5/5 for authentic Chinese food and great prices. Usually pretty busy but rarely do you have to wait for seating unless your with a large group.

So this place does one thing that is better than anyone else. The marinated duck... Delicious.
Would of gotten 5 stars. But I can't find anything else that is good or needs mentioning about -

Went here as a group. It was not bad. I have to complain though about their menu. CBCs & the rest of the non Chinese population ... must be so annoyed cuz the entire menu was mostly in Chinese. Not to mention lots of variety but anyhow thank goodness for the photos. I had to read ever so slowly...Fortunately the group was fluent so there were no probs ordering.
Service was very fast. They actually brought a dish that we did not order (1/2 duck). None of us realized it as we ordered from the set menu. How can u get this wrong?The waiter later came by and said it isn't ours and if we want it we could add it to the tab. Sorry we aren't paying extra for your mistake. So he took it back to the kitchen. Makes u wonder if they are just going to recycle that to the next table ? They should've comped it for us since it was half eaten cuz now I just had to yelp about this :)
The food was alright. I'm not a big fan of Chiu Jau style but its fine. I liked the soup best. The shanghai style noodles I thought was a bit undercooked. The fish ...my friends loved it but I beg to differ. It was prob because I am not a fan of Chiu Jau in general lol Price was def good. -

I ate at Bayview Court Chinese Restaurant one time and it's not a bad restaurant.
The restaurant is nice looking- medium big with 2 rooms of tables.
I saw a small menu book containing pictures of the food at the counter at the back of the restaurant
The restaurant's website also contains pictures of the food.
This would be useful for people who are not familiar with Chinese food.
I went to this restaurant because Restoran Malaysia across the street had not opened yet on Sunday morning.
So my family ordered some dishes and I ate a little bit of the food.
The food was alright to good.
Try the turnip patties with spicy sauce. -

My paths with Chiu Chow cuisine is somewhat limited RELATIVELY speaking.
Easily the reason being Cantonese is the default selection by Availability and Taste.
I know the very basic orders of a Meal and therefore I will share with you here. 2.5'd
1 - Braised Meats - Duck, etc...
2 - Chiu Chow Congee - Minced Pork, Dried Fish & Diced Oyster
3 - Oyster Omelette
My mentality with Chiu Chow Food is simple, due to the Food being simple.
Relatively.
Simple is good especially for the oil conscious consumers, CC Food is Low Fat.
Relatively.
0509 Minced Pork & Dried Fish Congee($4.50 bowl) - A-OK
0134 Chicken w/ Chinjew Sauce($7.99) - Meh
0280 House of Deep Fried Bean Curd($4.99) - Meh -

Just had dim sum lunch here. Very good, though limited dim sum dishes. Dont expect the 50+ items like some other places. Just the standard stuff. Har gow, shu mai and BBQ pork rice noodle roll (wasn't expecting this and was delighted) were very fresh, piping hot and substantial portions. Will go back again for a quick dim sum fix.
Update: went again for lunch and it was just as good. Shrimp wonton soup was excellent. Big, juicy wontons in a huge bowl of egg noodle soup. And had to have the BBQ pork rice noodle roll again! -

its been a while since i got to rate something with 4 stars but I'm glad I finally got to try this restaurant I pass by all the time but always seemed to ignore. The food is pretty good. The prices are pretty standard at 8-14 per dish and because I always found myself driving to markham to get some decent dimsum, I appreciate this place even more.
Definitely a hongkong themed restaurant with all the decor and pictures hanging on the wall not to mention the cuisine. I normally don't notice interiors that much but somehow they nailed it with their setup as I literally feel like I'm in asia while I dine inside. Service is ok but it also depends on which server you get. A few are friendly, a few not so, which I am used to.
I find the menu more affordable and diverse. I don't notice steamed whole fish available (for $13 only) that often in other mid range priced restaurants so it is definitely a plus.Some restaurants offer dimsum during lunchtime only while I can get it here up until closing time. I must say that Bayview Court is now my official go to chinese restaurant if I want decent food around my area. -

This is my family's go to restaurant when we want something fast and we don't know what to eat. We come here for wonton noodle soup (I think that's what it's called in english haha), fried rice, steamed fish, and other random Asian things I don't the the names of in english (sorry!). And I haven't tried the dim sum here... but i probably wouldn't, there doesn't see to be much of a selective here.
They also have this "dessert" thing where it's pan-friend (not sure) crunchy noodles cut up into slices and you eat it with vinegar and sugar. for some reason I really like it lol
Staff here are pretty attentive and food comes out quick! Atmosphere is not too bad, the decor is nice to look at, makes me feel like I'm in a Chinese history museum.
Overall if you're looking for a quick bite, come here! -

I've dined at this establishment many times and love this place. The food is good and price is great. Before, for Chinese fast food dining I use to go to Richmond Court, I found Richmond Court was too greasy, and quality and presentation below average. Decorations inside this restaurant gives it character, and the high ceiling certainly improves the dining experience.
My favourites: fish cooked in clay pot, rice noodle with beef, beef brisket in clay pot (these are not correct names from menu - just from my memory)
Service is above average for a Chinese restaurant establishment, certainly leaps and bounds better than Richmond Court. Be warned that it can get very busy during Friday and Saturday dinner. -

I came here when it first open and it was really decent tasting Chinese food. Now this place specializes in Chiu Chou style of cooking, other than the Cantonese style that the majority of Chinese restaurants do.
As the years progressed the quality of food declined. Usually on a night where we want fast, good food for cheap we would come to this place but now, it's not even an option on the list!
I recently came back as a family friend wanted to come here and the food is still meh but service is always fast. I don't want to sound like the stereotypical person but my Canadian friends LOVE this place, I just find it to be mediocre food but decent service. A HUGE plus though is the fact that they do indeed deliver!Listed in: Asian Sensation

There are some feats that are more impressive than others, being the best Chinese restaurant in Richmond Hill is something to be really proud of. Bayview Court is the best Chinese restaurant I have ever eaten in and I've been eating Chinese food for a long time. When I was a mere six days old my parents took me to their favorite Chinese restaurant and I have been eating Singapore noodles and Congee ever since. Unlike many of my favorite haunts there are things I'm scared to try on Bayview Court's menu. I haven't had the jellied pig's blood or intestine, but they do have a picture menu for those of us unable to read Chinese and this really helps. Everything I have had from their Dim-Sum menu is incredible, the food usually comes out so hot that you have to wait to eat it.
I had never really liked corn and chicken soup until I tried it here. I realize that for native Torontonians, Richmond Hill is a far off land populated with soccer moms and SUV's somewhere north of Steeles and for the most part you would be right, but Bayview Court is worth the trip north. I have taken people recently from China to Bayview Court and they tell me that it's the best Chinese food they've ever had. It is traditional Chinese recipes made with fresh produce and meat.
I don't give five star reviews liberally I think that they should be reserved for only the best of the best which is why I don't hesitate in giving Bayview Court this highest of accolades.

Love the food. Always come here for dinner. You gotta order the eel hot pot rice, it's simply too delicious to discribe. (But make sure they don't burn the bottom of it, happened to me once).

I found Chinese food in Richmond Hill to be hit and miss. Sometimes its great other times its not even close to authentic. This place is closer to the authentic Chinese style of food. Walking in it reminds me of when I visited Hong Kong, although this is not a Cantonese style restaurant, with murals of rice patties and fishing boats on the wall. The decor is what you expect from a casual Chinese restaurant. Nothing special, lots of big round tables, a few booths, dark brown wood, and quick service.
The service was very fast although they had trouble speaking English. It wasn't rude because you can't fault them for not knowing a language so we communicated through pointing at the menu and hand signals. The food came very fast and was fresh. Fried noodles were crispy, sweet and sour pork crunchy, General Tao chicken was spicy, and the green beans were delicious. The food was a bit oily though but nothing too crazy as to where I was unable to eat or it turned me off.
Overall, this is a good restaurant and probably one of the better Chinese fair in Richmond Hill. Prices are decent, food is fast, service is quick, and generally flavorful. If you can trek to the city for good Chinese then go trek but for something in these area its perfect. -

This is the first time I ever eat at Bayview Court even though I been driving by it numerous time! (Ok, I ate here because the Malaysia restaurant across the street is closed and I want to yelp about some restaurant)
There were only another table when I went in on a Monday late afternoon. The service is fast. I tried to stay away from the oily food like stired fried and deep fried as per previous yelpers complained about the amount of oil. I ordered a home made fish ball rice noodle soup which suppose to be a Chiu Chou Style food.
There are 5 fish balls and 4 fish slices. The fish balls are quite tasty, yes they tasted home made, not like the ones I got from a package in the supermarket. The size of the noodle is nice..just perfect. But it does not taste like Chiu Chou fish ball noodle as there are not garnishes like perserved "winter" vegetables or seaweed..
The menu does have a lot of varieties and the price is good. I guess if you come with a whole group of people, this place is a good choice since there are something for everyone.
No lunch special!

Heaps of food graced our presence at the table and so did heaps of oil on the plates. Ew!
I didn't dare stuff myself to my fullest potential as I normally do when I had Chinese. I honestly was disgusted. Chinese food is normally greasy, but this was over-the-top.
The previous reviewer praised Bayview Court - how can my experience be so far off?
Holiday or not, food should never be served with a perma-shine oil glazed coat and a layer of grease to stew in.Listed in: Diverse Tastes, CAUTION! Danger Ahead.

Fast friendly Cantonese restaurant. Shrimp and dim sum is best. Great for clients and families. Tea is ok. The Soup Noodle & Shrimp Won ton Dumplings is awesome and inexpensive. Gai Lan very tasty and fresh.
