We always drive by and even go to the food place in the plaza, but have never stopped here! It was surprisingly delicious and the menu choices have a really great variety! I will definitely bring my family and have another meal here. Very reasonable prices also read more

This is one of my favourite markham HK cafe. Now they offer malatang. Their prices are still very good compared to what's out there. They have all day breakfast specials as well as tea time. I like how you can get cold soy milk with your combo without paying extra. I tried their Malatang recently and although there is a minimum weight, you're looking at about $12-14 starting which is typical pricing. Spicy broth was delicious!! read more

The restaurant is a decent size of restaurant. No wait but kind a hot. The menu have different variety of foods to choose from. We order different types and it came pretty fast. It taste delicious. The ambiance is pretty good. We will definitely come back here again. read more

tried the congee here and it wasn't bad! I got the pork congee and it came with the fried dough fritters as well. In total it cost about $12 which is somewhat reasonable. Overall, I found the food not bad bit would probably need to try some other stuff to get a better idea! read more

I came here a few times before, it's in a decent sized plaza which is easy to find parking. The restaurant is big with lots of seating available. This time I went for their afternoon tea special - ordered Shanghai fried noodle which came with a hot drink - ordered a milk tea. The portion for the food is pretty decent, can easily share it with two people. The prices are not bad either. Will certainly come back again read more

Decided to try this place out after my mom saw recommendations from a Chinese Youtuber. Decent and spacious Hong Kong style cafe, with wide selections on the menu- from all-day breakfast to combos to simple fried rice/ noodles, we came during the afternoon tea hour (2p-5p) so we picked our meal based on the tea menu. Their afternoon tea choices ranged from simple PB&J to fried noodles/ rice and each meal comes with a complimentary hot drink or soy milk or add $1 for cold drinks. We opted for their homemade shrimp ball vermicelli and Shanghai Noodles, a classic HK milk tea and cold MTC (milk tea and coffee mix- a staple Hong Kong drink). Both dishes were quite decently portioned for an afternoon tea price, especially the Shanghai noodles- we had to bring home half the plate and it was enough to bring as lunch the next day! Flavour wise.... the shrimp ball was quite bouncy, and has a nice firm texture, but tasted a little salt water in it. The soup in the vermicelli has barely any flavors, so an extra dash of soy sauce would be helpful. Shanghai noodle tasted a little sweeter than the flavour we were used to, a little lack in that dark brown colour. Overall, given at what you paid and what you get, I would say it's worth your buck. read more

Dropped by Kitchen M on a Friday evening with my mom, around 6:30pm and it was averagely busy. It's mostly popular with older people, or small families. The parking lot is very empty, despite sharing it with several other services and restaurants. We were seated in a booth, since we were a party of two. The menu is quite extensive, ranging from all-day breakfast to your regular HK cafe foods, to steamed lotus leaf rice. We opted for the staple baked pork chop rice and the steamed pork neck lotus leaf rice (pictured). Both meals came with a drink. The menu said that the leaf rice would take 15-20 minutes, but it really came about 10 minutes in. The portion sizes are huge, so it's really worth the value. Both of us could only finish half! The service is about average. We ordered a horlick and a lemon tea and despite the server repeating the order back to us, thought we had said a horlick and milk tea. We ordered another meal to go with a lemon tea too and thought we had said milk tea. The server also seemed to be a bit nervous (maybe their first day?) and it took a little while to order. They generally left us alone for the rest of the meal though. 7/10 There are definitely better HK cafes in the area, but it's good for a quick, cheap fix. read more

This is the worst HK cafe I had for a long time. The Russian borch soup was so sweet. The dish all had so much sauce and salty. The quality was bad. The table was oily and felt uncomfortable never cone here again read more

We were here for the first time and ordered their sirloin steak (3 star) medium rare. It came with parts rare so had them cook it further. We felt that the gravy may have ruined or altered the steak taste to the downside. It tasted well cooked and seasoned. It's just not at par with the steak houses, of course. Soft shell crab rice was ok. We also had their combo (3 choices - at the back of their menu) - sliced beef, tofu and grouper and general tao chicken. All were decent but we d say they are not as good as Bayview Kitchen (Major Mack and Bayview). Again, they don't taste bad. They're decent. There were customers who were taking out as well. We did not try any of their snacks or breakfast ones including the drinks though. We had coffee and it had milk as well on it. It's ok but not the best. read more

I wish they could open earlier say 8 am same as other Hong Kong style cafe around Markham area so that I could go there for breakfast before go to work, I have so many co workers like this place for food too, sometimes too bad they open a bit late which is not convenient. Hope the owner will think about it. read more

They offer a long list of typical HK style foods. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable. Servers are friendly and polite. I'm just surprised there's no pineapple bun with butter on their menu. This is a must-have for any HK style Char Chaan Teng! read more

They failed an inspection on Oct 16, 2024 due to unclean surfaces and lack of garbage removal.

The other day, I deviated from my norm. After getting my bloodwork done, I tend to hit McDonald's for my beloved sausage and egg McGriddle combo. After fasting for more than twelve hours, I want food immediately after my bloodwork. I tend to visit the northeast corner of McCowan and Highway 7 often. I like the pho place, with a Baskin-Robbins steps away. The last time I came back from Waterloo for work, I wanted dinner and came here for pho. I looked over at Kitchen M and it piqued my interest. I decided to have breakfast here on Tuesday, after my bloodwork was over and I needed nourishment. I had no problems parking in this plaza. Kitchen M is a Cantonese-style eatery. I don't know what the M stands for. Maybe it was taunting Me, Mary, to come in... haha! I walked in. A woman asked me in Cantonese how many were in my party. It was just me. I sat down at a series of tables mashed together. I got hot water. I felt like a child at home again! The breakfast menu brought back childhood memories of having Hong Kong milk tea and macaroni in soup. I carefully looked at all the yummy options. I did option D from the breakfast menu section. It consists of two fried eggs, sausage, and buttered toast. I then added option 2, which is luncheon meat macaroni in soup. I also ordered Hong Kong milk tea. Growing up, I had Hong Kong milk tea. I got tired of it by the time I hit grade 8 and switched to milk. It tasted just like what I had back then, except that I needed cookies to dunk them into it. My food came super fast. I swear that it was a five-minute wait after I had placed my order when everything came to my table. It was better than getting fast food at McDonald's! These days, I tend to like my eggs overhard. The yolks were runny, which was how I ate them growing up. I swear that I was reliving my childhood by dunking buttered toast to sop up the runny yolky goodness. The sausages were yummy. It was all perfect. I have never had macaroni in soup for breakfast. My mom used to make it for dinner. This bowl of deliciousness is perfect from breakfast. I loved the vegetables in it. The macaroni had the perfect firmness that I enjoy. The soup wasn't overly salty. It was just right. Let me praise the luncheon meat in this macaroni. My love for fried-up luncheon meat came from my mom. I love it by itself, in sandwiches, in soups, ... pretty much everything! It doesn't matter that it's mystery meat to me. I love it. It explains why I love hot dogs, I suppose. This luncheon meat was so good. I would order luncheon meat macaroni on its own for a meal if it were available. I am now craving it. I got all this food for $6.95 before taxes and tip. It was so cheap and so filling. My mind is still blown that I got so much food at an inexpensive price. Why did it take me so long to find this place?! There is a buzzer on each table where you can ask for assistance with your order, get your bill, and more. I didn't use it to get my bill. There were so many staff members walking around that it was easy to flag someone. This place allows you to pay in cash or by debit card. I was so thrilled that the latter was offered. I didn't have enough cash to pay for my meal. You have to go up to the counter to use the debit machine. All went well. I definitely am coming back here to get yummy food fast. I'm a fan, especially when I want to relive my mom's cooking and my childhood. I can see myself being retired, coming here for breakfast, pulling out a newspaper to read, and spending some leisurely time without feeling pressed to vacate the eatery after stuffing myself with decent food.

Thought this was just an HK style cafe place... NOPEEEE wrrronnnggg. They also serve Chinese stir fry dishes! Came here before for their cha chaan teng stuff... it's pretty average. Nothing to really write home about. Got their satay rice noodle soup + egg sandwich set as per yoozh. It's aight, better than Cafe Hollywood that's fo sho. My quest for the perfect HK egg sandwich continues tho - their scrambled eggs still weren't fluffy enough. Buttttt... recently, we came here for their dinner a couple times... and I'm shook. It's actually pretty OK food (albeit MSG-laden). Their fried dishes have "wok-hay", super fresh, and are all pretty flavourful (FROM MSG no doubt LOL). Prices here are cheap! Def a joint where locals come to avoid the dinner chaos closer East of Kennedy/7. Also, service is actually really good here! Super surprising for a very moderately priced Chinese restaurant. Honestly, I'm impressed - every one of the servers were courteous, efficient, and helpful. FYI, the $83 set was advertised in the Chinese newspaper as for 6-8 people. NAH. More like 4 hungry people or 6 meh-appetite people. read more

Came here for lunch and was surprised with their large selection for their lunch combo's. Each lunch combo comes with a soup + main + hot drink. Rice with pork preserved vegetable - The dish is average, the pork was not as tender as I expected(compared to any other restaurant) and the sauce is a bit sweet. Overall a decent place to grab lunch for their variety of lunch combo's. read more

Kitchen M - Rice with pork preserved vegetable - Chinese Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

Just an update so don't expect a whole tapestry. Food was okay so it could've been 3* but was the service ever horrible. I don't know what was in the water that made these ladies snappy and rude but that day, they were very rude when getting the bill for us. I know I don't usually incorporate service into Chinese places but there IS a minimum, and the minimum is human decency and basic respect. I don't appreciate the cut-eyes, 師奶。 read more

I'm reviewing this from the perspective that I wanted something quick and cheap... and this place is descent. The prices are cheap and they have a large menu. I tried their breakfast special (satay noodles, eggs sandwich, and hot milk tea) and it was okay. I felt the beef texture was a bit tough. But service was quick ... we were in and out of there in 45 mins. This is the place to go if you want something quick or a late night snack. read more

Food is bad... cleanliness of the restaurant is bad. Saw the waiter clean everywhere using the same rag...-_-". I guess he didn't even rinsed it. One of the waitress had an unique style of taking orders lol. We called out the order using the dish name. She told me to give her the item number. Second dish I ordered by giving the item number then she will ask for the dish name. We went back and forth for several more dishes then I got fed up so I just pointed to the dish on the menu and let her write whatever she understand on her paper. Worst part was when she repeated the orders back to us. She used the item number and expect customers to know the menu by heart??? I was thinking what is really going on with the food industry nowadays.... I am embarrass to tell people I work in the same industry if there are more waiter/ress like her out there. read more

I was indecisive when studying their menus. They have so so so many choices. I am not exaggerated. Definitely true. It is a great menus which overwhelmingly cause people like me indecisive or mind changing on food orders. It makes you wanna return again for other choices. Love this part as we customers have more options. My Kitchen is an authentic HK style tea and food restaurant. Afternoon menu start at 230pm, small portion for noodle in soup for hungry lady like me. I really like their red bean French toast, I can only find it from here. Definitely a wonderful addition of HK style tea house in Markham. I love it spacious and order buttons so you don't have to wave your hand or scream out loud. :) love their French toast thick one . They did a good job and make me return 2x at least . One star lost because from my visit history their size of any afternoon tea set soup noodle is always smaller than other regular items and the quality of ho fun can be improved. I rather spend a regular price for a decant size of noodle. Try their French toast with red bean from the afternoon set menu, it is my favorite not overly sweet. Their Milk tea are okay. not better and worse. It is generally an acceptable cheap eat place and adequate service. The greeter from the bar is always so welcoming as soon as you walk in ( if the young man is working) :) read more

I'm actually ok with this place but recently we had been getting take out more instead of dinning in and there's lots of quality issues with the take out. If you're a ordering take out, Make sure you open your take out before going home. So this time I decided to take pictures and warn people. You can see there's egg shells stuck on the French toast and they still have the sticker on the lemon in the iced lemon tea. Other times, they always give us spoiled bad veggies that's like brown and yellow colour! I thought it was just a one time thing but NO, it's everytime with spoiled veggies. They really need to be more ethical and honest! read more

Decent HK Cafe with a HUGE menu selection from fried rice/ wok dishes/ hk style baked goods/ etc. Too many to name ! Kitchen M prices would be on the cheaper side especially with the price you're paying they give you HUGE portions. I could never finish a baked dish on my own so usually I would split it with a friend and order a snack. They have some unique snacks which are pretty good too, I would reccomend to try their salted egg yolk chicken wings YUMMMM! Whether it's for lunch or dinner Kitchen M has great options! Also staff are really friendly which is rare at HK style cafes. They also accept cash and debit ! read more

This place is my constant go-to for great quality HK food. The menu has a wide range of selection for everyone and their HK milk tea is up to par with real HK milk tea!! The customer service is always consistent and they are efficient, the staff is also very friendly. For dine-in during COVID, they have adapted good physical distancing policies. I've noticed a lot of companies have raised their prices and limited their menu due to COVID, but Kitchen M hasn't done either of those, which is something I really appreciate. I highly recommend Kitchen M!! read more

While at Ming's Noodle Cafe, my parents noticed a sign on the wall that indicated that there was a "Kitchen M" in Markham. We looked it up later and realized it's located across from Markville Mall, which we frequent. So we decided to check it out. This place is much bigger than Ming's -- I assume they're all run by the same people (hence the ad in Ming's). It's so big that there's little devices on the tables for you to get a waitress to come over to get your order, get the bill, or ask for service. I suppose this is where the lack of service comes in -- if you don't ask for it, the waitresses might even ignore you! Overall, the menus seem more or less the same as Ming's. Food quality seems the same as well so that's a good thing. It's your typical HK cafe fare that is decently priced. Definitely coming back here if I want some HK cafe food before heading over to Markville Mall. read more

Decent Hong Kong style cafe in Markham right next to Markville mall. Their menu selection is pretty big so you are bound to find something to satisfy your craving. In addition to ordering off their regular menu, they offer morning breakfast deals, afternoon tea time deals, all day breakfast and dinner combos. Decent price point depending on what you order. You can get an egg sandwich for $3.50 and a bowl of instant noodles and a drink for $6.50. Not my fave cafe spot to go to, but definitely worth stopping by especially if you are in the area. read more

Kitchen M - Satay beef instant noodles with soy milk - Chinese Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

[LOCATION] - 5/5 This place is located on McCowan Rd and Hwy 7 E in the plaza with Subway. Lots of parking spots out front, and more spots in the back. [SERVICE] - 5/5 Our server was very nice! She made a couple recommendations and was very personable. Several other ladies checked on our table and made sure everything was good. [DÉCOR] - 4/5 Booths were comfortable, and had a more modern Hong Kong Style Café vibe. [QUALITY] - 3/5 Average-quality ingredients, but you get what you pay for. [ORDER] - 4/5 - Lobster on Steamed Rice - $19.95: such good value for the large portion size (there was enough food for 2 people)! The order came in a big bamboo dim sum steamer and we got a whole steamed lobster on a bed of fried rice. The taste of fried rice became a bit too one-dimensional after a while, so I would suggest ordering other dishes on the side. - All-Day Special - Egg Sandwich + Butter Toast + Shredded Pork & Pickle on Vermicelli Soup + Milk Tea - $6.45: so much food and so inexpensive! I think this is great for those who enjoy a variety of Hong Kong style breakfast foods. [OVERALL] - 4/5 Service was great, the ladies who helped us out were so friendly. Quality of food was average but portions and value were fair. I would recommend this place if you crave a simple and comforting meal. read more

2.5/5, +.5 for service The long anticipated stall that used to be Toro Sushi has finally opened. After passing by this place at least 10 times a week, I finally saw the open sign lit on Tuesday. Since I was busy yesterday, I decided to wait until tonight to eat here. For 9pm, this place was ridiculously busy. However I assume it was full of people who wanted to try this place for the first time, so I'm not expecting the full seated load to last. The menu here is very extensive. There was your typical HK style cafe options, as well as dim sum. There are two featured items on the menu which are also advertised outside the restaurant along the wall facing Highway 7. I decided to try one of them, which was the Shanghai style beef noodle soup (forgot the exact term). As we were waiting for our food, one of the employees gave us two 10% off cards, which are valid until January 31, 2015. The meal itself was also 10% off for their grand opening special. The food took a good 15-20 minutes to come, however the iced lemon and iced milk teas both came rather quick. The milk tea here seems to be better than the lemon tea, as my dad found the milk tea to be good and I found the lemon tea to be mediocre. As for the noodle soup...it was also mediocre. Edible at least, but definitely not what I would say memorable. There are a lot of other items in the menu that could be worth trying, but I'm gonna wait for other Yelpers to review this restaurant before considering coming back. read more

First time coming here with friends and toddlers. Family friendly. Limited parking. Located right across from Markville Mall, on the northeast corner. They do get busy around lunch time. It is a Hong Kong style cafe. Atmosphere 3/5 It is okay, nothing really stands out. Pretty average. Service 3/5 Average service, not really the service with a smile. More of a quick turnover to get through the day, so typical Hong Kong style service. The food came fast. Food 2.5/5 It is okay. I personally think it is a mixed bag depending on what your order. I ordered the Singaporean fried noodles. The BBQ pork in it was old and had a funny taste to it, but the rest of the dish was fine. So I didn't get a good experience from it. Overall it was decent, quality not too great, vary depending on your order. Price wise it is reasonable but I had better food at other Hong Kong style cafes. Probably not going to come back, due to the BBQ pork and too out of my way. read more

[Good] Brunch - Pretty good variety of HK cafe food for breakfast and brunch dining. From Western style eggs and sausages to more traditional HK fare such as congee and vermicelli, you should be able to find something you fancy on that particular morning. I've tried a few of the items now and all of them are solid if not particularly spectacular. I liked the Macau style pork chop bun with oatmeal. The meat was tasty and not dry. The mayo was a real nice surprise and brought the sandwich to life. Oatmeal could've been a little more sweet for me but I think it'll suit most people just fine. Value - Being a Chinese place, it's almost a given that you get good bang for buck. [Worth it?] I would say so. I wouldn't say we frequent this place but we do swing by once every little while and so far I haven't had a bad experience. The food is fine and the cost is reasonable and it's big enough that there's rarely a wait. read more

I don't really have high expectation for Hong Kong Style Cafe as I just want something fast, affordable and a menu with varieties. Kitchen M is definitely a good addition to the neighbourhood. I was a little overwhelmed by the menu and all the all day set options. What to eat? What should I order? What is good? The food here is not amazing but will do the job if you are in the area. Service is fast and friendly. 陳皮鴨腿湯麵+油菜 ($9.95) Duck Leg Noodle with Side Veggie comes with a choice of drink was quite decent. The duck was tender and soft. Their milk tea was also quite good. I will be back to try out other items. read more

This is your typical fast food HK style cafe. Lots of seating space. Free wifi. Relatively big parking lot. I'd say it's a very "average" restaurant with a reasonably priced menu and average portion sizes. The service was also average, but I wouldn't expect more for a HK style cafe. I'd recommend the BBQ duck; it tastes great and didn't have too much fat on it. Their milk tea is very smooth and delicious. I would go back just for the milk tea. Each table is entitled to a free newspaper of either Singtao or Ming pao (if available). Overall, I don't think there is anything special about this place but if you're looking for a quick brunch spot, this could be it. read more

Sister company of Ming Kei in Scarborough. Same chef. I think it's pretty decent and maybe better than Phoenix. Kept most of the design from previous Japanese restaurant. Clean, good service, good price, good portions. I got the soft she'll crab fried rice ($12.95) and I thought they would give me tiny pieces of soft shell crab and have to dig for them but there were actually many pieces ans big too. Overall I give this place a good thumbs up. Dine in guests also get free Chinese news paper (either Ming Pao or Sing Tao), that's a dollar savings on its own!! They have specials for everything, and dim sum too. But during hi-tea hours (around 3:15pm) it'll be the busiest so be ready to wait a while. read more

This is my second favorite HK style cafe for breakfast/lunch/dinner other then New city. This place is pretty consistent and their milk tea is on point. That's what makes or breaks a HK style cafe. If their milk tea sucks, then I won't be coming back. But I give this place a thumbs up for their milk tea. Nice and strong. Couple be a little bit hotter though. Their afternoon tea menu has gotten better. I remember when they first opened it was a bit lacking and the choices weren't as great. I noticed they improved it... I'm willing to try more. Overall, opens early and closes late for snacks. Great job!!! I will be a regular here. read more

Good service, a lot of different variety of food selections to choose from. All the dishes I tried were delicious.

Looking for absolutely ANY particular Chinese dish? You'll find it here.. although fair warning, this place is a nightmare for indecisive people like myself. As I found myself flipping through the 10+ jam-packed pages of different menus, I felt overwhelmed with all the choices I had and it made it so much harder for me to order. Once you make it past the ordering stage though, everything else that follows is pretty standard. Food quality, service, speed, pricing - it's what you would expect from a HK-style cafe. Nothing special but definitely do-able. Its location is pretty convenient as it's right across from Markville Mall and for the few times I've been here, parking wasn't a problem. read more
