Delicacy Kitchen

A friend of mine recently raved about a Chinese restaurant called Delicacy Kitchen and highly recommended I try it, so on my way back from Hamilton, I stopped in for dinner with family. My friend was right. The food was excellent! Even my fussy uncle really loved it! We all started with individual servings of soup - Minced Chicken and Sweet Corn; Shredded Duck; and Chicken Wonton. It was a delicious start to our meal. Our main courses included the House Special Guangzhou Qingxin Chicken, similar to steamed chicken, served cold with a ginger sauce. It was simple and very tasty! Other dishes included Deep Fried Squid with Chili Salt, and Stir-Fried Garlic Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin. Both had excellent flavour, but the beef dish was a standout - very delicious and tender. A simple complimentary dessert completed this delicious meal!! If you're anywhere near Yorkdale Mall, check them out at 2899 Dufferin St, just south of Lawrence Ave W. On-site parking is very limited but spaces are available in nearby plazas.

Delicacy Kitchen is a fantastic dim sum restaurant. Everything we tried was delicious and fresh. The Peking duck was perfectly crispy, and the steamed chicken was incredibly tender. Even their Eel fried rice was outstanding. Of course, the dim sum itself was excellent. The service was also wonderful very helpful and attentive. Highly recommend for a tasty, satisfying meal!

Went there on Saturday night to try the dim sum with the wife as we were craving it badly. At first look we thought that perhaps it was a mistake due to the fact there weren't many people inside but were surprised to find that the food and service was exceptional. The interior was clean and cozy. The service was great as the servers were engaging and helpful. The food tasted really good and was quite large in serving. Some of our favourites were the deep fried squid, steamed shrimp and bbq buns. Price wise it is the same as other dim sum places.(Around $6 to $10) Although we only came to eat the dim sum we will definitely come back to try their other menu items. I will update again at a later time once we have tried them. I recommend you guys to come try it. Ps. There is a special on dim sum between 11am - 4pm.

"A Hidden Gem for Authentic Cantonese Cuisine!" It was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine, and their signature dish—the Qinxin Chicken —is an absolute must-try! The chicken was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, living up to its reputation as the star of the menu. The staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that every need was met. Whether you're a fan of Cantonese cuisine or just looking for a satisfying meal, Qing Xin Ji is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes!

So I am not one to leave reviews but this is sad. I wanted to be a regular customer since I live a few minutes away from this restaurant but I guess this is what it has to come to. I had a issues on Jan 4 with my order which was missing a few wings. The girl I spoke to was nice enough to say next time you order we will compensate that order for messing up. Come today Jan 20th I order dinner but to come home to some old stale wings. Everything else I ordered was ok but the item that was supposed to be replaced was horrible (wings). I had to throw it in the garbage. Guys do better. I even tipped on my take out to show I wasn't there for freeness. I have a lot of foodie social media friends which I will not be advising to come here now. I have never seen soemthing like this before. These things should never happen as I could have gotten sick on the food served. If food health and saftey stepped in to see this served they would not be happy. As a chef myself I am sad to see an establishment serving food would go this far to save a buck. Throw out the stale food do not reuse old chicken wings, god knows if that was left over from someones last order in the resturante and you guys chuck it to the take out orders. So ashamed. I had high hopes for you guys but I guess thats it. Please do better and carry your resturante with pride. Karma won't let you last if your dont. Wish you luck.

Came here for dinner with my family, and we had a great time! The staff are very friendly and attentive, overall service was amazing. The food is also delicious and authentic, my grandma loved their signature chicken and shrimp. We’ll definitely be coming back again!

The service was excellent, and the waitress also gave recommendations about the menu and the dishes. Since I really love dumplings, I ordered three types of them. I didn’t like them much — the meat flavor wasn’t noticeable, and they lacked seasoning and salt. All types of dumplings tasted bland, just like plain dough. But the presentation was great.

The Qingxin Chicken here is absolutely the best I’ve ever had—hands down my favorite! 🐔✨ Their other stir-fry dishes are also incredibly delicious, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this place if you love authentic, tasty food!

I am just wowed by this place. Growing up eating at Chinese restaurants all my life this js one of the best Chinese spots. And I was a little skeptical at first being in the yorkdale area but man was I was wrong and ate my words. Literally. I was so impressed with the quality of the food and the service was amazing as well. It's a small place but can accommodate big groups also. And bonus they serve ALL DAY DIM SUM. which I need to comeback for.

Really decent dim sum and good service! My bf and I came here on a Sunday afternoon right after they opened and we ordered: - steamed shrimp dumplings - siu mai - bbq pork bun with honey sauce - pan fried turnip cake - steamed sticky rice with chicken - stir fried noodle rolls with soy sauce - bbq minced pork fried rice and I really enjoyed the dishes. I think the dim sum could've been hotter, the shrimp dumplings were more room temperature than steaming. The fried noodle rolls were actually my favourite as they had a really nice bounce and chew. The fried rice was on the dry side but still tasty. Honestly, it was a lot of food and for the price, I felt the dim sum satisfied our craving.

Oh boy the food here is an exercise in mediocrity. I fell for the same trap as read the article in a local magazine and word to the wise don't follow places that run solely on adverts or get paid to write. The rolls that were on promo are almost inedible. The soup was OK. I enjoyed the the egg plant dish somewhat. The chicken dishes tasted almost the same with a spice or item to distinguish one from the other somewhat. Now that my go to delivery spot for this type food has closed (sadly the splurge worthy spots also closed downtown) the search for a replacement continues.

Surprised to see all the negative reviews, as I had an enjoyable lunch here. Located in the Yorkdale area, it's nice to have another option for dim sum! My fave is the steamed chicken with ginger sauce on the side. It was cooked perfectly and tasted so good with the ginger sauce! The various dim sum dishes we tried were excellent as well. Would come back again after a shopping trip at Yorkdale!

We were impressed with the service, the food is delicious. The staff lovely. The bok chop is like none other I have tried in Chinese restaurants. We highly recommend this restaurant!! Great for take out as well. In case you miss the location, it is just south Lady York and City Fish. Dufferin and Glencairn area. Don't miss it!! Wish I had taken photos!!

The dumplings were delicious, the service attentive, the price more than fair: will definitely be back soon!

I don't like leaving bad reviews, as every business is someone's livelihood and maybe even dream. But this restaurant honestly doesn't cut it in a sea of great Chinese restaurants in the city. Every dish we ordered was mediocre at best and slightly overpriced (for what you get), even the specialty chicken dish tasted like it's been in the fridge for a little too long. The decor and service was alright, nothing to complain about. I just wouldn't return given much better options around.

This new restaurant has the best peeking duck in Toronto, awesome food, very good service, enjoyed my time here

Delicious food that I and friends have picked up before and did it again today. Such amazing selection, prices, and even a discount for picking up.

I visited after Yorkdale and didn't expect to enjoy such authentic asian food in the area. It was flavourful and the prawns were nice and crispy. The price is good as the portions are big. Also, the server Terrance was exceptional throughout our entire stay. He recommended the Guangzhou Qingxin Chicken for us to try next time. Overall, great experience! I will definitely be back

Very average quality, skimpy portions and relatively expensive. Will not be returning for sure...

DO NOT GO...You can find much better taste and hygiene Cantonese restaurants in Toronto. Their special chicken is merely a steamed chicken with no taste. Dimsum here are particular BAD. Frozen dim sum from the supermarket is better than them. The manager also stinks....you have free body odours every time he walks close by. Black listed restaurant

Nice family restaurant with tasty food. Went in at 5:50, got served immediately and had food on the table by 6:15. Extremely friendly staff. The food was really tasty, I recommend the garlic black pepper beef and the sweet and sour crispy chicken. I enjoyed my meal and they gave our table a free mango yogurt dessert at the end which was a nice touch!

You may have heard of this restaurant from Toronto Life magazine like we did. Supposed to be known for their chicken and peking duck. Not sure what the hype was about. The article was published in March and said the restaurant was new but the inside didn't look new and there was a musty smell. The location was decent but not worth the drive if you are coming from out of Toronto. It was strange how guests were not permitted to sit in the other diningroom but were directed towards the room next to the windows. I thought the other diningroom was closed because there weren't a lot of customer the evening that we were there, it turned out other people that came after us were seated in the other diningroom! Anyhow there were 3 tables with guests plus us so it wasn't a busy night. This Chinese restaurant isn't your typical restaurant, it offered some Thai items, Vietnamese items, Japanese items and even Dim sum! We ordered a few dishes: soup, lo mein noodle with beef, Chinese broccoli with garlic and Szechuan chicken and the first dish that arrived was the soup. The rest of the dishes took a long time and the only dish we enjoyed was the Chinese broccoli with garlic. The soup was good but came luke warm, the Szechuan chicken and the lo mein noodle with beef dish both lacked salt and the lo mein noodle was soggy and the veggies were overcooked. The table next to us came for the qingxin chicken (aka Steamed chicken with spices) the chef's specialty and they were disappointed, it tasted like any steamed/boiled chicken you get at any Chinese restaurant, nothing special. Glad we didn't ordered a lot of dishes and appreciated the warning from the table next to us and happy we didn't ordered the qingxin chicken. The service was average, the waiter was not attentive enough so asking for hot sauce and the bill took a long time. The price of the food was on the higher end and the food portions were good but it wasn't good Chinese food that we were hoping for. We had high hopes for Delicacy Kitchen but we were left disappointed and don't plan on coming back here.

Today I and my wife decided to give it a try, since it is close to our neighbourhood. It is the first time I write a review, and I was reluctant to start a bad one. We ordered a sea food soup as appetizer, and a peking duck/half. The waiter served the peking duck first. When we asked for the soup, he said that we had to wait a little longer. Then he started cutting small (very small indeed) pieces, most of which was of duck skin. The portion was way to small for that price, $40, nothing like the photo in the menu. Then he took the rest of it and disappeared in the kitchen. A second later arrived a waitress, and served the soup in silence. At that point we hadn't finished the so called peking duck yet. The waiter showed up again with something that in the menu is described as the second course of the peking duck, served in lettuce. What we experienced, it was a sort of fast food with fried veggies, and a number of unidentified very small pieces of meat, particles, supposedly from the second part of the peking duck. The quality of the second course was worse than the first one. To make this first and the last experience profoundly unpleasant, the waiter charged us over $40 more. At that time we were the only costumers in the restaurant. We wish we could have something nice to say, except for the decor.

Checked the restaurant out this afternoon with my family based on their great reviews, and true enough, it was awesome! Their cold chicken dish with ginger sauce which is their specialty, was super tasty....so were all the dim sum dishes we ordered. The deep fried pumpkin is a must -try! We will definitely be back.

Excellent and quiet place - had a really good dinner - Peking duck was great - ample servings esp of the noodle and rice dishes. Good appetizer dishes. Definitely worth checking out. Enthusiastic and friendly staff and owner. Will definitely be coming back. It is pretty conveniently located and seemed to be getting a good take out business in addition to dine-in when we were there.

Followed the chefs' recommendations and every dish was delicious! Great attentiveness by the staff, couldn't ask for more. Couldn't finish all the food and loved the desserts. Will definitely be back

Fairly new resteraunt so we decided to check it out - we only got dim sum but everything we tried was amazing. Every dish was unique and perfectly cooked. The eel puff pastry, fried sticky chicken dumpling and the fried beef buns were my favourite items - they really stood out to me. They gave us complementary mango dessert which I would also recommend. We loved the service - the staff were attentitive and friendly, the interior was also aesthetically pleasing & the pricing was moderate.
