For years we used to visit Fancy Chinese Cuisine for dim sum on Sunday afternoons since they opened, but over time the wait time grew longer and longer.
Since COVID I haven’t visited here asides from one takeout trip. I comfortably came for a lunch visit today with my family (prepared for a wait time). To our surprise, there was no wait time at all, we got seated right away!
The place still looks somewhat the same, with new seafood fish tanks, and the tables are spaced out as usual. Some staff have changed but still see a couple familiar faces which is good. Their food still tastes the same, our biggest favourite here was their tofu dessert which they still have (not on the menu) so we must assume the kitchen staff have not changed!
I’ve always recommended them, and continue to do so.

I'm going to Fancy, you might already know. I'm in the fast lane, taking lobster back home!
Fancy Chinese Cuisine is a well-known staple of the neighbourhood. It offers a go-to Lobster Combo takeout meal ($79.95) among others. This meal consists of 2.5 lb twin lobsters, stirred fried vegetables, steamed free-run chicken and choice of a common dish.
Lobster is prepared either w/ ginger & green onion, or in Maggi sauce. Both traditional flavours are equally popular. Cantonese dishes have a way of showcase the ingredients, in this case the naturally sweet succulent seafood. Other dishes aren't that fancy, but this is the star.
For this dinner for 4, steamed chicken carries a clean taste, and c/w the green onion salt dip. Stir fried Chinese broccoli (gai lan) is as simple as that but is still a must. We typically add stir fried beef with king mushroom from an assortment of dishes to round out the meal.
Fancy Chinese Cuisine is situated in a busy Markham plaza. Its bright yellow signage easily catches the eye. The spacious restaurant has a ordering booth upfront. You can call ahead. There was even a takeout cash promo, so we had no reason to cook lobster at home!
My go-to place for dim sum. Quality is really good and the price is still very reasonable. There are special prices for non-prime times, and take-out discount. Expect 30min to 1 hour of wait time. You can call ahead and be put on waitlist before you arrive.
Nicely spaced out tables separated with partitions. Specials are posted at the waiting area with daily specials and promotions. We ordered the dinner set with steamed bass fish and 3 more choices for $95.95, and the veggie special. On-choy was quite crunchy but can barely taste the shrimp paste. Other veggie dishes also kept the greens crunchy. Satay beef with Yu-choy was tender and flavourful. Steamed fish was done well and easy to carve. Mustard sauce beef ribs was really tasty with a bit of spice. Daily soup is not complimentary and a couple of dollars. Overall, dishes have good generous portions and quite tasty. Will come back to try out other dishes or for dim sum.
Nice place, good service, price is good even in Covid. highly recommend you book the table for dinner
We were here for dim sum. The food was really great and price was fair. Service was also good. Would go back for sure and would try their dinner next.
This establishment is one of my go-to restaurants for a value for money meal. The quality is amazing for what it is worth and the portion is extremely generous. My favorite is the beef short rib with honey mustard sauce. It never fails. My second favourite must be the shrimp rice steamed in a bamboo container.
Always make reservation as this place is so popular. You don't want to walk away disappointed.
