Yu Garden - Richmond Hill, Ontario

This Shanghaiese Restaurant is located outside Markham, and Richmond Hill and about additional 15 minutes drive from Hwy 7 & Warden Avenue. It opened in the strip mall along with non- Asian stores. The food there were GREAT and we can’t wait to go back there to eat. The ... soup dumplings were stuffed with meat and truffles and tasted so food. 腰果酥和高力豆沙 are must eat desserts! The best I had ever tried in my life, even better than the restaurant I had in Hong Kong and Taipei. Read more

Love this place!! Service was okay. But the food was bangin! Super juicy soupy xiao long baos and pan fried dumplings. Everything was not too salty. And the skin on the steamed soup dumplings were reallly thin, but too too thin that the soup leaks. I definitely recommend getting the ... pork and shrimp steamed dumplings and the truffle ones. Both are aan experience to have. That said it is kind of pricy. They charge you the non-vip price. And for a fee you can get the card and pay the VIP price. Read more

Excellent experience here every time! We had couple of time in this restaurant, good for family gathering or just two. If you love the SHANGHAI style food(本帮菜) or Shanghai snack (上海小吃), you shouldn’t miss this place. The food quality is equally good as what you can eat in Shanghai, We’d give the ... chef the a thumb up of maintaining a high standard of its traditional recipe. As for the price, hum... you know what, steamed dumpling (小笼包) for example, is a traditional snack in Shanghai resident’s daily life. in today’s Shanghai the price of a set of steamed dumpling can be a huge difference, you can get it for 10RMB from a street vendor, or you might spend 10 times more money from a famous branded restaurant, depends on the material, quality and of cause the taste.

WHAT TO TRY?! The lovely dumplings. You can even try the mega dumplings! The dishes are Shanghai inspired and include flavours that aren’t too spicy. The dumplings had a lot of juice inside and they also had interesting versions of the dumpling too. So other than the typical pork dumplings, they had ... spicy dumpling, veggie dumpling and even truffle oil dumpling. I honestly think that sticking with the traditional siao lung bao dumpling is the best. Full of flavour and the meat was very tender and soft. Their red braised pork noodle was also very good. Too bad there’s no veggies in the soup noodle though or else this dish would be a great dish to have on its own as a meal! The pork hock meat was very tender though. Layers of fat alternate with the meat and each cube was nicely cooked! LAST TIP?! If you sign up with their membership card, you get member pricing. So ask them about it if you live around the area and will see yourself going here often. The mega dumpling has a lot of juice and it’s really hot, so be careful slurping the juice!!! Read more

I have heard good reviews about this Shanghai food restaurant, so my gf and I decided to try it for the first time. As we entered, we were greeted amicably by the host and the waiters. Since we were hungry, we ordered four dishes that stood out to us on ... the menu. The prices are somewhat higher than other restaurants of its kind in Toronto. The steamed buns, their specialty, were pretty good. We got the truffle pork steamed buns and the crab roe soup steamed bun, and both dishes were fragrant and flavorful (be warned that the soup is very hot). The braised pork belly was cooked well, the meat very easy to chew but slightly too sweet to my taste. Lastly the prawn with salted yolk was decent, but did not stand out to the other dishes. Overall, I enjoyed the clean and friendly atmosphere, and the food did satisfy us. Should I happen to crave for Shanghai food while in the area, we may visit again. Read more
