Reviews for ?????Starchiva Cuisine in Richmond Hill, ON
Have been looking forward to trying this restaurant after hearing good reviews.....but was very disappointed by the... service. Arrived on a Tuesday at 6pm (without a reservation), restaurant was pretty empty. The waitress brings us to a tableinside a small room with a total of 3 tables. We ask if there's a table in the main dining area as we stated it was pretty hotin the room. She doesn't bother checking and says there's no tables available at all and says the A/C is on. Throughout thedinner, we are all getting warmer and even sweating a little. When another party got seated in the table next to ours, the roomwas quite loud. The general attitude of the servers was very bad, everyone in my party thought so. They were quite snarky andnot very polite to us. Although, we noticed they were very pleasant to the 'regular customers'. The lobster meal we orderedwas just OK, nothing special. Price was reasonable. The little cake desserts that comes with the meal was quite dry. Apparentlythis chain has a online cake shop, but after tasting the mini cakes, would never order from them. Overall, the price of thecombo meals are reasonable but it's too bad the servers they hire aren't up to par. Wouldn't come back as there are many otherChinese restaurants in the area with better quality food and most importantly good customer service. Read more
We have heard mixed comments about this place and our lunch experience on Father?s Day was a positive one. Portion are huge and... food came really quickly. Service is also superb. Price is I say normal for this type of restaurant, but be sure to make areservation if you want to try it, I overheard them turning away walk in customers at opening! Read more
Used to be amazing value for AMAZING cantonese food. Prices have since gone up, doesn't feel worth it anymore =/. Food's still... amazing though. If you want Cantonese food, come here. If you are willing to spend a little extra. Read more
Food was good, place was clean and the servers were professional. I will go again. Just went there for lunch today. Quality... dishes with same quality of service. Definitely a good choice for quality Chinese dishes. Please keep it up. Thank you. Read more
Really decent Cantonese food in a relaxed ambience with great setvice. The lunch sets are very reasonably priced for the... portions. Among the dishes that we've tried, i love the crispy vermicelli with satay beef the most. Bbq pork has good texturebut was drenched in too much sauce that is overpoweringly sweet. Vegetable dishes are fresh and delicious too. Will come back. Read more
Ordered 10 course meal to celebrate my daughter?s birthday w family. Food was great. Portion & service were good. The restaurant... is always busy. A reservation is highly recommended. We like their dim sum during lunch too. Will revisit soon. Read more
Great all-around spot for Cantonese cuisine. They have a bunch of set dinner combos available which offer better value than... ordering foods separately. We wanted to try their signature five-spice duck, but you have to call in a day in advance to reserveit! Make sure to do that if you want to try this signature dish. All of the dishes we got were super tasty and well-cooked.Things are on the pricier side and portions were alright. Service was courteous and attentive and the tables were nicely-spacedout. Would definitely come back to try their lobster and five-spice duck! Read more
My husband went to StarChiva with his coworkers and raved about it so we ended up going here with our friends for his birthday.... It was the first time we celebrated a birthday with friends at a Chinese restaurant. Everyone was very impressed!! The value wasamazing and portions were big! We ordered the set meal for $5xx before tax and it came with at least 10 dishes. It was soo muchfood! Taste was excellent too. The service was surprisingly friendly and polite. Def not the typical jaded aunties and unclesworking here. I can?t wait to bring my family to try! Read more
