The environment is nice while there are only a few tables with 2- 4 people small groups . When our foods were brought up, there came a bigger group like 7 , sitting next to us, hmmm… it was not a nice experience while one lady on that table talked all the time, loudly. She ruined everything although the elegant tea sets and golden spoons and chopsticks were still shining…. The egg crepe was great but the Taiwan three cup chicken was not really Taiwan style when the chef didn’t put in basil… okay no worry blame COVID and short of supply…. Perfect excuse . I left 15% tip anyway, the girls are kind.

This was a really chic and elegant restaurant. The decor and setting were pleasant. It was a nice calm place to enjoy high quality Tianjin cuisine. The food was delicious and the service was great. It was definitely a good choice to go for fine dining Chinese food. Will definitely go back again! So nice to visit again! The restaurant was elegant & spacious. We were seated upstairs this time. The seating area upstairs was very calm and quiet, but our server was still attentive and provided excellent service to us. The food was good as always and the portion was reasonable for that price. We enjoyed our dinner very much.

Both the Juicy prok bun and Steamed bun stuffed with marinated prok and chives are disappointed. The marinated pork doesn't taste good and stuffing is not much. Juicy prok bun doesn't look right already... The salty eggs pumpkins is actually good. But the selling point of this restaurant is Bao/Bun, very sad that their signature dishes are not good.

I’ve been visiting this restaurant for many years and recently, every time I was huge disappointed on there food and service. Broken plates. Service is horrible. Seems they keep forgetting our order and in the end we had to cancel. We strongly asked them “NO CILANTRO ON EVERYTHING” and came with big amounts of cilantro. It took 3 times of call to get glass of water. I also heard table next to us complained. The bun we ordered was no better than frozen one from the market, also filling was pretty small. Probably I wouldn’t go this restaurant anymore.

The food tasted decent, but my husband and I felt nauseous shortly thereafter. The waitresses were incredibly rude. I thought it was just in my head, but my Chinese husband also got the impression that they were rude to me because I wasn't Chinese. I wouldn't recommend it and encourage you to take your money elsewhere.

Arrived on a saturday afternoon. Was asked if we wanted tea without mentioning there was a 5 dollar surcharge for that. Not worth it considering it was just a basic tea bag. We ordered the pork steam bun, crab soup dumplings, corn with pine nuts and white mushroom, and sauteed pork with tofu sheets. The corn dish was overpriced considering it had barely any pine nuts and mushrooms and the corn tasted frozen. The bun and soup dumplings tasted average, and the sautéed pork dish was too oily. For the price we paid, there's much better options to be found. Will not be coming again.

We first visited Goubuli Richmond Hill location this past December when our friends hosted a private VIP dinner inviting 5 full 3 full tables of adults + 1 kid tables. Each table were being served with seafood, dumplings and all the signature dishes prepared by Goubuli. The upper level is a nice private space. This was the 1st time we visited this resto and we felt in luv. They used unique ingredients, serving unique dishes that I never tried before. Mind you, I am used to HK style of food, so many of these authentic Chinese dishes are new to me. I thought this place only serves up bao and dumplings. Not quite, they also serve big dishes of seafood such as lobsters and Alaskan crab legs. In particular, we really like the cold jellyfish as appetizer. The hot bowl of pork intestine, chicken bean curb peppery soup was my favourite. The fried rice with fish roe on top was delicious. I highly recommend this place to you. Eversince of this wonderful dining experience, we brought our parents to this place and it was enjoyable. Moreover, we also invited our friends and dined at the 2nd location in Chinatown and that location is equally as good. Kid-friendliness: At our private VIP party, there was a big kids table for the kids to enjoy the feast, it was located on the upper level. Overall, I think it's suitable for kids to dine and enjoy. Parking: There are plenty of free parking in the plaza, you should be able to find one during weeknights. However, on weekends, it may be a little bit difficult but still should have enough parking spaces.

Good food. Clean tables and pleasant environment to sit and enjoy dinner. The beef, soup dumplings, cauliflower, water sprouts are great. Usually go on regular basis…

I think this restaurant doesn’t live up to its reputation, coz the Bao was just so-so and the handmade dumplings wasn’t even fully cooked. Other foods are just average but it’s not That good that could draw many famous pple to dine in… I’m a little disappointedRecommended dishesJuicy Pork Dumplings, Fish Hotpot, , Sweet and Sour Pork

We were here for Peking duck. We were not quite impressed by their food tho. Peking duck was bland and not juicy. The pork arms cold dish was dry and bland as well. Everything here is not salty enough in our opinions.
