Oh No! no more Dim Sum Service

We used to love this place for Dim Sum on Sundays but they discontinued Dim Sum in the not too distant past. A great loss... more

Way too pricey

My family and I, which consists of 7 adults, 5 kids and 2 babies, were on a road trip from Chicago to Toronto and Niagara Falls. We stopped here at the recommendation of a friend. The restaurant was clean and service was pretty good. But I gave a 2 star mainly because of the price. The food was decent but... more

Love this place. Always go with my entire family. Food is great and its clean. Best time to go is before 11am to avoid rush on weekends.

Above Average

Simple but tasty Dim Sum, ordered from menus rather than displayed on carts.
Above average quality.

Good dim sum, but dinner is better

We have often visited this first class eatery in Richmond Hill. We reviewed it a year ago after having had our usual excellent dinner with the usual excellent service. This time we went for dim sum. Although quite good it was not up to the dinner standards. The fried octopus tentacles and the fried shrimp were overdone and tough. The... more

Good dim sum, good service and reasonable price

This review refers to dim sum at lunch only! Ate here with some friends for a dim sum lunch on a Sunday. Very good varieties of different dim sum as well as some usual Chinese lunch dishes such as fried rice, noodles, etc. We had some dim sum as well as a soup noodle bowl to share amongst us. All... more

Great choice for a Chinese restaurant

This is a good choice if you want a combination of nice setting and good food. For dim sum they also have a few interesting choices that not every other restaurants offer.

The BEST Peking Duck outside of Beijing

After trying Peking Duck in Beijing a few years ago I get a craving for it a few times a year...After going through reviews and recommendations online I located Ambassador because it was on the DINETO site advertising 50% off Peking Duck...My wife and I went and I must say it is the best I have had outside of Beijing...They... more

Nice dining experience, food was okay, but expected a lot more from Ambassador

I visited the restaurant during dim sum hours in which the service was fairly good. The food wasn't great considering the amount they charged. Save your money and dine elsewhere.

One of my favorite restaurants in the GTA

I'm very pleased with what this restaurant provides in terms of service, food and comfort of seating. The Pecking duck is a must-try and they also have a good selection of dim sum. The food is fresh and tasty and the place is much cleaner and spacier than a lot of Chinese restaurants I've been to in the GTA. This... more

Superb Chinese cuisine in elegant surroundings

If you are visiting the Toronto area, and would like to try Chinese food that is above and beyond sweet and sour chicken, chow mein, and fried rice, Ambassador should be on your list. One caveat: unless you are staying in the northern part of the GTA, you'll probably need a car. There is public transit just steps away, but... more

Really good Dim Sum, very nice place

Go here early, especially on the weekends, we were here by 11 am (we got in right away) and in a span of 30 minutes, there was already a line up. Price is not expensive ($40 for two of us). Sure, you can get a $2 sushi anywhere but no where near the quality of food here. The restaurant is... more

Great Dim Sum but on the higher price end.

Great Peking Duck!! Very good Waiter Service

Great place to eat with excellent service. The service is very good and the food is good.
Peking Duck is very good and quite $$$. Choose set dinner is good price.

Best Chinese restaurant in the GTA

We have been to this restaurant many times. This last visit was as good as all the others. Excellent service, clean and modern surroundings, and of course first rate food. We had our usual crab claws, cold cuts with jelly fish and shrimp sticks, followed by sweet and sour soup, peking duck, bok choy, and shrimp with thousand islands. It... more

Let start with the Bill :-) For 4 of us we spend over $90.00 plus tips over $100 total. Yes $100.00 bucks for 4.The place is clean and the service was good. We got there around 11 am and our reservation was for 11:30. The place was pretty empty when we got there. Never a line up. By the time we left around 1. The place was quite pack. The food was not bad for 100 bucks dim sum. LOL. Mind you, I... more

Ambassador Chinese Cuisine is too pricey for my liking, but I have to agree that the food here is pretty good. I've come here numerous times and these are some of my favourite dishes.Deep fried taro with pork and seafood: Ambassador's verison incorporates curry into the filling. The curry is subtle, but it's an interesting touch that makes the dish unique.Crispy shrimp rolls resembles a longer... more

New to the area so got the rec from blog t.o., specifically looking for dim sum. Overall good quality, not drenched in oil. We had a mix of dim sum  with the larger dishes to stuff our faces with. All the traditional dim sum items are good. Good large spaces to fit many patrons, clean and waiters are nice.

This restaurant has been open for around two decades.  Fifteen years ago, it was among the top three Chinese  restaurants north of toronto.  The main advantage here is the decor is high end tasteful.  Also the dim sum wait for a table is among the lowest around here.  The servers are courteous and responsive.The biggest drawback is that other than a few ok dishes like Peking duck, the food... more

This is real food...not the Mandarin

We ordered takeout - vegetable spring rolls, S&S fried chicken w. pineapple, Beef and Chinese broccoli, noodles singapore curry style w. pork & shrimp. All were excellent, obviously not your run of the mill. Yes, it was a bit pricy but it was quality handmade food..not squeezed out of bag and put on a buffet like so many places. We

Simple but tasty Dim Sum, ordered from menus rather than displayed on carts. Above average quality and above average prices -- three of us ate a solid quantity of Dim Sum and the total was about $30 each, incl. tax and tip.I'd be happy to go again, although I wish it were either closer or cheaper.In many ways, menus are cheaper, but I can't help but wish there were carts anyway -- somehow it's... more

lighter taste and good, although pricey

going here is a treat for the palate and well for one's self because of the price. sit , talk and enjoy the dimsum

It was not the best Dimsum I have had but it is a cut above the rest especially if you are used to Dimsum in NYC, We had Dimsum a few things I remember were Rice Noodle rolls with peanut sauce and The Peking Duck is a must try. Though there were more wraps than Duck. We had sweet dumplings. The wait staff wore traditional wait staff clothing that was clean.Service was good and it was clean and... more

I went there for a dinner with my wife celebrating the Christmas on our own as there will lots of parties thereafter.  Although the restaurant has been established for quite a while, it is amazing to find that the carpet is still very clean.The waitress asked us for our last name and politely called us so.  When I foot the bill, I found that the bill was with my name on it.  Quite a touchy... more

I came here for dinner and I was disappointed.Service was good initially, but as the food arrived the servers  disappeared. Perhaps because we got the corner table, they couldn't see us, but I had to get off my chair find someone to get the bill. Our tea was not refilled frequently enough either.As for the food itself, it's similar to other places that I've been to. Our goal of the night was to... more

I like it here. The dim sum was pretty good, and orders came in quickly.  The food is just classic dim sum, without any fancy extra touches which I like. It's the pick and order kind from a menu (as opposed to carts--i don't even know where they do this anymore). Food for 11 of us was around $15 each, and we had A LOT of food.

The dim sum in Richmond Hill/Markham, Ontario is far superior to dim sum in Chicago. Everything was made to order, fresh, and well-executed. The restaurant is large, spacious, and clean. The servers are friendly and speak English. Parking is a breeze. I can't think of any reason not to go here. Great dim sum!

best dim sum i've had in the gta!  i've been going here for years.the restaurant is very clean and the food is not as greasy as other dim sum places.  the prices may be a tad higher than your average downtown dim sum place, but it's well worth it.  waits aren't too long and the service is quick.i've only tried the dim sum plates, so i have no idea what the dinner menu is like.  stick with the... more

Fantastic Dim Sum

If there is a better Dim Sum restaurant than this in North America, we haven't found it. We have tried many places in New York, Washington DC, San Francisco and even a couple in Vancouver and this has been the best. Everything comes out hot and fresh with great presentation. None of the frozen stuff so common in Dim Sum restaurants, everything we tried was fresh and delicious. We never miss a... more

Absolutely Fantastic - World Class Chinese Cuisine

I have gone to this restaurant twice within the same week of discovering it, although the 2nd time was take-out. From the moment, we walked into this restaurant, we were greeted so amicably. The waitress was so polite. The exterior is just typical but it really doesn't do the interior any justice. Decorated like well, an embassy or more like... more

I've been going to Ambassador for dim sum, probably since it first opened. The service is usually very fast, relatively pleasant and the wait for a table on weekends is usually acceptable (5-20 mins). The restaurant itself is quite nice and uses real tablecloths which is a nice change from a lot of the plastic sheet table coverings at a lot of the downtown dim sum places. They serve dinner and... more

One of the best Chinese food experiences in the GTA. The only issue I have is the wait staff seem to surround the table, this can make it hard to chat with guest. Very good, the vegitarian food is amazing as well. Dim Sum is very good. This place seems to have very high standards and very clean.

Great Peking Duck & Dim Sum

Went here for DIm Sum & Peking Duck the night after. Would definitely visit again next time I am in town.

Came here with the fam for my sister's birthday. Had a wonderful experience - clean, great atmosphere, and excellent service. This resto gets four starts - one for every course we had (divided by two - hee hee).Appetizer of jellyfish and suckling pig were devoured by our hungry brood. We had the famed Peking Duck - pancakes were the perfect thickness, speckled with toasted sesame seeds, and the... more

This place is very traditional, female staff in suit jackets and skirts, men in suits--it's like eating at the Hong Kong airport. The portions are huge--I had #810 I think it was, the eggplant in meat sauce. We also ordered a chow mein (not one of my favorites, but it was a nice rendition of that dish), a fried rice, and a half chicken covered in roasted garlic.Nice food, great atmosphere,... more

No better place in Toronto for consistent ,quality dim sum. Best I've had all over the GTA including Casa Imperial, Lai Wah Heen and Dynasty.  Excellent peking duck for dinner as well. I'm there whenever I visit TO and I'm usually coming from downtown.
