Yu Seafood Yorkdale

We ordered the $1388 king crab combo for 9 people, primarily for the king crab. In hindsight, we should have chosen the 6-person king crab combo and added 2-3 dishes of our choice. None of the guests enjoyed the fried cheese shrimp balls; they were quite large and not tasty at all. After that dish, we felt about 35% full. The braised beef wasn’t my choice, but it came with the combo, and I had wanted to try the wagyu dish offered in the 6-person combo. The soup and king crab were very good, as expected. The combo also included 2 steamed sea bass. I didn’t take a photo of them because the server had already removed the fish bones for us at that point (which was great service), but they didn’t look very appetizing after the bones were taken out. We all found the fish to be quite bland, and the soy sauce had almost no flavor. The fried rice with curry sauce was decent, but overall, the entire meal experience was just okay considering the cost.

A pretty average Chinese restaurant with a luxury price tag. I came here with my friends as a group of six on a Friday evening for a special occasion. We ordered the duck + lobster family combo for 5, as well as some drinks for a total of ~$700 including tax and tip. Compared to other Chinese restaurants, the food was pretty good. The peking duck was decent, the lobster dishes were on point, the fried rice, sushi, yu choy, and soup were all good as well. The service from our waitress was top notch, and the atmosphere felt very luxurious. So why only 3 stars? Besides the peking duck and lobster dishes, I just don't see the entire experience being worth $700. You could easily eat at other Chinese restaurants (albeit the service and atmosphere will be much worse) with the exact same dishes for half the price. You could even get a tower of lobster elsewhere and actually feel stuffed after your meal. I left feeling not super full with more to be desired. I'd like to reiterate that this was top-tier service and atmosphere (hats off to our waitress who I forget the name of!); however, for food and price, I don't think it's worth it.

Yu Seafood at Yorkdale is a stunner—elegant décor, warm lighting, and a polished vibe that makes any meal feel special. Our dishes were incredibly fresh and beautifully presented (almost too pretty to eat!). Flavors were clean and refined, from the delicate seafood to the perfectly balanced sauces. Service was smooth and attentive without being intrusive. It’s the kind of place that’s perfect for a celebration or a treat-yourself lunch—eye candy for the room and the plate. Highly recommended.

Best dim sum I’ve ever had in my life! I’ve uploaded a photo of all the items we tried but the eel is not to be missed it melted in our mouths 🤤 the duck was sliced and served in front of us and served with thin pancakes and condiments to make your own bite, everything was amazing and the location was stunning! Sweet servers and a great date night spot. We went to the yorkdale mall location ❤️

My friend and I had no clue what to get since it was our first time there. The menu had so much stuff, and we were lost. Everything looked so good! We ended up getting the set for two with the chef's picks, and we didn't regret it. It's a great deal because they give you a whole lobster, and each part is a meal. It was super fresh and tasty. We'll definitely be back soon to try everything else.

I had an excellent dining experience at Yu Seafood Yorkdale. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Our server, Celia, made the evening even more enjoyable — she was extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and very professional in her serving skills. From start to finish, everything was seamless and top-notch. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service!

The taste of the items aren’t bad. However, I would strongly suggest diversifying the flavor profiles and cooking techniques. Too many fried items or items with fried components, making the meal heavy and less enjoyable towards the end. Too many items with shrimp in the stuffing as well.

Great spot for dim sum and Chinese dishes! The dumplings are flavorful. We also tried a few stir-fry dishes — the pork and vegetables were delicious, well-seasoned, and served hot. Service was quick and friendly, and the portions were generous.I will definitely visit again.
