A Markham gem. Feels like I'm eating at a friend's house. Super affordable, delicious soup, unique colorful noodles! Staff are super friendly, and quick with the orders and food - similar to what you'd expect at most HK cafes in the area. The interior looks like you're walking into someone's home, but each of the rooms and upstairs hold several tables. Here's what we ordered to share for 3: * Original * House special (good if you like a little spice) They're known for having 3 different colored noodles in their soups! If you see the Dairy Queen, you're going the right way to the parking in the back haha. 20260328 read more

I came here around 6pm on a Sunday and the place was really busy! A very unique setting because it's inside a house. There is seating on both sides of the house and upstairs. The service was pretty good, lots of staff, they were all fast and friendly. I got the hot and sour (one spice level) and the soup had the perfect fish and sourness. The spiciness was very mild. It had a good amount of fish, silky tofu and vegetables. I also love their rice noodle! My partner got the hot and sour (two spice level) and I don't know what happened.... It tasted so bad. Would thought it would be a spicier version of mine but his soup lacked fish flavour, sourness, spiciness - it was so bland. I would definitely be back and re-order what I got today. I also tried the original fish soup noodle and that one was good too. I would avoid the hot and sour (two spice level) at all cost... read more

My FAVOURITE noodle place in Markham. If you like fresh fish soup noodle, you have to come to this place. I know there's one in finch, but they are not the same. The Markham one has 2 floors, and many tables. The waiters are friendly and attentive. I always order the Spicy Pumpkin - not too spicy, so you can taste the amazing fish soup they made. There's grains noodle texture is just right, not too soft and not too hard. You can add extra noodle for free if you need. I have been there more than 10 times. They have a stamps program, and once you get 10 stamps, you can get a free snacks. I had the fried chicken wings, they were crispy outside, and tender inside. Anyway, this is my go-to noodle place!!! read more

Grains Fish Noodle - Noodles Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Giving a high rating because the food was really good. Broth was excellent and a generous amount of fish as well! Definitely recommend for a nice bowl of fish broth noodle soup. Would be perfect if they offer other types of noodle selection as I'm not a big fan of the grain noodles. But that's just personal preference. Service was alright, the lady wasn't too helpful when I asked to purchase some extra broth for my left over noodles to take home. read more

Grains Fish Noodle - Original with fish, lots of fish! - Noodles Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Come early in the weekend. Table filled fast. First time I am in . The noodle has multiple type. I like original noodle but my family like tomato soup noodle. The snack aka French toad is Nicely made and with equally spread condensed milk. Deep fried drumstick is everyone favourite as it fried crispy outside and inside still juice. Interesting enough this place looks like a residential house and there is extra seating area in the second floor. Limited parking and washroom has to walk downstairs. The accessible washroom is on the same floor and no need to walk stairs. read more

It has been a while since I last visited this place. This time we had the tomato fish soup noodles and fried chicken steak with rice in gravy sauce. The noodles were good with generous portions of fresh fish chunks, the tomato soup base was delicious and not salty, it's a heart-warming bowl of noodles, however the chicken steak rice tasted just average. Servers were polite and enthusiastic to serve their customers, but as we seated inside one of the dining rooms, we're not able to get their attention, this could be done better to improve customer service. Again 5% off if pay by cash. read more

Aptly named, this restaurant specializes in grain noodles & fish soup. The menu is small and almost everyone comes for the fish noodle soup - so comforting and perfect on a cold winter day. This restaurant is a converted house, so the interior is quite unique (like stepping into someone's living room). The inside is always packed and crowded, and the distances between tables are quite small - so it can feel cramped and loud. We tried the Original Fish Soup (their most popular and signature item), Tomato Fish Soup, and the boiled vegetables (yu choy sum). Every bowl of noodle soup came in a very LARGE bowl (big portion size!), enough to feed 2 people... with plenty of grouper fish fillet, tofu, noodles, and a little bit of vegetables (Napa cabbage). The Original Fish Soup was very flavourful, comforting, and they were generous with the amount of fish in the bowl. I loved that they mixed 3 different types of grain noodles - my favourite was the dark grey one (buckwheat, I think?). The Tomato Fish Soup had the exact same ingredients as the Original Fish Soup, except the broth was a tomato soup broth. It tasted just like a typical tomato soup. Between the two, I preferred the original. Boiled vegetables consisted of yu choy sum - a bit too soft to my liking, wish they were more firm and crispier. They were able to put the oyster sauce on the side / have them without the sauce, which was great. Service was speedy. They have a private parking lot with more parking spots at the back of the house. Turnover of the tables is very fast. If the restaurant is fully packed, usually you don't have to wait long until a table becomes available (fast service, food comes out fast, and the guests all seem to eat fast too). read more

This restaurant is tucked in the back lot, so if you don't know about it, you wouldn't stop by. However, it is very popular, so be prepared to wait at peak hours. We came about one hour before closing, and was lucky enough to grab a table for a late dinner. We ordered the original fish noodle soup, the tomato fish noodle soup, and some fried pork knuckles. Notably, there are non-noodle options like rice with various protein options. We got the chicken steak with rice. I really liked that the dishes came out piping hot, as the broth was extra delicious this way. The fish soup is amazing with large chunks of tender fish. Great noodles, which are made with five grains which the store is known for. Pro tip: ask for an additional order of just noodles for no charge. This is fast becoming a family favorite. read more

One of the best fish broth noodles I have had! They use grouper instead of the usual cheaper fish like tilapia, which makes a big difference. Prices are reasonable considering they use more expensive fish and offer a free noodle refill. They have a number of different broths like spicy/non-spicy, tomato, and sweet and sour. I have tried a few and they are all pretty good, although I do feel very thirsty after which suggests MSG. The service is good but it's also a very casual setting inside a renovated heritage house. read more

Good comfort food. Lots of fish in the soup and I also like getting their crispy fish skin. Their fried chicken that comes with the potato salad is hugeee. It's really tender. The restaurant is usually pretty packed and it's a smaller space so it's hard to accommodate a huge group of people. read more

Recommended to try this restaurant as they advertised using ling cod as their sliced fish on their menu. The layout of the restaurant feels like it's in a house, with an upstairs and downstairs. Previously, this location was a HK cafe and they kept the interior the same. I ordered the N9 Sichuan spicy beef while my partner ordered the N3 Spicy pumpkin. My initial thoughts was that the soup was very fragrant, as the sichuan flavours were spicy, tolerable and complimented the fish soup well. The beef chunks were a tad too chewy however flavoured well. The noodles were very unique, as the Chinese name implies, there were 5 types of grains used for the noodles and they looked visibly different. I did however think the noodles were too soft, softer than most rice noodles, which wasn't ideal for me. The spicy pumpkin soup was tasty, less spicy compared to my spicy beef, however more flavourful. The ling cod fish slices were fresh, and complimented the soup well. The restaurant also allows you one free noodle refill if you're feeling extra hungry! Overall I would come back if I'm in the area and craving fish noodle soup. read more

Was shortly cafe Tea Era, it closed quickly and became grains. Some of their menu still has the Tea Era items suggesting that it is from the same management. They also added a huge selection of soup with rice noodles. Fried chicken thighs with potato salad - This was on their old menu and never had a chance to try. Super glad that they kept it on the menu so I can have a try. The chicken thigh is massive! It was a bit under-seasoned, acceptable for the older crowd, but nothing a little salt could not fix. Potato salad was pretty simple, felt like a Costco or wholesale club salad. Fried fish skin - super crispy fish skin, pretty neutral in flavour. The batter And fish is perfect for soaking up flavour from the soup! Recommend to dip in the soup just before eating so the fish skin stays crispy. Original fish soup - Great value for the meal. It's big enough to share, especially with free rice noodle refills. The soup is super flavourful with loads of fish and other ingredients would come back for the soup! read more

This restaurant is tucked away from Kennedy Road, behind the Dairy Queen. There's some parking towards the front of the plaza, but more behind the restaurant. The seating inside is split into two sections on the main floor of the house. There's a washroom on the main floor and another in the basement. We really enjoy the large bowls of noodles here. They're rather large and have a lot of toppings. They do not skimp on the amount of fish that they give. I'm not as much of a fan of their appetizers though. The breading is just not for me. Their Hong Kong milk tea is good; either hot or cold. read more

Idk why this place is so busy... it's seriously nothing special. Fish broth is just okay. Romaine lettuce is the weirdest choice of veg to put in it. Rice dishes were so mid... you could literally make it at home. Fried chicken was really fresh but lacked some serious flavour. Not the cheapest bowl of noodles you could get either! They give you refills of noodles though so we did see many people sharing a bowl.. this could def make your meal way more value. read more

In the neighborhood, decided to give this place a try. Interesting, stand alone restaurant in a renovated house Ordered their fish noodle soup, went with regular instead of spicy. Plenty of fish and 3 color noodles in a rich fish broth. Cantonese style fish soup instead of the numerous China/Beijing style fish noodle soups that seems to be infiltrating every square inch of Markham. If you're really hungry you can ask for an extra bowl of noodles free of charge. Made the mistake of ordering their fried Garoupa with potato salad. The fish was not garoupa, i think it was cheap basa, and their potato salad tasted exactly like the Costco potato salad I bought last week. The choy sum was way overcooked to the point of green mush. Their saving grace was the fish noodle soup, plenty of fish, extra noodles if needed and the fish broth was on point. I would come back just for this specific dish and maybe try one of their rice dishes. As Meatloaf would sing "one out of three ain't bad" read more

I wrote notes on my images, so check them out. This noodle soup has two checkmarks of differentiation in the gta's competitive soup noodle market, for this reason they get a 5 star. First is the grouper fish filets in our Original and Signature bowls. They're really nice and perfectly salted. A step above the fish filets in Deer Gardens's noodle soups (which are also good) Second is the different types of noodles in every bite. The combined resulting texture gives an interesting mouth feel. You also get a stamp card with a point earned on every $10 spent. 10 stamps = a free snack. Snacks on the menu look pretty good to try. The service was quite polite and friendly too. Also, The restaurant is in a previous residential house, so it feels like you're eating in one of those restaurants in the boonies. Really great overall. Definitely try it. read more

As a fish lover the fish broth here is tasty, first location from Vancouver. The soup is made from fresh fish (龍躉 giant grouper). You can get classic or spicy for the fish soup. Other options with the fish soup comes with pumpkin or tomato in it. The unique thing about this noodle spot is that the noodles comes in four different colours, each colour is made with a different grain. The five grains are millet, corn, rice, sorghum and buck wheat. The fish was nice and thick not too soft like some other places, tasted very fresh with small cubes of tofu. Service is friendly, even on a busy afternoon the wait time was organized and fast! Ambiance is simple but not too crowded. I will definitely be back! read more

This is their first location outside Vancouver, the restaurant itself is quite hidden. You have to walk past the Dairy Queen located on kennedy x 14th Ave. They are famous for the fish soup 5 grains noodles with a kick of spice. It's different from the suancai fish style. It tastes good and portion is big with 1 free refill in store, but I can't eat that everyday (maybe too healthy). I think they need to have more promotions to attract customers because of its hidden location. read more

great fish soup with large chunks of fresh grouper. no complaints about their fishiness at all even though i'm usually quite sensitive to it. the mini french toast however was a bit of a let down as it was kinda soggy and no PB in the middle. overall, i think the choppy service is overlookable because their fish soup is that good and i'd come back again for it, but only that. read more

This is comfort food in a bowl. We did take out as it gets pretty packed during lunch and weekends and it was still very good when we had it at home (although I think the bowls in the restaurant are larger)! We ordered the original fish soup and tomato. The original fish was so flavourful and was very rich. The tomato was also good, it wasn't too sweet and had great flavour. We had a side of fried fish skin that was also nice and crunchy. Service was great and we noticed they do have high chairs so we might bring the kids with us next time during non peak hours! read more

Grains Fish Noodles take over the short lived Tea Era location right behind Dairy Queen's on Kennedy and 14th. They are still at their grand opening stage where you get 10% discount by paying with cash. Their signature fish broth was cooked with giant grouper and it was so delicious! Their colourful noodles are fun to eat as they are made from different grains. You'd find the texture a little bit more Al dente for that reason. The place also offer different broth options like house special broth (strong white pepper flavour), tomatoes, pumpkin and hot and sour. Although the portion is big, they offer a one-time free noodles refill after you're finished. I do find Toppings for the noodles a bit limiting as you don't get to customize to your liking. The fish pieces that came in the noodles soup was very tenderly fresh and not at all fishy. They don't immediately fall apart as soon as you pick them up. I also tried their French toast cubes! And they were also delicious. What I like about is that they made them just Crispy at the outside and soft on the inside which makes them less filling (in a good way). You don't feel like you're stuffing yourself with carbs towards the end. I'll come back again to try their spicy broth next as it looks promising. read more

If you like fish and love noodles in a rich white broth, Grains is for you! We had the OG and the spicy fish and both were fantastic. The fish was firm and fresh, very good quality, the broth was very tasty and the tri color noodles went perfect with the tofu and veg. Highly recommend. Service was good and the restaurant was clean and like others have commented, eating in a friend's home. Looking forward to taking my family there soon. read more

Overall is not bad. The soup isn't that tasty but it does have a good fish taste. The fish is good and it's fair. The noodles are too soft. I had a hot and soup and not sour enough maybe they add lettuce in it. read more
