Richmond Hill - favs and foodie finds?
I went to Allusion last night and was very disappointed. Everything was bland and tasteless and is very expensive for what it's worth.
Definitely NOT recommended!

Dun Huang has closed down for a couple months now and is vacant.

+ 1 on the decline of their dim sum. It hasn't been the same for me as well...maybe it's a temporary thing
Authentic Taiwanese Food in Toronto?
There is this little place/unit inside Metro that has pretty good Taiwanese food, (granted I haven't been to Taiwan before, but regardless), I really enjoy the food there. It's in between Asian Legend and the bun store. Check it out, although I'm not sure if they have 三杯雞 or not.
Looking for a Chinese reception venue in GTA
There was a similar topic a while back and this was my response...hope it helps...this was the thread:

Congrats, I'm actually in the process of looking at venues myself , and here are a few of my suggestions...
Ambassador - As one of the posters said, I would recommend Ambassador as well. Their food and service is excellent and you won't be disappointed. My brother had his wedding there and it was a great venue! However, the price can be pricey as well, depending on what you order. But, it was well worth it.
Dun Huang - According to my friend, they recently changed to a buffet format and are no longer doing banquets/dinners. They refunded her money and told her to go somewhere else. Not kidding.....so...not recommended.
Diamond - It's a nice place, been there once for a wedding. Food was alright, service was ok.... but as one of the posters said, there's this feeling to it which I didn't find right as well...just my 2 cents. Hilton is about a 5 mins drive.
La Rosa - Same owners as Ambassador and I think I might be holding my wedding here...so I might be a bit bias. A very good venue. 3 rooms to choose from. Service is excellent, food is pretty good as well. They have a Comfort Inn across the street (within walking distance) and a Delta Hotel about 2-4 mins drive. http://www.larosabanquethall.com is their website. As the manager told me, they are opening up a new venue at 407/Kennedy, called Markham Event Centre. I'm going to take a look there later on this/next week. No hotels nearby, but if you are interested, I can provide you with a contact. Let me know.
Once again, congrats and good luck with everything...let us know which one you choose! =D

hong kong style diners
Hey! Not sure if I understand what your needs are, but there are a lot of these around in the Scarborugh, Markham, Richmond Hill area. They're practically available if you step into any Chinese mall/plaza/strip, etc. Here are a couple suggestions:
1. Sun Sing See aka New City (at Peachtree Centre - Hwy 7 & Kennedy)
2. Gum Fung..err...Gold Phoenix (translation?) (2 locations..there's one on mccowan and raymerville and another one...which I prefer around Woodbine & Steeles )
3. Mai Chuen (Middlefield & McNicoll)
4. Richmond Court aka Nam Yuen (Times Square and in the plaza around South Park & Hwy 7)
Hope that helped.
Chinese Wedding Banquet Locations
Hey Mansze,
I actually did check out MEC last week, they had their first party there and they told me to go check it out. Very nice decor and atmosphere. As a result of such, my fiancee and i are still in the process of deciding between that or La Rosa. I'll be doing a tasting or something of that sorts in the next couple weeks. Will keep y'all posted. Shoot me an e-mail if you anything else from me.
Cheers,
DC

Yeah, wouldn't be a problem, just give me a shout. Send me an e-mail at waterboi1234@gmail.com, and I can provide you with a contact there. I don't think I should be posting their e-mail contact here. Sorry.
