Very Fair Seafood Cuisine — Restaurant in Toronto

Very delicious authentic Chinese cuisine ! If you are looking for legit HK style food this is the place to be. Highly recommend roasted pork (bbq pork) the skin is done very well and pair that with jellyfish you will be rolling home Just a quick update with an incident which overall experienced went down the hill!

Long story short a Chinese restaurant this size can’t take a normal order. Very poor customer service! Way over priced stay away from this location. Is nearly close to a scam!

Fact 1, we place an order on some dish few week ago, few day prior the dinner I even confirm with them that some dish will be available. Also it was promised that they will “try” Turns out never the case! All they know is to take 💰💰! Never again with this place only wish they shut down or maybe call health canada because the way they handle food seems fishy ! Stay away Looking at the response make me laugh. If you have taken a “request” seriously FEW WEEKS AGO than this wouldn’t even happen. So suddenly you care about review, and you don’t care when it was a 5 stars? P-L-E-A-S-E

Let’s look at Facts! You open your door for food business, as a PAYING customer, we order food. I’ve give you few week in advance notice, we just want to place an order of different dessert! something very simple just not red bean dessert! you have more than few weeks to get it done. But no, you ignored and brush off the facts. If you claim your kitchen chefs can’t make something simple. They shouldn’t be call chefs! On the day of, if paying customer order a SIMPLE garlic fired vegetables 🥦 are you going to refuse the order and tell the customer, “we are too busy, we can not take your food order?!” Enough said, chance have been given and I will not take it back. If you do really care! your comment/reply wouldn’t even be like so. This only show how much you value 💰💰...

First revisit after a near 2 decades absence!

After an eye doctor appointment just down the road, my wife and I decided to go for an early-bird Dim Sum special brunch. The imposing facade of Very Fair caught our eyes whilst driving past it and we decided to give it a try.

At 10.00 am, a line was already forming at the reception area whilst the ginormous and brightly lite, front-of-house was near 100% packed! We were lucky to be seated at a rare, out of the way small table.

S, M and L size Dim Sum were priced at $5.47 across the board.

We ordered:

Baked Pineapple and BBQ pork buns ( They actually put small chunks of pineapple in the filling! The end product was nicely made, not too sweet and packed generously with juicy filling ).

Har Gow, steamed Shrimp Dumpling ( Current popular rendition featuring giant size morsels the size of a golf ball. Nicely seasoned, crunchy and juicy prawn filling but missing in winter bamboo shoots bits. Chewy, slightly thick skin. Overall, acceptable, better than average product )

Peanuts, Salted Pork Bones and ' Cai-Yu ' Sun dried fish Rice Congee ( 柴鱼花生粥 ). ( Impressive, excellent and flavourful product that was cooked from scratch and not using a ' mother ' generic rice congee base. A rare find these days! Pity fried crullers were not offered on the menu )

Deep fried savoury stuffed doughnut aka Ham-Shui-Gok. ( A touch greasy, otherwise an enjoyable ' crunchy and chewy ' product with generous, juicy diced pork and pickle filling )

Trio of Pan-Fried Savoury and Sweet Cakes - Traditional savoury Turnip, Sweet Water Chestnut and Chewy Ginger. ( All nicely executed and again with generous main ingredients! )

Though swarmed and extremely busy, our lady server was extremely polite, attentive and helpful!....another rarity!

Overall, a most surprising and enjoyable luncheon experience that is worthy of a...

My family and I have been here three times after their renovation late November or early December 2024. We went twice for dim sum and one time for Christmas dinner there.

Note that I did see the YouTube video review of this place of some guy complaining about this place and still went and tried this place anyway.

Confirmation - I can only agree with his review on the service and it only applied during dim sum on New Year's Day and the restaurant was at full capacity. So the dim sum coming out took longer than usual. During our dinner service on Christmas Day, they were very attentive to our table most of the time. We had a table for 10 people and we ordered a set meal in advance. We made a change to one of the dishes and they were very accommodating. So I am unsure what that YouTuber is referring to for his meal set and their service. It was not at full capacity on Christmas Day and they also had a wedding on that day too.

As for the food, for the dim sum the food was great and delicious. My kids love their rice roll with lean pork and their salted egg custard bun bun. Personally I love their deep fried egg yolk dumpling with molten sesame and their Siu mai. If you like congee, I recommend you get their chef's special slice pork, pork liver and tripe congee or the corn and pumpkin congee. I have not tried the other congee so I cannot provide an accurate review for that item. As for the set dinner, we enjoyed every dish. I did wish that I took more photos; I was too hungry and forgot. 😞

As for the atmosphere, during dim sum hours on New Year's Day, loud and busy; but you can still hear the people at your table. Christmas Day, more calm and less busy. Christmas Eve dim sum hours, calm and less busy since it was a...
