Silver Star Kitchen (鴻記腸粉)

I passed by it two weeks ago and because the dine-in seats were full, I bought a takeaway. Two claypot rice and one pork belly rice roll. As a result, the mushroom and chicken rice was not fragrant and tasteless, the Four Treasures Cured Rice Rice was not worthy of its name, and the cured duck was missing and had no flavor at all. There is no burnt rice in the claypot rice, and the rice soup is as light as water. In fact, the rice is steamed and the claypot rice is sold at the same price. Pork intestine rice rolls and pig intestines are not fresh enough.Never again. Waste of money. No money and no food.

Not opening and not answering the phone on Monday. I went there on Monday around 12pm. The door sign showed Open, but nobody was inside. I called but nobody answered the phone. If it is not opening, at least the door sign should show Closed, instead of Open. Do not waste time and gas!

This is a takeout only store. Their specialty is rice rolls, congee and claypot rice. Wait time for claypot rice is 25 min, so call ahead is always a good idea.

The taro paste crispy duck is not fragrant, crispy and tasteless. There is only a layer of taro paste wrapped in frozen old duck. It is extremely not recommended. If you do it well, it is very acceptable for 30 dollars and a half. The key is that there are so many tutorials online. It’s like this ghost... I tied Q, it’s really tasteless and it’s weird. Don’t buy it, other claypot rice is not bad, after all, the price is not expensive.../In short, I came here for the taro duck. How much I look forward to the taste, how disappointed now?

Hidden gem, they sell HK style traditional food here, there are many items that you can't find anywhere else. Very good food here but very small dine in area so you kinda have to do take out

Cantonese breakfast take out with generous portions of congee and rice noodle rolls. Lots of combination with their clay pot rice dishes. They also serve some Taishan hot soup noodles. I didn't taste much MSG in their congee or rice noodle rolls.They only had large tables. Wished there was a bigger sit-down dining area so that patrons can enjoy their freshly made to order food.This place serves private Cantonese food catering for dinner service.

Parking: Limited parking spots in front of the store.

We ordered 紅米蝦腸粉for take away. It was very bitter, so weird…. We tried to call back to ask if it’s normal but there was no one answer. The bitter after taste was getting stronger now. I even felt my throat itching now. Hope it’s not food poisoning. Anyone has similar experience? I keep on searching on web why 腸粉（rice roll) is bitter I am lying down on the sofa, sweating, after taking 2 pieces of it. Hope I don’t need to go to hospital….

[visited 2023 April] Privately catered dine-in dinner. Call ahead to reserve. Great for group of 9-12. I appreciate dishes that are not often found at other Chinese restaurants that require more work and effort to make. Excellent low-key and humble location.

Food and service were great. Clay pot rice is buy 2 get 1 free. Congee is also excellent.The only drawback is that this is not meant to be a dine-in place. They do have 2 or 3 really large tables in the dining room, however, everything will come in a take out container. Only a lady was doing both cashier and server jobs, but she was great with us.There are also frozen dishes you can buy and reheat at home.

Parking: Parking right at the restaurant is very few, but just park at the next plaza and walk through the lawn, it's much easier.

I love this place. I love the people. I love the food. I love the quality service. Despite the plethora of options in the Markham Scarborough area, we always love coming here to eat.

Bought a breakfast combo (shredded pork and gold preserved egg congee + shrimp rice noodle roll) and a pork bone congee. All are delicious. Decent portion and reasonably priced.
