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.
