A presentable dim sum and seafood restaurant in Toronto. Walls are lined up with built in tanks housing live lobsters and seafood.
Dim sums are well made and delicious. Lobsters can be prepared various styles. Quality tea leaves used and in presentable pots. Perfect place for treating friends and family.

Review is for their new location at Leslie and highway 7. Great parking lot, busy as per usual but service has gotten so much worse. I’m used to Chinese restaurants, but at least they’re efficient.
It took 45 minutes from ordering to getting our food during lunch. Usually at their old place it’s a lot quicker, however they clearly cannot keep up with their customers with the much bigger space. They cannot manage their business effectively. The food is good - but it’s the same as Lobster Port No 1, so you can just go to their old location with the new restaurant.
They also did not clear plates of lobster shell after ordering a 10 lb lobster from them. And they had the nerve to charge 12%.

Really an amazing and unforgettable experience for me, treated by my beloved daughter to eat seafoods here in Toronto. Last 2 years, I’ve been to many Chinese large bouquet halls but Jumbo Lobster here is the best for the stunning decorated stylish hall with all the big lobster and crab aquariums displayed on one side of the whole wall and other side displayed all kinds of liquor in the bottle. Price fairly reasonable, service is fantastic….like servicing in fine dinning. Staff bought out a live big lobster and crab, showing us exactly what we were about to enjoy later was super excited. Beside they also offered us to take as many photos as we like. All the foods we had on that day are not bad. HK cuisine a bit mild for some dishes but superior quality. I will never forget their famous signature, Fried Lobster Tower pairing with crispy fries and its what famous of? Definitely, will back again for special occasion.
Was recommended by a friend so took the family to try it. Service was weird, reason I said that most of them are nice and but few of them was not as nice. Also they don’t take any kind of credit cards, but some of menu price is pricey but they expect you carry cash like that. Seafood is great. Lobster, crabs are tasty. But the veggie we got and also the fried rice is awful. Not sure how, but just bad. Overall definitely still worth it if you are here for the seafood.
We had lunch at Jumbo Lobster with Canadian friends. It was an unforgettable meal, thanks to the flavors and the quality of service.
Before cooking, the staff brought us a live lobster, showing us exactly what we were about to enjoy. It was a unique and exciting touch. The rest of our meal and the side dishes were just as fresh and delicious.
If you're a seafood lover or looking for a special dining experience, Jumbo Lobster is a must-visit!

If you like sea food, lobster and crabs, this is the must go place in Toronto! This signature dish— lobster tower is the best and every dishes is delicious. They all very well cooked. If you come from US, you will notice that the price is great with current exchange rate.
Friends visiting from Australia and thought I would take them out to the famous lobster dinner at the newly opened Jumbo Lobsters on Leslie St, Richmond Hill. What an embarrassment!
We arrived at 5:30pm and ordered the set menu like everyone else and it contains a 6 lb of lobsters, a 8 lb king crabs and 5 other dishes. 6 lb became 6.85 lb and the 8 lb became 8.5 lb, which was expected. The surprises was all the other dishes came first including the fried rice, veggie and steamed fish and the two main seafood came last. We were seated on a table which obviously was way too small for this set menu for the 7 of us. Some dishes had to be transferred to smaller plates which greatly degraded the presentation and hence enjoyment.
Through-out the next 1.5 hours, no one was there to change plates, refill tea pots and hot water, no plastic gloves until we asked, no toothpicks and no serviette, just a deck of cheap tissues papers.
Services were rushed as each seating is limited to 2 hours. After we finished, dessert was served and it was put on top of all the uncollected dishes still on the table.
Sharp at 2 hours, some young busboy came to our table and told us loudly and forcefully we must now leave as new customers were waiting for our table 😡
Set dinner was $699 on the menu, we ended up paying $939 which included all the extra pounds of seafood, taxes and 12% automatic tips.
Never would I go there again. With that kind of money I expected service and a no rush dinner. The place was loud and we had to raise our voices to carry out a normal conversation. This is definitely a tourist trap and the restaurant only care about rushing us through. You have been warned !
