I order 3 dishes using QR code. 1 is steam rice with shrimp and other is roast pork and steam chicken. These 2 come in good timing. The 3rd one is sweet and sour stir fried pork. Over 40 mins the dish did not show up. Ok, I know this special day is busy and my dad and I were not hungry anymore. We cancelled this dish and ask for bill. I intentionally pay extra tip that did not need the server to give me change in cash. I left after paying . By the time I was at the door, the server asked me to come back and said She has to check what I paid. First time being caught back and also WITHOUT APOLOGIZED from the server. This is a family restaurant and casual setting. Parking is full and busy.

We've been eating at the Dumpling King since their Midland/Finch location days and I must say, this…read morenewer location in Markham is a welcome change. The food here always been phenomenal and now they have a dining room that is way more comfortable for family style meals. We've tried about half of their menu and there has not been a single item (which is saying a lot) that we did not enjoy. We were there to celebrate a 85th birthday and birthday-man (?) enjoyed all of his favorites! We especially loved the braised pork hock in brown sauce and stir-friend lamb with ginger and scallion. The dumplings (XLB and other steamed kind), sour cabbage soup, fried rice, sweet and sour pork, crispy eggplant dish, stir-fried bok choy, smashed cucumber salad...etc were all very good. Everyone was stuffed and we had plenty of leftovers to bring home. The bill for this very satisfying meal came to $245 for 9 people, which is fantastic value! To compare, when our family of 3 (2 adults and 1 pre-teen who barely eats) eat out at Ding Tai Fung (Scarborough location), our bill easily comes to $120. We'll return to the King for many more delicious Northern Chinese fare at a very reasonable cost!

Dumplings King is easily the best option in the neighborhood when you're craving authentic Northern…read moreChinese dumplings. Steamed, boiled, or pan‑fried, everything is made fresh to order with a great variety of fillings. The steamed dumplings are the standout--juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a dumpling‑focused spot. They do offer other dishes, but most of them feel just okay. Honestly, I'd rather save the stomach space for more dumplings. The Xiao Long Bao was only so‑so for me; the wrapper was on the thicker, chewier side, which took away from the experience. There are also some great-value specials--like the $2.99 braised pork neck bone, which was surprisingly tasty. Note: they accept cash or debit only. The interior is spacious, and service is fast and friendly, making it an easy and satisfying stop when the dumpling craving hits.

I would say its convenient if your in the mall and craving some Chinese food, but in Markham (that contains so many other GOOOOOD Chinese restaurants options), i would rather travel to other resos for food I feel like their menu is a bit more fusion of Chinese + Western flavors (AKA - the pic of the fish fillet is a sign) NOT BAD, but like i said, with so many options in the area, i would rather eat others

A Markham staple for dim sum!…read more I think they've improved since when they first opened and it's now become a favourite spot of mine to have dim sum! Their bbq meats are by far the best thing and they do it well. There's also a take out counter for their bbq meats that is attached to the mall side. The restaurant is large and seating is comfortable. Some of my favourite dim sum dishes: - Red beet rice rolls with fried shrimp - BBQ pork - Chicken feet - Mango pudding - Pork spareribs - Pork soup dumplings Overall, lots of delicious eats here and I find myself coming back here time and time again.

First visit here. This place has been on my 'to try' list…read more On entry, we were quickly attended to. Luckily we were early so got seated right away. A little later, there was a little wait. Service: Friendly but not very attentive. We had some of our 'test' dishes, the ones we use to compare. Mapo Tofu. 2/5. The tofu was fresh. The pork was very sparse and it was over thickened. It was almost jelly. Let's just say, it was like when you have a cold. Beef rice noodle with black bean sauce. 4/5. This dish had a good 'wok hei' flavour. This dish was also over thickened. The prices are reasonable especially for these days. If they can ease up on the corn starch/thickener, it could be much better. I will give this place another try.

The braised beef noodle was okay. If I finished the whole bowl myself, I'd be too full for skewers. The lamb (must order), chicken knuckles, and fish skewers were all tasty. The braised eggplant was alright but I probably wouldn't get it again. Service was kinda hit or miss. Staff is trying, but things get a bit chaotic when it gets busy. Overall, good experience. I'll be back

Service here was amazing, all the servers were busy but attentive. Made sure to make a reso in advance and glad that we did, because the restaurant was packed and there was a wait. Was bummed that they sold out of their sweet and sour pork, as it sounded so delicious. But here are some of the other foods we got: Chicken knuckle meat 5/5 - Don't get intimidated with all the red peppers. It's not that spicy but very delicious with the crunch and taste. Crispy eggplant 5/5 - Delicious, sweet and crispy! Great for sharing. Tomato beef noodle soup 3.5/5 - Lacked a lot of depth and tomato flavour. Was just okay. Tofu skin wrapped chives skewer 4/5 Lamb ribs 3.5/5 Baos 4/5 Crispy potatoes 3.5/5 - A little too crisp. Kind of tasted like chips Short Ribs 3.5/5 Lamb skewers 10/5 - Absolutely loved these and order more as we ate. Grilled octopus 4/5 Cold noodles 4/5 - Delicious, refreshing and came with quite a large serving Every other table had their chicken pot stew boiling at their table and I can't wait to go back to try this specifically as well. Overall, a great addition to Markham!

New City Restaurant is one of those long-standing spots in the plaza that people keep coming back…read moreto. Although there is a lot of parking in this plaza, there are times when there is hardly any available spots. Service is quick and efficient every time I've gone. The menu is HK-style café with a wide range of options, so there's something for everyone. I've tried quite a bit from their menu over time, and nothing has been disappointing. One thing I appreciate is that they don't over-season their food, especially with salt. Most of their meals come with drinks and a choice of soup and they have CREAM SOUP! It's much rarer to find a place that still offers it nowadays. Drinks are also better than average compared to the surrounding hk styled cafes in this plaza. I'd come back because it's reliable and easy to enjoy, especially with a small group of people!

Recently, we saw some reels recommended that…read morethis restaurant offers a great deal, and the deal only offers from Monday to Thursday, and Wednesday is closed. Today was Tuesday, so we were good to go. The promo was $25 including 1 bowl of noodle, 1 bowl of clay pot rice with meat and 1 of snack dishes. We could choose them from the special menu. We chose the beef noodle soup, chicken & mushroom clay pot with soup, and the snack was the deep fried wonton. The wonton was great, so delicious and my little one loved it so much; the beef noodle soup was ok, but only a few pieces of beef and radish; the clay pot was the most I like, when I put the soy sauce in, the pot was boiling. That's so nice. That also caused the crackers at the bottom. That's really amazing. We also got a little bowl of the seaweed soup for the clay pot. So nice. This special deal was so good that enough for all of us. Next time, I would like to try other options.

The Lanzhou noodles had a great chewy texture and tasted super fresh. The claypot rice was warm, savory, and had that nice crispy bottom layer which made it extra satisfying. Portions are generous and the flavors feel very authentic and comforting -- like a home-cooked meal. It's a great budget-friendly option in Markham, especially if you're dining with a friend or partner. Definitely a hidden gem for cheap eats. Would recommend if you're craving noodles and claypot rice without spending too much!
