Reviews for Paradise Fine Chinese Dining in North York, ON
Food -- excellent. This review is based on Paradise's sneakiness. First off: your bill will include the tip added, no matter... what size your party is. So Paradise makes a tip mandatory (I've always thought it was based on quality of service?) And theysneakily make the tip look like the tax (13%) so when you get your bill, you'll think you need to tip on top of that. Don't befooled. Second: They charge for tap water. I know water costs restaurants money, but seriously? $1 for each person for tapwater? It's not even filtered water, it's tap. Third: Service is only okay -- with mandatory tipping, I would expect at leastgood service. It's only minimal effort. Bring your food. Leave. Not even so much as asking if we need anything else. Four: backto the bill -- dim sum dishes are listed as S, M, L, or XL. With different pricing for each. Make sure you know what size you'reordering and calculate your total. The final bill does not have line-by-line charges, only the total. So you won't know if they"accidentally" charged you for two mediums when it should be two smalls. If you go in knowing all this, then you will enjoy thefood (which really is good) and not be bothered by the sneakiness. Read more
Dim sum is no longer lower priced before 10:30am or anytime. If you pay cash, you do receive 10% off. They charge you for tea... per person ( about $1.25) and also for water. They charge regardless of what age you are so if a 6 year old needs water, you'llbe charged. 13% gratuity is already added to the bill. I'm sure lots of people tip on top though as they don't refuseadditional tipping. Perhaps 13% is selected because you might think it's tax and then tip some more. Dim sum itself is good.Tasty. But no longer a good value so many options are out there for the same or better price. We paid $95 cash for about 10 dimsum dishes. Read more

This is a really solid Chinese restaurant. Everything is flavourful and fresh. The yin yang rice is interesting as it seems to... have some curry powder. The baked tapioca pudding is a must have. Read more

Food and service both solid. Only callout is to review the bill carefully. Their bill is printed on a format that typical old... school convenient stores do their receipts.. and it doesn't tell you anything other than rows of seemingly random numbers. Themost recent time we went as a party of 2, and thought the bill total came up to be pretty high (we ordered 6 items). When askedabout the bill, several staff members had to help decipher the bunch of numbers and we then found out they duplicated thesubtotal, apparently due to a "mistake". They've also recently added auto great on all bills but it looks like the HST item assame %. Odd that they don't declare this upfront or at all. Read more

IG:missasia.pattyc I went to this restaurant 2x during my Miss Asia Canada Pageant week. If you're more of a sweet tooth like... me, you will love the signature dish, which is the sweet glazed beef. Ivan, the CEO of Paradise was very attentive to our needsand when we had a bit of an accident (wine spilling on a dress) with his knowledge, he gave us Club Soda to get the wine off.Great hospitality to urgent situations and amazing tasting food! I highly recommend to eat here for Cantonese food. Read more

Standard Chinese dim sum restaurant fare. Everything was average, so not bad at all. Prices are kind of standard for dim sum in... Toronto, quality wise also quite average. I really liked that they had the Hong Kong style steamed rice noodles, but it wasn'tall that amazing. Overall, good enough to get a quick dim sum fix. Read more
