What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the restaurant’s beautiful decor, high-quality seafood, and crisply executed dim sum. Diners love the presentation and taste of signature dishes like lobster fried rice and sashimi platters. Many mention the convenience of its location inside Yorkdale Mall and the consistent, professional service that makes the experience feel special.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the restaurant can get busy on weekends and holidays, which might mean a longer wait if you don’t have a reservation. Prices are on the higher end, especially for dinner, so it’s better suited for a splurge than a quick bite.

If you're looking for a stylish, elevated dining experience with top-notch Chinese cuisine before a concert, Yu Seafood delivers with flair and flavor.
