May Yan Seafood Restaurant

What is May Yan Seafood Restaurant? Located within the bustling commercial strip at 4227 Sheppard Avenue East near Midland in Scarborough, May Yan Seafood Restaurant is a time-honored Cantonese dining institution celebrated for fresh seafood and banquet-style family feasts. The dining hall features live seafood holding tanks, classic banquet round tables equipped with lazy susans, and traditional warm red-and-gold dining accents. It draws generations of Scarborough Chinese families celebrating reunions, weekend dim sum, and evening seafood dinners.

May Yan Seafood Restaurant Menu & What to Order The kitchen’s crowning achievement is its live seafood preparation, led by the signature Live Lobster wok-fried with fragrant ginger, scallions, and supreme soy broth over crispy noodles. The Crispy Salt and Pepper Squid delivers an addictive, crunchy exterior seasoned with chilies and five-spice powder, while the two-course Peking Duck offers crackling roast skin wrapped in steamed pancakes followed by minced duck lettuce wraps. Conclude with braised E-Fu noodles and complimentary sweet red bean dessert soup.

Know Before You Go Large round tables accommodate family gatherings comfortably, with dinner reservations strongly advised for Friday through Sunday evenings. The kitchen operates six days a week from 11:00 a.m. with final food orders taken at 9:00 p.m., observing Tuesday closures. Free plaza parking is abundant, and the 85 Sheppard East bus stops steps away.
