To be honest, it is not perfect in many dimensions: It's not spacious and feels too greedy to have too many tables. It is not a good place if you really want to have an elegant environment to have your meals. The servers are a bit aggressive. But despite of all those disadvantages, I still give it 5 stars because it has the PERFECT food! I almost dropped some tears when I tasted my first bite of the dish I ordered, stored fried beef with tomatoes and eggs. I think what it does best is that it adapt its dishes to use the local produce and meat, and still keep the legit HongKong food flavors. My wife ordered the stir fried instant noodles and it was full of pepper, mushrooms and soy sauce flavor. I highly recommend this restaurant to have meal with friends or family (but not too many people since it's small and crowded. You can go to other coffee shop to chat

(It was originally another spicy reso, but I think they switched names, not 100% sure) Place is packed on a Friday evening, even after 8pm. I take that as a good sign Food came relatively fast, and everything is piping hot, which is what I like when it's so so cold outside. I highly recommend their stir-fried spicy beef, garlic sauce veggie, and jasmine tea. - I was really excited for the crispy ribs, but I think it had too much flour/dough on top of it... which doesn't affect the taste, just prefer it the other way. Overall, great new spot! Definietly coming back to try out new items.

Roast pork are above average, but it is only like $10 USD. My wife loves the squid, kids love the fried dumpling. Fried dumpling are huge, with 3 shrimp inside, well pan fried. Squab is only 20 CAD. Shrimp har gow is the biggest i seen and with a shrimp. My least favorite is siu mai. It is huge but it is a bit mushy. Waiter is friendly. He was asking us where we came from since he doesnt recognize the Chase credit card. Overall, a great experience.

Service was amazing Food and price not so much…read moreThe service deserves 4 stars, it was friendly, courteous and efficient. They must have filled my 2 teapots 4-5 times even if it was not needed. Also, they replaced my plate which had bones. A sight never seen at dim sum. Everyone smiled and was very polite. But The food, the food was just average, average at best Nothing spectacular however not horrible. Food deserves 2 stars The topper is the price. I came at 9:30 am and there was no special price for small, medium and large. It was all menu priced. That's a first for my dim sum experiences. 1 star for price And 3 stars all together, that's already very generous. I would caution a recommendation as I won't be back ever again

We did some take out this weekend. It was really close by.

Both of them were good and tasty. Just the potion was a bit tiny. That's good enough for me as a girl. They were ready fast, we didn't wait for too long. The price was reasonable. We can definitely come back again, and should come back to try others.

Mom and I visited over the weekend and this place was packed. They have a huge menu, just like a…read moretypical cha chaan teng, so it honestly took us forever to decide what to order. We ended up getting the ham macaroni soup with a cheese ham sandwich combo, along with the O Street signature beef sandwich and fries from their new menu. Despite how busy it was on a Saturday, the food came out at a pretty reasonable speed, which I appreciated. The macaroni soup was just okay, very much the kind of simple comfort food that fills you up, but nothing especially memorable. I was most excited for the signature beef sandwich, but it didn't fully meet my expectations. The burger/sandwich itself was smaller than I imagined, and it only had about 2-3 pieces of beef brisket inside with marinated bell peppers and their homemade sauce. The sauce leaned sweeter than expected, which might work for some people, but personally I was hoping for something more savoury and more generous with the beef. However, the brisket was tender, which was a win... ish. Overall, still a decent spot if you're craving classic HK cafe vibes and variety, especially for a casual meal with family.

It not only has typical things from HK cafe, but also had dishes like a HK seafood restaurant. The price is very reasonable as well. The quality of the food is above average.

We hope to go back more often to try on their other items on the menu.

We were in the area and even though it's only rated 3.3 stars I thought we should decide for…read moreourselves. For me, it's teetering between 2.5 to 3 stars. It was easy to find parking on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch. Inside, there were a few larger parties having lunch, but many four seater tables still available. First thing I noticed was how loud it was. It's like going to a bar, but in the early afternoon. You definitely have to speak louder to your dining companions. Our food took a while (for a cha chaan teng), but it was understandable since the larger tables had just ordered before us. I do like that there isn't an additional charge for included cold drinks. However, there is a $0.50 fee if you would like a takeout cup for your dine-in drink. The HK milk tea was decent. However, the cook must've be distracted or trying to make too many dishes at once. The sausage (hotdog and red sausage) and luncheon meat were fried too long and fairly dry. Prices are decent, but we probably won't be back.

I've been to Jumbo Lobster a few times for dinner and have truly enjoyed every visit!!…read more 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!

We had an excellent waiter, the food was very good, and the restaurant itself was beautiful…read more 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.

The wait was a long one, coming here without a reservation at dinner time was somewhat a mistake,…read moreprobably waited 45 minutes. So be sure to plan ahead! Tables were nicely spaced, although loud, you can still talk and enjoy the pots - Service time was very attentive - and checked on you a reasonable amount of times to ensure you were having a positive dining experience. The white pepper chicken was AMAZING , and it felt like the chicken kept respawning inside the broth, because it felt like we never ran out of chicken (portion was very generous). The rice wasn't bad , I'm not a huge fan of claypot rice in general, however this one had good flavours and the crispy rice was just right, without tasting burnt. Hope to visit again during a future Toronto trip -

If you're looking for something different from regular hotpot, The Big Casserole is a must-try…read more Their white pepper chicken and pork stomach hotpot is the star. The broth is fragrant, peppery, and deeply comforting without being too spicy. It's one of those soups that warms you up from the inside out -- perfect for winter. We ordered the $65 large portion (good for 3-4 people) and were surprised by how generous it was. It includes two plates of chicken, and the serving size is very substantial. They also offer a smaller $52 option for two people and individual pots for solo diners. We added extra meat and vegetables, but it honestly wasn't needed. Portions are big and great for sharing. We even had leftovers to take home. Great value for the quality and portion size. Definitely a spot I would come back to for authentic Chinese comfort food.
