Cantonese Restaurants near Unionville, ON

“Went here on a weekday night and there were many tables available.

The claypot rice was good. The rice was delicious and had a nice crispy layer on the bottom. The toppings were ok.

We ordered a few other dishes and I felt that the flavouring was a hit or miss. Like some were over-seasoned and some were under.“

“Having a warm claypot meal on a cold day really hits the spot. In fact i was so hungry and eager that i didnt even take a picture of the original presentation. When taking into account the price and what you get it's a great deal.

As for atmosphere, this is no fancy restaurant. It's one of those hole in the wall types. But you can see it's one where people can comfortably eat without ceremony.“

“A REAL Hakka restaurant! I almost pokai when I found this place thinking that no way this is real.
Yep, it is real and is not the Indian Hakka that we always see!!!!

Stuffed peppers and tofu was really yummy!
Had the lo bak and it was nice.
Salt baked chicken was delicious!

I will come back.“

“Good food. Cozy place. Open early morning. One of the best rice rolls. Their chef recommended dishes are all pretty good.

Milk tea is served with sugar on the side . I can manage my own sugar in take , which i like a lot.“

“It was strange, the dishes I ordered (spaghetti bolognese and iced lemon tea) were really delicious, but my bf got Portuguese chicken and iced ying yuen and he said they both tasted weird/not normal. The Portuguese chicken contained pineapple which was unexpected, and he said the ying yuen just didn't taste that good compared to what he's had before. I agree that there really shouldn't be pineapple in Portuguese chicken, but I can't confirm whether it tasted bad or not; I guess if you love pineapple you might enjoy it. They also give a starter soup, and we were given the corn soup, and that was super yummy. Overall it was an average experience for an HK cafe, and depending on what you get it can be a hit or miss.“

“We stumbled upon their poster while in the area & had to drop by for a quick lunch the next day. They offer morning special combos for only $7.25 but we unfortunately missed the 11:30 AM deal. Nonetheless, we got a fish congee and sang jian bao to share which were both delicious! I think this spot was quite authentic as the congee was well made with generous protein & boneless fish meat. Service was fast and the food came out fairly quickly. This restaurant is shared with big beef bowls which was nice because you could order from both menus. My family will definitely be back for the morning special!“

“Had the roast and BBQ pork. This is to die for. It's busy at lunch time for good reason.. people drive from far away to get here for this.. even the rice has a special taste. And prices.. a double dish cost me 13.. and I can not eat it all.. so many other foods as well chicken duck. You just have to come.. cash only.. but we'll worth the wait.. show up early. 11 am you order and wait.. at 12 you are waiting out the door.. its that good.. it will not disappoint“

“I recently immigrated to Toronto, and I often find myself missing the taste of home. Being able to enjoy authentic Cantonese soups here brings me so much comfort and happiness. Thank you for making such heartfelt, delicious soups, they truly make me feel at home!“

“Very good“

“Buddies and I had dimsum lunch here on a Wednesday.
They had some early bird special before 11am. We arrived around 11:30, it was 70-80% full.
Dimsum was good , we ordered traditional dimsums and a high tea look dimsum combo. Apparently they had dim sum combo promotion (we didn't know until we exit the restaurant and saw the poster).
Service was visibly inadequate. Need to look around to catch one walking by.
I came here for dinner a few times. Again food was alright. They do have large varieties to satisfy your hunger.“

“Coming soon this summer yeahh !!“

“Food wasn’t not bad, very much like home cooking (something your mom cooks for you). Dishes were not too greasy and light in taste. However, the noise level inside was so high that I almost left (if not to meet friends there, I would have left). You could hardly hear yourself, not to mentioned hearing others. Price was on the high side, considered the home style cooking and its ingredients. Don’t try their BBQ pork, but do try their chicken and duck. Their desserts, I would recommend skipping.“

“This place has been one of our regular spots since 2015, and it never disappoints. It’s tucked inside a food court, so the vibe is pretty basic — no fancy seats or decor, just a casual, no-frills setup. But don’t let that put you off — the food here is the real deal.

We usually get the white cut chicken rice or soy sauce chicken rice. Both come in classic takeaway-style boxes and taste just like the dishes you’d find in Guangdong or Hong Kong. The portions are solid — enough to fill you up without breaking the bank. The soup that comes with it is kind of bland, but honestly, it’s not the main event.

The service is fast, even during the lunch rush, and the cashier is always friendly. It can get a bit hectic, but that’s part of the charm. Most of the crowd are middle-aged Chinese locals, which says a lot about how authentic the food is.

All in all, this spot offers great value and consistently tasty food. If you’re into Cantonese flavors and don’t mind a casual setting, this is absolutely worth checking out. We’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“Have been going here since 2017. My kid grew up eating this home meal ?. This place is perfect for young professionals couples who are both busy working and taking care of young kids and don't have much time to cook healthy yet yummy Chinese home cook meals.Did I mention the ? soup? It comes with every meal and not oily at all. Love it!To get their weekly menu, call them directly and ask to be included in their mailing list.“

“Visited this Chinese BBQ stall in the First Markham Place food court and ordered the red sausage and BBQ pork on rice. At $10, including Chinese cabbage and a side of soup, it’s one of the best values you’ll find in the city.

The flavours were great, and the portion size was generous. However, the fattiness of the meat can be inconsistent depending on the time of day — something to be aware of if you have a preference for leaner cuts.

Expect a wait. We went on a weekday evening and waited around 15 minutes. Also note that it’s cash only, so plan accordingly.“

“Over last 5 years or so have been exploring more and more of the east Asian food options in the northeast of the GTA. Added Yummy to the list of must go, economical Cantonese breakfast/lunch spots. Had meant to ages ago but was regular at another restaurant next door. Noticed Yummy was always full; always a good sign. My chinese barber recommended Yummy as one of best places of this type in Eastern GTA. She is not wrong. I had congee with abalone and chicken with dough fritters. So rich and tasty. Their chile oil also excellent. If you are a fan of good Cantonese street food in low key setting, this is worth a try. I know I will be back. Oh yeah, and friendly staff.“

“Food 4/5
Service 4/5
Vibe 3/5 (food court so nothing fancy)

If you want something fast and not needing to wait in like for those Hong Kong Style Cafe in Markham, this is the place!

It is technically open kitchen😂so everything is made fresh upon your eyes.

I love their pan fried vermicilii and hong kong style ice milk tea! (It can get bitter sometimes so ask for more sugar, they are nice)

Overall great pricing, easy and homey! 5/5“

“The food is great but I don't know if it justifies over $20 a bowl of noodles after tax and tips. The lady that works at nights is great but why is she the ONLY server in the entire restaurant? The poor girl was running around the restaurant servicing over 10 tables at the same time and couldn't even catch a breath. She was so polite and so quick though and does a great job every time we go.She's the reason the restaurant is getting a 4 star; I'd give management a 0 for being cheap and not hiring extra help.“

“I ordered the casserole rice with three toppings — BBQ eel, assorted preserved meat and BBQ pork — and it was absolutely delicious. The rice had a lovely smoky crust at the bottom, the toppings were rich and full of flavour, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavours really took me back to Hong Kong, and the soy sauce is what makes it outstanding. Service was friendly and efficient, and the food came out piping hot. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Yummy food and great service“

“Edit Jun 2022This time we ordered via Fantuan (pickup). Same good experience. We especially LOVE the 鹹魚肉餅飯. Look at that big piece of salted fish!! It's rare to see. Other restaurants usually just mixes some minced salted fish in the pork. Unfortunately 腸粉 is way too hard/chewy, especially when it cools down a bit.2021I visited this place for takeout coz my mom had a sudden crave for 油條 and 粽. Price is good, food is tasty, but the wait time is ridiculously long. Almost 30 minutes.“

“When I was working at Guangdong TV station more than 30 years ago, I often went to the nearby "Dake" food stall to eat. Stir-fried beef rice noodles, hand-pulled rice rolls, chicken rice porridge, braised pig intestines, cold melon beef, etc. were all must-haves for us. Called Xiaodian. Unexpectedly, a "Dake" porridge, noodle and porridge shop opened in Toronto many years ago. The store's hand-pulled rice rolls have thin, tender skin, and the porridge is made with authentic ingredients, full of flavor, and is reasonably priced. Worth recommending.“

“Gourmet Kitchen is tucked away in the corner food court at the Silver Star plaza. Got the lo mai fan (Cantonese sticky rice) and it was so flavourful!! Rice was well made and there was a very good variety and portion of toppings. Their service is fast and meals even come with a drink. Remember to bring cash!“

“We love the food, and we also come here for large meals with friends. They're always wonderful.“

“Excellent reasonably-priced fresh seafood 😋“

“Fast legit canto take-out food court restaurant.

I mean the food was good enough and worth more than the price paid.

Great alternative to cooking at home. Or sitting down at restaurant paying a more premium price plus tip.

Price was $26 tax-in, cash for 2 dishes and also a box of rice. I would say, it’s enough 2 ppl, plus also pack a lunch for next day.
Pretty legit deal!

Definitely will return when I don’t feel like going to dine-out or cooking. Just grab some take-out on the way home.“

“This review is for Ritzy.
Recently we had a birthday party there.
Food was fine. Tips was a bit higher than some other restaurants, but great service.👍🏽
The servers with good manners. The general manager was professional, reasonable, honest with good manners as well.
Keep up your efforts Ritzy! 👍🏽😊“

“雲吞及水餃都係萬錦，列治文山同行水準之上。招呼在疫情期間也可算是上佳，值得推介!“

“Great price combos good service see pics at my facebook page kingmax vlog“

“Quick lunch with a friend. Ordered some chicken and duck congee ,dough stick and bbq 2 item combo (duck and bbq pork). Also came with some yummy pork soup. Service was friendly and food was delicious and made fast. Place was clean and busy for 1:30pm on a Monday.“

“Very consistent food. You always know you'll get a certain level of quality. The restaurant is more spacious than usual. The sweet and sour pork is always good, as is the crispy skin chicken dish pictured here. I like that they use a candle so that you can keep the tea warmer. Dim sum is pretty good too, though it can get quite busy at peak hours.“

“Nice environment, good quality food and services. Reasonable price.“

“I’ve been to this place many times, and it never disappoints! Their Peking roast duck is absolutely delicious—crispy skin, tender meat, and very reasonably priced. I also love taking the leftover duck bones home to make a rich and flavorful noodle soup.

The owner is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Every visit feels like catching up with an old friend, and chatting with her always brightens my day.

Highly recommend this place!

最爱片皮烤鸭，鸭子，酱都很好吃！“

“On a hunt for Christmas Eve dinner, we weren’t sure where to go. Having recently moved to Markham, we haven’t found a good take-out/delivery spot for Chinese food. Markham has a huge variety of Asian food, and we’ve found some good places, but we were looking for the more “americanized” version - and this was exactly what we wanted - with quality and flavour far above our expectations. The portions are very generous - every container was filled to the max. Their fried batter is light and crispy. Their dishes are nicely seasoned and spiced. Their sauces are not gloopy and overly sweet, they’re perfect. Definitely our new go-to from now on!!! So glad we didn’t give up and order from the big buffet chain. This was so far superior!“

“A great spot for 煲仔饭 at a very reasonable price. Portions are generous, and the meal comes with greens and soup, making it both filling and balanced. Good and clean store as well. Got some Popeyes while we waited for the 煲仔饭 to be served.“

“$88 for two lobsters, steamed tilapia, steamed chicken, beef and yu choy, fried rice plus soup and dessert. Awesome price and great quality, notably the crispy fried rice, tender chicken, and very soft fish!

Their lunch specials are also great, each $8-9 for a generous portion and soup or a drink.“
