| - We come into Toronto to visit my grandma, so we come pretty often. Toronto has a lot of Chinese food that's for sure, but not a lot of places with THIIIS much seafood. I was a little skeptical because of the 3.5 stars, but I came with the whole family and my brother in law's parents really recommended this place, and I know they know their Chinese food!
So it was for a table of 7, for lunch on a Friday afternoon. No wait, and a pretty nice restaurant. There's two giant dried up shark fin on display with various dried up sea food delicacies. The menu has a lot of options of "prefix sets" -- 7 dishes for 6 people, 3 dishes for 2 people type of thing, and you just choose that and everything comes out, similar to wedding prefixes. We ordered something for 7 people, cause we had 7, but it seriously could have fed 9 or 10 people. I think the price was about $499?? I could be wrong.
If you've had the Vietnamese 7 course beef, this is VERY SIMILAR, but instead of beef, it is crab and lobster. Be careful if you have high cholesterol, but pescatarians rejoice! I seriously have never had crab and lobster done in soooo many ways -- fried in garlic, stir fried in maggie sauce, steamed and buttered, as sashimi!!, and even boiled in soup form!! That's not even all of them. They were all sooo good too, you really can't stop yourself. Good thing they give you gloves so it protects your hands a little, but I didn't use gloves, I wanted to savor the flavor, ahhahaah!
And even more than that, every dish that comes out looks like a spectacle! You really want to photograph every dish! Of course, we are Asian and want to photograph every dish anyway, but the chef really plate it so it brings out a "wow" factor. Pyramid shaped fried rice?? Crab legs spread across a plate like a spider? lobster sashimi over a plate of ice? It's all very beautiful. Every dish that came out, my mom wanted another family photo with the new dish. It became annoying that we had to stop eating to take yet another photo. And we didn't want to keep bothering the waitress. They were bringing out so much food that I had to take a break, a little intermission for my stomach to calm down. MAKE SURE you drink lots of tea/water to help wash it down.
There really wasn't a dish I didn't like, so I recommend pretty much everything -- I think my favorite being the garlicy lobster though. We were licking the shell of the lobster to get more of the garlic flavor. Who doesn't like oil and garlic together?! At the end they give you a small dessert of almond pudding. I think we ate for about a solid hour to hour and a half. There is that much food. My parents were saying how that was a very memorable meal to have had, and yes it was! Just make sure to eat less cholestrol for the rest of the week!
