    This place looks like it was 20 years ago. Massive skylight bringing in generous amounts of sunlight. Pinkish walls with loads of paper stuck onto it. What has changed is the way to order and grab food now. Its kinda like a cafeteria style where patrons walk up to make an order and then pickup at another station. Food was ready quick like within a minute after ordering. The dine in seems to have converted to take out containers as well now, which is a shame in terms of sustainability. Wonton fish ball lo mein - Massive wontons with whole shrimps inside, great texture and cooked right. The fishball has the right bounce to it and is quite fishy. Be a bit careful when eating because I had bit into a small fishbone, but thats just showing that the fish ball is made from real fish! Got the ho fun as part of the lo mein, not sure why as they put a good amount of oyster sauce ontop. Next time would get the regular noodles with the lo mein or the soup with rice noodles. Would recommend

    This is a difficult review to write, as I've likely eaten here 100+ times over a 30-year span. I have many happy memories of eating delicious bowls of wonton noodles in this bustling restaurant -- first taken by my parents, and then later taking my own kids -- while watching staff make a mountain of wontons on a back table. We stopped coming during the pandemic and have only been back a couple of times since. The current restaurant is a shadow of its former self, but we need to set aside the burden of history and consider this restaurant on its own merits today. First, it is no longer quite a "restaurant", but now a glorified cafeteria -- you order your meals near the back, and a few quick minutes later, carry a tray with your meal to your seat. Tea is no longer provided; just hot water. Gone are the porcelain bowls and plastic chopsticks, and now disposable cardboard bowls, wooden chopsticks, and plastic spoons are the new norm. You're also expected to clean up after yourselves; the only service provided is a quick table wipe-down after you leave. The presentation is spartan but one bite reminds you why you keep coming back. The light broth, sets the scene; the egg noodle is the supporting cast, firm and never soggy, but still flavourful. The wontons are the star: large, juicy, and with massive shrimp that give a satisfying crunch -- a mouthfeel that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. The most polarizing issue is the price. At $12, the basic wonton bowl (vegetables no longer included) is a bit high for what you get, but criminal when compared to the $4-$5 bowls of the past. If I were rating the food alone, this would be an easy five-star. I'm pleased to report the food or menu hasn't changed in over three decades, the flavours bringing back a burst of nostalgia. But with that nostalgia are memories of what this restaurant used to be, and the service, price, and experience today are sadly lacking. Four stars.

    So it's been a very long minute since we were last here and there have been a number of changes. The big one being all the prices went up! Everything is 12 bucks now and the way the menu is posted it looks like a side dish of vegetables is also 12 bucks. This is very much quick serve. You walk in, order at the cash (which is now located at the back of the restaurant) and then grab a seat. Looks like they kept their COVID setup as there is a table at the back where you grab your order when your number is called. All condiments are also located at this table and is for dine in customers only (BIG sign stating this). Hot water is complementary. Once upon a time it was tea. Everything is disposable! Cups for water, chopsticks, plastic spoons, bowl the noodles come in etc! You get the idea. A sign on the door stated extra containers were $1.00 each. What was ordered: Signature noodles Signature lo mien You get sliced beef, 2 shrimp wontons and 2 fish balls. Choice of noodles from your standard wonton noodles to rice noodles or vermicelli. We chose the wonton noodles and consistency was really good. Slightly bouncy with a nice bite to them. Wontons were still full shrimp and the fish balls were not the preformed kind. While the food was still decent was it worth $12.00? The experience wasn't. It was slightly troubling that all the serving dishes/utensils were disposable. The prices on the original menu were covered up by a strip of duct tape and you can see that prices went up by 4 bucks or more. When you are done eating you clear your own table. Might be an even longer minute before we decide to return again.

    On food alone, I am giving this place 5 stars, but then I had to think if I am coming in, why am I being served like I am in a food court, it just is a weird way to do business, but I will come back, and their wonton's are some of the best I have had in Markham. OK, it has been said in other reviews, and I probably sound like a parrot saying it, but what the heck is going on here, served in paper bowls, using disposable chopsticks and spoons, using small plastic containers to get your hot sauce, and then trying to dip your food in said small container creates a mess on the table. Did I step into a restaurant? The only thing this has is dedicated tables, and a washroom.... ok enough with this. Let's get to the good stuff, and that is.... a very limited menu, and it's on the wall, you go to the till and order, and you pay, and then you just wait while your food comes out on a tray. You get your condiments next to the till, you go to your table, you sit, eat, and go.... it's that simple. So my friend swears by this place, so I gave it a shot, and we went, order just a bowl of wontons, a bowl of their fishballs, and a dish of greens. This place does not go stingy on anything you order, the portions are fair, and because their menu is so small, they aren't going to go mess up what you are ordering, you are getting exactly what you want. the greens they gave us, loaded and nicely stacked, took me a while to get through that dish. The wontons and the large fish balls, 6 a piece in the bowl, all were plump and delicious, cannot complain about this. The only thing I might do the next time I come back, is actually bring my own bowl and utensils, it's not easy eating hot soupy things like wonton in paper low edge bowls, and using disposable utensils, but if you can overlook all of this..... the food... full on 5 star!

    Can not wait to encore today. It not only has a reasonable price, but also all are so delicious for instance,Wonton noodles, wonton, fishball and beef. Don't miss to try especially during promotion till the end of Dec

    Let's get the obvious out of the way, the wontons are good. If you just want to get some take out wontons, then this place is very good and you can't go wrong. What was disappointing to me was dining in, and being served disposable cutlery and bowls. Besides the avoidable large amounts of waste being produced daily from this, it's just a bad experience to use wooden chopsticks and tiny plastic spoons inside a restaurant. Not only that, but my paper bowl did not retain heat as well as a reusable bowl would have, so my large bowl of noodles for cold. 4/5 for takeout, but if you want to dine in, enjoy your experience somewhere else.

    One of the last and final old school Cantonese hong kong style. Try it while you still can. One of my go too places here in toronto. I drove all the way from New York to eat all the great Cantonese food in the Toronto area.

    If you're looking for really good, simple, delicious, and inexpensive Chinese noodle dishes, you've got to try Jim Chai Kee Wonton Noodle, with two locations in the GTA. On this occasion, we went to their Richmond Hill location, at West Beaver Creek and Highway 7 E. They offer noodles, noodles with soup, and a small selection of accompaniments, such as wontons, fish balls, beef, and vegetables. Period. That's it. Simple, delicious, filling, and very inexpensive at only CDN$12/bowl. There is no table service. You order and pickup at the counter, and then clear your table when you're finished - the same as every fast food restaurant. The decor is also simple and very sparse, with large poster-sized menus on the walls. My friends and I ordered the Beef and Fishball Lo Mein (includes a bowl of soup), Wonton and Fishball Noodle Soup, Wonton Noodle Soup, and Chinese Broccoli with Oyster Sauce. Everything tasted great, with generous portions. I liked the texture of the noodles. The food earns a solid rating of 4/5, while the ambiance and decor scores only 3/5. Nonetheless, it's worth a visit. Check them out!

    We were going to try this place last time we were in Canada for a wedding but the camera man talked us out of it. I've heard a lot about this place from our friends. The noodle is good and reminds me of noodle in Hong Kong. The wonton has a lot of wrinkles and looks like a brain which to me is a good sign of good wontons. And they are pretty good and the shrimp is great. It's more like a food court than a restaurant though. You go to the register to order your food and they call your name to pick it up. You get your own hot water, hot sauce and vinegar if you like. The hot sauce is excellent but be warned if you can't take spicy just dip lightly. The fish ball isn't really fish ball, it's more like fish slap, it was very good. I peeked in the kitchen it was cooked by some young kid which I did not expect. The food was good though. I just thought it would be cooked by some older experienced chef. Parking was horrendous during lunch time in Sunday. It got better we finished. The food was good and taste authentic but I don't think it is worth the hype.

    AMAZING WONTON SOUP. it's the best I've ever had! I got the shrimp wonton noodle soup. the noodles have the perfect chew and the soup is so tasty. good portion. loved this place. it's worth the hype!

    Every time we come to Canada, we have to stop by Jim Chai Kee for their won ton and fish noodles. Menu is relatively small but that's the beauty of this place. This is all you get but what you get are all fantastic! Since I don't eat meat anymore due to health reasons, I ordered the shrimp wonton with fish balls in rice vermicelli soup. Hubby ordered their specialty thick rice noodles with beef, shrimp won ton and fish balls. My oldest ordered their beef with fish ball lo mein with oyster sauce and my youngest got the beef thick rice noodles. Everyone finished everything! It is self serve so you don't have to tip and they provide hot water for you. But if you want an extra container, it is 0.50 cent each. The best part is their chili oil. You MUST try their chili oil. I like to pour a little bit into the noodle soup. Remember a little goes a long way! It's pretty spicy and I can handle spice. We will continue to come back whenever we're in Canada!

    Haven't visited this restaurant since the take out only days during covid19 until today. They have pretty much made the restaurant a take out/fast food type of spot. Go through to the back of the restaurant and place your order. Items available are posted on both sides of the wall with the majority of the items being $12 taxes included. Once you're ready to order they take everything down and ask if you're eating in or take out. If eating in they will call your name once ready and have your items on a tray and the food items in the black plastic take out containers, disposable chopsticks, spoons and low quality napkins. If you want free drinks it's self serve hot boiling water at the back. Once finished you MUST dispose of everything into the garbage can. Failure to do this will result in the shop keeper announcing loudly for the whole of the restaurant to hear that you failed to dispose of your garbage. For the classic wonton noodle for $12 they give you 6 large shrimp wontons mixed with shrimp paste, with wonton noodles and a few green onion scallions. I didn't like how this has changed to such a fast food restaurant and they keep posting those Michelin Star restaurant from their Hong Kong restaurant that achieved the star. I'm not returning to this restaurant and will visit Wonton Hut which is about 10 minute drive east over by Warden Ave and Highway 7 East.

    After COVID, we recently came back when we had a crave for wonton. When we first walked in, we realized the set up was a little different- you order at the front and once it's ready, you would pick up your tray of goodies back to your chosen seat, similar to a food court style rather than the dine-in experience they used to be. Secondly, all items on their menu were $12 (tax included)!! They accept all payment methods which was very convenient as they used to be only cash or debit. Their wonton was still the same- baby fist size, packed with whole shrimp!

The macaroni soup was just okay, very much the kind of simple comfort food that fills you up, but nothing especially memorable. I was most excited for the signature beef sandwich, but it didn't fully meet my expectations. The burger/sandwich itself was smaller than I imagined, and it only had about 2-3 pieces of beef brisket inside with marinated bell peppers and their homemade sauce. The sauce leaned sweeter than expected, which might work for some people, but personally I was hoping for something more savoury and more generous with the beef. However, the brisket was tender, which was a win... ish. Overall, still a decent spot if you're craving classic HK cafe vibes and variety, especially for a casual meal with family.

We even had leftovers to take home. Great value for the quality and portion size. Definitely a spot I would come back to for authentic Chinese comfort food.

    This one is a family staple, good value for eating in or take out! Food comes fast and service is…read morepretty standard for a hk cafe. Finally came here for afternoon tea. Pork chop udon soup - Fried pork chop, with a fried egg and udon an amazing combo. Pork chop was made well, still a little crispy on the outside, well seasoned and just about cooked perfectly. Fried egg the same, a bit runny on the inside. A small amount of udon compared to the rice noodle soup below. Soup tasted a bit off, kinda like burnt onions... Braised beef wonton rice noodle soup - Beef was a more on the chewy side. Wontons were great and there was lots of rice noodles. Soup was tasty. French toast - The afternoon tea version has 2 slices of bread vs the regular 3 slices. This was a tall stack, not too eggy and not too crispy. A load of butter on top. Nice to try. Would come back to try other items on their menu.

    Went for the afternoon tea (2-5pm). Prices are on the higher end, but the portions are relatively…read morelarge. Got their wonton and beef brisket rice noodle (10), deep fried pork chop udon soup (7), and hk french toast w pb. The beef brisket flavour is really nice, but a tiny bit dry/chewy. There are only 2 shrimp wontons, but also tasty. So much noodles. The deep fried pork chop was soo good. My partner didn't like the flavour of the soup though. Less noodles in comparison to the beef brisket. I would get this next time. Both soup dishes came with veggies which is nice (and not the frozen veggies--peas, corn, green beans). We originally ordered the hk style toast from the afternoon tea menu, but they suggested ordering off the regular menu, since we had 3 complimentary drinks and only 2 people. It's $3 cheaper and has an extra slice of bread. I didn't appreciate the extra slice, until I saw that they put pb in between each slice. While that was appreciated, the pb didn't reach the edges (about an inch in). Came with a big piece of butter on top. Nothing exciting, but if I were craving it, I wouldn't stop myself from ordering it. We came on a Friday. It was pretty empty, we could choose our seat, but it's always busy on weekends for dinner. Service is quick as expected with little customers. Restaurant looks like an old Chinese restaurant, but has the staples.
