We were then told that the business will be going through a rebrand with a new name and new menu offerings. For the moment the only thing that has changed is the menu. The exterior and interior is exactly the same. Flavours are very Asian fusion with things like kimchi fried rice and bi bim bap but there are also more mainstream items such as Rigatoni Alfredo with chicken and short rib Benedict. Flavours are still good with decent portions. We were checked on several times so service was good. What was a miss was how the food came out of the kitchen. Food came out sporadically with the last dish a full 10 minutes after the first leaving that person sitting and waiting while everyone else ate. This is still a very popular place. It was almost full for a Monday lunch.

Overall, for the prices charged, this restaurant is a bit disappointing. This is mainly due to the…read morefact that the service is not up to what it should be. There were long waits for the food, which for a party of four did not all come together. It was also probably sitting in the kitchen. Some of the food wasn't all that warm.. very little was done to make up for this as well. The food and presentation was overall very good, but just not served properly.. If we were to give the place, another chance we would wanna mention to the servers right at the start the experience we had the last time and to make sure none of these issues were to arise again. The ambiance would've been better if it wasn't so noisy and that's without full tables nearby. Parking in the plaza is very difficult, anď time consuming.

It's a beautiful restaurant though and had good vibes. Service was good although it did slow down as we reached peak lunch time. The items that took the longest to come were the pho but this was acceptable since we weren't in a rush. The satay pho had a good kick to it and there was quite a bit of rare beef inside. Next time I would probably do a little bit of everything for their toppings. I think more noodles could have been added for a large pho but I was full. Next time I'd come to try more of their bbq items and appetizers. It's a bit of a splurge but definitely has a unique menu!

The menu mainly focuses on rice and noodle dishes, but they also have bar snacks and juices, which is a nice touch. I ordered the popcorn chicken, which is a must every time I come--still solid and flavorful. I also got the curry laksa shrimp. It wasn't anything special, but it satisfied my craving for stir-fry ramen. We shared the flaming chicken as well. It doesn't come with much on its own, so we added extra toppings, but it didn't hit the same as it used to. Overall, it's a fun place with good energy and dependable options, especially if you're in the mood for hot, sizzling dishes.

The line was moving decently. Wait was about an hour from the doors open. Not including waiting. Servers turned tables as quickly as possible.

I would prefer more chew to the udon. Perhaps the sizzling plates cooked it a bit more than nessary. It wasn't mush but definitely perfered if there was a chew. The star of the show was the sizzling plates when it comes out it's like a surprise. There is paper around the dish to prevent the sizzling splatter. Good solid meal simple and quick.

Initially we were going for the idea of breakfast, but timing was a bit off from what we anticipated and it was a really nice lunch date instead. I love the Markham Marriott, the staff is always warm and welcoming. Draco has a very sleek, sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. We both ordered Bacon & Cheddar burgers. I opted for a Caesar salad as an appetizer and hubby ordered their Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak. Let's start with the apps. The Caesar salad was SO good! I wish I had taken a pic, but admittedly, my phone was tucked away and I was caught up in the cozy seating, great food and Christmas vibes of the restaurant and lobby. Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak: $33 - Buttercup Squash Puree and Truffle Oil - Everything you want Wagyu to be - tender, cooked to the perfect temp which left a nice warm red centre. This was melt in your mouth good! The burgers - these were perfection! Draco Bacon Cheddar Burger: $25 - Aged Cheddar with Crispy Bacon Strips; Crispy Onion Straws, Arugula and Garlic Aioli. This was a very well seasoned patty, so juicy and a substantial sized patty of fresh not frozen beef. The bun was lightly toasted, bacon crispy, easily taking this into my top 3 fav spots for burgers! Options for sides include fries, sweet potato fries, poutine, side Caesar or garden salad or truffle fries. We finished off our meal with 2 really good cappuccinos and just took our time before heading home. This was our first time back here in a few years. The food was exceptional as was the service and the warm staff. Draco is the perfect spot for an early morning breakfast, work or lunch date or a nice cozy dinner. They also have Christmas & New Years dinners and brunches. Relax in the restaurant with drinks or in the adjacent lounge, this is a great spot to unwind with some great food and drinks.
