Jumbo Lobster Restaurant

We visited recently for dinner and ordered a combo that included a 3 lb lobster, a 1 lb steak, and vegetables. We also added the sweet and sour pork and crab fried rice. Overall, the food was quite good, I especially enjoyed the steak and the fried rice. The steak was cooked prefect (medium rare), the fried rice was had crispy crab bites in it. The sweet and sour pork was flavorful and very crispy, though the portion felt a bit small for the $24 price point. Unfortunately, the service detracted from the overall experience. The staff came across as dismissive, and we frequently had to ask for basic items like water refills, utensils, getting their attention so we could order, etc. After we paid, we asked a question, but the staff simply walked away, it was unclear whether they didn’t hear us or chose not to respond. Interestingly, the tables around us seemed to receive much more attentive service. It left us wondering whether it was due to our order being being the cheapest combo on the menu (it was still over $200 though). They automatically charge a 12% gratuity to the bill which is fine but if you’re going to do that then I believe you should have better service. I really wished their service was better because I quite enjoyed the food. Given that this is positioned as a more upscale and relatively pricey restaurant, we expected a higher standard of service.

An unforgettable feast at Jumbo Lobster Restaurant! We ordered the mountain of fried lobster, and it was nothing short of jaw-dropping. Perfectly seasoned, crispy, and succulent with every bite — this was truly a showstopper both in presentation and flavor. The portion was incredibly generous and ideal for sharing with a group. The ambiance was upscale yet comfortable, and the service was attentive and efficient. The attention to detail, from plating to garnishing with fresh lettuce and scallions, made it feel like a luxury dining experience without the pretentiousness. If you’re a seafood lover or just want to impress a table of guests, this is the dish to order — and this is the place to be. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to come back! 🦞🔥

Food was great but price can be a bit better. We went for King Crab Dinner which came with Crab in 2 courses and a steak. They came to show us the live crab and checked with us the size, if okay with paying extra for weight over 6lbs. Overall service was not great but not terrible either. Food wise, the soup was not that good. Steak was really good! It’s close to few good steak houses I have been to in GTA. Was surprised by they offered such good steak. Steamed Crab was also good, fresh and authentic… well, you cannot expect anything else from steamed crab… baked crab body was good as well, not over fried and it kept its taste really well. Vegetables were okay, over fried. Setting was impressive. Like a display of aged steak and seafood. A nice experience and food quality was great. Service was okay. I think it’s a bit overpriced but reasonable for such food and environment.

The new location is a massive upgrade compared to the old one! It's super spacious, and the upscale decor really sets the mood. Everywhere you look, there are stylish touches that make the place feel high-end. Honestly, it might just have some of the best interior vibes for a restaurant of its kind. One of the coolest features? Crab and lobster tanks scattered all around the dining area. It gives the space a lively, fresh-from-the-sea vibe that seafood lovers will absolutely adore. And the food? Oh, it's literally a seafood paradise. They've got all sorts of King Crab, lobsters, and other fresh seafood options for you to enjoy. They have fridges all around the dining floor with steaks, wagyu beef, and ribeye, in them. What a cool restaurant layout to show off their expensive inventory. If you swing by for lunch, you'll find a pretty solid dim sum combo menu with tons of variety to choose from. It's perfect if you want something lighter but still packed with flavor. Many regulars say the lunch menus are an even better bang for your buck compared to the dinner options, so that's worth keeping in mind. As for the prices, they're reasonable when you consider the top-notch quality of both the food and the dining experience. It's definitely an upscale spot, but it's worth it--especially if you're into seafood and want to treat yourself or someone special. Overall, this place delivers a fantastic seafood dining experience. Whether you're coming for the vibrant atmosphere, the fresh tanks of seafood, or the perfectly aged meats, you're in for a treat. It's no wonder people rave about this spot. Next time you're craving seafood or want a dining experience that feels a little extra fancy, give this restaurant a shot. With its awesome decor, great food, and reasonable pricing for what's on offer, it's bound to leave you impressed. And hey, if you're looking for the best value, lunch might be your sweet spot!

Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Jumbo Lobster Restaurant. Food was tasty and prices were very reasonable. They serve their tea in fancy teapots that have their own individual burner. There are dry aged steak and many wine bottles displayed throughout the restaurant. The basic dim sum dishes were all in all pretty good. I didn't get to try everything but from what we ordered, the food was excellent. It gets busy here so make reservations in advance.

Jumbo Lobster was an amazing dining experience. The dry aged steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, and the lobster was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was very enjoyable with high ceilings and dim lighting that created a relaxed vibe. The waiters were quick, attentive, and kind with every request. This is a great spot if you’re coming with a group since they offer a wide range of combo options for different group sizes. Highly recommend.

The place is quite large with many hundreds of seating capacity. We went for a dinner on a weekday. You need a reservation. It’s full. Ambiance looks good. Large table that accommodated six of us comfortably. We were able to chat. The place was loud enough and others cannot hear what you speak. They gave 15% off if you have one senior in your group and for birthdays. Food was good size. I would recommend to check it out.

Most impressive decor of any Chinese restaurant I've dined at in Toronto and the fact that this place is enormous makes it more impressive. Service staff was poor. How can the waiter not know where their steaks are from or what type/grade? Eating lobster, no wet naps? Order a steak and no knives? Service aside, the steak was phenomenal and the sweet sour pork was pretty good. The lobster wasn't bad but nothing to rave about.

Overall, I was very happy with my experience at Jumbo Lobster Restaurant. Food was tasty and prices were very reasonable.

We went here to celebrate a birthday in the family. Positives: Food was good. We had 16 oz aged steak, HK Style 5lbs lobster that came with Soup of the Day with Snow Pea leaves and Steamed fish. Negatives: For a gourmet restaurant a little thought could make the experience for customers. - One plate was dirty we had to ask to replace it. - Steak came out first instead of soup first. - We had to ask for extra plates to put lobster / Fish bones. They cleared the plates once. - When we finished we asked for dessert and final bill by calling for service. - They advertise 15% discount for birthdays abd showed ID to manager. When bill came out there was only 5% discount and we asked for correction. - They take cash only and had to ask for change after 15 mi utes of waiting. They already included 12% tip but it should be at the duscretion of service provided to customer. - this is not a gourmet restaurant as the food is mass produced and the service people looked under a lot of stress. This is reflected in the dessert which were diamond shaped custards which is worst I ever had. I would not go back because of poor customer experience. I got a sense they just dont understand how important service is in a gourmet restaurant.

Weekly dim sum time with family is always the best! I love this resto and their angus beef rice rolls are one of the most delicious ones I've had in my life! Enjoyed every dish here and the restaurant is filled and busy in the parking lot which tell you that it's definetely a decent place considering the economy and market at this time (Aug 2025). Dim sum is $5.99 ea Mon-Fri, $6.99 ea on public holidays, Sat & Sun. Senior 15% discount from Mon-Fri on all cash payment for lunch on dim sum and lunch seafood combos. This is one of my top restaurant for dim sum while you get thr quality and value. Tea quality is also great, on par with Luna Private Banquet. Must order: *Angus beef rice roll *Shrimp spring roll (with salad dressing) *Octopus in braised sauce *Sticky rice in lotus wrap *Shrimp rice roll *Bean curd roll with assorted meat Come and enjoy dim sum if your a dim sum lover like me!

Went when they were doing a big grand opening special a while back. Got the Lobster HK Style Dinner for (2-3) which included a 4lb lobster, sweet and sour pork, steamed bass, poached snow pea tips and dessert. We also got their promotion steak and a roasted pig on the side. Obviously a ton of food and the highlights definitely were the lobster and roasted pig in terms of taste but I found the lobster and steak to be incredibly oily. They used a ton of butter which just made it extremely heavy and filling. The sweet and sour pork, bass and snow pea tips were nothing to write home about, just alright. My mom did get an upset stomach after this I think from it being really oily overall. It's an ok place but there's definitely a lot of options in the area for this style of Lobster dinner that will be better than Jumbo Lobster.

Ambiance - amazing space, love seeing the live seafood tanks and the dry aging steaks, can accommodate small to large parties Service - exceptional service & food came out super quickly Food - steamed egg white with king crab is a abs must get, Maggie style lobster to die for

This place you must experience to understand a Jumbo Lobster Experience. At about 11am, i visited Jumbo Lobster with two colleagues. We ordered a rice dish and a noodle dish with tea: $35.00 for 3, and walked out with enough food for another person. This place is Cheap not expensive! Yes there is a CAD 999.00 item, for 15 people! Food is spectacular! Service is a little slower than expected, but ok. Atmosphere is amazing: Huge, Dark Cavernous room with modern decor, walls lined with aquariums for lobsters and live crabs. Large comfortable seats. I'm telling you, this is a place you'll remember for a lifetime! Highly recommend!

The interior was very nice and dim, they also have 2nd floor seating. I really wished their service was better because I quite enjoyed the food. Given that this is positioned as a more upscale and relatively pricey restaurant, we expected a higher standard of service.

Booking a table was easy as you just call in to the front desk which was well staffed. This place is gigantic with a dark moody and modern aesthetic lined with tables and walls ordained in wine fridges, dry aged steak fridges full of rib eyes or tanks and tanks of Alaskan crab, jumbo lobsters and live seafood. What a difference from the gold palace vibes from the previous Chinese restaurant. The tables are all round which is excellent for family style sharing and I liked how each table had another small side table to put the teapot, utensils and supplies. service was great and the manager was very hands on and helpful with the menu and throughout the service. The menu has a ton of options but there are combos with assortments of lobster, crab, steamed fish, roasted pig, dry aged steaks, etc. few comments about the menu: they only had one type of veggie available with no substitutions (understandable as they're serving like tons of tables). Rice needed to be added on. They don't have many add ons options (unless you order a la carte) so we chose their fried sweet and sour pork as add on protein. Now onto the food. Since I'm a dry aged steak lover, I HAD to try their rib eye. It came out nicely seared medium on a hot plate with some candles underneath (Peter Luger style) surrounded by herbs on either side and cloves of garlic (better presentation). The steak had good flavor and I liked it with their cooked garlic but I wish they offered some flaky salt. If you want it to be more cooked you can sear it on the plate. Steamed fish- on the smaller side and butterflied on the stomach for presentation. Cooked to perfection, tender with classic Chinese sauces. Jumbo lobster- we got the lobster done two ways... steamed and HK style. The steamed lobster was very clean and I liked how they laid out all the pieces so it's easy to eat. The hk style was their signature fried lobster in garlic chips and spices. The fries are crispy but really salty. Crab- my family loved the salted egg yolk crab. Fried on the outside but soft crabby meat on the inside! Great umami flavor from the salted egg yolk. Sweet and sour pork- usual flavor but the pieces used were way too fatty (approx 90% fat and 10% meat). It's Juicy and tasty, don't get me wrong but also fried to the point where it's a bit hard. Nothing to be missed here. Dessert- a plate full of cooling jellies. Small plate and wish there was more variety but makes sense since they're serving a lot of people and it probably helps balance the Yeet Hay from all the fried food you just consumed Overall great experience. Some portions are small. I would like to come back to try other items on their menu or try their dim sum. Great place for bringing family or out of town guests.

4.5/5 rounds up to 5 stars. Excellent meal! We had the 2-3 people combo for soup, lobster (3lb), 16 oz dry aged steak with snow pea tips and mushroom. Food was delicious. Surprised the lobster mountain is surrounded by fries rather than little fishes, nonetheless it was tasty! Service was ok, restaurant looks cool, with racks of dry age beef racks all over. Now where did they lose their 1/2 star? Dessert and rice. Unlike Chinese restaurants, dessert is lacking, as a small plate of 4 pieces of jello for the table. Most tables just walk out not even touching the desserts. Rice took the entire meal before it was delivered (quite surprising coz all other dishes were speedily ready) lol Now, something extra to share. Check out my photos on 15% off on birthday and for seniors.

Don't let the name fool you; don't just order lobster! Make sure you get the ribeye too! This Chinese version of surf and turf is amazing! The ribeye was cooked perfectly and was finished perfectly with butter, rosemary and thyme. And the fried lobster mountain with fries and lettuce was so addictive! The one part of the restaurant name that is accurate is Jumbo. The space is jumbo, the mountain is jumbo, the displays of beef, pigs and seafood is jumbo! Perfectly jumbo! We ordered the lobster dinner for 3-4, which was CDN$388 and came with a soup, steak, lobster mountain, snow peas and mushrooms, dessert and a French wine. We substituted fried rice for the wine because we cannot have Asian food without rice. It was the right decision. Some Yelpers complain that the price is high but maybe because I am from NY, I was pleasantly surprised. 2 lbs of aged ribeye at a NY restaurant would probably be US$150-200 and 5 lbs of lobster; fuggedaboudit! So this is a bargain for us NYers! Almost everything was great so why only 4 stars (would actually like to give 4.5 stars)? As others have mentioned, service is a bit slow. You have to aggressively flag down people to get service; otherwise you will be ignored. We now know better so will be even more aggressive next time. And there will definitely be a next time!

It's a restaurant made for large gatherings, even a table of four is too tiny. Otherwise, it'd be difficult to order one of their two lunch menus where charges are based on the size of the lobster: $35/lb for 5lbs+ and $36/lb for 10lbs+. While the price difference is minimal, the surcharge for the 10lb+ meal allows diners to have the lobster prepared two ways and arrives with additional dim sum dishes (eight vs. five). The 10lb+ lunch menu (or L2 for $36/lb) includes lobster, eight dim sum, congee, fried rice, and a vegetable dish. Out of the stir-fried green onion and ginger and deep-fried dry garlic lobsters, I preferred the traditional onion and ginger as the crustacean's flavours were more pronounce and felt juicier and plumper. Despite the mountain of ingredients filling the deep-fried garlic version, it just tasted salty with a hint of sweetness. I can see the dish being favoured by children as it sits on a bed of French fries, which were kind of stale given they're prepared ahead of time. Any lobster tomalley is reserved for the lobster roe and shrimp fried rice, which was prepared well. The dish had decent wok hay, and the rice dry enough so there were distinct granules of grain. It was so good that our table finished the entire plate. To balance the heavier items, there's a generous portion of poached snow pea tips with goji berry, which were stir fried until tender but still crispy and fresh. After ordering it does take about 30 minutes before dishes arrive - an anomaly at dim sum where things normally start flying in as soon as the menu is whisked away. In fact, the first item presented isn't even dim sum, rather a large bowl of chicken congee that's piping hot and contains tons of bone-in skin-on chicken. It's a hearty and flavourful way to begin. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.

Realistically I know a Jumbo Lobster can never exist on Long Island, it requires a huge space in a frequented location. We happened upon this restaurant because the sister restaurant is closed for renovations. I imagine the other is a 5 star experience also but as I do not have a reference point, this was absolutely the best meal we had while on our second foodie trip to Toronto. Let me start with the magnificence of the building from outside. It stretches wide and high. I thought it strange that the restaurant looked to be 2-3 stories high. Upon walking in, the ceilings were high and the walls were filled with tanks of lobsters and crabs, racks of dry aged beef and whole suckling pigs, and rows of different high quality wines. The ambiance was impressive with each table round to be able to accommodate small and large groups of conversation, black ceilings and walls, and lighting to highlight the tables. Although there were many tables, all filled, we never felt crowded or forgotten by the waitstaff. They were efficient, attentive but not overbearing. Now to our meal, we were a party of 4 so we ordered #5 Lobster and Double Ribeye Steak Dinner for 3-4 people. Since I was the only wine drinker of the group we asked to replace the wine and they provided shrimp fried rice. After our order, they rolled out a container with our 5+ pound lobster for us to "approve". Dinner was a clear soup, perfect medium rare dry aged ribeye, snow pea tips with king mushrooms, shrimp fried rice and a tower of lobster and French fries. The lobster was separated into pieces and fried in a batter with the shell. This was by far my favorite meal amongst all of the different restaurants we tried during our 2 recent trips to Toronto. The ambiance, the service, the presentation and the taste of the dishes were all 5 star. Definitely a place you want to visit for a special occasion. We went on an early Wednesday evening and the place was packed! Lol, I am coveting the chopstick holder, it is wide enough to hold chopsticks, spoon, fork and knife!

This place looks SOOOO fancy (I said this about their old location on woodbine but damn....) Taking over Premier Ballroom Convention Center, the inside of the resto looks like a palace dining hall now. You've got walls lined w/ vintage wines and dry aging fridges containing slabs of beef. Dinner fare is much like it was before at the original location but they've got steak as a cool new addition to some of the set combo meals now. We weren't asked how we wanted the steak in our combo set to be cooked, but it arrived medium rare so that was great. Out of curiosity, we asked the waiter how much the steak would cost if we ordered it a la carte and not as part of the set. He told us ~ $100. Holy helllll. That's even more expensive than my go-to 24 oz bone-in ribeye at Peter's in markham. HELL TO THE NO would I ever order this a la carte LOL. Finally got to try suckling pig as I had wanted to try it at their original location but missed out. Very crispy and the meat was tender. Can't get suckling pig at the sister resto, Fishman so it's unique to Jumbo. The jellos are still being served for dessert at dinner. The most underwhelming, bland letdown those things are. Such a shame they won't bring back the premium dessert soups.

When you step into the Jumbo Lobster restaurant, you're greeted by a dark black decor and large display cases of aged beef and red wine. But ignore the steakhouse vibes, the best dish here is the eponymous jumbo lobster. One of the best deals (at lunch time) is a combo of a jumbo lobster over vegetables noodles, and five dim sum dishes from their full dim sum menu. Lobsters are very well-executed in your choice of preparation (green onion/ginger or maggie sauce being the most popular); lobster meat was perfectly cooked -- neither soft nor over-cooked. The dim sum dishes are decent. Most were typical/average, with the fried squid tentacles a standout. Something unique about this restaurant is many dim sum dishes come in 6s rather than 4s, which is useful when eating with a slightly larger group. Service is excellent, as you'd expect for a high-end Chinese restaurant with this decor and ambience. It's busy, even at lunch time on a weekday, so definitely make a reservation.

Love this place...too bad it's so far from home. Everything is so fresh and cooked to perfection. The sea bass wi th Maggie sauce was unbelievably amazing. Steamed king crab legs - so easy to eat- simple but so delicious. The dry aged steak was tender and well seasoned and prepared. And lastly the Hong Kong style lobster was fried with salty egg and nice crispy fries. The service was okay but the food totally makes up for it. Make reservations as the restaurant was completely packed on a Saturday night.

The food was great. We had soup, two types of lobster, vermicelli noodles, steamed fish, rib eye steak, and vegetables. The service staff was attentive. The dining room is quite a sight with aquariums lined up on the perimeter. Staff member will bring your selection of lobster or king crab to your table before preparing it. There's plenty of parking. Will return if in Toronto again.

The food is always good, the decor is nice and the restaurant is spacious but the service isn't that great compared to other lobster mountain restaurant. For how much each meal is the service is lacking. You'll have to ask for plate changes or for forks or other utensils to eat the crab/lobster with, sometimes finding staff is hard. There's quite a few promotions going on so check for that before going.

I liked this place ! Came here before the name change and then again twice when it opened as Jumbo Lobster and I was definitely impressed I loved the vibe and the black decor . It gave off elegance ! ! It looked more like a steak house than a Chinese restaurant lol . They also do decorations for special occasions. Ie the second time we came here was the weekend of Valentine's Day and they had red balloons decorations. So pretty ! I also loved that the dim sum dishes mostly come with 4-6 pieces . So instead of needing to order two of the same thing .. a 1 order 6 pieces would do it for a larger group . Taste wise .. I liked the dim sum dishes more than the dinner dishes ! For the frequent fliers or people that go to dim sum often .. this place does give out coupon discount vouchers with certain orders ! Lastly .. they take reservations which makes me a happy camper lol .. Would definitely return :)

Came in for a nice dinner on a friday night. Restaurant was not busy (compare to a weekend lunch) pricing did increase on their set menu compared to when we went two months ago though. Lobster and crab were delicious. We ordered a combo for 5-6 people and it included: steak, lobster, crab, steam fish, soup and veggie; we added a fried rice and sweet snd sour pork as well, Service was attentive and always coming to clean out plates when full. will definitely be returning!

WOW! I recently had dinner with friends at Jumbo Lobster in Richmond Hill and we were very impressed! The decor is nice and classy, the food was exquisitely delicious, and the service was outstanding! They even had attendants in the parking lot, directing patrons to available spaces. The dining room has ultra high ceilings, intimate lighting, walls of wine, live seafood, and refrigerated showcases showing off their prime beef. Very well done! Our meal included the very popular Lobster Mountain, Dungeness Crab in Salted Egg Yolk, Prime Beef, Suckling Pig, Sautéed Vegetables, Lobster Fried Rice, Steamed Fish, Silkie Chicken Claypot Soup, and Dessert. Every dish was nicely presented, with the fish being portioned at our table. The house soup, with chicken, was very flavourful, and enough for each of us to have seconds. Great start! Our first main course, the steak, arrived on a sizzling platter, with herbs, and live flames keeping it warm. It was cooked medium rare, as we requested. That was soon followed by the suckling pig. Both dishes were tender and delicious. Impressive! The live lobsters and crab were presented to us before being cooked. All claws and legs were intact. They came back to us cooked and piled high in a nice presentation, with the lobster covered in crispy garlic flakes and fries. There is no elegant way to eat shellfish to we just dug in with our hands. So delicious! The fish, vegetables, and fried rice were all delicious. Dessert, thankfully, was a light and flavourful gelatin. We were stuffed and ended up taking home some of the lobster, suckling pig, fried rice, and vegetables. Nothing was wasted! Besides all the delicious food, the service was outstanding, We were attended by several staff, all with pleasant conversation and smiles. Our dining plates were swapped several times throughout our meal, our water glasses and teacups were never empty, and we always had extra napkins. Kudos to the staff! I highly recommend this place! Check them out!

Sometimes bigger isn't better. It pains me to say this as a long time fan of Jumbo Lobster Restaurant. This is the popular offspin of ever-popular FLC. They recently moved to Richmond Hill to an even larger venue, that is dark and sleek compared to the prior location. Whereas we enjoyed the Lobster, Crab & Fish combo on our first visit, they have now revamped their entire dinner menu to incorporate dry-aged over 20 days steak along with a price increase and/or smaller lobster. If you enjoy sizzling ribeye steak it's a good fill-up but we came for lobster! Furthermore, everything else was a step down from what we've come to expect. The 4lb lobster mountain impressed but the batter was not fully cooked through in some parts. The 2.5 crab in salted egg yolk was particularly salty. The lobster roe fried rice added shrimp but the rice was clumpier than it should be crisp. Even the service was inattentive compared to past experience. The only thing going for the dinner experience is the vibe. Otherwise it's more expensive for less quality and extra steak now. For the price, I will sadly go elsewhere for seafood dinner next time.

Every time I come visit Toronto, this has been my go to place when I come up to Toronto. I look forward to eating here. The interior of this place is amazing. Rows of wines hang along the wall. Dryaged beef on display. So many tables in this place. It almost makes you feel like you were transported to a fancy palace. Now, I ordered double lobster dinner for 5-6 people. According to the staff both of my lobsters weighed together about 9lbs. We had one lobster steamed and one lobster in Hong Kong style (lobster mountain). This set menu comes with soup, 32oz dry aged steak, snow peas leaves, lobsters and dessert. My soup was nothing special. It was a chicken soup with a lot of msg added. Next was the steak. The steak didn't disappoint. It was very beefy! The snow pea leaves were good. The veggies came in a good broth. It was tasty. For dessert, we had mango jello. I was surprised wasn't super sweet. Good bounce and texture. Finally, the lobsters. Lobster mountain was amazing and worth ordering. The deep fried batter goes perfectly with the lobster. I don't recommend ordering lobster steamed. The meat got dry out really quickly. It almost tasted like rubber. Now, I had to knockoff one star from them. They said I had 9lbs of lobsters(1 lobster 4lbs and 1 lobster 4.9lbs). The lobster mountain seems right but when the steamed lobster came out, it looked like I was missing a few pieces or they gave me a smaller lobster. Just don't like getting ripped off Overall, I recommend trying this place. The food is tasty and service is excellent

Thursday evening dinner and this place is still packed... Make sure you make a booking because you still going to be waiitng, just less time. The inside is massive and fully renovated The walls of the main hall are lined with wine fridges and dry aging fridges. Service was as expected in a chinese restaurant, but kinda bad for a restaurant of this pricepoint. For example, we had to flag down servers multiple times to get more tea. Moreover the menu will include a certain weight of seafood. You will get charged if the seafood weighs more. They seem to always stock seafood that is heavier than expected, so expect the additional fees and you can always ask for a different seafood that weighs less. Steak - They didn't ask how we wanted it prepared, but it came out as a medium rare. It was cooked well with loads of butter around it. Not a big steak guy, so nice to try. Suckling pig - Crispy skin and juicy pork. It was good for seafood restaurant. Snow crab legs - Steamed snow crabs with egg whites. Crab was meaty and seems fresh. The meat had some delicate sweetness that was brought out by steaming. Lobster - We got the traditional hk ginger scallion fried lobster. It was pretty typical, not as good as the golden sand style but a staple in all seafood restaruants. This was cooked up to starndard. Sea bass Fish - This is also pretty much a standard at seafood restaurants in the area. Steamed fish was cooked well, paired with a soy sauce that compliments the fish. Snow pea leaves - Pretty average Fried rice - Below average, lacked flavour even though they used crab 'juices' as part of the fried rice.

This New location they moved to has a fine dining atmosphere with wine cabinets, dry aged steaks, and seafood aquariums across all the walls. Seating is comfortable and high end, and there is so much attention to detail regarding the decor such as the waffle ceilings, Asian lion statues, and attractive light fixtures. As for the food, everything was amazing. Steak was high quality and dry aged for tenderness. Rice rolls were on point. Snow pea shoots were executed perfectly. The fried wontons are a must try as well. Will be coming back.

We visited just before the tax break in December and noticed that all the prices on the menu went up compared to the week before. The meal we had planned to order which included a sweet & sour pork and diced beef tenderloin stir-fry was replaced with a meal that substituted dry-aged steak instead for a higher cost. We ordered a set dinner meal and added on the suckling pig as we were celebrating a birthday. Although they stated that the suckling pig must be paid for in cash, the server informed us that the entire meal would now have to be cash including the set meal. Since this was not written on the menu, we had to send someone to the bank to withdraw money. The ambiance was luxurious, with dark green seats, black walls, and seafood tanks lining the back wall, as well as dry-aged meat on display behind glass. Our meal consisted of a soup of the day, dry-aged prime steak, crispy fish, a lobster mountain with fries, snow pea tips with goji berries, lobster roe fried rice, and the suckling pig. The steak was super tender and perfectly cooked, served on a plate with candles underneath so that you could continue cooking it to your liking. The skin on the pork was crispy, though the meat was a bit thin. The lobster was nice and garlicky, paired with fries and garlic chips. The fish was okay, but quite bony and difficult to eat - not my favourite. At the end of the meal, we had some small desserts.

As an American, this place is good value and tasted decent. The ambiance was fancy and was a spot you'd bring your family to to impress them. Service was really good too. The steak is a little bland tbh but the crab was good. Lobster was good too but a little sweet and the French fries were interesting concept. I would skip the fish. The set dinners were overall pretty good - it was my number one most anticipated restaurant to try in Toronto and it did not disappoint!

We really enjoyed our dinner here! We usually like their sister restaurant Fishman, but since they are under renovation, we went to Jumbo Lobster. Reservations are a MUST as it's super busy. We were seated right away for our reservation time. The restaurant is very fancy and sleek, perfect for dinner but a little dark. Service was very good as well. Onto dinner, we ordered a combo with lobsters, steak, fried rice, soup, snow peas etc. Everything tasted so good although the rice was slightly dry and not very hot. Overall our group really enjoyed our dinner although I feel the Fishman combos seem better value.

Let's just get this out of the way. Jumbo Lobster is one the best Cantonese restaurants that I've been to in North America. They are located in the Toronto area in Richmond Hill. Unlike Chinese restaurants in the 626 (Southern California) where reservations are hardly ever made, my wife and I made reservations. It was a good thing that we made the reservations as we visited during a holday. They had a line of people out the door. The restaurant was not just huge, but, it was grand. It was bigger than any restaurant that I've been to in Southern California. The decor was top notch and modern. They had booth seating and tables. We came here thinking that we would get the lobster mountain, but, we ended up getting their lobster combo for 2-4 people. Yeah, there were only 2 of us. The lobster combo came with a lobster noodle, a lobster congee, and a choice of 4 dim sum dishes. Everything we ordered was fantastic! The dimsum, unlike California, came with 6 to an order. We had plenty of food and could not eat all of it. The combo is a very good deal. The service was nice and attentive. It was a great meal at a great restaurant. I'm pretty sure I will visit again when in the Toronto area.

I came here for brunch during the holiday season. I arrived around 11:30, the place was full but didn't have to wait for a table. The dim sum + lobster combo was a pretty good deal! It came out to be around $40-50 per person and we left with leftovers. The food was overall pretty good and portions were large. The service was so good and really has a high end ambiance. I would definitely take friends and family here.

Jumbo Lobster Restaurant serves a variety of seafood dishes in Cantonese style. They are famous (as you may have seen on social media) for the large lobster tower. I found the food quite good, salted well but not overly so. We ordered the set menu and the ribeye was, in my opinion, the highlight of the menu. Everything was pretty solid though. The service was pretty good when I went. Here are some things to keep in mind: - Be sure to make a reservation. This place gets extremely busy. - Get the set menus, and add on dishes if you like. The sets are usually better value. - For some sets, the price is quoted for a specific weight of the lobster/crab, and any weight over is charged per lb, so keep that in mind. - It's cash only, so bring cash. There's also various promos such as seniors day, so be sure to take advantage of those if you can. I believe it's also cheaper to order during lunch. - It is on the pricier side, but that's to be expected given that it's seafood and more of an upscale restaurant. - You are automatically charge 12% for tips.

I liked this restaurant but you could go to Fisherman Lobster for cheaper and same food. Got the set menu for 5-6 people but was definitely enough for 8 people. Came to about $800. Service charge is included but tbh service wasn't amazing. Not enough servers for such a huge restaurant. They only were attentive when they realized my dad was tipping them individually. I would not come back again because it's nothing special but it is worth a try !

I didn't have much of an expectation but I left pleasantly surprised! Loved the salted egg lobster, the crab was perfectly cooked... Go check em out! I will say that they ran out of the quoted size of seafood on the menu at 5:30PM so we had to pay extra... wondering if they just never have the size quoted on the menu... The setting of the restaurant was also quite glamorous for a Chinese restaurant which was a nice twist.

This is like the fancy big sister of Fishman Lobster. Not only do they have the HK style lobster mountain, but they also serve dry-aged steak. I went to their new location near Highway 7/Leslie and was totally blown away by the ambiance. It has that classy, fine-dining banquet vibe, so immediately you'd think the place is $$$ and it totally was. We got the $599 lobster and steak menu for 9 people and it was definitely enough food for everyone. The quality of the dishes were on par with Fishman Lobster (we go a few times a year), and the dry-aged ribeye steak that's unique to this restaurant was cooked perfectly. Service was a tad bit slow however, like we had to ask to change our plates and to bring over more gloves, while at Fishman Lobster they would just proactively provide these services.

Came here for a celebration. Had one of the set dinners. We were seated pretty quickly with our reservation. The place like nice with all the wine and meat fridges. Dark modern aesthetic. Things were kicked off with the rib eye. In theory it was interesting... or was done rare but left in oil and on candles so you have leave or there longer if you want it cost to medium well. But in practice, it's better to have a separate plate for heating as I was with some mannerless barbarians that kept taking pieces I flipped over to cook more. Only lightly seasoned but there was pink malasian sea salt for you to adjust. Next was the roast suckling pig... skin wonderfully crispy not hard at all. But not enough seasoning... would have liked some more five spice and salt. The fish was next and was really nice. Fried crisp skin on the outside and not dry on the inside. Slightly spicy and sweet. You enjoyment will depend on your preference for this flavor profile. I was excited for the fried rice... lobster roe and shrimp is a great combination but insufficient seasoning let it down... just needed s little more not much. It could also use something like peas to help cut the heaviness. Next we had e-fu noodles... my favorite noodle... texture was spot on... just enough chewiness and not to wet but it could have used just a little more oyster sauce to make it really good. Then came the main attraction... the lobster mountain. In top are the lobsters and the foothills are composites of a large base of fries. Flavor was similar to the sea bass... spicy and sweet with lots of fried garlic sprinkled throughout. I enjoyed it and it was all cooked right... maybe a tiny bit on the overdone side but that's kinda elected when you are pitching out so much volume... err on the side of caution. One thing that would have been nice is if the servers brought up shell bowls or plates... we were running out of room with the shells piling up. Or at least remove the shells from our plates. There might not be enough staff to they weren't all that attentive our needs. It was not bad but not great... somewhere between 3 and 3.5... didn't shine... or make much of an impression... like other things from modern Chinese culture... superficially impressive until you dig into it... then it's just ok... small tweaks and it can be really good.

3.5/5 Looks very upscale, but don't let the vibe fool you. It's basically another Chinese seafood restaurant without many other options besides, well, lobster. The lobster portion was certainly huge for our party of 6, but honestly given the price we paid I wasn't blown away. It was very average. The steak we got for free was pretty good, but let's be honest this isn't a steak place lol, though they do have rib eyes that you can see that are being dry aged. Is it sad that I preferred their steak a bit more? Roast pig was fine as well. Service started out well but ended very lackluster as we couldn't find anyone to give my table dessert and the bill for a very long time. Overall it's fine. I'm not gonna return personally, but won't say no to a future family gathering here.

The decor and renovation are top notch! The service is mediocre at best- very rushed, lack of care and check ins. Unless you're flagging them down, they don't come to you to check how everything is. Food is delicious and consistent. Been here twice now and the sister location 4x. The service is better at the original location but the ambiance is better at the new one!

2025-02-28. Jumbo Lobster Restaurant. Richmond Hill, ON. So, I'll be brutally honest, I didn't come for the seafood. These types of lobster houses are a bit done IMO, I mean who really wants to order and consume 10+lbs of lobster? We came here to have some prime rib. Jumbo Lobster has transformed from a Seafood House to a Steak and Seafood House. They join the ranks of Morton's and Ruth's Chris; however, they only carry one cut of steak, the Prime Rib. Like the goliath's, they too age their meat (in-house). In fact, they have them on display! Not sure if this is a good or bad thing, many can be turned off by the sight of it, but it didn't bother me. In a way, Jumbo Lobster is premium to the mainstay steakhouses as they age their meat a minimum of 28-days. The prime rib we had was aged 33-days and it was fantastic! The cook was to a perfect medium rare. The steak (bone out) was tender and juicy and there was a nice char to it. Don't get me wrong, it's expensive ($100 apiece!), but it's something you can splurge on once in a while. If you'd like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company... Bon Appétit!

Very good, very big, very clean, very fast. And a little bit of expensive, but off course, that we were eating lobsters and crabs.

They have set meal deals. Lobster can be cooked in different ways. Good was fresh and delicious. Copious amounts of food. Great service. Parking available in lot.

Extra star for value as they have a special promotion with a steak included when ordering a combo. We got the lobster combo for 2-3 people (soup, lobster, steamed bass, sweet and sour pork, snow pea tips, desserts) while also adding an order of half roast suckling pig. First impression is that this place is grand - it used to be a dimsum spot/banquet hall so it was very spacious with high ceilings. There were many seats, mainly for larger groups but would definitely recommend calling and making a reservation beforehand. The parking was also quite busy around dinner time. The staff confirmed our order and everything began to arrive. The steak arrived rare but is continuously heated, so you are able to keep cooking it as desired. It was delicious but quite fatty and each of us could only have a few pieces. The suckling pig was the highlight for me. The skin was crunchy and crispy, and was presented beautifully. The other dishes felt bland though the lobster portion was quite impressive and everyone left feeling stuffed. Service was friendly and attentive. Note: Cash or debit only

The moutain hk style lobster and the dry aged steak is awesome! Place was huge and service was great, will be back when we visit toronto again!

This place is huge! Our family booked 2 full tables for a banquet style dinner as an engagement celebration. We ordered the two combo 3 as we had about 24 people. Very fancy set up. They brought out the food which was plated beautifully but I felt the flavors were nothing special, maybe a bit bland. I would have expected a bit more as a party of 12 at one table. This place would be good for an actual wedding banquet but it was a bit too much as a restaurant.

Best seafood spot ever! The golden egg crab was a heavenly delight and the classic lobster dish was addictive.

This place was recommended for its namesake lobster. At first glance an impression, it was impressive. The ambiance, and the high ceilings, and the dark decor make it it very elegant. The food is above average though not necessarily spectacular. Fusion steakhouse and Cantonese seafood. All downhill from there. The food came out extremely slow. Service was disorganized if non-existent. Multiple waiters would come in to the room and not think twice to look around to see if other tables needed service. We would need to shout to get their attention and even then ignored several times, possibly because of hard of hearing. As a result, our fingers dirty with crab and lobster had no napkins to wipe with. Mouths ran dry and parched. Plates completely full of shell debris went unchanged in the entire meal (see photo). You had to flag the waiters down to get what you need. Like what? The elegant dining experience was intermittently shattered by the loud shouting of the waiters (who were repeating their orders to the other staff). Like really?? First class surroundings but sadly street food manners. Other diners also experience similar issues having to make multiple requests. Took forever just to get our bill. At the end, our entire slow gastronomic journey took a whooping 2 hrs 45 min! Automatic 12% service charge, usually would've tipped more at this type of establishment, but they deserved sadly less. Food 7/10 Ambiance 9/10 Value 6.5/10 Service 1/10 Overall 6/10 Could be so much better with service. improvements.

New location with beautiful modern black renovations done to it. Came here both for dim sum and for dinner once and both experiences were great. The restaurant now gives a luxurious beautiful high end vibe when compared to their old location of victorian decor. Let's start with the dim sum first. Dim sum lunch: Not a large variety of food and dim sum options, but they have combo meals that you can have lobster and dim sum which is a great steal when sharing with a group of friends. The dim sum was good but just lacked variety. Love that the servers are very attentive in filling the tea pot and making sure the pot sits under a candle to keep it warm. Dinner: This is what blew me away. Along the sides of the restaurant are private rooms that you can book out for a minimum charge (which you would hit anyway since the rooms are for larger parties, therefore the spend would be more). They have set menus for dinner that you can choose from. We opted for one that serves steak, succulent pig, lobster and king crab. The steak was surprisingly very delicious and cooked perfectly to medium rare. Was not expecting this at a Chinese seafood restaurant. Suckling pig here was always great even from their previous location. Crispy skin with just the right amount of fattiness to the meat. Tower of lobster cooked HK style is always the go to here. Not only is the aesthetically pleasing to the eye but also so tasty, comes with fries as well. King crab was not fully cooked this time we came. The legs were cooked but the body of the meat was still a bit translucent. A couple of us only noticed afterwards as we were eating and by that time it was too late to send the item back. Overall, I really enjoy this place for their food and interior of the restaurant. It just feel good to sit in there with their high ceilings and good service. Would highly recommend.

New location looks amazing! Asian version of the Keg with a sleek modern take. Worth a visit to check out the newly renovated space. As for the food, they still have the same Jumbo Lobster menu as per previous location, which is great cuz we love their lunch menus (lobster and dimsum combos)! Service was good as usual and tips all included in the bill.

I've been to their old location once before. It was very bright and glamorous and now it's dark and chic. This was my first time at their brand new location which they spent $9M on and it took 8 months to build this 30,000 sq ft, ridiculously high ceiling restaurant. If you are going to bring helium balloons, make sure they are tied to a weight or you will not be able to get them back down. (Trust me, I know). Did you know the kitchen was half the size? It was the biggest restaurant I've ever dined in. We celebrated another birthday here. They have walls displaying wine bottles and I hear if you bring your own bottle, there is a $60 CAD corkage fee. Be aware they only accept cash or debit cards. So bring a wad of cash or your debit card. The meal sets are not cheap here. There is absolutely no substitutions on their meal sets. If you want something else, you have to order it separately. This restaurant is good for large groups otherwise you will have lots of left overs. We chose the 4 x lobsters cooked 4 ways, meal set for the 5 of us. They still serve the same daily soup of black chicken and pork soup here. The pork was as dry as I remembered. Unfortunately, the garlic fries wasn't as good as the first time I had it. It didn't taste freshly fried. I did enjoy everything else. Everyone in our group had their own favorite way of the lobster being cooked. If you can afford it, I highly recommend the king crab over the lobster. We also had the beef tenderloin and wow it was so tender and so tasty.

Food was good service was fast. I was even late for my reservation by 10 minutes and they accommodated me.

The restaurant, although unassuming on the outside, was really beautiful on the inside. I would've dressed a bit nicer if I knew the vibe before I came, but I was invited by family. There's large tanks surrounding the dining area. There were a lot of mid dishes, with a few standouts. Lots of fancy items on the menu. I'll talk about the main dishes I've tried. Regarding pace, they came out at a good timing initially but at the end of the meal it got . * First course (soup of the day): Black silken chicken soup - Broth was good with a light soy sauce flavor, chicken was meh sadly, a bit tough. 4/5 for the broth, 2/5 for the chicken. * Second course: Roast suckling pig (half) - Star of the entire meal. Super crispy and crunchy skin. Tender juicy goodness. The best suckling pig I will say I've had. 5/5. * Third course: Lobster - Lobster is tender - Very light sauce it's cooked in. Be aware the shell was very crumbly though, so be careful. It was good but nothing popped out too much. 4/5. * Fourth course: Vancouver crab, came with fries - Fries were spicy garlic, if that's your thing. The Vancouver crab was all fried and kinda a pain to eat. 3.5/5, although it's not their fault. I can see someone else really liking this, but it just wasn't my taste. I ate once piece and left it at that. * Fifth course: Sea bass - Cooked perfectly. Tasted like my grandparents', and I mean that in an excellent way. 5/5. * Fried rice: A classic and solid - Had the right amount of soy sauce. Unfortunately, it took way too long to arrive - The lobster, crab, and sea bass were basically done by the time it came. * Snow pea leaves with goji berries: - Really good! Same thing though as the fried rice - Wish it came out with the meat dishes sooner. * Dessert: Jello - It was okay, and it took forever to come out. Wish they gave us new plates for the jello since we had to put them on our used ones. Overall, the experience is alright for a special occasion. My family agreed that it's the kind of place you go to once every few years.
