Been here many times since I live and work close by. Not the best canteen food I've had but it is still pretty good. The best is their chili oil, I put that on EVERYTHING! The service staff is usually pretty nice and attentive. Overall very convenient for a quick lunch! read more

All day breakfast is not all day. Don't be fooled. They are the same company as Ming Lee Jodie house on Scarborough, but this one has slightly higher price tag for the same dishes. Portions are also tad bit smaller than the one in Scarborough. Chinese fast-food style level of cleanliness. read more

The food is always spectacular, don't get me wrong. I love the flavour of all their foods. The best ones is their make your own noodle bowl, and their steamed rice. Their breakfast options are okay - wish the toast would be crispier. The service is better this time, at least our waitress did not get our drinks or our food orders wrong. Gneerally some of their staff needs to improve on their attitudes towards their customers. I get that it's a SUnday afternoon and you are busy, but there is no need to roll your eyes at your customers, especially when we as a large group already agreed to splitting up in order for her to seat us easier (yes i'm talking about the hostess). Anyway love the food, but they really need to work on their service... one of the rare occasions where i had to consider cutting my tip or no tip. read more

Kitchen M - Their steamed rice with shrimp. This is SO GOOD. - Chinese Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

This place has the best breakfast special I come here every weekend morning that I can!! It runs from 9-11am on Fridays to Sundays (9:30-11:30 Mon-Thurs) and you can match 2 items on their breakfast combo menu + drink for $5.95. The portions are a great size and you leave feeling full! The service is super fast. We ordered and received our meals in 10 mins. I got the two eggs and sausage with butter toast with the ham macaroni and everything was delicious. A very clean breakfast since nothing was too oily or fried and still super flavourful. We arrived pretty early at 9:30 so there was no wait at all but I've been here before around 10:30 and it could get crowded from all the people trying to make that 11am breakfast special cut-off. What's a plus as well is that they give complementary Chinese newspapers that you can take with you for someone who reads them (if you don't yourself). read more

We came in for early lunch, seem they were packed for breakfast since there were alot of tables waiting for clean up. Anyways, they sit us down and we ordered. They have few menus put on the tables but somehow they are duplicate menu that printed n looks different but the content are the same. The price seems above average however after seeing the food and they comes in a good potions so thats ok. The food came pretty quick and it taste right. read more

Came here because Congee Queen was packed with a 25min wait. Forget about that !! In this day and age, there are other restaurants around that are just as good, especially if you are hungry. This is one of them! Sunday night around 6pm, table for 7. Walked right in and got a table right away. I knew what i was going to order from looking at the menu last time i was here. (Soft shell crab fried rice). MMmmmm, was not disappointed. The place was not extremely busy, but busy enough. The staff was much friendlier this time around. Push the button, and they came right away! Quantity of food was good!! Had to take food home. Still hard to pick dishes, you have to come here a few times and just order your fav dishes !! 4 stars for this experience!! read more

The food was cheap but the bbq pork ww/ honey on rice was less than average. Small meat portion And huge rice portion, the bbq pork was okay. The other orders like crab fried rice and steak gave very hefty portions though. The food isnt bad for the price, too many options on the menu - It was very similar to phoenix restaurant and i rather go to phoenix. The only reason im giving this restaurant a 2 star was due to poor service. Missed orders and wrong orders. Also when i was paying by machine - i wasn't prompted to give tip, it brought me straight to the tap/swipe/insert to pay so I paid. And the server lectured and yelled at me about not paying tip and how i need to pay tip and stuff in front of a table of 9 people. I later paid her in coins which i was planning to do already. Very unprofessional. read more

One of my favorite places to go on the weekend! Ever feeling like breakfast after you slept in? Worry not! They have all day specials (that runs literally all day, not like some other places that swap the menu during dinner hours). For 7.45 plus tax, you can get a pretty hearty meal with egg sandwich/omlette with toast, along with a noodle dish which my favorite is satay beef with macaroni, and a drink! (Like most places, cold drinks are extra, but I do really like their hot milk tea!!) read more

Food is okay, but really not special or made specially well. Ive had breakfast, lunch and dinner here before and it's like they don't put much care into the way dishes. And to add basic things is always some ridiculous extra charge. Hot chocolate, coffee, etc is regular but Ovaltine which is the same is 1.00 more. You get a french toast with peanut butter and condensed milk and they just drizzle enough for two bites. Honestly, what are you trying to save on? Wouldn't recommend this place and wouldn't really want to return. read more

Typical HK style cafe right across Markville. This place has a huuuge menu. Food is ok la in my opinion. Ordered the curry with pancake which needs more pancake lol and the black pepper beef noodles which had a huge portion!! The short haired lady with the bob is pretty rude. When she took back our menus she just threw them onto the table beside us loooool. But the other one is pretty nice so she makes up for it. They didnt have wifi when I came in even though they advertised free wifi outside their door... Boo! read more

This place is my go to place for quick breakfast before work. Everyone want something quick and cheap! This is a plus, everything you think of Hong Kong style breakfast, this is the place. They offer many combinations for different dish, toast, noodle, pho and many more! Fair price and pair with milk tea is the perfect breakfast for the morning! They offer many different variety of dishes for every meal. Excellent customer service and helpful when ordering! Love coming here for those cheap eat, which is a plus for everyone! read more

Thought I'd give this cha cheng tang a try for dinner. It's pretty big place no wait time when we went. service was great they have those devices a at the table to call waiter was very effective maybe because the place wasn't busy. We had the garlic steam prawn in steamer and mince pork with vegetable rice. Comes with daily soup a drink and dessert so value is there. Portions where good taste was okay typical quality servers were very polite and nice more nice than typical I would say so that aspect was nice. read more

The menu have a wide selection. Tonight I have a bit of a headache so I ordered the congee with century egg and fish. It was ok; nothing to write home about and the other parties on the table ordered lobster rice and greens with fish. The lobsters were the small ones and the fish were fillet, at least no bones. For dessert, tonight was a small bowl of tofu pudding. Overall, this is always a decent place with reasonable price for a quick Chinese meal. read more

Great place to get quick and delicious Chinese food. They have a wide variety on their menu. I've been here many times and have tried their breakfast, lunch and dinner items without complaints. It's consistent all the time. Portions are huge and pretty flavourful. It's not too salty/filled with msg like some Chinese restaurants. read more

Summary: upscale looking place off McCowan and Highway 7 provides traditional HK style meals for a higher price point than surrounding areas. Decent quality, alright service, but PeachTree Plaza is just up the road with a ton more options... It's a busy place. We had to wait to be seated even for a weekday lunch, although it wasn't a long wait. Prices are a little higher than usual, but they've got all the goods that a typical Hong Kong style cafe offers. Portion sizes are adequate; other reviews say otherwise, but I personally found the Portuguese chicken average sized and average quality at best. Soup was a little on the cool side. read more

Not a bad place to get some food but it gets confusing when there's like ten different menus they give you that you're not too sure what to order. Prices are reasonable and enjoyed the education noodle with mushroom. read more

Located in an old plaza across from Markville Mall, Kitchen M takes this notoriously oft-changing restaurant spot. I don't know whether it's the fact that this location doesn't get a lot of traffic because it's rather disconnected from anything else you might want to drop by for (the only other storefronts in this plaza are basically a Baskin Robbins & a private driving school) or because this place is somehow just cursed, but restaurants don't seem to stay in this spot for any longer than a year or two. Kitchen M serves a mishmash of dim sum, Cantonese a la carte dishes, and some HK-style cafe items. The food's OK. Some of the dim sum dishes are quite large, so you get some bang for your buck. The one standout item for me would be the deep fried milk egg custard buns. Otherwise, in perfect honesty I feel that everything else is take it or leave it. Will Kitchen M succumb to the 1-2 year curse? read more

Kitchen M - Deep fried milk egg custard buns - Chinese Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

Been here plenty of times. It's a combination of a Hong Kong cafe and an actual Chinese restaurant with full course meals. Food and service are decent, most things are average. This place is more of a last minute or quick eats type of place. I usually come for their tea time, and occasionally dinner specials. They also have combos with their dishes, so meals come with a soup and a drink. read more

Ordered BBQ pork with rice, half of the meat were full of tendon that I can't even eat it. When I told the Waitress, she said Cantonese people like BBQ pork with tendon (I spoke Mandarin to her). In my head I was thinking what are you talking about, but I didn't argue with her and just decided not to come back. read more

Only been here once for breakfast. The place had 4 customers besides me and my hubby. I ordered a chinese breakfast, consisting of daily congee and a choice of dim sum. I got the pan fried turnip cake. The congee was peas and sliced fish. It was ok, bit bland and watery. My husband got a bowl of soup rice vermicelli and an egg sandwich. He said his food was ok. The prices are cheap here and food is ok, not great, but you really can't expect much for the price you pay. They offer lots of dim sum choices too but why get frozen dim sum from here, when you can buy some from T & T and steam it yourself. Ok for a quick bite to eat, if you can read chinese, you can get a free newspaper too. Er, no I haven't been back since. read more

Kitchen M 名廚坊 is located in Markham, near the intersection between Highway 7 & McCowan Road. It's a HK Style Cafe, which means it serves a large variety of asian food, from breakfast to "Har Ng Chai" to soup noodles to congee, etc. It's definitely jam packed from morning to evening since it serves so many asian items throughout the day. In particular, I like it's lunch and brunch menu, especially afternoon tea (Har Ng Chai), which serves from 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. These special "Har Ng Chai" items include a hot beverage during this particular time period. This place is modern, clean and is spacious for a HK Style Cafe standards, that's because its predecessor was once being used as Japanese all-you-can-eat (AYCE) but now converted as Kitchen M. I would say the staff are quite attentive and most speak good/decent English that could serve you and recommend you with good food suggestions. Almost every table has the "Korean Style" ringer, which you can press a button for service or press the button for the bill. The ringer is super helpful especially Kitchen M is such a spacious place that sometimes finding a staff around maybe an issue. I like the morning combo that serves toast, sausage omelette, ham strips on soup macaroni, plus a hot beverage, all for $5.95 before tax. That's a great deal! Mind you, the soup macaroni is in good portion as well. Personally, I really like its pepper beef sirloin stir fry spaghetti. Good "wok air", with hot temperature when it arrives to your table. Peppercorn beef sirloin strips are nicely marinated, you can really smell and taste the peppercorn in the beef. I also love the onions, peppers and beansprout. This is a MUST order. If you can't eat beef, you can ask for pork chop meat instead. Same great taste, but clearly, I do prefer the peppercorn beef sirloin. Another great food item at Kitchen M is the "Chu Chow" creamy soup rice noodles that come with fish balls, fish sticks and crispy fish skins. Complete package, super tasty. Coupled with its signture chilli oil? Perfecto! Next time you are around the Markham area, be sure to visit Kitchen M. It's a perfect spot after shopping at the Markville Mall across the road or grocery shopping at Foody Mart across the intersection.

We go there quite a bit prior to the pandemic. But now we don't, only accept cash since the pandemic and no discount. Not even debit card, wonder why. today after photography at Frenchman's Bay we went there around 4:30 for tea and toast. Service is terrible, I asked how come the condensed milk looks orange instead of creamy. The waitress rudely said its normal colour and said whether I want her to bring the condense milk to the table. Won't go back again, 1 more restaurant down the drain. I almost want to tell her I can bring at least 2-3 brands of condense milk to the restaurant and they won't look like that on the toast. read more

If you're in the Markham area, chances are you've accompanied your parents to HK style cafes your whole life. If you haven't, let me tell about the french toast I consumed on my last visit. For $4.95, imagine a melted layer of peanut butter-y goodness sandwiched between two slices of crustless, brick toast. This combination is then dipped in egg and DEEP FRIED to a crispy golden brown. On top sits a pool of thick condensed milk. Salivating yet? This decadent snack is not for the faint of heart (or for those at risk for diabetes). Other food I've had here has been okay. The portions are quite generous and the breakfast/lunch/afternoon tea specials come with coffee/tea/soy milk. Lots of seating, and like many HK cafes, you have to wave down the staff if you need anything. The only thing that was super gross was the tape of dead bugs hanging above our table. Also, the wifi isn't very reliable. But there's lots of choice and something for everyone. Great for groups :) read more

I came here with my family as they had advertised in the Chinese newspaper for some set Peking duck meals that includes soup and dessert. We wanted to try it out for lunch and had called ahead to make sure we're able to get that meal for lunch. They took a reservation for us and confirmed that we are able to do as we wish. We came here for lunch on a Saturday of Chinese New Year and the restaurant was about 2/3 full, but they had ample staff there, I'm not sure if this is a normal thing or they had anticipated that it would be super busy. We wanted to add a few more dishes and had asked for a server's suggestion, she suggested the best bang for our buck and ones that would be more suitable for my grandfather. We got a steamed lotus leaf fried rice with shrimp and I really enjoyed that one. The Hong Kong style milk tea was also great. The Peking duck was ok, it wasn't as crispy as I have had it from other places. We were also served a whole fish, a soup, a seafood vegetable dish and noodle soup and they were also acceptable. At the end of our meal, we were waiting for our desserts, but we were told they only have dessert at dinner, but we had called about this meal and they said they're able to serve it at lunch and no where in the advertisement did it say dinner only. We were given some sort of kids' mango yoghurt dessert as a replacement, better than nothing I guess. I am however, a bit confused as to what kind of restaurant to classify this, because my family had a 5-course Peking duck meal, something you usually get from a Chinese restaurant, but most of the menu, and the decor suggests a Hong Kong style cafe. Confusion aside, there's an array of items on the menu that will probably take you long to decide. Variety is the spice of life and if you're with a group of people who can't decide on one kind of food to eat, this would be great place to take them. read more

In Markham, a HK style diner is almost within 10 min from any place, so how does this place stand out? If the fact that it's owned by the guy who owns Ming's (another popular HK cafe south of Pacific mall) doesn't peak your interest, then maybe the thousands of dollars of expensive iron man figures will? No? Well let's talk about the food: it's typical hk style level. I tried two breakfast specials for the sake of this review - luncheon meat instant noodles and corn beef egg sandwich with oatmeal. Both are average in taste and portions. But for $6 each what do you expect? Fast, efficient, service with economical typical dishes. If you're in the mood for cheap hk diner food, check it out, your wallet will thank you. read more

A perfectly acceptable HK style cafe. The service is quite good to be honest, and the restaurant itself is fairly spacious (unlike Phoenix and others). Their milk tea is tasty and the food is above average. Nothing that will knock your socks off but that's hard to find at establishments like these. I've had a few things from their menu, and today I tried to Korean style pork chop cutlet with rice. The pork chop was fried really well, a nice light batter and not oily at all. I really enjoyed it. Came with a soup and tea. The pricing is on par with other HK style cafes, but you also get a free newspaper if you're into that. Lots of competition in the area, so I expect them to remain competitive and provide decent service. read more

Oh Kitchen M... Food wise this place is mediocre and there is Phoenix just up a bit farther on McCowan. I've been here twice now and both times, the service we received is pretty bad. It seems almost all the staff are grumpy or have some sort of attitude. I will say though, that there is one server who is sassy but entertaining because of how blunt she is. The restaurant itself is decently furnished. As a fan of Hot Toys, the owner here has a decent display of various Iron Man figures. Go at your own risk! read more

This is a typical Hong Kong style cafe, but the price is a little too high for this type of food. A typical lunch would be around $11 plus tax. The decor was your typical modern design with a slightly dark grayish floor with light colour table and slightly darker chair. The lighting is soft and not too bright. They have way too many items on their menu. It took me a while to go thru all the items. I decided to have to steam rice with shrimp wrapped in lotus leaf. It was 15-20 minutes wait, and i waited a bit longer than all my friends at the table. The meal offers either Chinese soup or English soup. lol! I prefer the Chinese one since it is usually a soup lighter in a style of light consomme. I had the typical milk tea as the after meal beverage. The rice was really fresh and tasty. It has the rich shrimp aroma throughout the rice and slightly floral smell from the lotus leaf. It was definitely good. Service was not bad since one of my friends is a regular here. Although a little pricey for this style of food, but it was worthy. read more

This location has probably been the most unsuccessful locations for any restaurants. It has change so many times I probably haven't been to half of what it were. But now that it's a HK style cafe, and seems to have quite the business, I thought I would give it a try. To be honest it is pretty average for a HK style cafe. Very typical food offered but they do have things that are really random. They offer the typical HK style breakfasts like macaroni, toast, instant noodles, etc. They also have congee and rice dishes, even poutine! (Some of the cheese curds were kinda rubbery but it's not bad) Price-wise it was decent, nothing out of the ordinary pricing for these kinds of food. They have a lot of space and a lot of staff so there always a seat and quick service. There is also free newspaper for customers to take home! read more

This place has everything; sandwiches, baked rice, noodle, congee, dim sum... you named it, they have it ........... Was it good?! Nope........ I came here twice. I had a beef brisket noodle the first time. The beef was not tender, the soup was bland and not hot. Came here again for a late lunch and had a pork cutlet with fries. They served me the thinnest, driest and toughest pork cutlet. I don't think even a Shun knife would have that cutability to cut it into pieces. Would we go to a restaurant that serves everything but don't have anything good? read more

Only several fish paste balls and few drops of hot oil. l can make it better at home seriously. My partner ordered all day breakfast which comes with satay beef noodles (egg noodle). you can pick up all noodles with chopsticks i one shot and that's it. l don't mind they up the price but l feel cheated with what we got. Lady server is very nice but sorry l wouldn't go again. Pine House at Middlefield is way better. read more

Kitchen M is a huge unit and there's never any wait time no matter when you come, though the restaurant itself is lively enough and has plenty of customers. There's a cool shelf towards the right side of the restaurant in the back with a lot of superhero figurines. The menu is big for a HK style afternoon tea cafe. Unfortunately, the food is a hit or miss here. I've had lunch items which were decent, and some other fried rice which was terrible. Their lunch items come with a soup (asian style or borscht) and a drink with the usual +$ for cold drinks. There is a button to push for service but it's better to just wave the waitresses down Portions are very standard and even a tad bit larger than Congee Queen, but I would say the quality does not match Congee Queen or Golden Pheonix up the street. read more
