We saw on Instagram that they had a $25 Double Meal Set deal going on so we decided to come try it out. It's essentially 2 entrees + 1 appetizer and you get to pick which ones you want. I've attached an image of the different options available. We came in on a week day and honestly it was quite dead. They do have fantastic Bruce Lee art on the walls. The seating wasn't exactly too comfortable and the washroom was not very clean. Service can be slow at times because there was only 1 waiter. We choose the Classic Beef Noodle, Chicken & Mushroom Clay pot rice and the Cold Spiced Chicken. It also came with a Seaweed egg drop soup. The Classic beef noodle was very average. The beef wasn't seasoned very well and the noodles were a bit too soft. Honestly it was quite disappointing. However, the Cold Spiced Chicken and the Chicken & Mushroom Clay pot rice saved the meal! They were both so delicious especially the clay pot rice. The Cold Spiced Chicken was tender and spicy. It was really good but just a tad bit too oily for my liking. The seaweed soup was a bit bland but it was great to cut out the oiliness of the cold spiced chicken and clay pot rice. The clay pot rice on the other hand was seriously a 5/5 for me. I haven't had clay pot rice in a while so I may be bias but I can't think of a single thing I didn't like about it. The rice was cooked perfectly. The chicken was so tender and soft. And the layer of crispy rice at the bottom was so delicious and crunchy. The vegetables and mushroom were there... but I mean you can't really screw those up. The portion sizes were really good as well. For a place that has "Hand-pulled noodle" in their name, I am quite surprised that their clay pot rice is better than their noodles haha. I would definitely come back for their clay pot rice and I think this $25 double meal set is still a really fantastic deal. Also they only take cash or debit.

Came here for a weekday breakfast, they have breakfast deals until 11:30am on weekdays. It is a great deal with combos of congee and a side for $7.75! There was a wide variety of items to choose from, congee, rice rolls, and a variety of snacks. We got a couple of congee and snack combos and also a couple of side orders of other things. The congee portions were gigantic, more than enough for two people to share and have their full. The fried dough was good too and big. Overall a great deal and good food, lots of options to choose from. Will need to come back to try their hand pulled noodles.

Shanghai pan fried buns

Came on a Saturday night around 8 pm for dinner. We saw lots of posts about this restaurant on social media so wanted to try. Their $25 special for 2 is only available M-T until 8 pm. We wanted to order the rice clay pot but because it takes 20 minutes to make they stop serving the rice earlier. We ordered the meat sauce dry noodles, the spicy chicken, congee with fish slices and the Shanghai pan fried buns. The meat sauce noodles was decent with the noodle texture really good but the flavour was a bit lacking and needed to add their chili sauce which was also lacking flavour. The congee texture was very watery but the fish slices was very fresh and good. The spicy chicken was very tender but also lacked flavour. The pan fry buns was ok and juicy but the wrapper thickness was inconsistent although the flavour was decent. Gave 3 stars only for the price as taste would be 2 stars.

Beef offal with rice noodles

First time at Big Beef Bowl in Markham! I finally got to try their famous noodles and ordered the large Beef Offal with rice noodles--so flavorful and packed with meat. Great portions, great price. Can't wait to go back and explore more, especially their breakfast combo!

Got shrimp 肠粉。 it was pretty good. Wrapper was not too thin or too thick. There were bite sized shrimp present. Service was standard and nothing to complain about. The sauce paired nicely and wasnt too salty or sweet. The place was pretty packed around 8pm. I would come back to try their beef noodle soup.

Had a GREAT experience for my first visit here! Big Beef Bowl has their own menu PLUS a few pop-ups within their shop! It's really great that there are so many options inside one space. It is large and feels a bit like a food hall. Food is super tasty, and staff are very personable and helpful. I am a huge fan of soup noodles, and was eager to try! I loved the lamb soup boodle with extra thick noodles. Ask for scissors to help with the noodles. And the pan-fried soup dumplings are great too. HIGHLY recommend trying the Laksa, and Satay Skewers from Little Jakarta, too. Definitely will return to try more from all the different menus!

Filled with lots of Pork meat, good portions

First time visiting this place, we ordered five dishes , it is ok , service is great and fast, I would come back again try more other dishes !

Came to visit in the morning as it was leading into lunch time and noticed every table was having congee and rice rolls rather than their hand pulled noodle soup. I was intrigued and looked deeper into their menu and realized they open pretty early for breakfast. So you have the breakfast menu of cheap congee (porridge) and rice rolls if you're into that but also can get lunch during lunch hours of 11:30AM onwards if you're here for their hand pulled noodles. It gets quite busy here so it's a pretty quick meal. Not really a place for having deep conversations in. The servers seem to be always on the go since they're so busy. I always go for their meat sauce noodle which is dry without soup. I also enjoy the flat fat noodles the most since it gets all the sauce onto the noodles. Another must get for me is the san ji bao, since it's pan fried on the bottom, but has a juicy exterior with the meat. A great spot for some comfort food!

The beef, greens and the noodles without the broth. Size "small".

This is your quintessential bring your kids here Chinese restaurant! The decibel level is enough to blow your eardrums. LOL. Happy sounds. The food here is predictable: good quality beef, not too much fat, not salty, silky smooth hand pulled noodles enjoyed in a family environment. Prices are reasonable for this day and age. The shredded potatoes in chili oil and sesame oil were exceptional. The lamb skewers (not pictured) are a waste of time TBH.

Located conveniently at Hwy 7 and Kennedy, the restaurant offers lots of yummy food from hand-pulled noodle to clay pot rice and snacks. The interior has a feel of the west, very casual and unique. The Shanghai Pan Fried Bun is dying for, the bottom is crispy, a mouth full of soup when having a bite. The hand-pulled noodles are made in house. The service is very prompt. Love the food here and will be back again.

Shanghai pan-fried bao
Wynne L.

Even though this restaurant has quite a bit of seating, it was very busy during lunchtime. Also, this plaza is basically all restaurants, so parking may be hard to come by. We ordered Shanghai pan-fried bao, Chinese cured meat and sausage claypot rice. The table next to us had also ordered sang ji bao, and it turned out that the meat wasn't fully cooked. The server apologized, took back the dish, assured the customers that a new one was being made for them, and let them know that the manager was giving them a discount. That's really good customer service! Luckily, our bao was fully cooked. Perhaps a little overcooked, as the bottom of the bao was quite hard. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. The bao was quite a bit smaller than we expected, though. For the claypot rice, we prefer it from the other restaurant in the plaza.

Skewers - wings, pork belly, cumin lamb

We came at off peak time (4pm on a weekend) and was seated immediately. Overall, friendly service and quick food preparation. Impressed with the variety offered on the menu. It looks like two restaurants is combined in one space - Big Beef Bowl that offers Lanzhou style noodle and grills, and West Gate canton restaurant that offers congee, rice rolls, clay pot rice, dumplings etc. This makes it perfect for family groups when everyone has different cravings :) We tried the ox tail beef noodle. The broth is flavourful, noodles has a nice chew, and the meat is tender and falls off the bone. Skewers of wings, pork belly, and lamb were tasty. Cantonese cheung fan was filled with ample amount of meat and veggie. Dumplings and san ji bao were scrumptious and juicy.

I had a very high expectation for this place. I recently am intrigued by Chinese noodle soups. I love the delicacy of the noodles' - in terms of variety of styles, the springy & chewy but soft noodle texture, and the depth/flavor of the soup. I heard this place makes fresh hand stretched noodles with a variety of options (thin, regular thick, round, flat etc). Excited to try this place! It was on Saturday close to 2pm but this place was FULL . There were a few groups waiting for table. Seated fairly quickly and servers came to our table quickly to serve hot tea and take orders. Service was attentive and super efficient. We had # Classic Beef Noodle (Size L, with flat thick noodles) : Served with a pair of scissors, because the noodles are too thick to cut with a pair of chopsticks. (It was like a lasagna!) Yes, the noodles were really thick and chewy. I kind of regretted that I should have chosen regular noodles. A bit too tricky to eat by chopsticks. Because of the thickness, it did not integrate the flavor of soup (very simple - nice - flavor) very well. The soup was good. I wished there were more meat - it is far less compared to the amount of noodles. # Fried San ji Bao : Great, crispy and juicy. Next time, I want to try different noodle thickness, with stronger soup options. :)

Came back for another visit and ordered a couple of different items from last time. In addition to…read morethe salad and crispy chicken we added a order of: Spring Rolls - love the way they come in little rolls as opposed to 2 large ones cut in half; perfectly crispy Bone Marrow Carbonara - unfortunately this was a miss. It's basically carbonara pasta with bone marrow you scrape off from the bone. Sauce wasn't very flavourful and a bit too watered down. Still a good second visit.

A cool, modern take on Vietnamese food. This place is really busy and for a good reason! Their menu…read morehas many items indicated as a "favourite". I found it funny cause almost every item has the "favourite" symbol but everything tastes good! I love the decor inside. Lots of lights, florals and greenery. There is limited seating though since it gets busy - Maybe 10 tables of 4 on the outside perimeter and another 5 tables of 4 on the inside. We got the razor clams, 12 wings and beer special (after 8:30pm), smoked beet and pig ear salad, brisket and ribs and bun bo hue. The 12 wings and beer would have been such a good deal except the drink was pretty watered down. We brought it up to the waitress so hopefully they change that in the future. The wings were crispy,m and delicious. The razor clams tasted good too, but it only comes with 4. The smoked beet and pig eat salad was one of our favourites! Unique, flavourful and good crunchy textured. The brisket and ribs were another favourite. Tender and flavourful. The bun bo hue was good too. Service could have been better. One of the waiters wasn't that friendly. We still had a good time though and enjoyed the food. I would come back to try their other dishes.

Between the two well-known Chinese BBQ spots in First Markham Place, it was tough to choose, but we…read moreended up going with HKS. Both had long lineups around lunchtime, but I liked that this spot offers the option to pair your meats with either noodles or rice. The duck was meaty and plump, with beautifully glistening skin. The roasted pork was perfectly seasoned, featuring that addictively crisp, crackly skin. The BBQ pork was equally impressive, tender and juicy with a glossy, caramelized exterior that balanced sweet and savory flavors really well. None of the meats felt overly fatty or heavy, and when paired with steamed cabbage and your choice of noodles or rice, it made for a really satisfying meal. The vermicelli noodles were thick and chewy, and they come with a side of broth in addition to the soups. The soup itself was light with a pleasant herbal note. The noodle broth, however, had great chicken flavor but was slightly too salty for my taste, so I ended up diluting it a bit to fully enjoy it.

Located inside the first markham food court…read more The parking can get crazy on weekends so pack your patience and get ready for a hike to work up your appetite. There has been a long debate as to left or right BBQ shop to reign supreme. I find the flavourings of HKS to suite my taste buds more. Not to say Excellent is bad but just not what I was brought up with. To each their own. The combo prices have slowly crept up over the years from the 5.99 two meal combo to the current 9.99 price point I enjoy the BBQ pork and duck as the pork has a nice meat texture with crisp skin along with the duck that is meaty and not too fatty with a nice seasoning to infuse through the meat while roasting. The shop is in a food court and if you are looking for a romantic meal for 2... this may not be your ideal destination. If you are looking for more of a HK hustle and bustle with a side attitude if you take too long to go with your meal, this is the place for you. Do prepared for a long queue to get your meal during the prime weekend times that may be up to 40+ minutes to get your meal
