May Yan Seafood Restaurant

Recently got a large takeout dinner here and also had a dine in lunch. The eggplant dishes here are really good and flavourful. Most of their stir fry dishes are solid too with good wok control and flavour. The lobster deal they currently have $20/lb for take out is a good deal. Their lunch menu is also very good bang for buck since the portions are pretty large for the price. The pork jowl and cucumber vermicelli from their lunch menu was quite bland and flat but their other dishes have all been good. Note that they will charge you $2 for a "container fee" if you want to separate the sauce in a dish e.g. sweet and sour pork with sauce on the side.

Delicious and fast, this is a great place for Cantonese food. They do a mix of more casual dishes like fried rice to fancier stuff like scallops in a nest of fried taro. Prices are pretty good and they have some more unique dishes like steamed duck with taro and plum sauce. There's lots of specials on the walls but many don't have English translations so you might need Google translate. The lamb casserole smelled delicious and was a popular dish during my visit.

The Maggi flavoured lobster is to die for!! So good!! And Becky’s service was amazing! Will definitely come back. Downside is the service is a bit slow, long wait. But price is amazing and the food is amazing.

Generally food isn’t like spectacular, but I would say a good place if you are looking for a lobster place with decent deals. Relatively cheaper compared to other places. Check out Torontofoodiefattie on Instagram for more posts!

Stay away from this restaurant, the service is terrible, rude and ridiculous. I called to order and the guy who took it said I could come to pick up in 25min, when I came then the receptionist lady who was extremely rude said that there was no order and it was my fault for calling during their busy time and only started to make my order then. What kind of attitude was that? I tried to be as polite as possible but nearly lost my control as the lady kept shouting how busy they were and I had to accept it and wait. It took a long time for me to drive to this restaurant so I had to wait but it was unacceptable and I should honestly leave. A lot of reviews here share same experience as mine. To be fair, the lobster is delicious and the price is good compared to the others, these are why I rate this restaurant 2 stars. However, I won’t come back as the service ruins everything.

Best Chinese restaurant in Toronto. My family comes here every few weeks, and the food is always perfect. Some people might think their service is not great, but that's just how Cantonese people talk. ‍Recommended dishesSweet and Sour Pork, Steamed Sea Bass with Ginger, Maggi Flavoured Lobster, Peking Duck

Came here for my aunts bday lunch and it’s okay. It’s not bad but I have been to other Chinese restaurants with better food.

Very good food, quick service, and cheap prices. Would definitely recommend this place.

Great HongKong style seafood. One of the best Cantonese cuisine in Scarborough area.Food: 5/5

The restaurant has been around for awhile, though it has changed hands and names at some point. The food is still good, and the restaurant is still very obviously popular with a constant stream of patrons, but this most recent visit was only OK in my opinion. The standout was the winter melon soup, which is one of their popular dishes and requires reserving ahead of time. I've always found the restaurant to be a bit crowded, especially since they pack every inch with tables. Since the pandemic, they've closed the one side of the restaurant there used to be a pass-through area to a small second space, so seating is even more limited. Parking is similarly limited in that particular plaza, so expect to spend some time finding a spot. Service is efficient but like many other Chinese restaurants, very to the point/no-nonsense, which may come off as a bit blunt. They were nice, but it was also clear that they were hoping to turn over tables quickly.
