Very small dining room and far from downtown, but worth the trip. Cheap and cheerful is the best way to describe it. Food is very good for the price, and you'll leave feeling full, but not stuffed. NOT a place to linger and chat. Eat and move on. read more

Was really looking forward to taiwanese food and recreating the night market experience from taiwan. This place was decent but nothing special. The popcorn chicken was nice, tasted similar to chicken karaage. The soup noodles was underwhelming. Roast pork belly was good. The dried pork meat pancake could be toastier. The oyster pancake was not available when we went. Line ups start around 6pm and the place is pretty small. read more

Popcorn chicken was delicious! Good pieces of chicken too - not those fatty gross parts. Will definitely eat here again!

Came here for takeout. It's cheap, fast and filling. I got the minced pork rice and the popcorn chicken bento. Total came out to be about $12. Really good bang for your buck since you get a pretty decent amount of food. Considering that I got takeout, the popcorn chicken was still fairly crispy when I got home 10 minutes later, so I imagine it would have been even better if I ate there. The bento came with sides: Tofu, green beans and fish cake. It's pretty oily food, but that's kind of expected. The minced pork rice was flavourful, filling and bigger than I expected, considering it cost about $4. Only down side is, if you want an egg with it, that has to be ordered separately as an add-on. I didn't realize that until after I left. All this food lasted me 2 meals. Overall, not bad for 12 bucks total. read more

Probably one of the best Taiwanese restaurants around markham (and this is coming from a Taiwanese person)! The place is very small, so it's harder to get seating on weekends. Their food is great, and inexpensive for the portions that you get. They make great pork chop! I also really like their fish cake (tian bu la). read more

The server was helpful and the food came quickly. I had the spicy beef noodle soup and was a bit disappointed. The broth didn't have much depth of flavour, kind of tasted like beef broth and hoisin. My mom had the popcorn chicken bento box and she thought it was ok, but neither of us were blown away. We would both try something different if there is a next time. read more

Probably one of the most interesting spot for Taiwanese food in GTA! Food is traditional Taiwanese street food style, the salty fried chicken aka popcorn chicken I called it-is a must try! Juicy and tender inside while the outside is crispy. Marinated pork rice, sticky rice etc-all tasty and authentic. The omelette was slightly disappointing. On the down side, the place is small-makes it unique as well, and they serve with plastic utensils(spoon and fork) that I didn't like. If you're craving for Taiwanese food, this is the place to go! Take out would be an excellent option! read more

BEEF NOODLE SOUP the best in Town and Highly recommended, I am sure you will return. 5 stars for foods!!

WOW for the value, minced pork with preserved egg rice combo for under $5. Great selection of taiwanese/Japanese style cafe food and snacks. We also ordered the fried bbq pork, tasted amaaazing but portion slightly small. Most items on the menu are relatively inexpensive so go try some items. It's small restaurant so it might be full during lunch times. Overall good food for good price. read more

Came here again and ordered: -Popcorn chicken -chicken skewer -japanese tofu -fish skewer (loved this) -pork chop bento -beef noodle soup -bbq chicken on sesame flat bread -sausage and minced pork on rice (this is okay, probably won't order this again) Overall, I was satisfied with most of the items. However the rice bowl didn't have much meat on it. The majority of the bowl was rice, with a sausage on top, and a bit of minced pork in the centre. I wanted to get the pineapple cakes, however the owner said I must place an order in advance. read more

My third time there, tried the beef noodle and skewered fish. The fish is on the oily side, but its so tender it melts in your mouth. The beef noodle is okay but I like the one in Mei Nung (in first markham place ) better. read more

The food was quick and didn't have to wait long for a table. The server, she was nice and friendly. The food taste alright and the drink taste ok. read more

I ordered a deep fried chicken and bubble tea to take out. I heard that the chicken is always good, but it really wow me is that bubble tea, it tastes so much, so much better than the CoCo Bubble Tea or Chattime! The food is also big size, not even $10 I got a full size lunch and a drink, what else u expect from it! read more

This is our go-to place for amazing Taiwanese food. Albeit far from where we're located, we usually make the drive west just for Pa-pa cheng. Popcorn Chicken is a must if you do visit. My only complaint would be the premises; the dining area is tight with only a few tables. read more

I would give five star to the place .But the place is tiny . Only site around 30 people maximum. The wait time around 10 to 15 min. But the food and service is great . The portion is good size the taste perfect. read more

You cannot be upset by the food or service. It's cheap food homemade style food! I recommend the popcorn Chicken bento and the onion pancake! read more

Love this place!!! Great selection, good prices and yummy food!! I like the popcorn chicken, the sticky rice and their noodles!! Service is also very attentive and quick! Only downside is the small size of the restaurant - it gets very squished and uncomfortable sometimes when the customer next to you is 2 inches away from your table. Otherwise great little place for lunch or dinner - I highly recommend! Must also go early for a spot - gets quite busy!! read more

Update: Lots of their items have wasabi. If you dont enjoy wasabi you can ask them to not add it. read more

See all

I adore this place. It is true authentic Taiwanese food. All of the dishes are consistently delicious. My favorites are the bento meals with chicken or pork teriyaki they use a wasabi mayo drizzle to give a slight kick. The sandwiches are so tasty with sesame bread baked in house and are perfect for lunch. Also try their noodle soups. And of course the popcorn chicken is a must! read more

super affordable meal that will fill you up! the perfect comfort food if you're looking for that pretty authentic flavour! staff are always very helpful & food comes super quick & fresh. one of my go to places for a meal :) read more

Great place if you are looking for authentic home style Taiwanese food! The dishes are set at a very responsible price point. My must eat side dish is the pang pang fish skewers. The signature beef noodles are good as well. Be ready to wait for a table outside or in your car though as there is no room to wait inside the restaurant. read more

Great value! I definitely recommend the highly original Taiwanese meatball (it's a giant mochi-like skin wrapped around mushrooms and ground meat) and fish skewers. Will be back to try more for sure! read more

The food there is amazing, but the service is HORRIBLE. I've been there twice, and I only got yelled at by this fat old asian lady three times. She is so rude to me and my friends, and gives us attitudes. For example, the second time I went it was very crowded so she told us to wait outside. When we saw a group of people leave, my friend went into the store thinking it's our table. But then that rude waitress literally yelled us and said "WHY ARE YOU IN HERE, ITS NOT YOUR TURN YET GO OUTSIDE" and gave us a glare and did the asian sigh LOL. She could have just politely told us it's not our turn yet. SHE HAS PROBLEMS. I probably won't visit this restaurant again unless they fire that lady. Other than her, everybody else is very nice. read more

The food must be good because it's packed at 1:30. Don't bother trying to get a seat during lunch time. Do yourself a favor and call ahead for pickup. We were just turned away because there's no room especially since we brought our baby in a baby stroller(currently waiting in the parking lot looking for somewhere to kill some time while they work on our takeout order) read more

Small cozy little place. Seats are very limited. Their food is quite flavourful. The hype is better than the food. I've experienced it once, and that's enough for me. read more

friendly place legit taiwanese food, and very very well price food comes out very fast its a smaller place 5/5 stars i leave very happy every time read more

Beat Taiwanese food in town. I come here weekly. Popcorn Chicken is a must eat and Bento box is excellent with a low price point. The BEST read more

Didn't let my wife and I with our baby's stroller. I could understand if the place was busy but there were 2 ppl is there. Lol

It's really hard to find an authentic taiwanese place, except when you go to bubble tea places and pay for overly priced food. The taste of the food definitely exceeds the price I pay for. Although the place is small, the restaurant is very clean and the staff are great. I would recommend the oyster pan cake. I don't know any place else that sells this except at night market (which was horrible that I couldn't even put it in my mouth). The oyster pancake here actually had taste in it and wasnt filled with the starch that they make it with. The tako pan cake was also very good in my opinion. It was crispy and the sauce they pour over it was delicious. I would definitely come back here again. There are so many snacks that i still want to try. read more

Papa Chang reminds me of some of the delicious treats you get off a food truck. They serve food in take-out style containers and each bite of anything you order is full of flavour! Its always busy at lunch time as the place only has around 3/4 larger tables and 2/3 smaller tables. It seems like there isn't a washroom, but you have to go through the kitchen to use the washroom. Some of my favourites are: Popcorn chicken Curry pork rice bowl Beef noodles Pork belly Intestines Pork on rice Taiwanese Sausage read more

Papa Chang's is a restaurant that my family regularly goes to. The food is unique to Markham, and the friendly service provided is always appreciated. We enjoy the bento boxes, and signature beef noodle soup among many other items like their popcorn chicken. The only negative, is that the restaurant is very small. I don't feel as if it should attribute to their rating though, because I still enjoy going there so much! On the weekends, there is always a long wait for a table. We often order takeout to void the wait, and still enjoy the food greatly whether eating in or taking out. We recommend Papa Changs to friends and family for a new food experience. They are also very well priced! read more

Great food, OK prices, horrible seating. Many people order take-out instead, and I can see why after visiting the "restaurant". If you decide to dine-in, be ready for some hard selling by the old guy who claims to be an ordinary server there. Still, the food is good. read more

Went there today with one of my friend. Great Place, we ordered popcorn chicken bento box. Loved the popcorn chicken. Price is very decent. Food came pretty quick given that the place is packed read more

Overall delicious and good quality for a local mom and pop restaurant. It's a small joint, so ideal group size is 2~4. It can be delicious but greasy for some. I would come back for Taiwanese food craving. read more

Amazing food, great staff. The place is almost always packed, with good reason. Can't go wrong here.

Many year ago I found Pa Pa Chang. It is so close to my home. I had it soooo often. I knew many staffs there lol and they know me as well. Once I even owed them money bc I forgot to bring cashes for take-out. LOL if there is any VIP card, pls give it to me. read more

Although place is small, food is amazing and price is very low. Very happy.

If you're looking for a quick dinner, this is the place to call. The minced pork rice is so filling and cheap! Also the bubble tea is different they have mini tapioca. read more

Came here on a Sunday at 2:30 in the afternoon and it was packed. The restaurant is small not good for big groups. I decided to get my meal to go. The waitress was very friendly and it only took 10 minutes to get my order. I got the spicy beef bento. It was good, the beef was well seasoned and soft. Lots of people were eating the beef noodle soup something I hope to try next time. read more

This place is comfortable n cozy. The owner is friendly and accommodating. The food is tasty yet healthy. Not salty or greasy. The portions are huge for the price. Cant beat this bargain. Since the price is so low, we found ourselves ordering what seems like everything. We were a party of 9 n our bill was only $87. We walked out stuffed. A real bargain. read more
