“Seven years ago I moved to Ballantrae, and after trying many Chinese takeout places in Aurora, Markham and Stouffville, discovered one of the best in the region.Small and family run in a small strip plaza, most of Wok Chef’s dishes are quite good (excellent fried rice, wife loves the beef & broc and beef ho fen, I like the Wok Chef beef and sweet & sour chicken balls), but where Wok Chef really excels is in unfaltering consistency: food is always cooked the same and tastes the same.After moving an hour away and trying to find a new place, I’ve realized how rare a restaurant like Wok Chef actually is. Such that whenever I’m passing though Ballantrae, I’ll make it a point to stop in and pick up my favourites… which still taste just like I love!Order early, as they get very busy and a 1-2 hour wait isn’t unheard of.“
“I was craving some classic Chinese fried chicken wings yesterday and I had come across this joint via google maps. Wanted to give it a try as the cravings were that intense! I order the fried chicken wings, extra crispy and oh my goodness…it has surpassed my expectations! It was damn good! Just classic! Great amount of crisp and flavour! It definitely satisfied my cravings for that classic Chinese style wings!“
“First time here, service was great ?, price was reasonable. Leyla, Lilis and their friends were considerate and warm. My husband was having his birthday there today, the sweet birthday presents ? made him and our whole family very happy. Thank you guys!“
“This is probably one of the nicest Mandarin buffets I've been too. The food was all cook perfect the owner greated us and sat us down. She cares about her restaurant and it shows. Thank you!Vegetarian options: Choose your own adventures“
“This is my go to hot pot place. The food is always fast, fresh and yummy. My servers Leon and KK were so friendly and welcoming. They came by quickly to help us order food. Both were always smiling and offered wonderful customer service. My family and I will keep coming back here for hot pot. Thank you very much for another great experience!“
“Sheryl is the best waitress)very attentive, neat, nice girl. Attentive to allergies and responsible. Not the first time in this restaurant, but the first time we remembered the waitress and decided to leave a review)Food and Drink are great!)“
“Goubili Baozi has become my go-to spot for mouthwatering baozi. The flavors are authentic, and the texture is just right - soft and fluffy on the outside, with a savory filling that bursts with flavor in every bite. The variety of options ensures there's something for everyone, whether you prefer traditional pork or adventurous seafood fillings. The staff is always friendly and the service is prompt. Highly recommend trying Goubili Baozi for a taste of authentic Chinese cuisine!“
“What an incredible place. If you've been to Unionville, you'll know that the area has many cute and aesthetic restaurants/cafe's but this one is truly a gem. The restaurant has a very cozy but fancy vibe, dimly lit but there's still enough light to see all of the amazing food served here. The staff were super friendly, greeting every customer, both coming in and leaving. The food was definitely super good and worth the price (which, on that note, wasn't too expensive). We ordered skewers, scallops and a beef noodle soup. The skewers were kind of dry on their own, a dipping sauce definitely would have improved them a lot, and the scallops were very fresh, but I'm not a huge scallop fan so I didn't get to enjoy it fully (but my boyfriend said the texture was really good and chewy, and the seasoning really enhanced the flavour). The beef noodle soup was really flavourful and the beef itself wasn't too tough to chew. Honestly I will be going back soon, there are still so many things I want to try and I truly enjoyed the ambience.“
“Good fast food style restaurant for chinese burgers and noodles. They have modern decor and spacious seating. The burgers are crispy, and the noodles have affordable prices.There's no table service, so it's essentially a fast food restaurant where you pickup the order at the counter.I ordered a combo, and they were able to swap the pop for hot soymilk at no additional cost ?. They have a variety of cold and hot drinks available.“
“Update:The beef brisket + wonton is awesome flavours and beef is moist not tough.Came to try this place out after many reviews and got the traditional shrimp wonton noodle. The wontons are very delicious as well as broth, the noodles on the other hand didn't have much taste. I think next time I will try the beef brisket and shrimp wonton.“
“A classic rice noodle roll and congee stall, this place rocks all the classic HK stylings from the seating area to the music played through the YouTube playlist on the TV. Congee is super flavourful and deep (doesn't feel like they just threw in toppings on top of plain white congee), the cruellers are fresh and crispy, even the curry fish balls are super steeped in flavour. This place knocks it out of the park for a very reasonable price. My go to place for Chinese comfort food. Accepts cash or debit if over $20.“
“It was one of my best find in Markham till now. Banbudian Bistro specializes in authentic Sicuan cuisines. We have ordered stir-fried chicken with Sichuan chili. It is definitely a must try. Also, the fried rice with crab egg was amazing. It is a beautiful restaurant well taken care of and definitely should be on your checklist.“
“This restaurant is hands-down my comfort restaurant. Everything in here is immaculate and scrumptiously delicious, and the menu items are all affordable, not over-priced (like most things are these days), but yet they are not cheap enough for you to doubt their legitimacy. The shop is cozy and clean, with wonderful decorations all over the shop. The staff are also welcoming and friendly, thus all in all, this place is a 10/10!“
“Amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and 10/10. It was our first time trying this spot and we definitely had a great time. Our server was very nice and helped us decide what to order. Our drinks were so good as well. We will definitely be back. I advise making reservations to going prior as the space is small.“
“First time here and absolutely blown away! Tried their 生煎包, 夫妻肺片, and 牛尾拉麵 – all incredibly delicious. You can set your highest expectations, and they will not disappoint. Thanks to Wendy and Cita for the recommendation!“
“This store is the best place to be at, MCasians, Just the name makes you want to eat it, Im in a mcasians group named the JAMMIN and we are 6 Asians who support the russian commiunty, Such great food,Regards: TEAM YLMKid-friendliness: They love the asians and russiansTEAM YLM“
“This restaurant is truly unforgettable and absolutely delicious. The staff members are incredibly kind and attentive, making the dining experience all the more enjoyable. Their warmth and thoughtfulness truly enhance the overall atmosphere. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with a welcoming smile and genuine hospitality. The servers go above and beyond to ensure that every need is met and that guests feel comfortable throughout their meal.Each dish is prepared with care and precision, resulting in flavors that are nothing short of remarkable. Whether you're indulging in classic favorites or trying something new, every bite is a culinary delight. Overall, this restaurant has left a lasting impression on me, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with exceptional service.“
“Great low key place for handmade noodles. I have two boys 9-11 who are picky eaters and both enjoyed the authentic beef noodles. The soup is a curry broth, but not spicy. Husband had the braised beef noodles and said they were good. I had the pork and eggplant noodles. Really tasty sauce. Wish the egg plant pieces were bigger. The noodles are really good. We come to Toronto every few months and slways go to DTF, but im so glad we tried this place. This is not a great place for atmosphere though. You eat and leave.“
“Stopped in here on a whim and super happy we did. We got the special they have right now which is char siu soy sauce chicken and rice combo that comes with soup, all for $8.99 plus tax.The soup was delicious - a lot of quality Asian ingredients were used in it. The char Siu was nice and lean, and they use a different recipe with the sauce that is a little different from other places, but still delicious. The texture on all the food including the rice was perfect. Sometimes BBQ places make the rice too mushy, but this one was great.Lastly the people here seem really nice and were very welcoming to us. Seemed like they knew a lot of the people coming in too. Happy to support friendly people ?Note - only accepts debit and cash“
“Quaint little wonton restaurant. Quality very close to the one on Queen st. The wonton noodles are cooked beautifully with a bite to them. The braised beef is so tender it melted in your mouth. I like the broth from the Queen location slightly better because there seemed to be a bit of spice to it. But overall both taste amazing. Only downside to this location is that it doesn't offer the appetizers that the Queen location does. Curry fish balls, fried wontons etc... The spot is a bit small too so it might be hard to find seating during busy hours but if you can get a seat it's worth it! Thanks“
“Hadn't been here in a long time and I was pleasantly surprised by how well they had kept things up. Prices are decent with good sized portions, service is prompt and the food is tasty. Their milk tea is very good although a bit on the small side. Could be a bit cleaner “
“Un très belle expérience ! Le hot pot était très bon, les ingrédient également. Nous avions choisi un bouillon blanc et un autre épicé. L'épicé était un peu trop pour moi mais très très bon ! On a eu la chance d'avoir une musique live. A moins que ce ne soit toujours le cas ? En tout cas, une très belle soirée !“
“The quality of Chew Tong Tian’s food never disappoints me, and the service attitude makes me feel more friendly. Whether it’s the fish noodle soup or curry chicken rice for lunch, or the lamb belly pot or stuffed glutinous rice chicken for dinner, it’s always good. The steamed and baked fish sausage that brought back my childhood memories was really not good enough. I also looked at a restaurant and saw whether it was serious about running it. The restroom is an important indicator. In eight of the ten restaurants, I was yelled at and couldn't hold back my anger when I entered. You can leave as soon as you think about it, but the clean management is worthy of praise again and again.“
“Dim Sum!Yes, and it was the best I had in Toronto (or around)! We always dreaded getting out of Downtown for Dim Sum, but this was one time we did and we are going to continue doing it!FOOD:We got a traditional dim sum fair, with some dumplings, noodles, and of course duck! The duck was prepared well and was delicious! I have certainly enjoyed every bit of it! Btw, we took back 3 bags of food and did not even pay as much as we would downtown!SERVICE:Despite having a reservation, we had to wait for about 20 minutes to be seated. This place is busy!!! Anyways, once seated, the food came out quickly! Great work on this.ATMO:True dim sum atmosphere, minus the farts. Was fun and loud and homey at the same time.“
“Small place located in commercial building but there are signs located outside @ parking lot about the restaurant. We had beef noodles, pork stir fried with black fungus, dumplings, pop chicken & sesame noodles. Portions are pretty decent, tasty & reasonably priced. One lady served at this restaurant but she's attentive. We will definitely return to this restaurant again to try other dishes.“
“A very busy restaurant, we ordered 5 dishes and the first dish arrived 3 - 4 minutes after we placed the order, turbo serving speed! Each dish is served with a huge plate, huge portion and the food is delicious, not salty at all. Reservation is highly recommended.“
“One of the best chilli chicken with gravy dishes I've had, but the egg fried rice was stale and lacked flavour. Overall I had a good meal but next time I would order this with white rice instead.Dietary restrictions: Vegan options available.“
“The food is better than expected. It's indeed excellent. We ordered a set dinner, which is reasonably priced, and the portion is large enough, such that we had to take home some left over. The place is a bit small though, but it didn't take long for us to get our table.“
“Small gem of a noodle shop that's both cheap and very tasty! Has only about 7 small tables inside.Wuhan Dry Noodle:- noodles were perfectly bouncy and generously coated with sauce (nothing "dry" about it at all!)- sauce was the ⭐: peanutty and flavourful, with a mild spicy kick- the spicy-sour radish and salty bean toppings were great punches of flavour and paired well with the rich sauceFor about $10, it also came with a canned pop drink for free, making it a great deal for delicious noodles!“
“Authentic Taiwanese comfort food that brings me back to Taipei.Price is good and the portion is generous.If you've made it pass 5 minutes of sitting and feeling adventurous. I recommendtrying their fried golden brown Stinky Tofu. Be warned. It stinks … like weeks-old worn socks in the tropics. It tastes as it smells but if you hold your breath a little, it's really not that bad. It's crispy on the outside and soft and smooth inside. There's a very slight hint of ammonia from fermentation and while eating it, you actually forget the smell with the sauce. Good luck ?“
“This is another branch of my favourite restaurant. The best thing I like about this restaurant is that no matter which branch you visit the taste stays the same. I really love BBQ lamb skewers, beef, fried rice, hot and sour shredded potatoes, and stir fried beef. I’m their regular customer and would love to keep coming. Last time I came a Mongolian band by the name of HongGai was visiting this restaurant, and also sang few songs here. I’m adding the video as well to the review.“
“I tried the guabao combo with three different flavors that they offer: pork belly, braised beef shank and spicy chicken. I would highly recommend the spicy chicken gua bao for those who like spice, and for those who want a taste of everything GET THE COMBO!“
“After two long years, I finally had the opportunity to finally try Starchiva!Known for their take on the classics in Cantonese cuisine, Starchiva will not let you down in quality and service.Their Signature Marinated Duck is well known and for good reason! The marinating juices are a great compliment to rice and the duck is still moist and succulent.The Soya Sauce Free Range Chicken is a good chicken dish to share and the side sweetened soy sauce is nice to enjoy with the chicken.Overall, it was definitely a nice dining experience to enjoy with family and friends!“
“The selling point of this Chinese restaurant I would have to say is they have an enormous selection Chinese favourites. All the food is pretty good. Not spectacular but better than average. This place has something for everyone. Service was friendly and quick. I'd go again to try other dishes. Definitely a good place for family dinners.“
“I recently tried Heynoodles and opted for the Special Marinated Pork Ribs, accompanied by Salty Crispy Chicken and Pork and Chive Dumplings. The food was absolutely delightful, and what impressed me was not just the reasonable prices but also their commitment to customer satisfaction.Towards the end of my meal, I discovered they were willing to bring out more or substitute meat to ensure a happy and full experience. The portion sizes were generous, and I even had enough for a later meal. The in-house preparation of items like the dumplings added to the overall authenticity.With excellent customer service, reasonable prices, and delicious food, I wholeheartedly recommend Heynoodles and look forward to visiting again.“
“Fried pork knuckles with fried sauce shows up again??I ate at Markham restaurant this time and it was very delicious!But the only difference is...If the pork trotters are too juicy, the fried sauce will be watery and the noodles will be diluted I might have to do it separately next time “
“Good quality food and great prices - we had the best seller beef noodle and comforting pork noodle soups. They were fresh, had great flavour, and you can tell the broth was cooked right (not watery or full of sodium). Service was relatively quick for our take-out order.“
“first visit: march 23, 2024went with friends for dinner, we had reserved a table for 20 around 11am today. if you plan to go on a weekend, better reserve while early cause this place/branch is packed! we were seated within minutes of reservation time (630pm), and staff CHERRY was very accommodating. we were a group of 16 with some kids -apparently i over-ordered, but we had them to go anyway, so no food wasted.fast service considering how busy it was.. i can't stress enough how wonderful the staff are.. I'm calling out the owner: these people are very good! just saying! food is awesome! we had a good spot, and price is reasonable! parking a little difficult during dinner time, but lots of parking, so just be patient!they ran out of bbq pork, so our server recommended something and saved some for us by ordering it ahead. this place is highly recommended!“
“If it wasn't for the 20% discount, I wouldn't go because this restaurant is too expensive compared to other restaurants. The seafood ingredients are fresh, but all the meat and internal organs are soft in the pot. They must have been soaked for a long time or processed in some way. What's amazing is that none of the other side dishes, desserts, fruits, and ice cream are too disappointing.“
“It’s been a while since I have been able to spend time with my family in Markham. I’ve been abroad for a long time, I was really craving dim sum. Everyone in Markham knows this place; Casa Victoria. I have been about 2 years ago, and my family always goes. I had to come here the second I landed in Markham. I enjoyed my lovely experience at Casa Victoria. I came for brunch, and I loved everything I ordered. Markham/Canadian weather today have been really bad snow. Even with the bad weather, their business was boomin! I really recommend coming here. Along with the 20/10 food, their service is a 20/10 as well! Everyone was super duper nice and friendly. They accommodated to all my little brother’s allergies. I definitely recommend coming here! Yummy photos too:Dietary restrictions: Great accommodations“
“During my first visit to this Hong Kong-style restaurant nestled in the heart of Richmond Hill, I had the pleasure of trying the Charcoal Broiled Tender Pork & Scrambled Eggs with Truffle Sauce on Rice, alongside the Indonesian Fried Rice. Both dishes were served hot and tasted good.The combo also included a daily soup, which was a comforting addition to the meal, embodying the warmth and homeliness of Hong Kong cuisine.Service was another area where the restaurant shone brightly. The server was not only friendly but also exceptionally helpful and considerate, enhancing the dining experience with attentive and personalized care.Given the quality of food and service, I am eagerly looking forward to my next visit.“
“We came here for a special occasion and ordered the special combo of the week which cost $188 and opted to upgrade to lettuce wraps for an additional $15. The Pumpkin Soup came with seafood, which sounds like it wouldn’t work, but it did. We were huge fans! The Peking Duck was fantastic. Pro tip: the wraps for the Peking Duck dry out relatively quickly so be sure to eat that when it comes out. The lettuce wraps were a close second. The minced meat was really tasty without being overly salty. We really enjoyed the vegetables that they added into the meat as it gave each bite an extra crunch. They used pork neck to make their sweet and sour pork which was a bit interesting. The meat was slightly tougher and the breading was cooked in a way that made it extra crunchy. The eel was as expected. Delicious. But watch out for the tiny bones. The Abalone was really fresh and cooked perfectly and packed a lot of flavor. We got an assortment of desserts that included Mango Pudding, Cookies and Red Bean Soup. It was the perfect way to end the night. All in all our experience was superb and was enhanced by the excellent service we received.“
“The restaurant is known for its spacious private rooms and excellent service, creating a favorable dining experience for guests.Our 10 people went there for lunch, we got a private room. The food is exquisite, with creative plating that makes each dish feel like a work of art. The flavors are also wonderfully fresh and delicious. The service is very attentive and considerate, with staff frequently changing plates and refilling tea. It’s a delightful experience.“
“I’ve been coming here for forever. The food here is so good and everyone is always so nice. They always accommodate to any changes I need made to the dish. My favourites are the chow mein, chicken wings, Shanghai fried noodles and Szechuan beef. These are always my go to.“
“Definitely a unique hotpot experience. Server was nice and patient in explaning the system to us. The AYCE includes meat which they will give you when you ask, but each portion is quite generous.The mushroom soup base was quite flavorful.Very interesting concept, and cheaper than others.“
“Outstanding service from this restaurant. From the moment I walked in I was treated with respect as a customer should be treated. Throughout my meal I got constant, water refills and didn’t have to face any altercations with workers while eating. A huge appreciation to a specific worker there named Neelam, who consistently made sure that I was satisfied with my visit, and overall treated me with the most respect I’ve ever experienced in a restaurant in Markham. Food was great, dynamics were great, and would 100 % recommend this restaurant to family and friends. Again, thank you Neelam for motivating me to write this.“
“This restaurant locates inside the plaza kennedy and bur oak. They are only doing take out no dine in yet.My friend told me to try this place dishes. I ordered the spicy chicken and the fried pork chop with garlic and pepper. These dishes were so delicious. The pork chop dish was made very tasty, not greasy not dry. The order comes with soup and rice. I will check out the menu as it has lot of choices and order again. I recommend this place“
“Flavorful House is an absolute culinary gem! From the moment you step in, you're greeted with warmth and an inviting ambiance. Every dish we ordered was a delightful explosion of flavors, leaving our taste buds dancing with joy. And let's talk about the star of the show - the taro duck! It was a divine experience to taste it again, and naturally, I couldn't resist taking one whole taro duck home to savor later. The gathering with coworkers and friends was enhanced by the delicious food and fantastic service. Flavorful House truly exceeded our expectations and left us eagerly anticipating our next visit.“
“Although I'm a very novice hot-pot enthusiast, I thought I would leave a review for others looking to try something new and interesting. The server was welcoming and helpful since it was my 2 kids first time trying hot pot. They were excited to pick their own veggies, unique kinds and cuts of meat, and dry and fresh noodles (they're favourite thing to cook). I liked that many items were available on skewers which made cooking and eating nice and tidy. AYCE options not only included the items we could pick ourselves, but also choice of frozen meat and seafood, and sweet and savoury snack items like fries, fried buns, and crispy pork. There was more than enough for us to cook in our tomato broth that we left happy and content. I'd be happy to bring the family again since we enjoyed the experience.“
“Nice restaurant, very attentive staff. The Chinese food was OK. Not amazing, but not terrible. It would have been better if the sauce was served on the chicken, rather than on the side.The pizza was also good, but the crust, while thin (which is nice), was quite tough. The amount of toppings on the personal pizza was good.“
