Mom's Pan-Fried Bun 老娘水煎包 | Markham

I have been to the Downtown Chinatown location and now trying this Markham location. It's not easy to find a table here at the Markham location as it's constantly have so many people waiting and I don't want to lineup, so it took this long for me to dine here at the Markham location.

The food menu is pretty much the same as the Downtown Chinatown location.

This location is spacious, quite a number of tables and seating area. Modern, clean and brightly lit throughout the entire resto. Nice animated graphics on the walls.

We ordered pork intestines soup glass noodles and little dragon steam dumplings (xi lung bao) - 6 pieces in a steamy hot basket.

Little Dragon Dumplings:
- steamy hot
- juicy, good pork juice explode in your mouth

Pork Intestines Glass Noodles:
- good portion
- spicy
- no weird smell in the pork intestines, which are major bonus (quite a good amount of pork intestines).

If you can't eat spicy, you can ask for less spicy. Unfortunately, I asked if it could be mild, the staff said no, you can only ask for less spicy but it's can't be mild.

I wish they have more soup noodles variety as many soup noodles options consist of beef (which my parents don't eat beef).

Anyhow, food and service are great here. Staff constantly come over to ask if you need anything, they clean up the plate often, we asked for take-out box with no questions asked.

They accept credit card, which is a major plus.

I now understand why it's so popular coz it serves authentic Chinese food with good portion, and amazing pricing. I think their prices are so attractive, way cheaper than many other restaurants.

Soup Noodles at $9.99 CDN + tax, steam dumplings at $5.99 CDN, Cold appetizer ranges from $3.99 to $4.99 CDN and pan fried scallion pancake at $2.99 CDN, unheard of pricing in Toronto!

We will definitely come back to try more items. So many items that we want to try.

The pan fried buns and braised beef noodle soup are always delicious here, and our favourite items on the menu. We've also had the pan fried dumplings and soup dumplings which are good.
We did also try the new chicken wings, which we found were fried quite oily/batter-heavy so wouldn't recommend those. The desserts are great value as well, they aren't the best desserts you can find of that type, but for the price it is decent.

I had such an amazing experience at Mom’s Pan Fried Buns! Their chicken pan fried buns are absolutely delicious perfectly crispy on the bottom, soft and fluffy on top, and so juicy inside. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. Definitely coming back!

Food was great. Was seated fairly quickly. The first two orders came fast but the wings took over 30 minutes. I had to walk over to ask what's taking so long. Only then it came out right away. Don't know what happened but overall still satisfied.

Will be coming back with the family.

Food is great! I love the classic beef noodle soup. The two times I was craving it and ordered takeout over the phone, they gave me the order wrong BOTH times. I would not recommend ordering on the phone if you do not speak mandarin. No matter how i’ve ordered (by naming the dish or naming the item number) they haven’t gotten an order in its entirety right. First they gave me two completely wrong dishes. The second time, I double checked to make sure they didn’t mishear me but they forgot the soup for my beef noodle soup.
