    Their food comes out so fast. It's a really great HK cafe style experience. Their food is pretty standard fair but it's solid for the fast food quality. Price is pretty reasonable too, especially if you get breakfast or a set.

    Love this breakfast all the time!! Chicken udon Chicken thigh, fried egg toast They have discount at the moment for the 2nd order/ dish.

    A HK cafe that has been a staple restaurant in this area for a while now. Was suggested to come here from my family so decided to pay them a visit again. Even during a snow storm, there was a line and wait to get a table during peak lunch hours on a weekend - a good sign! Service is quick and food comes out fast. Some hit or miss dishes though: Club sandwich 3/5 - Usually love club sandwiches but was thrown off with this one since it came with beef instead. Bread was nice and buttered, and the egg was fluffy. Would be better if this was made with another protein instead. Bittermelon spareribs rice 3.5/5 - A pretty standard dish that isn't too bad here. Lemon tea 4/5 - A HK cafe staple. They do it pretty okay here so no complaints. Haianese chicken rice 4/5 - What this restaurant is best known for. The chicken was silky and soft. Rice was seasoned and delicious. Would get this again! Fried octopus 4/5 - A great dish to share with the table. Nicely battered and crispy with a slight chew to the octapus. Overall, a good dining experience but I'm not dying to come back asap.

    Pad thai

    Located just by Woodbine and Steeles. This place is smaller than the other location but lots of seats. They were pretty full without a line up and my friend and I were able to get a seat right away. They have a promotion everyday buy two 30% off for lunch and dinner had a promotion too but I forgot to check it out. It comes with a drink as well. I got hot HK style milk tea and my friend got the cold milk tea. The pad thai is definitely very good and one of the best ones I've tasted. There is a mild spice and very tolerable for me as someone who can't handle spicy chips. The chicken rice dish was really good too, the honey garlic was very light in my opinion. The flavour wasn't overpowering. Rice was a lot less but came with a lot of chicken. I want to come here again for sure!

    Satay breakfast set (also comes with drink)
    Alex C.

    It's decent Hong Kong style food. The price is good and the portions are fairly generous. I tried the satay vermicelli beef noodles which also comes with a drink and a piece of bread for about $11. Do note that the noodles are a bit spicy. This place does get quite busy and service can be below average.

    My first time to this restaurant (chain?). A no frills dining experience but looks quite clean. I ordered take away Hainanese Chicken/Rice and cold HK style milk coffee. The chicken was not great, it was not velvety smooth as it should be - there was a little too much 'chew', like a frozen chicken that's been over cooked or simply an older hen(?), but the rice was flavourful. The side sauces were nothing to write home about, but good enough for a no nonsense two star rating.

    Singapore fried vermicelli
    Philip L.

    Awesome Meal-for-2 Deal. Check this out! Any two items under the special limited-time menu for $25.88 (+ tax & tips). Pick TWO drinks from red bean ice, grass jelly ice drink, coffee, or tea. Any day after 4 PM. Cash only. The red bean ice drink was a little bland. Not sweet enough with not much vanilla or milk flavor. Not much taste with the red bean too. Good freshness with some chewy texture though. Some other drinks might taste better. On the other hand, the food was good and we ordered 2x 2-deals. Among the four items we ordered, the Singapore Fried Vermicelli stood out pretty clearly. The curry spiciness was there yet not overpowering the rest of the dish. Nice veggies and shrimp. I like the vermicelli texture. Not oily at all. Try it out if you visit there. It doesn't say the deal till what date. Limited time offer. Visit there while it lasts. Woodbine location only at this point. McCowan is still under renovation. People said it would probably reopen in a week. Reasonably tasty, inexpensive, and recommended!

    Menu

    Decided to be a little adventurous, chain type restaurants tend to be a hit or a miss. Nicely decorated casual modern cha chaan teng place. Normal cha chang teng menu but they also had a special 2 for dinner menu at a great inflation busting price with plenty of dish choices to pick from and a free drink is included Went with the Fish fillet with pickled mustard cabbage in fish broth & yunan vermicelli. Yeah, the dish name is long but it exactly described the dish. Surprisely the fish chunks were very large and paired well with the crunchy preserved vegs/broth. Soup had a slight mild mala spice flavor causing a slight tingly numbness in my mouth full of soup noodles.. 2nd dish was the Steak with onion paste in rice bowl, steak was braised and tender with a mild onion flavor on a bed of white rice in a bowl. Staff very friendly and efficient. Very happy with their 2 for dinner special, good value for your money, however, I noticed many diners ordering the regular entrees which looks large and delicious. This restaurant is a good representation and carries on the reputation of Chinese restaurants, their prices are reasonable, large food portions leads to getting a doggie bag so leftovers can be stretched to another meal, don't expect large tips and staff are friendly. Although majority of staff and customers speak Chinese, don't let that intimidate you, menus most of the time are in English with photos and there's usual a few staff that can speak broken English.

    Steak with onion sauce rice
    Tung Y.

    This location has always been one of my least favorite locations but with the bayview one closed down and more recently the yonge one also closed down, this woodbine location is the next one close by. They recently offered the two can dine set for $25.88 cash only. There's a list of things to pick from and also include a red bean icecream drink or other drinks of the same price. We opted for a steak with onion sauce rice and a Japanese style pork cutlet rice. I forgot to take a picture of the menu but the food came out to be a bit different from the picture. The steak with onion sauce rice tasted a bit too sweet to me. It's kinda like teriyaki sauce. However the steak (slices on pictures but cubed in reality) was tender. As for the pork cutlet rice, the rice to pork chop ratio wasn't ideal, too much rice, too little sauce, also on the sweeter side but the pork chop is juicy and tender. And there seem to be two sunny side up eggs on the picture but it's not in reality. We ordered cold milk tea as our drinks and it tasted more milky than we remembered. Overall decent deal. Food could be better. Service was fair. Chairs could be cleaner.

    Baked pork chop on rice (Japanese style)

    If you're looking for Hong Kong style comfort food, this is the place. We went on a weekend and waited about 20 minutes for a table. Because it was so busy, the staff looked very rushed and a bit flustered. I know service is usually very quick but that day we went, we noticed everyone getting their food before us. We had to ask our server a few times to check on our order. It was quite loud and crowded, but that's typical HK cafe. I ordered combo set Y10 baked pork chop on rice (Japanese style) with hot milk tea and it tasted great and the milk tea was nice and strong!

    Cold Lemon Honey Water ($5.90): pricey but good!

    === 1. VERDICT/VALUE It's a Hong Kong style cafe-type of restaurant that doesn't have the lowest prices in town, but it's fast yet good food in a sit-down environment. Good choice if you work or hotel nearby! === 2. FOOD Satay Beef Noodle Soup ($9.50) One of their more popular dishes, it's good: for the amount of beef with medium-sized rice noodles topped with some frozen vegetables in war, broth. Cold Lemon Honey Water ($5.90) Not much to write home about other than the price is a little steep for what is a good flavourful drink! === 3. SERVICE Fast and efficient - the wait staff order on mobile devices and food comes and you go fairly quickly. It's good for what it is, and while it worked for me in English, it appeared to work well in Cantonese and Mandarin also. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's in the street-facing end of a light industrial / commercial strip mall. Once you get in the front door, folks with baby strollers and wheelchairs could fit well - be it in a small or large group. Parking is plentiful in the strip mall's lot.

    Okay, this might be my new go-to! Since my place at 407/Bayview closed, I've been lost. Where to eat HK style breakfast? Luckily, there is another Phoenix location close by. And it's pretty similar to my usual haunt! I hope they don't modernize and change their menu!

    Unlike my experience with the Pheonix Restaurant downtown Toronto a few years ago, this branch in Markham was a let down. Service was fast, but there was a language barrier. The server thought I was ordering double of everything, but I had to explain to her.... no!! As for the food... the iced lemon tea was good, and the veggie dish was good too. But the hainanese chicken rice dish was not. The broth was crazy peppery. I love pepper, but even that was too much in the broth. The chicken itself was good, but the rice was not. If you see in the pic, the outer part was yellow, but the middle part was white. Clearly they used white (albeit stale) rice and then drenched the chicken oil on top. Hainanese chicken rice should be fragrant, but this was not. The search for a decent hainanese chicken rice continues.....

The use of traditional elements, paper-cut window designs, red Spring Festival couplets, old-style newspaper wall coverings, and exposed brick adds a strong sense of nostalgia. It feels immersive and intentional, almost like stepping into a countryside home in Dongbei rather than a typical restaurant. The décor isn't fancy, but it's rich in cultural detail and warmth, perfectly matching the hearty, comforting style of Northeast Chinese cuisine. The space is unique and perfect for taking photos. The food here is very generous. We ordered the 4-person set with two side pots. Tomato Braised Beef Brisket and Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms and the portions were huge. Both pots arrived steaming hot and filled to the brim, clearly meant for sharing. The braised beef was rich and hearty, while the chicken pot was comforting and full of flavor, making it perfect for group dining or cold weather meals. Combined with the rustic, traditional décor, it really feels like authentic Northeast Chinese comfort food. The food and atmosphere were excellent, though the service was a bit lacking. Prices are reasonable for the generous portion sizes and the unique restaurant décor.

I was hoping to find something special on the menu. The Peking duck caught my eye at around $70, but then I discovered that almost everything else was extra--lettuce wraps, stir-fried duck meat, fried rice, and soup. By the time you add the extras, the bill is easily another $50 or more, bringing the total to well over $120. We decided to pass, and judging from the dishes we did order, that was probably the right decision. The hot and sour soup had plenty of heat and tang but lacked depth of flavor and was under-seasoned for my taste. Fortunately, we only ordered a small bowl. The deep-fried tofu was bland and forgettable. The stir-fried shrimp was acceptable but nothing special. The biggest disappointment was the sweet and sour pork. I specifically asked the server to make sure the pork was crispy, but it arrived soft and lumpy rather than light and crunchy. Even the complimentary red bean dessert soup was watery and lacked flavor. Our bill came to about $104 for two people. For the quality of the food, I didn't feel it offered good value. Sadly, after several disappointing visits, I don't think we'll be returning.

The lid on my shredded potato salad wasn't on properly and the sauce leaked through my Fantuan bag. The food gets five stars. Sadly, the lid on my potato salad wasn't securely on the container. I had my food in my insulated bag, so the sauce leaked into the Fantuan bag and my insulated bag. Luckily, my car was fine. As a result, my rating is four stars. I wanted to try a new eatery. I looked at my Fantuan app and noticed He Bei Chinese Cuisine. It had dumplings and snacks that I enjoy, so I said yes to placing a dinner order from this eatery. I ordered these items: - Pork and chive steamed dumplings (large has 14 dumplings) - Tea eggs - Shredded potato salad On Fantuan, when you purchase $15 worth of food, you get the shredded potato salad for a cent. Deal! After placing my order near my home, I drove over to this eatery. The drive was ten minutes. I was given an estimated time of fifteen minutes. It was ready in ten minutes. I had no problem finding this eatery. There was plenty of parking. I pulled into a spot and walked in. I saw the Yubu sign. My heart sank, as I loved the Korean tofu pockets from this joint. I liked seeing places to sit down and eat at He Bei. Nice! A woman behind the counter came over. I said that I had a Fantuan order. She talked to me in Mandarin. I don't understand it, but we were fine communicating with each other in our languages. She pointed out the blue Fantuan bag on the table behind me. I thanked her and wished her a nice day. She said thanks right back. I put my food in my insulated bag. With the leak, I managed to launder the Fantuan bag and clean my insulated bag. After I cleaned up, I had dinner at home. The food was amazing and filling! I loved the shredded potato salad. Sure, a lot of the sesame-soy sauce was gone. However, it tasted yummy. It was worth the cent! The steamed pork and chive dumplings were so good. I didn't dunk them in soy sauce. The filling had so much moisture that I felt like I was eating soup dumplings. The filling had yummy flavour and the dumplings were steamed to perfection. Excellent! You can buy frozen dumplings from this place. I'll need to do it. The tea eggs were the perfect snack while streaming hockey games. I peeled the shells off both of them. The eggs were cracked to allow the amazing soy-based sauce to marinate and get into the eggs. Delicious! I'm a fan. I'll take a closer look at the lids on my food next time. I'm glad that I put food in my insulated bag. It saved cleaning my car's upholstery! (59)

So we ordered Maggi Lobster (~3lbs) for $34/lb, and stir fried beef with Chinese broccoli (gai lan). The lobster was cooked perfectly, with the Maggi sauce not being too salty. They definitely gave us all the pieces of the 3lbs lobster. The gai lan had a bitter aftertaste, which is common for this vegetable. I wished they had a way to get rid of that. They were generous with the amount of beef and was well marinated. The cut wasn't that great, but that is to be expected. I don't think they added much MSG or at least used good quality ones, as we did not feel overly thirsty later in the evening. They give free daily soup and dessert. What we were most impressive was with the service. The waiters were very attentive, changing our plates twice during our 1ish hour meal.

The individual New Century slow boiled soup is hardest to share but secure some empty bowls and you can divide the hefty portion. In the winter, there's a silkiness to the piping hot consommé that sooths a dry throat and has an umami essence infused with abalone, ginseng, and pork. There's plenty to choose from in the house signature combo platter including roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork, pork slices, and seaweed salad. Saving my stomach for the later dishes, I had a taste of the duck (a good start with crispy skin) and BBQ pork (satisfactory and well flavoured). With the generous portion of chicken in the combo platter, the slow cooked chicken with abalone broth seemed like overkill. I've never been a huge fan of this dish that's served cold since I prefer chicken hot. Still, I understand it's the jelly layer between the skin and meat that people enjoy. And to be fair, the chicken was tender, and New Century certainly didn't skimp on the ginger and scallion oil. For those who tend to fill-up before the "main dishes", the stars of the combo arrive mid-meal. The stir-fried Vancouver crabs with silver fish in HK style spicy sauce needs to be eaten at arrival as the crunchy coating is best straight from the fryer. And despite not looking spicy, the dish has a light heat that permeates in the background. Additionally, the crab was fresh and meaty, cooked well so it remained delicately flakey. The amount of sweet and sticky sauce used in the stir-fried lobsters with scallion in Maggie sauce was well balanced, lightly covering the crustaceans. Both lobsters were substantial; even after eating many pieces, we still had plenty of leftovers. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.

    Very good dim sum! Super large restaurant with huge screen TVs. Great friendly service. Definitely…read morewill come back!

    We first noticed this restaurant because the name in Chinese is "like to be with you". It's Friday…read morethat after my appointment around the area. They have different special offers each day from Monday to Friday. We ordered the special Linyi Style Stir Fried Chicken on Friday. And we also ordered Boiled Basa Fish with pickled Cabbage & Green Pepper. They were pretty traditional Chinese styles. The white rice or brown rice both can have as much as we could. That's good for men. We both like here, but they don't offer specials during the weekends. But they do have other special packages, just a bit different. And they also have the membership that we could collect points and then we could use the points to get drinks or different snacks or dishes.

    New sauerkraut fish soup spot in Markham…read more A chain from asia that has finally made it's way to Markham. They are known for their sauerkraut fish soup that comes with unlimited self serve rice on the side. Servers were attentive, spacing of the seating and tables were tight. Often times people kept brushing up against my chair while getting up to go get their rounds of rice. Although not a deal breaker, was annoying while trying to enjoy your food. The portions are big enough for 2 if you get a large, but since it was our first time we wanted to try 2 different soups. Here's what we got: Chicken wings 4/5 - Came out raw the first time after we bit into it. But quickly flagged a server to let them know how this issue. They brought us a new one shortly after that was perfectly cooked, juicy and crispy on the outside. Laotan boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili 4/5 - Their number one classic so we had to try. It's sour and spicy with the right amount of kick to it. Basa fish filets were also tasty. Came out luke warm. Princess's tomato fish 4/5 - Packed with tomato flavour. Savoury and paired well with the basa fish filet. Came with bean curd noodles as well. Came out luke warm. Easily would be a five star review if both soups that we got came out piping hot rather than lukewarm. Regardless, a great spot for a quick in and out meal.

    Great food, friendly service. What more could you ask for…read more The decor is amazing, really feels special compared to the boring decor of other Chinese restaurants. The portions are large and great for sharing. If you can handle spicy, grab a friend that can also handle it and you're in for a good time here. Note that this place only accepts cash and debit.

    If you like spice this is the place for you. Located at the commerce gate complex there is…read moretypically a wait to get a table here. Wait list is old school...someone writes your name and number in a notebook and you are called when your table is ready. The interior is reminiscent of the old school taverns you see in those old Chinese movies where the traveller has spent days walking or on a horse and comes upon a tavern where the interior is all wooden tables and benches. Dining style and dishes are all family style. You order a couple of dishes and then add rice. Spice level can be adjusted and even at 'less' the heat level was high. Definitely generous use of Szechwan peppercorns! Food is very flavourful and depending on preference some might find the oil level high. The clientele is mainly Mandarin speaking and if you are Asian they will immediately communicate in Mandarin with you but I did see the staff switch to English where needed. Service was patient and attentive.
