Orient Bistro

It was pretty busy but staff kept the lines moving. The food was really good and I feel like . Everything was hot and delicious. I'd say this is one of the better dim sum places I have been to lately.

First time and the experience was a good one. We ordered a fixed dinner pack for 4. Unfortunately the crispy pork wasn't available and replaced with Pee Pa duck which turned out to be pretty tasty. Started with the Lotus soup with spare ribs and red beans and it was a superb start! Soup was piping hot and "sweet", went down well. The other dishes followed were all good except may be for the fish fillet with snow peas, mushroom and muk ee whick was quite bland and unadventurous. The Empress Chicken was impressive - juicy and rich. Luv it. Then the crab arrived and that tops the evening, the dish was well done and we dealt with it no mercy. The vegetable, Chinese brocoli, was sooooo good, cruchy and the garlic soya sauce was just right. Colour was bright. Perfect. By this time, the dinning room was packed with patrons for the evening so it was good advice by the staff that we moved our reservation from 6pm to 5:30pm. We left there 7:10pm after a sweet red peas soup and it rounded off the evening in gastromic harmony. There was a bunch of patrons waiting to get a table. Service was good, waiters and waitresses were attentive and observant. I still missed the crispy pork though! But may be next time!

The good dimsum palace in the area, a lots of choice, always full at weekend. SPecial discount price available before 11am weekdays, Monday to Friday. It's also good at seafood dishes, lunch and dinner special for 3-10 people, you can always find something you like, but better call to book in advance. Parking is not easy, serve is good too

Has a chance to visit the restaurant with a party of 10. We ordered set menu plus a few additional dishes. The food were ok; not the best not the worst. But the value is there comparing to other restaurants in the surrounding. The service however was excellent. We had ribs/lobsters and they kept replacing our dirty dishes with new one. I probably got 5 replacement plates throughout the dinner. The restaurant and washroom as well maintained, no issue there. Recommended if you are looking for meal with value

We were party of 9. We got a set combo and added 2 extra dished for the kids. The taste was ok. The sweet and sour pork didn't really look fresh to me. Also it was only 5:30 and apparently they ran out of duck...so that was disappointing. The bbq pork was a replacement for the duck. It was ok. The lobster was ok. The service was great. They were very attentive. Tried to make everything fit and switched the plates when needed. Atmosphere was alright. The washroom were nice and tidy.

Fantastic tasting dim sum restaurant in Richmond Hill. I wouldn't say I have the highest standards for dim sum, but this really hit the spot. Everything was delicious, authentic and freshly made. They do have a special before 11AM on weekdays, but I probably will never have the pleasure of enjoying it (as it doesn't apply for holidays either). The special is $5.50 for S, M and L dishes - which is a $2 saving per Large dish! The service was okay but could be better. We made a reservation and did have to wait 15 minutes for the table to be ready. After we ordered, it seemed like everything was being made on the spot (which for a dim sum restaurant, is unlikely) due to the pace of the food coming out. Every 5 minutes, a dish would show up - sometimes even longer. It was weird because other tables were getting the same dishes, but before us. Usually dim sum restaurants are more fast paced than this. It was also a bit of a struggle to get refills on tea and water, and I'm pretty sure we didn't end up getting any refills of the tea. Overall it was $196 for a LOT of dishes, which came out to around $28 per person including tax and tip which is fair.

Book online highly recommended! We booked for 10:30a and got our table at 10:30a. Ppl who dont know end up waiting in the lobby and it was a busy lobby. Dim sum is always great here with lots of variety of food, great tasting by dim sum standards.

Amazing Chinese cuisine I just had in Richmond Hill! It was my first time there and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The Lamb Stew was an absolute must-order, especially for the winter in Toronto. So flavorful and comforting! And let me tell you, the steamed pork was incredibly juicy, perfect to pair with some rice. The service was top-notch and they really took care of us. I highly recommend this place for a family gathering. You won't be disappointed!
