Really enjoyed my meal at Xin Yi Time! It's getting harder to find affordable meals these days, so…read moreI was surprised that most dishes here are under $13 while still giving such massive portions. I tried the Taiwanese braised pork rice and it tasted very authentic -- super flavorful, well marinated, and nice and saucy. Every combo also comes with rice and 2 veggies, which makes it feel like a complete home-style meal. The shop itself is small and simple, run by a friendly Asian auntie, which gives it a cozy homemade vibe. Definitely more of a takeout spot, but great for a quick affordable comfort meal. Would come back again!

Xin Yi Time is a small take out spot located in the King Square Shopping Centre in Markham (though…read moreI believe they have w small tables with 4 chairs). I love their friendly service, efficiency, delicious food and their great value. They have a la carte items on the menu, and also set meal deals. I personally ally love their side dishes the most. I highly recommend that yoh get their cooked eggplants if available!

I love to drop by this place when I'm at Markham Yorktech Costco. The display is clean and prices…read moreand weights are clearly displayed. Upon entering, you will see rows and rows of display cases full of frozen dimsum and foods. There is so much variety. Take a good look and you might see some interesting not-so-common dishes. Black bean pork ribs and salted egg buns are a personal fav for me. Much better deal than at restaurants for sure (you know many of them use frozen anyway). If you'd like to snack on something right away, they have hot ready-to-eat snacks near the counter too, like egg tarts and BBQ pork buns. Unlike quite a few other cash-only Chinese frozen dimsum places, they take card payments, which works great for me. That being said, the price is a little higher. Plenty of free parking for the plaza.

I came here on a weekday at 6:00 pm We were the only ones…read moreinside :( They have a retail section to the left for prepackaged candies and trinkets. They have a dining section in the center and the frozen dim sum to the right I specifically came for the dim sum Unfortunately it didn't wow me The price point was $5.99 to $6.99 as the cheapest to upwards of $12.99 to $13.99 for the high end I grabbed a few must haves 1. Sui mai 2. Har how 3. Bean curd rolls 4. Sticky rice I noticed for this price range the quantity was lacking There was some serious shrinkflation. The pieces inside each bag were only 4-5 and they were very small It would have been ok if I took it home and the taste and flavour were a wow factor But again unfortunately It was a disappointment I probably won't be back as I will go to other frozen dim sum locations namely (FuKee Bao Dim) Sorry not my cup of tea namely (Yum Chaa)

We were first time here to try the daily special. Thursday was beef rice noodles. I was considering…read moreabout the noodle was too thick that my little girl wouldn't like to eat it. But turned out she liked it so much, and ate a lot of beef. My husband got a bowl of beef cheese rice. The melted cheese on the top was super good. I love that too.

They're now half a Hong Kong café vibe, so we came for breakfast…read more Food was alright. Interesting combos and price isn't insane. I'd say it's pretty decent for what you get, and comparable with other HK cafés. Ventilation is still mediocre. OKAY ONTO THE MAIN POINT. Look at my coffee picture. Does that look like a whole cup of coffee?? No. This is HALF a cup at max. I swirled the coffee around and asked how this is a whole cup of coffee because there's so much space. Note for the future: DO NOT GET HOT DRINKS IN TO-GO CUPS. THEY GIVE ONLY HALF THE CUP.

Afternoon tea was quite empty on a Wednesday afternoon. They have daily specials which I might back…read morefor. Came with a newborn and the waitress was rather chatty, typical neighbourhood feels. Dry stirfryed beef rice noodles - Feels like afternoon tea size. Decent flavour, but still lacking the smoky taste. Hk French Toast - Extra for a layer of peanut butter in the middle. Came with condensed milk on top which is rather unique touch. The batter was rather eggy, and not very crispy, which makes for a dense toast. Chicken wings and fries - Love me some salt and pepper wings. These one were lightly battered so gave a nice bite to the wings. Wings were well seasoned. Fries were also great, would get again.

Went for their afternoon tea (230-530) and got the usual hk style toast and beef rice noodle…read more The hk style toast is only a little crispy on the edges. I paid an additional $0.50 to add peanut butter, but only a third of it had peanut butter... Otherwise it was rather tasty though, so buttery. It's drizzled with lots of condensed milk and a slab of butter on top. If I were to get it again, I wouldn't bother with the peanut butter. The hk style milk tea is okay. Just a teeny bit oversteeped, and subtle tea flavour. The beef rice noodle was not evenly coated (still some white seen from the noodle), and oily. Didn't have 'wok hey' either. Limited beef pieces. Would not get again. Very modern looking inside, I suspect this place is rather new. Service is fine, but not busy at all when we went. There are better places, but I might come back to try their daily special (hainan ch on Monday).

Dong Hai Tong is such a long standing café & bakery in Markham for a good reason…read more Their lunch are tasty, fast, inexpensive, and with a decent amount of choices. Honestly can't ask for more and this is why it's always jam packed at lunch time. Good news is that people are usually eat-and-go without sticking around for long. So even with the crowd, you might be able to get a seat in 10~15 min during the busiest time. Alternatively, quite a bit of people simply call-in for takeout's and Uber. Awesome price-value, decent authenticity, jam-packed at lunch time, with good amount of parking space. Not a bad choice.

Come early and come often! I got my favorites and tried some new bakery treats here. I was not…read moredisappointed and felt very nostalgic here. The pineapple bun is my all time favorite. Also try out the HK Milk tea, it comes with or without sugar. Very good. Service was very authentic and straight to the point. They want to serve you quickly. Prices are reasonable with the rate of inflation. Ambiance was nice and the aroma of fresh baked goods just feels great. I have been here many times.

Such a great Thai place in Scarborough!…read more I came here for the first time in August 2025 when my friend suggested going here for dinner. I love trying new restaurants, especially Thai ones, so I was definitely excited to try their food. We got a Jasmine Tea and spring rolls to share, and thenwe each got our own Pad Thai orders. My friend is vegetarian, so she was able to get hers fully vegan with no problems. I got the Chicken Pad Thai, it was absolutely delicious! The vegetables were fresh and the sauce was so tasty! I especially loved that they had house made chilli oil which was one of the best one I've ever had! I'll definitely be back

#whenhungerstrikes17 Our journey takes us to this small Thai restaurant at Kingston Rd and Warden…read moreAve. The decor is charming and welcoming. Some pictures of menu items hanging on the wall. Some small wooden tables and chairs for dine-in guests. The restaurant was not busy when we visited around 1:30 pm on a Sunday. Parking is only paid street parking, which is $2.75 per hour via Green P. We ordered a bunch of lunch specials at $12.99. It comes with choice of pop or you can upgrade to premium drink for $3.50 like Thai Ice tea, Thai lemon tea, Thai matcha green tea, Thai ice coffee (O-Liang), Mango/guava/pineapple juice, Thai coco water. The Thai ice tea was served in a mason jar mug. Very refreshing drink. The appetizers were good. We got the deep-fried coco shrimps (6) $13.25. The shrimps were served with a coleslaw salad and a tamarind dipping sauce. We tried the pork satay skewers (3) $10.95. The skewers were served with peanut dipping sauce and pickled daikon and carrots. The skewers were a bit on the small side. The green curry chicken lunch special was a standout. The broth was aromatic and spicy. The curry was served in a small bowl with chicken breast, bamboo shoots, green peppers, and broccoli. My wife enjoyed her curry. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao - Drunken noodles, which is a stir fried thick rice noodle with scrambled egg, bell peppers, fresh chilies, bamboo, young green peppercorn in Thai basil sauce. The noodles were not too spicy and just the right depth of flavors. The A9 papaya salad appetizer platter (4 person) $45.99 was kind of pricey but offerred a variety of appetizers like spring rolls, coco shrimp, tofu wedges, salted egg, shrimp chips and choice of green mango or papaya salad. The platter is nicely presented, but it's hard to justify the price point. Overall, it was a great experience. They server was very kind and courteous. They also sell some Thai local products on a shelf. We wanted to order the mango sticky rice dessert, but unfortunately, mangoes were not in season, so the dessert was not available. I would definitely come back. I just wish they were closer to home. #whenhungerstrikes definitely mark this one on your bucket list. I will try their Khao Soi noodles next time.

The chef/server was incredibly friendly and helpful, especially if you haven't had dim sum before (not relevant in my case but perfect if you've never had it. They have a really good combo plate for one. Highly recommend

The tofu pudding is sooo much better than when I first had it during their grand opening. I ordered…read morethe one with ginger ice cream which I absolutely loved and it was not too sweet. It's a must order every time I visit!! Also tried the winter melon tea with 3 toppings. While this was good, I felt it was too sweet. The misua was good as usual and I actually prefer it more than Taiwan. The pomelo flavour radish is also unique and balances out the other dishes.

Saw many reviews of this place when it first opened and I finally got to try it this year…read more Small portions but great if you are looking for something light. Got the mixed noodles and mixed chicken and pork rice. Also got the sweet potato fries to start, very sweet. It's similar to the honey butter chips. The noodles had a Smokey flavour, very different than any noodles I've had. Loved the intestines and beef, tender and flavourful. The space was nicely decorated. Order via app and pay at the counter. Food came out quickly, everyone looked cooked already on the hot table.
