hot sauce noodles, sour cabbage noodles Pros + Atmosphere: spacious seating with interesting interior + Parking Cons - Sales were advertised without the disclaimers being very apparent.

This use to be Kennys noodle and was one of my fav spots so naturally when this place took over, i still had to try it out and this was my findings.. This place is very loud, seems like everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs in Mandarin and that didn't help as our server didn't speak English. We ordered the pineapple seafood fried rice, E-fu noodles, and fried squid. I mean, the food was decent but i just couldn't get over seeing one of the chefs in the washroom, using the washroom and just retuning to work WITHOUT washing his hands!! Not to mention the slippery tiled steps to get down to the washrooms thats a lawsuit waiting to happen. I probably won't be coming back and rate this place 2.3 stars and 2/5 for washrooms read more

First impression upon entry was the lighting and wall arts were beautiful. The menus posted attractive promotions, such as inexpensive steamed fishes, and we took advantage of it. The fish was fresh and adequately flavoured. It was a deal. It was also the best dish of the evening, because the rest were, while flavourful, loaded with MSG. I would recommend entrees of streamed varieties should you desire to avoid so. The services was functionally effective, but don't expect more. read more

Came here with the family for dinner and left disappointed. The food was so so, some tasted good (like the pork chop, beef with Chinese broccoli) and the rest not so great (bland). We ordered a dish which tasted bitter and burnt and we sent it back, half an hour later they said "we're canceling it, it's just going to taste the same if we remake it.". The service was slower and rushed us when we were still waiting for food to arrive. The crab didn't taste fresh, and it was suppose to be with ginger and scallions but it had no taste at all. The tone of voice used was on the harsher side and was quite loud. read more

This is the first we tried out this restaurant for lunch, foods were tasteless, people were talking so loud that we couldn't hear ourselves, I won't recommend this restaurant. read more

Haven't been back to this location since Kenny's delight closed down. Ordered takeout for the family, we paid over $80 for 4 dishes and it didn't even come with rice, we had to add rice on top for additional $2.50 per order. Although flavours were decently average, the portions were extremely small comparatively. There are plenty other similar restaurants in this area and it definitely wouldn't be my first choice read more

Arrived around dinner time. Didn't order from the traditional dinner menu, we're just looking for a quick bite. So each got our own noodle or rice dish. The soup noodle is packed with MSG. You're supposed to reduce majority of the salt if you're using msg!!!! Either msg or the salt must be on sale! It must be a Hong Kong chef, cause you can taste the style of cooking has the HK localized flavor. Not that HK localized style is bad, I'm just use to more authentic flavor with my "Ma Po" tofu. Maybe some other day, I'll try their main dinner menu. But as of now based on the food... 3 stars read more

Friendly staff, nasty food Ordered the Shredded Pork Lo Mein D06. It was basically Spaghetti. Nasty. Had to return it. Then ordered the Dumpling in Noodle Soup C06. Dumplings had no flavor at all. Then they overcharged and said the menu price was different from the price on the menu. They had only been open for 2 weeks; how was the price different already?! read more
