Count on Mom's for affordable Chinese food. Mom's Pan-Fried Bun in Newmarket offers great value, and is often packed during mealtime with families. This is one of 7 locations now across the GTA. While pan-fried buns & soup dumplings are on the menu, noodles are our go-to here. Their menu also features burgers, fried chicken wings and apps such as scallion pancakes and desserts including pumpkin pie with red bean filling. The soy milk is light and refreshing. The tomato-based noodle soup is rich and slightly tangy. We like that it's always served piping hot and comes with a crispy pork cutlet. The cutlet does soften quick while soaking up the soup. You can also pick between their braised beef noodle soup or their house beef noodle soup with tripe, beef rolls & a smaller pork cutlet for $10.99. It's light but you can jazz it up with their aromatic hot sauce that isn't very spicy. Hand-pulled noodles are thick & bouncy while the bowl portions are a fair size. Their burgers are surprisingly tasty with Asian seasoned beef patty, onion crisp and a slab of processed cheese. The restaurant interior is brightly lit with many promo signages and fits a decent number of tables to accommodate close to 40 guests. Just like their busy downtown location, you can see the action in the back kitchen where the noodles and buns are being steamed and fried. This place accepts credit card and there is no cash discount. Service is quick and friendly for casual dining, promptly serving and clearing your dishes. Skip it or hit it? It's a good meal spot to hit up if you're looking for affordable noodles & bites. read more

This restaurant used to be decent when they first opened. But now it's gone downhill. The food is not freshly prepared. And the taste is terrible now. First thing that was bad was the pan fried mom. That is their signature. Literally they microwaved the bun a d dumped a bunch of oil and lightly fried it. We can tell cause we heard the microwave and also it took 2 minutes to make. A proper pan fried bun takes time and you can see the char marks all over the buns. Also there was no soup in it. Which is what makes it good. The next thing the beef pie. Also microwaved it wasn't crunchy the beef filling had ton of oil and gave me indigestion Lastly the wings. Literally the worst breading I've had. Since they expanded. And all this place has no quality control which is probably why it's half empty these days. Do not come to this location it is awful read more

Rice noodle soup with beef slices and pickled mustard was pretty good: pretty spicy, with a sour note. I think it was the same as spicy sour soup noodles. Honey black pepper wings were pretty good: crispy, fresh & juicy. The sauce was sparse & not evenly applied, though. Honey cheese wings were pretty good. The taste was less cloying than Korean cheese powder. There seemed to be no honey though. Scallion pancake was pretty good: slightly dry but flavourful. Fresh pork pan fried buns were good: fluffy yet crispy. Mom's beef burger was not big. The patty was a bit dry. The bun was tasty & fluffy. The honey mustard was pretty nice & there were crispy strips. It was decent & cheap. Tomato noodle with pork chop was decent. The other dishes are better. Red bean pumpkin pie was decent: quite crispy. Rice cake with brown sugar was decent. Sweet soy milk was pretty good but quite sweet. read more

Tip: This eatery is on Fantuan. A couple of Saturdays ago, I was in Aurora having a late lunch. I was thinking about where to get takeout for dinner. I whipped out my Fantuan app on my phone and this Mom's Pan Fried Bun caught my attention. I have been meaning to give this eatery a try. There are a couple of locations fairly close to where I live. I haven't been to either yet. Why not do a quick jaunt up to Newmarket to see what the hype is all about? I ordered these items: - Scallion pancakes - Pan-fried pork dumplings (8) - Chive pork dumplings (8) - Mom's special steamed pork soup dumplings (6) I paid through the app and got an estimated pickup time. I took my time driving over to this eatery. When I got to this plaza, I realized that I was here several years ago. The Tim Hortons still anchors it. I don't recall any of the other businesses. I parked fairly close to the restaurant. I then walked into the eatery. I saw a few customers enjoying their food. I'd like to return and sit down for a meal. It looked comfortable. A nice man at the counter said hi to me in Mandarin. I don't speak it, so I ended up letting him know what my Fantuan order was. He nodded and handed over my bag containing my food. He hoped that I'd enjoy my food. I thanked him and headed to my car. I put my food in an insulated bag and drove home. My food was still hot when I got home. I went to town eating dinner. The scallion pancakes were crispy and yummy. They were different from the chewy version that you'd expect. I loved them. The pan-fried pork dumplings were excellent. The filling was tasty. The pan-fried sear at the bottom of each dumpling was perfect and added more flavour. Delicious! I loved the chive dumplings. Chives are so good with pork filling. These dumplings were comforting and yummy. The soup dumplings were also amazing. Each one had the perfect amount of soup. The soup had the right amount of salt. The filling was juicy. The wrapper had the perfect thickness. I loved everything that I ate from Mom's Pan Fried Bun. I'd return to order more good eats from this eatery when I'm in the area again. (151) read more

Food is always on point. My boyfriend and I will sometimes crave the braised beef noddles. It's so comforting and feels like home. The chicken wings are also another standout menu item. Service is always quick, and there is a good amount of seats inside. Also, can't beat the pricing! read more

It's the kind of spot where you feel like you're getting great value without sacrificing quality. Overall, a solid place for casual, delicious eats. Definitely worth coming back to. read more

Mom's Pan Fried Buns is a great spot that offers more than just its signature buns, and the soup dumplings and braised beef noodle soup really stand out. The soup dumplings were delicate with a thin, silky wrapper that held a rich, savoury broth inside--each bite had that satisfying burst of flavour that makes xiao long bao so comforting for an amazing price. The braised beef noodle soup was equally impressive, with tender, slow-braised beef that practically melted apart and a deeply flavourful broth that felt hearty without being overly heavy. The hand pulled noodles were cooked just right, holding their texture well while soaking up the soup. read more

Went to go tribe this location as it is relatively new for the area. And when we went in, it was filled with students and very loud that is to be expected as it was lunchtime, and there are schools nearby. Service is decent. It is a little hard to service and their attention, but definitely doable. Food -pan fried buns 4/5 For the buns, I asked for it to be extra crispy and the bottom was a very crispy, which was very nice What let me down for the buns was that the filling is very inconsistent. One of the buns had very little meat, and one of the other buns was filled to the brim with meat. The dough was fully cooked and had a pretty good texture. Would recommend trying these. -pan fried dumplings 3/5 the dumplings unfortunately let us down while the outside looks very good. I don't think they were cooked all the way as our shell of the dumpling was very doughy. The filling of the dumpling was not the greatest lack some flavor. On the side, they have two sauces available a black vinegar and a chili oil. The chili oil maybe I was unlucky, but I had a very big knob of ginger and the peppercorns which are numbing on the tongue. If you're looking for a cheap place to eat and try some new food, definitely can recommend this to give it a go read more

Arrived around 3pm on a Sunday and it was half full! The restaurant was super clean and bright. It wasn't too loud and we just ordered via QR code. Food came really quick and I think my favourite was the pan fried pork buns and steamed dumplings. The tofu pudding was quite good and super generous portion for $2.99! The pan fried beef pancakes tasted really oily and the beef noodles didn't really hit the mark. though. read more

Amazing time at mom's pan fried bun. Hands down my favourite items on the menu were the soup dumplings and the braised pan fried pork buns. I LOVE pan fried pork buns so when I found out they opened one near my home town I had to check it out. The pan fried pork buns were super crispy on the bottom and soft and chewy inside. We also the scallion pancakes, chive dumplings and beef pie. They have online ordering to the table with a QR code and physical menus. The service was very quick and servers were proactive with filling up my water and tea. Price points for the entire menu is super affordable and would definitely recommend this place! read more

I think the Newmarket/Aurora area is long awaiting this type of food. Very tasty and good without needing to go south to Markham! The chicken wings is also surprisingly very good! The only issue is that it's small so you may need to wait outside for a table. read more

I believe this is Mom's pan fried bun third location. I have never tried the other locations before so happy they open a new location in Newmarket. We went there on a long weekend Sunday I think they just opened a few days ago (Aug 1, 2024). We went on a Sunday 730p and still quite many people waiting. You have to scan the QR code on the wall when you enter and get in line; they will text you once table is ready. The staff are quite nice and one even came out with a menu and let you look at the options first. Once seated we have to scan the QR code on the table to order. Of course we have to order the pan fried buns. We got the 4 pcs fresh pork pan fried buns $7.99, the mom's special steamed pork soup dumplings (6 pcs) $5.99, the classic beef noodle soup $9.99 (we wanted the braised beef noodle soup but it wasn't available), and the steamed chicken in chili sauce $7.99. The classic beef noodle soup was quite nice, soup was flavorful, noodles was smooth and chewy, the beef slices were a tad bit tough, the fried pork chop is also marinated but I don't usually like deep fried stuff soaked in soup. I really wanted to try the beef pickled mustard rice noodle soup but heard it's quite spicy, maybe next time. There are also a few rice options. All are below $10 a bowl and of decent size. Onto the steamed chicken with chili sauce. It's a cold dish appetizer and the taste is as expected, not too spicy, tad bit numbing, not too too much tiny bones, overall a fair dish. Just a bit salty to my liking. Finally onto the two signature dish. First the soup dumpling. We really like to enjoy soup dumpling in one piece with the soup exploding in mouth and this soup dumpling definitely provides this effect. However the wrapper could be a bit thinner and the meat filling inside for some reason feels very soft. I'd want a bit more meaty texture. Then the fresh pork pan fried buns. I think this is one of my favorites and I mean that's literally the store name! The buns came out hot, with crispy bottom, the bun is so pillowy soft, and there's juice inside! Very well executed. Of course you can't let the bun sit for too long or it may make the bun soggy, leaving no meat juice. But we think the bun could be more perfect if they can maybe add some veggies. Overall, it's pretty good considering they just opened. The staff super attentive, very friendly, answering questions, attending to my needs, take away the finished dishes for us etc and even gave us a cute magnet! Definitely gave the Mom caring vibe. Btw they also have some staff wrapping dumplings and buns in the kitchen with glass window. Hope they can keep up the good work. P.s. no opening discount/promo. Same price cash/credit. read more

I love this place ever since it opened 5 minutes away from my house. It is quite busy but oh it is so worth it. My favourite items to order is their braised pork pan-fried buns - always piping hot, crispy on the bottom and so soft and savory. The leftovers are even better the next day too, just pop them in the air fryer and voila! My favourite thing on their menu is their shan xi cold noodles. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this dish. The noodles are bouncy and fresh, their sesame sauce is addicting not too sour from the black vinegar but just right. Their portions are amazing too. I can't get enough of this dish and I was so happy that I don't have to drive far for it. Used to always get it at the night festivals now it is literally down the street from me! Their pricings are fair and super worth it. I haven't been inside yet, been told that the wait is long and it is always busy but just order a head of time and you can easily pick it up! I would definitely recommend this place. So tasty, always fresh and their shan xi noodles are now one of my top favourite noodles! Happy eating fellow yelpers! read more
