Perfect location to grab food after walking the trails nearby! Service was fast and friendly…read more There's a few tables, but quite bare-bones in terms of set up. Looked like people were mostly getting takeout. My friend got the brisket and I got the wings. I was kind of surprised by their brisket as it came all pulled, rather than as slices. Not what I'd expect at a bbq place. It was hard to tell if the meat was well made as everything was drowned in sauce. It was tender though. The wings were a little overdone, and the bone-in ones only had the option of bbq sauce. I'd have loved some dry rub choices too. Tasty but nothing special. Overall, it's an okay lunch option for the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to get bbq from here.

We got the gamjatang jeongol and it was massive for two people. There were raw pork belly slices on top of the gamjatang so I had to make sure they were fully cooked before consuming. It was hard because there was a lot of soup so it made it extra difficult to push the raw items to the bottom. We ordered less spicy but it was still really spicy! It was flavourful and they gave lots of pork bone. We took the rest home and I had to add water to dilute it lol.

For a group of three, we went with budaejjigae (army stew), which is good for two to four people. The server seemed surprised that we weren't ordering more. If the menu lists that it can feed four people, it seemed like plenty for us, and we aren't big eaters. We received four side dishes -- cucumbers, radishes, nappa cabbage kimchi, and one we weren't familiar with. We asked the server what it was, and he said the name, but we still didn't know what it was. I asked him to repeat it, and he appeared quite annoyed that he had to say it more than once. The army stew wasn't cooking once the server had set it down on the table. It looked like the butane gas canister was empty. We used the call button to call the server back, since he was nowhere to be found. The army stew had luncheon meat, sausage, beans, zucchini, kappa cabbage, tofu, rice cakes, instant ramen, and a slice of American cheese. It was delicious.  Overall, the food is good, but the service is quite lacking. We felt like we were bothering the server by inquiring about the side dish, asking for extra chopsticks, and requiring another gas canister.

My visit to Noodle Max would be one of these unexplained phenomenon. I was really hoping to try this hyped up beef noodle place in Richmond Hill, only to have my hope squashed by a long line up at 4:20pm in the afternoon. 4:20!!! WTH!!! On a snowy, slushy late afternoon, I blindly (and slowly) drove my way aimlessly to Aurora. I remember some Asian restaurant getting rave reviews up in Aurora and that being Noodle Max (maybe it wasn't so aimless). If you are someone who believes in destiny, I can tell you destiny will occasionally give you sxxxxy things. Noodle Max would be one of them. Noodle Max's main offerings are Lan Zhou style noodles and was it ever an unauthentic and underwhelming experience. I wouldn't go as far to say the soup was tasteless like water, but it's pretty bland. While the soup for Lan Zhou noodles are not generally crazy strong in flavour, it should still have the taste of spices. The beef slices were also pretty tame in flavour. They were ok. The main plus about their noodle was the portion; quite big. The noodle had better texture than most store bought noodles, but it did not have the proper floury taste and the limited flavours from the soup was not able to hang onto the noodles. Aurora used to be a black hole in terms of dining options, but not anymore. How Noodle Max continued to garner such a high Yelp and Google rating befuddles me.

Really Did not like our experience at this location. First, she charged us more for a wrong order…read more We waited extremely long for our food only to realize it's the wrong items she punched in to her system. There were only two other customers in the entire place so that was surprising they took so long. The positive is they have a ton of seating available and it's clean inside. While we were waiting for our food the only worker that was there left to get food from a neighbouring restaurant or T&T (I couldn't tell but assumed maybe they ran out of food for our order but I could be wrong) then we waited even longer. You can see I took a picture of another customer who came in and was waiting with no employees there. Then after 15 mins MORE of waiting for whoever in the kitchen to add the rice in to the chicken they gave us our food. We weren't able to eat it there so had to take it to go at this point since we were late for an appointment. I asked the employee to give me a price difference refund since she charged us for a more expensive dish versus what we actually ordered. Be careful when you go here. The other locations are great just avoid this one if you can.

Great AYCE sushi & Asian fusion restaurant in Newmarket. Most sushi restaurants and AYCE places…read moreserve only lettuce salad as veggie option, but Cynthia's Paradise actually had good veggies on the menu (grilled zucchini, okra, eggplant, mixed vegetables consisting of broccoli, carrot, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, etc.). My favourite was the grilled zucchini (not overcooked and very lightly seasoned). Least favourite was the grilled eggplant (nice texture but way too saucy). Everything else on the menu was decent, including the sushi and sashimi. Sushi rolls were on the small side, and not overly the top amazing, but as expected for an AYCE restaurant. Hand rolls were excellent (especially the unagi hand roll) - loved the crispy seaweed on the outside, and slices of cucumber added inside. Dim sum was mediocre (only tried the har gow / steamed shrimp dumplings). The grilled stuff were good - grilled vegetables, scallops, squid. Portion sizes were perfect (small), so you get to order a wide variety of items to share from their large selection. Even their dessert menu was more extensive than in a lot of other sushi / AYCE restaurants -- they had lychee yogurt, tiramisu, blueberry & coconut ice cream, matcha ice cream, and other light fruit-based desserts. Although the restaurant touts itself as "Japanese, Korean, and Thai", it's about 70% Japanese (typical AYCE sushi menu items), 27% Thai (mostly the noodles and some stir-fried dishes), and 3% Korean (only 1 dish was quasi-Korean). Good food selection overall though. Ordering was done efficiently on the iPad, with a cute and polite robot that came to deliver your food (pretty common robot in a lot of sushi and hot pot restaurants these days). I found the interior to be quite dark, but I guess that was the aesthetic that they were going for.
