Wonton Hut Noodle Bar
A small no-frill Wonton Noodle place, limited menu of noodles in soup & lo-mein only, with a few selection of toppings, authentic Cantonese dumplings, shrimp wonton, fish balls and braised beef brisket, very tasty broth, beef brisket very soft & succulent, service was a bit slow, popular with take-outs.
I've driven by this restaurant many times but had never tried until this weekend. We went after 1:30pm on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. Got seated right away. We ordered via QR code on the table, and the food came quickly. We got the wonton noodle soup with egg noodles, beef brisket rice noodle soup, and hot milk tea. Wonton noodle soup - 3/5 - nothing special - they were a little on the salty side for my taste, and noodles weren't as flavourful as some others I've had but the texture was good. Beef brisket noodles - 4.5/5 - the brisket was very good. Tender and flavourful, and not too fatty. It needs a little more broth for the noodles. Milk tea - 4/5 - hot, strong, and tasty. No complaints
Hong Kong Chicken 梅縣客家 鹽焗雞
A REAL Hakka restaurant! I almost pokai when I found this place thinking that no way this is real. Yep, it is real and is not the Indian Hakka that we always see!!!! Stuffed peppers and tofu was really yummy! Had the lo bak and it was nice. Salt baked chicken was delicious! I will come back.
An amazing place with high quality authentic food and a friendly atmosphere. Although the place is small, it may be some of the best chicken in the entire mall. If you choose to dine there, you will also find that you get incredible portion sizes for affordable prices. I’d really recommend coming here and getting to taste the incredible food that awaits.
Yunshang Rice Noodle (First Markham Place) 云尚米线
We always order the Classic Rice Noodle Soup (free noodle refill) and the Beef with Chili Sauce. Highly recommend to get the $20 VIP membership. Favour and quality are consistent across different Yunshang locations.
Quick seating, fast service and order by phone. You can get a free refill of noodles. The sauerkraut fish tasted very good. However the tripe and braised chicken fell short. I would definitely recommend the noodles over the braised chicken.
Yin Ji Chang Fen
Yin Ji Chang Fen is a wonderful Chinese restaurant that specializes in rice rolls. The rice rolls are freshly made to order and you can select different stuffing such as shrimp, beef and mushrooms. They have many other good dishes as well such as noodles and congee. Service is efficient and food is served quickly, we were out in under 30 minutes.
The famous rice noodle rolls are a must try. There are many types of porridge and those taste good. There are many other foods to choose from.
Jin's Mi-Fen (Authentic Hunan Style Rice Mifen) 津米粉馆
Small, cozy spot. Fast, flavourful food. This was my first visit to this location, as I usually visit the Ajax location. Service is extremely fast, I would estimate a 1-2min wait after putting the order in. Order by qr code provided at the table. There is little service unless you call them, for new water bottle etc. Imagine a food court style, where you order, get your food, and eat at the table on your own, however they do bring out the food for you. We had a large group today, total 10 people. My friend called in advance for them to save a spot for us. Food was flavourful, I got mild zhacai pork with extra pork and it was a good amount of heat. I forgot to add extra veg today. My companions had never tried Jin's before, and they all said it was good. Portions are very generous, and one of the options is extra noodles at no extra charge. I got my husband the triple beef in medium, he said it was quite spicy for his tolerance level. I got the black fungus pork for my daughter. I also got the demon egg and tofu for my companions to try, it is one of my favourite side dishes at Jin's. It is slightly spicy with a lot of flavour.
The portion sizes appear larger in the restaurant's photos. In reality, the protein portions are particularly small. The flavor is too rich and heavy-handed, which is overly salty and oily for our taste. On the positive side, you can customize your meal by choosing to have the broth with your noodles or on the side. Additionally, the restaurant offers free noodle refills, which is a nice touch. However, our experience was inconsistent, as one of our noodle dishes was piping hot, while the other was only lukewarm. The service is minimal and lacking, with little attention from the staff. The restaurant itself is small, seating only about 15-20 people. Parking is also limited, with a small free lot that may be full during peak weekend hours.
祥德齋 XIANG DE ZHAI
I was surprised to find Xiang De Zhai to be one of more popular stalls at First Markham Place. They serve traditional Tianjin bites & pastries including the traditional jianbing pancakes and tofu pudding. Even the cashier has a snarky attitude like a street vendor. Freshly made, the crunchy jianbing is a sizeable bite that we got hot and spicy. The tofu pudding was savory with plenty of peanut butter sauce. Both tasted pretty delicious although the price for this duo was about the same as a huge platter nearby!
Quick eat. Tried the Jiang Bang Savoury Crepe. There are three different types of crepes. One side is savoury, the other side is sweet Hoi Sin sauce almost. I got the #1. One side had some parsley and egg. It's also folded with some crispy flatbread inside. You have the option of putting dough fritters instead. Basically, it can serve 2 for $5.99. if you add additional ingredients like meat, it will cost a bit more. It's piping hot as it's made on the griddle. The place also has a variety of other dishes from noodles to dumplings. Recommend to try Tianjin cuisine. Service was quick and efficient.
Yu Grilled Fish House (Qia Yu)恰鱼
Unique grilled fish restaurant which is served in a soup, and a heated pan keeping the dish hot. It's on the pricier side, but one fish can be shared amongst 2+ people along with other dishes. Food tastes good, and servers are polite. They can speak Cantonese and Mandarin. Worth trying if you're in the area. The tables are spacious.
Grilled Fish Lovers, This One’s for You! Crispy skin, juicy meat, and a spicy kick that hits just right Loaded with veggies, bold flavors, and seriously addictive sauce. I often eat at this restaurant. All the dishes are delicious.
Yin Ji Chang Fen (Hwy7)
Kinda small inside and quite busy for a weekday lunch. Food was good, decent value. There's a step at the entrance so need to be careful and it's not wheelchair friendly.
The taste of food is good but the congee was quite watery and our oyster congee just had about 6 oysters and cost 10 bucks something. The service is not as expected. We did dine in and take away, we asked the staff to help with the order of take away during our meal, she responded that we have to do it online ourselves. But actually the online ordering page was not so user friendly. First of all, it sometimes stuck and cannot be scroll down. Secondly, it did not provide the option to choose dine in or take away, you have to do it in the remarks of every items you ordered, and before that I thought it was only for the special arrangements for the ingredients only, kind of confused. Finally, there was no options for you to choose the bundles for breakfast since there is a discount in the morning. We used 10 mins to figure it out that we needed to do it online and the staff help to give you a hot drink for free. I did not know why they just made it either online or by staff. Anyways, while we figured it out, the staff told me that I was late for 2 mins so I did not get the promotion.
TAI ER SICHUAN CUISINE 太二酸菜鱼 (MARKHAM)
The food was so-so. Not much kitchen staff, only 2 people working kitchen as opposed to 8 servers outside. The food took super long to come out. The food wasn’t good either, pretty generic tasting food. The portions were small. The chef recommended fish dish wasn’t even good, I would say your average cook from frozen type food. The braised pork belly was tender, but super dry. I think best was the noodles. I guess those tasted the freshest made. Everything else tasted like it just “restaurant reheated” Bill was $55 plus tip for 2 people, we ordered 2 dishes and an order noodles.
The fish dish is fresh and delicious. We ordered 2 people combo. The portion of the food is relatively big. The interior design of the restaurant is modern and you will love eating here. It is clean and services is very good.
Shaanxi Restaurant
Two of us went for dinner and ordered three dishes: Xi'an style cold noodles (凉皮),Picked bun with lamb in Shanxi style(羊肉泡馍),and Big platter spicy chicken with hand pulled noodles(大盘鸡). Everything tasted so good and authentic except that there was only very few pieces of lamb in the picked bun with lamb dish and most were fat. The chicken dish was very big portion and would strongly recommend.
Plenty parking at Commerce Gate. Authentic northern china-style restaurant. We visited on Wednesday late afternoon, there were only 2 tables and not many people. Good customers service. Believe the lady is the owner. She was friendly and attentive. Prices are decent. We like our sour fish in soup. It's one of my favourite dish anywhere, anytime. Lamb Skewers are flavourful and little spicy.
Zunyan Restaurant
The restaurant is known for its spacious private rooms and excellent service, creating a favorable dining experience for guests. Our 10 people went there for lunch, we got a private room. The food is exquisite, with creative plating that makes each dish feel like a work of art. The flavors are also wonderfully fresh and delicious. The service is very attentive and considerate, with staff frequently changing plates and refilling tea. It’s a delightful experience.
Had such a lovely dinner at Zunyan Restaurant. The private rooms are extremely spacious and the service is amazing. All of the dishes were good but my personal favourites were the Geoduck, chicken in chilli oil, and the lobster salad. Oh and you can’t go wrong with steamed crab. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!
Shudaxia Hotpot | 蜀大侠火锅 (超值午餐 9.99)
I love hotpot and Shudaxia is one of the best places that offers high quality and fresh All You Can Eat hotpot. The staff are extremely nice and welcoming. We got to try out the Chinese outfit and I even wore my outfit throughout the whole dinner. Lol The decorations are very authentic and beautiful and the seating arrangement makes it suitable for solo dining, couples or groups. They offer a pleasant atmosphere for guests to enjoy their meal and they don’t rush you out of the restaurant. The menu offers great variety of meat, pork, seafood, vegetables and tofu. You can choose the broth and spice level for the soup and you can cook them to your liking at your table. It’s an exciting dining experience.
First time coming to this place. We were welcomed by the inviting decoration. Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful Chinese lanterns hanging on the ceiling. They recommended ordering the two flavour soup base. We chose one non-spicy and one mild spicy. You scan the code on the table and order online. Most items are free, expect for a few cost extra. Unlimited drinks with an extra cost per person ($5.99) From time to time, they would come refill the soup, not with water, but the actual soup base itself. You can get your own condiments (free). Overall, it was a nice experience, although seating was bit uncomfortable because they were wooden benches. Would recommend!
