    Mac and cheese missing lobster
    Doug G.

    HK Cafe in the day Bar at night Nice casual ambiance, revamped from the first days of opening. Parking: Abundant parking, underground and outside Service: it was not bad but not great, our 1 server was helpful however if you ask some of the wait staff I am not even sure they know their own menu Food: mediocre at best, we ordered two apps and one main all to share Meatball slider (2/5) 2 meatball sliders with rose sauce, was lacking flavour Lobster Mac and cheese (2/5) First dish that came out was missing lobster entirely... Was missing flavor, bland and was overall not good. Comes with 2 pieces of garlic bread but not even that could save it Soft shell crab basket. (3/5) Same as above, missing flavor, it was also missing a chipotle aioli that is supposed to come with it. We couldn't finish our food, we packed it up to make it better at home. We came here cause we watched a movie and was already late, in future I'll only come back for the HK cafe food.

    So apparently this resto is called Good Catch Bar & Cafe now? Interesting. It seems that they've kept the boil house menu and still use fresh seafood but they've fused the seafood with bar food. So the new menu shows pastas, salads and sizzling plates now. The wings are super underrated here for a seafood place haha. Resto still located on enterprise boulevard in the same unit. The owner is still the same as before. I don't think the seafood has gone down in quality but the price has definitely gone up with inflation. Would definitely come back in the future to try some of the fusion-y dishes (specifically in the shareables menu section). Good catch blend or cajun sauce with corn, potatoes and sausage sides really hits the spot if you order up a boil bag here.

    It could be a perfect meal if served with hot soup. Hong Kong style café with more selection, fusion style of delicious bar snacks and liquor/cocktails. A. good place for hanging out

    Got takeout today and service was quick and available during Xmas. Wow. Im impressed. The food was quick, 10 mins, and ready piping hot as suggested. My only complaint was they got one of the things wrong but could be simple miscommunication over the phone. Just glad they confused my original item with something else I wanted to order. Overall I would recommend if u want HK style restaurant food.

    Chicken steak with black peppercorn sauce. Crispy, tender, spicy. Absolutely recommended.

    Disappointing shrimp toast

    Very disappointing shrimp toast. Barely any shrimp, but a whole lot of bread and bread crumbs. Potato salad was just as bad. One visit is enough.

    Pineapple bun with beef and egg

    We've been here twice and we really like that this cafe serves both seafood and HK style dishes. You check in at the front desk by entering your cell number and name. They text you once the table is ready. We came here once during the week night and another time for brunch. It's usually pretty busy any time of the day. We ordered the chicken steak with cream sauce and pasta and the Cajun seafood rice, sliders and seafood platter for dinner during our first visit. The most recent time we ordered the beef satay French toast and pineapple bun with beef and egg. Overall the dishes are pretty good. The slider wasn't very good though. The meat was too dry, the cheese was not melted completely and the bun was somewhat hard. If you pay cash you get 10% off. Ample parking.

    In past recent years, it's sort of becoming tradition for my family to feast here for birthday celebrations. It's not often we make seafood at home and at this quantity so it's a real treat for us when we eat here. Due to strict lockdowns, we nearly forgot this was our birthday thing! We only remembered the morning of lol. I also braved the latest lockdown reviews (which weren't too good) and trusted Good Catch to provide an awesome at-home family birthday dinner for us, and they did :) For 4 people, we ordered two large boil combos which came in tied up bags as you would expect when you dine-in. Ordered a side of fried oysters too because I miss them so much. We prepared our own sides and drinks at home. I ordered by phone (would've been nice if their website online ordering system worked), told them what time I expect to pick it up. They can prepare the boils in as fast as 15 min. They made our food on time and it was still steaming hot when I picked it up & when opening at the table :) Pickup was easy, in & out in about 5 min. The only bummer was that corn was unavailable for the combos, (low season for corn), so they offered to double the potatoes instead. At home, we tried to dine "Good Catch style", meaning we just ate out of our plastic bags with gloves, bibs and all (they provide). We even brought out stainless steel bowls to catch our shells. But actually, this way, all the sauce falls to the bottom and everything on top remains bland. So... ADVICE for all you at-home diners: pour your Good Catch boil onto a baking pan to make sure the sauce touches everything, and that way less digging around. It might cool down quicker but flavour is the priority, right?! We're all learning as we go ;) All in all, the food was excellent. The flavour was how we remembered it to be, (very garlicky lol). I didn't feel like quality or quantity was compromised. My family was so satisfied; we definitely stuffed ourselves that evening and we had a great time. Our next family bday is in a month's time and we'll be much better prepared to tackle our next at-home boil, professionally! lol

    Great place with good vibe. Their food is great as well. This is one of the most visited cha chang teng in my list. Their rice dishes are authentic and in great portion.

    I really enjoyed good catch's cafe's menu so I always wanted to give their boil a try. The prices were all pretty expensive but I guess prices have gone up for everything lately. Honestly their boil is pretty mediocre, I got the Good Catch Blend sauce at medium spicy and it was super bland. My friend got the good catch blend sauce with mild sauce and it basically taste exactly the same as mine, also very bland. Not to mention they barely give you a lot of sauce to be able to coat all your seafood and your sides. We asked for extra sauce and it was an extra $7 just for a little bowl of sauce?! We also got a Cajun seafood fried rice and not surprisingly, it was also very bland. Overall it was pretty disappointing, the only reason I would even give it stars is because of the super nice lady who brought us our food!

    Nice to know the quality is still there in the food. Service is great. The big screens were showing the NBA playoffs. Great place to lounge at night. Lobster Roll ($25) lobster was really fresh tasting and had a fair amount in the roll. Chose the cold option with mayo and was great! The caesar salad was sufficient. The fries are now simply put.. different... or maybe they serve different types of fries for different dishes. Who knows? I remember their fries being inconsistent in the past. ex. the Yelp dish would use something resembling shoestring oven fries and then another dish would use something resembling deepfried costco fries. Anyway this wasn't a deal breaker. Malpeques Oysters (1.75each) and there was no minimum order. They were nice! Came with 4 different communal sauces and came in a martini glass. Cute presentation!

    I love Southern Cajun seafood boil, so when I discovered Good Catch while I was in the Downtown Markham area for a movie, I just got to check it out. I've been a fan of Captain's Boil for years and so many of my observation at Good Catch would be compared against Captain's Boil. In terms of space, the restaurant definitely has a good ambiance that has a cool boat house vibe. There is also an outdoor patio space by their entrance for the warm summer days. They also have lots of seating indoors too, so big groups are certainly welcome. For the prices, it's fairly comparable to Captain's Boil, but I do find they have more special offerings on top of the seafood boil such as poke bowls, nachos, lobster rolls, and other lunch items. The combo meals are probably the best deal, because for about $30 you can get 2 lbs of seafood plus some corn and potato. I ordered a Clams + Shrimp Combo and a pound of Snow Crab Legs to share mixed in their signature Good Catch Blend (Cajun + Garlic Butter). I find the quality of the seafood to be quite good and they definitely give enough food that weight the right amount. I find the sauce to be saltier than Captain's Boil and has a more garlicy flavour. It was a lot of food for 2 people and we ended up packing some home.

    Hot lobster roll
    Sandy L.

    Absolutely horrible service, laughable portion and overpriced! 1st, we had to ask for water to be served! 2nd, I was to flagged down a waiter multiple times for a plate to share. 3rd, for a lobster roll set that's charged $33, the roll itself is smaller than a cell phone with a size of around 5 inches. We asked the server about it they said its about the right amount of size and lobster but damn I have been to GC before the pandemic and it's definitely NOT the same size and amount of lobster as they claimed to be. It's a horrible feeling when they just lied straight to your face like that and even suggested that they could load some lettuce underneath to make it look more plumped/filled ?!!!@@

The tower was beautifully presented and what I love most about the tower is their pancakes. Truly fluffy and light with whipped cream on top of it. Overall, service was efficient and attentive, often checked on and refilling water. On top of that, the restaurant has great decor and parking is provided in the back of the restaurant. Its considered on a slightly higher end for brunch ($20-30 range), but it was truly an amazing experience. They also have daily promos so worth checking out for dinner and late night deals.

And as for the blackened chicken po boy...well it is blackened chicken. A bit light on the sauce, but a great flavor. Great. Some canadian places seem to be like "well, not too black"...not this place. It was charred to perfection. Overall, i loved it. And it made me miss Southern Accents a little less.
