Ritzy Palace Chinese Cuisine - Markham

Excellent cuisine, worth braving the frigidly cold weather for!The last time I ate at this favorite spot of mine was way before I had my two separate bouts with Covid. Keeping our fingers crossed that nothing has changed and quality of food still remains the same. Tonight, our party of 6, all bundled up and braving 14C weather decided to have our weekly family dinner there. Arriving early at 6.00pm, as expected, the place was empty.First thing that caught our eyes was the ‘ Peking Duck Special ‘! Normally priced at $55 for two ways, it is now being offered at a most attractive $39.99!! Ordering that was obviously a no brainer! In addition, our order revisited some of their house specialties as well as some of our long standing favorites.Dishes ordered consist of the following: Peking Duck Two Ways Crispy Skin and Crepe wrap; Stirred fry diced meatand mixed vegetables, lettuce pockets; $15 supplement Pan seared Filet Mignon Cubes with Garlic and Maggi Sauce Fried Jumbo Fanny bay Oysters with Honey Pepper Glaze Fried Tiger Prawns with Salted Duck Egg Yolk Coating Clay Pot Rice with Chinese Wind dried Preserved Meat and Sausages Complimentary desserts of Toasted Black Sesame Dessert Soup; MangoJello Pudding.All in all, the food was masterfully executed, exceptionally tasty and as enjoyable as before.A special mention goes to those perfectly seared, medium rare and tender, aromatic and exotic tasting filet steak nuggets. Amazingly delicious! Reminiscent of Hong Kong famed ‘Tai Ping Koon‘, colonial/western style preparation of their house special pan seared minute steak!Both Prawns and oyster dishes were both very well done. The crunchy prawns with the gooey, super tasty egg yolk coating a definite stand out. The Peking Duck both ways were also as good as before. The stirred fry component for the lettuce pocket wrap exuded delightful wok hay aroma and smokey taste.All in all, an enjoyable and wonderful meal worth braving the frigid weather for.

When I walked up to the counter to pay, the manager had the audacity to ask for more tip. Unbelievable. Besides that the food had some bits of plastic inside from the packaging.

Price is reasonable. Excellent service and food. Was there for an event and they go above and beyond for their great service. The deepfry shrimp meatballs are highly recommended.Vegetarian options: Veggie fry rice and buda fest

THEY DEMANDED MORE TIP!!! I had a great meal. The food is great. The service was okay UNTILLLL we were paying and it is cash only btw in the morning time. Our bill was $41.35 And we gave them a flat $45 because we had bills and the employee who took our money said our tip is too little and we need to pay more and she said it needs to be 10% tip and refused to take our money until we paid more. I found this to be extremely rude and unprofessional to be asking a customer that. Needless to say we will not be going back there. No wonder it was semi empty today…. They lost a very loyal customer today. P.S I love dimsum. Any other recommendations hmu!Parking: Fills up fast in the mornings

Arrived at this restaurant on a Sunday morning around 11:15am. Didn?t have to wait for a seating due to my party being a party of 2. Was offered a patio table which was great as it was a calm Sunday morning. Ordered a number of classic dim sum dishes and enjoyed the food throughout. If you arrive and place your order prior to 11am they have a special dim sum early bird pricing of $4.50 each. Brilliant.
