Toronto's Best Cantonese Cuisine | Chi Star House Review

📍 9021 Leslie St #5, Richmond Hill This legendary restaurant proves why there's always a queue! Though the decor shows its age (tight seating), their service outshines most dim sum halls - staff explain dishes passionately and change plates faster than hot pot chains. ✨ Must-Order 🥣 Seafood Winter Melon Pot (Reserve ahead!) Whole melon slow-cooked for 8 hours! Bursting with scallops, shrimp & Jinhua ham, the melon flesh absorbs broth like a sponge. 🍤 Salted Egg Yolk Pumpkin & Tiger Shrimp Shrimp bigger than iPhones! Pumpkin crisps outside but stays custardy inside, coated in grainy salted egg yolk perfection. Pro tip: Order rice to mop up the sauce! 🧄 Steamed Scallops with Garlic Vermicelli 5cm-wide scallops cooked to the exact second, served with broth-soaked noodles. Pure umami bomb! 🍮 Fried Milk Pudding Paper-thin crust reveals molten custard, lightly sweetened like authentic Guangdong recipes. Regulars always order doubles! 🍗 BBQ Platter Crispy-skinned roast duck + honey-glazed char siu with plum sauce - teleports you to Guangzhou alleyways. 📝 Tips • Arrive before 11am on weekends • Reserve winter melon pot 1 day prior • Secret menu: Lobster sticky rice (ask staff) 🌟 Ratings Food Quality Ambience Service Value ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #TorontoCantonese #RichmondHillEats #AuthenticDimSum #SaltedEggYolkLover
