This was the second time I came here…read more Food: Was really good, fast and efficient. Tastes really good. For the price it's good for what you get. I ordered the following: Honey Garlic Chicken Wings are my favourite, you definitely have to try them. Crisp, taste, flavour on point. Hot and spicy beef brisket noodles was really good. If you like a little bit of spice it's good. You can always ask for more spice. Beef was tender and delicious. Baked beef and mushroom in black pepper sauce cooked with cheese spaghetti - It was good. Beef was very soft and tender and very flavourful. Deep fried tentacles - Texture was soft and chewy, not over cooked or under cooked. Batter was good, made to my liking at least. It was overall good. Service - It was very good. Staff was efficient, polite and nice. Staff cleaned our tables very fast and kept refills on tea and water without asking. Overall very good experience, I highly recommend and I would definitely come back.

We used to have the takeout from the restaurant, but today we would like to dine in. It was a big…read morerestaurant, but still have a table for 3. They have paper menu on the table and also we can scan the table QR code to order online. They have different flavors of the fish noodle soup and choices of snacks. I had the tomato base fish noodle and my husband had the regular fish noodle soup which it was a bit spicy. I liked the Tomato base more because it has real tomato in it, not Tomato sauce, it was thicker than usual. We also got a side dish crispy fish skin, I had to mention that it was so good with noodle soup. It dipped into the soup for a few seconds, then took it out and tryouts. The crispy skin absorbed the soup and remained crispy. So delicious. They have other snacks and appetizers that I also want to try. But too full this time, definitely will go next time.

This is a nice dimsum restaurant with a good variety of choices on the menu. They offer S, M, and L…read moreportions at a flat price of $5.20 each, which makes it quite straightforward and easy to order, Monday to Saturday, 9 AM to 3 PM, and on Sundays and holidays before 11 AM. Tea is charged at $2.50 per person. A pretty long duration for discounted dimsum compared to other places in Markham, Scarborough, and Richmond Hill. Certainly not competing with price but giving some good quality dimsum that I value a lot. Overall, the pricing is reasonable and the selection is solid for a casual dim sum meal. I had a good experience and would be happy to come back again in the future.

We were here on a weekday evening and the restaurant was almost empty except for us and another table. The portions were big and everything was pretty good. The set menu comes with soup, fried rice and almond cookies + mango jello for dessert. It does not come with white rice. The service was attentive and helpful given we were the only table there by the end of the night. We brought our own cake which they helped us display out and cut. It was when we got the bill they stated the $398 menu is a cash deal. We scramble to gather cash. There is tax and mandatory gratuity on top of this cash deal.

We were served quickly and the service was overall great. We tried the crushed cucumbers, ginger beef, basil chicken, and scallion pancake. Everything was really yummy!! I wish the cucumbers had marinated a little bit because the dressing was really good but didn't really saturate the cucumbers. The ginger beef was so fresh and ginger-y. I'm excited to go back soon to try more dishes!!!

Go early or call in for a reservation. I've been twice and each time is been pretty busy…read more In terms of pricing, I would say it's extremely reasonably priced; especially if you get their membership. We got the membership ($20) and in addition to getting member pricing for all our dishes, we also had the highest priced bowl (the Imperial Buddha's Feast Pot Rice: regular priced $26.99 / Member Price: $22.88) comp-ed as well... So it was really a no-brainer. I particularly liked the Crispy Boneless Yellow Croaker. The fish had a nice crispy shell but the fish inside was tender and juicy. The spices that came with the dish added a mild spicy kick with a hint of sweetness that perfectly complimented the flavour of the deep fried fish. I also really liked the Osmanthus Glutinous Rice Stuffed Lotus Root. The osmanthus flavor in the honey sauce really came through and paired nicely with the lotus root. All three bowls were tasty and had a good amount of crispy rice at the bottom. Portions are extremely generous and I would say it would be a good role of thumb to only get one bowl for every two people; especially if you plan to add snacks to your meal.

Cute decor, mediocre food, not worth the hype…read more After seeing the hype of this spot on social media, I was having higher than usual expectations. However, I thought the food was just okay, a tad bland and nothing special. Here's what we got: Jelly fish app 3/5 - Okay dish. Nothing amazing for highlighting. Fried chicken 3.5/5 - This was okay and came with spices and ketchup for dipping. Small river shrimps 4/5 - Probably one of the better items on the menu. Great or sharing since they're so small. Braised pork belly clay pot rice 3/5 - It looks way better than it tastes imo. It's saucey but lacks a lot of flavour and salt! Potato chicken clay pot rice 2/5 - Super bland. To the point where I had to ask for soy sauce but they brought me black vinegar (lol). Overall, I didn't really enjoy my meal here as I thought everything was under seasoned and lacked a lot of flavour. It's not the typical Chinese lay pot rice with burnt rice on the bottom, as everything is saucey and wet.

This time we tried the popcorn chicken and beef on the rice, my husband also loved to have the milk sticks and beef cake. We like all their dishes. However, if the Beef on the rice has less rice, but put some veggies inside would be much better. They don't have too much surprises, but the food is tasty and delicious.

I finally decided to try this place after hearing so many good reviews!…read more The restaurant itself is clean and has a decent number of tables inside, although they only had two high chairs for the whole restaurant, so we had to wait a little for one. Service was quick and easy. You scan a QR code to order, and the food came out pretty quickly. Just a heads-up that most of the workers seemed to primarily understand Mandarin. We decided to order a few different things to share, and everything we tried was good! The buns were nice and juicy, and everything was really flavourful. Nothing was particularly mind-blowing, but it was all tasty and satisfying. The portions aren't huge, but the prices are pretty reasonable per plate. Honestly, I liked that because it meant we could order more variety and try more things without spending too much. Overall, a solid spot for a quick, cheap, and tasty meal. I can see why it's so popular!

Tucked into a corner in a plaza, this place is PACKED late at night - like line ups packed. Luckily got a table (it's 2 floors, don't let the outside fool you thinking it's a tiny place) Ordered a bunch of the lamb skewers and instantly fell in love. Which was surprising bc I'm not a fan of lamb in North America- it tastes too gamey for me. But not here! We just came for the skewers lol. Ordered a bunch, shovelled them in my mouth, and went home happy. I'll definitely be back. Definitely a fave with the area residents and students (Seneca is up the street)

The inside is surprisingly spacious, with even a second floor. They specialize in Chinese BBQ skewers, with a great variety to choose from. The meat was fresh and tender, well seasoned while still letting the natural flavour of the meat come through. I especially liked the Juicy Crispy Chicken Bites and the Beef Top Sirloin. The Grilled Cabbage was surprisingly flavorful. The Supreme Seafood Rice was yummy too. It was covered in a rich seafood sauce, which I absolutely loved. The service was amazing. The staff member who looked after us, Evelyn, was super friendly and thoughtful. Even though it was a busy evening, she paid attention to our needs, made sure we had everything we needed, and even celebrated my birthday with us. She truly made this dining experience special, and definitely deserves a bonus :) Wish every restaurant had staff like her.

The space is styled like a…read morerustic village setting, with wooden booth structures, straw-thatched details, hanging dried corn and chili peppers, and red lanterns that instantly create a warm, festive atmosphere. 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.

The highlight is the Iron Pot Stew (Tie Guo Dun), an interactive, communal dining experience where a massive iron pot is integrated directly into your table. Diners gather around as meats, seafood, and vegetables simmer in a rich, flavorful broth, filling the air with enticing aromas. Beyond the immersive stew, the restaurant shines with large portions of classic Dongbei dishes and flawless, homemade dumplings.

Service is attentive, with staff expertly managing the stew and adding fresh cornbread dough to the pot's sides, which steams to perfection.

The hint of 5-spice amongst other aromatic spices including chili oil, garlic and preserved Chinese condiments are sublime. The noodles are perfect, good QQ. Meat perfectly prepared. The Chinese beef "jerky" is my go-to here. Never disappoints. My hubby loved his beef brisket bowl. The smashed cukes in Xiaoxing vinegar were perfect and the smoked taofu a delicate, refined accompaniment to this five star meal. Restaurant is spotless. Staff are busy but pleasant. Highly recommend their plum juice too. I bought one before I left and it hit the spot. Plummy and authentic. Barely sweet - the way it should be. This will be on our usual list of regular restaurants. And very reasonably priced.
