3 Best Dim sum restaurants in Scarborough

Pretty busy place that on a Friday mid morning there was a wait for a table. Fairly good food with some specials like $18.99 for lobster e-fu noodles or $4.99 steamed oyster with vermicelli and black beans. The wait staff are pretty efficient and fairly good service but they are busy and sometimes you'll need to flag someone.

Highly recommended! Probably the best dim sum I have ever tried in Toronto. Must order the lava egg yolk bun. Fair price with authentic Chinese dim sum. Surely will re-visit!

Great place for dimsum. The food was good, though they had forgotten one of our dishes. It's nice that they have people walking around offering dishes (in our case a pineapple BBQ pork bun), which is a bit of a throwback to the traditional dimsum experience. The Sui Mai was pretty big as well. Prices were fair for dimsum at today's standards.

The place gets extremely packed though. We went at 9 30 am and it was quite full. After our meal, around 10 30 am, there was a lineup

Overall, good dimsum, I would come back again for it

Super busy during dinner time so recommend making a reservation! Seafood dishes are usually more fresh compared to other Chinese restaurants

Lowkey dim sum spot - definitely worth a try if you’re in the area! All dishes were fresh - the Siu Mai (steamed pork dumpling) is topped with a whole shrimp, and their deep fried squid tentacles are fried without the batter so you can really taste the juiciness of the squid

The menu isn’t as extensive compared to most dim sum places but they still have most of the classics (they don’t have egg tarts on the menu which I was quite disappointed about)

A small authentic Dim Sum place in north Scarborough. They hand make their dim sum . We tried 7 different dishes and they were all good . Our server was very nice and speedy . The dim was steamed fresh . There was a couple of dishes I have not seen or heard of and surprised of how good they were . I highly recommend sticky rice with preserved meat bun. Steamed dumpling with pork, mushrooms and bamboo shoots . Steamed dumpling with pork and peanut . This will be a go to place !

Third world. This building ought be closed.

washrooms are simply awful - a signing directing toilet paper away from being flushed. Deadly stairs to access.

It is time for this place to close.

The food was very very bad. There are also rather silly autonomous delivery "drones" that are a complete waste.

Hopefully the employees are paid according to Ontario law.

Asian Legend who specializes in the Northern Chinese cuisine started in the late 1980's in downtown Chinatown. With a modest beginning, there are now several locations across the GTA.

1. Braised Beef noodles soup.
2. Smoked fish, Drunken Chicken soaked in liquor, and Deep marinated Beef Shank.
3. Sauted Snowpea Shoot with Garlic
4. Boiled dumplings - chicken and mushroom

They do takeouts, online orders, and also do their own local deliveries. There is Wi-Fi access for their dine in customers. There are washrooms available on-site. If you have mobility issues, ask them where the nearest one is.

The staff are courteous and attentive. Do you know they have a yearly VIP card program. If you have one, you can save 10% off your bill and collect points for gifts. Ask Joyce for further details. She is fluent in English and treats her customers like a VIP.

There are several VIP rooms available at this location. Some are located in the main dining hall, while the others are located at the back of restaurant. Sliding doors separate these VIP rooms and can easily accommodate different sizes of group of people. Be aware there is a minimum order food charge per individual room. Call ahead for pricing.

There are ample parking spaces at the front, side and at the back of the building. If there are no more parking spaces, which happens occasionally since this restaurant do get busy. You can discreetly park in the neighbouring stores and plazas. There is a multi level mall next door and a supermarket at the way back.

They accept cash, debit and credit card payments. I gave ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ because of my whole dining experience with the Servers, Food taste and presentation, and the overall cleanliness of Restaurant.

They still abide to covid 19 protocols. I noticed a hand sanitizer bottle in every table, and all the dishes and utensils are still wrapped. You feel safe because the tables are still socially distance from one another. Note they do not have an outdoor patio.

A good reliable place for Asian food but it can be often packed here. We tend to stick with the same dishes but they are always consistent and fresh. The service is always good and the food comes out quickly. Don't rate this based on other Asian Legend locations because we have had bad experiences elsewhere, but not here. UPDATE: This is still an amazing location and we've been coming here for years and the food is always fresh. Great to see that this place is continuing to pump out great food.
