Limited options for breakfast but the food is really good ! The service was also fast like when you need someone they're quick to come. Unfortunately they messed my order up twice and then forgot to bring the soya drink out after we mentioned it 3 times. 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

Came here for lunch. Cozy kind of place. Its a nice HK cafe kind of place. Serves you tea. Free WiFi. Food is pretty good and portions are decent. Lots of room for large groups or just a couple of people. Perfect for a quick bite. Would definitely come back for food! read more

Braised beef noodle failed as they use instant udon noodles, hate the after taste. 2 stars. Also had sirloin steak spaghetti, steak is marinated Hk style so it doesn't quite taste like beef anymore, but ok it's tasty. 3.5 stars. Grouper spaghetti... It's ok. 3.5 stars. Milk tea is actually quite decent. read more

Went in on a weeknight as I was craving for some hk style food and was in the neighbourhood. The menu had a huge selection on items which was good but it was very hard for me to choose since I wanted to try everything. Tried the chef recommendation which was the shrimp fried rice for $13 and it was good. The portion was ginormous which i had to take home as the waitress told me this can feed for 3 people. Also ordered the chicken skewers and they were alright. I really enjoyed everything about it except that it closes early. Will be back for round 2! read more

If you don't want to line up for Phoenix, Kitchen M is your next option! I must say that they have a lot of variety of food in comparison to other HK style cafe. Their food is alright and their price is reasonable. The only thing that I would say don't order from there is their Ramen. I appreciate that they offer something different but Ramen is just not their thing. The soup base was weird and their noodles was not the typical Ramen. read more

Very disappoint with this place!!! My wife and I went there for afternoon tea with our service dog and they refuse to give us service cause we have a service dog. We were basically told to leave! I told the owner that they cannot refuse service to us in an establishment under the Toronto bylaw. They say they don't know anything about this service dog bylaws. I even show them the actual laws from the city of Toronto bylaws webpage and they still don't understand. Well, I guess they lose us as regular customers from now on. We will never go there again with that kind of ignorance! Too bad I can't give them a negative stars rating. read more

Food are bad and expensive along with terrible service. Curry chicken rice 11.99 and other place never go above 10. Drink are bad too. Not recommended read more

Kitchen M - Chinese Near Me - Unionville, Ontario

I've come here on many occasions. In true HK cafe style, the menu is ginormous - classic Taiwan dishes, ramen, build-your-own noodle soup and of course, the HK classics. I decided to order none of these on this occasion and order the poutine. Unexpectedly delicious! The fries are exactly what you think - huge and super crispy in true Chinese restaurant fried style. The gravy was lighter than your traditional beef gravy and a little less salty which was nice for the body. The hot gravy + hot fries meant that the cheese curds were perfectly squeaky and perfectly warm. The milk tea here is also pretty decent and really a must have. This place does get pretty busy so expect a moderate wait if you're coming on the weekend! read more

Decided to try this new place out. When we got there we were greeted by the staff. The restaurant is well lit and clean. When we were looking over the menu, the waitress was standing close by and often asked us if we were ready to order (wish she could have given us our space). I ordered the wonton soup and my wife ordered the steak with rice. Her steak came with soup, salad, bun and a drink. Her steak was big but there was a lot of fat. My wonton soup was good but I had better. They gave us tofu desert, but it was not that great. Will I go back? Probably not since I can get better quality HK food nearby. read more

Had brunch with a friend here. I ordered the baked beef brisket and spaghetti in Portuguese sauce. This is more or less my go to dish at these hk diner type places. I can't say it was the best one I've had but I can't say it was the worst. The meal comes with soup and a drink. I got the veggie soup and cold hk milk tea. The portions were pretty big. i forced myself to finish my meal and was absolutely stuffed. the pieces of beef brisket were huge, definitely not bite sized chunks. the Portuguese sauce also had potatoes and corn in it too. The spaghetti was cooked well. Because it is close by, and the options for hk diners within the 10 or so minute radius from where i live are so limited, I'd come back. read more

2.5 stars I got the Malay Chicken Curry - comes with potato salad, bun (good), vegetable soup (good), milk tea (ok) - curry was spicy but no hint of Malay flavor or coconut... - chicken was tender but personally I don't like previously deep-fried chicken ... - rice was super hard and dry Price is about $1 more than other HK style in the area.. read more

Don't expect anything too fancy it is a traditional HK cafe style located in an old plaza that has seen multiple restaurants that has gone through there. The newly renovated restaurant sure beats the old restaurants that used to be there. Ordered the pork chop, chicken steak with rice and tomato sauce combo so I can compare it to the also "cheap" HK cafe a few blocks north on McCowan. Overall impression is not bad. The vegetable soup had real ingredients (lots of veggies), the tomato sauce has real tomato not a suace made of ketchup so it actually taste proper. I would recommend going back again, compare to a lot of sub-par restaurants in the area. read more

A traditional HK cafe-style restaurant. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is quite relaxing. Lots of open space and comfortable seating. My family and I went at around 7 PM and there were plenty of tables open, so we were seated fairly quickly. The menu offers a variety of choices, from individual items to set meals for larger groups. They also have lunch and dinner specials for a good price. I was excited to see an all-day breakfast section (because come on, it's never the wrong time for sausage and eggs), but that quickly changed when I realized that there were only two items in that section. What a tease. We opted to order a bunch of dishes to share, so we got a beef curry with spaghetti (that interestingly came with a side of croutons, cheese, raisins and sunflower seeds), soft-shell crab fried rice and two noodle dishes. I was most excited for the fried rice, but it ended up being pretty bland and overall disappointing. The curry was tasty, but I didn't have too much as my spice tolerance is basically non-existent. The other noodle dishes were good, but nothing amazing. We ended off the meal with a dessert of green bean soup, which was quite tasty. The service itself wasn't the greatest. The restaurant wasn't packed by any means, but the waitresses didn't seem very attentive to our needs. We had to wait a while for anyone to come and clear some of the finished plates off our of table. Same goes for refilling our tea. Overall, nothing too special. read more

Meh, typical Chinese fast food resto, with sub par quality in food. Service is on point though. Seats are not comfortable, though nice decor. Chinese rice roll : way too thick read more

Very large and food, staff are very good. It all depends on what you order and what you like in order to have a delicious time here. I personally like the new mixed grill hot pot, it comes sizzling hot while they pour the sauce on! Very filling for a good price. Great for large family dinners especially with children. A large comfortable place, definitely started off rocky but it's steady and will reach new heights in the future! Will come again :) read more

Think this restaurant must be affiliated with Ming's Noodle at Kennedy and Passmore. Menu is same but here they have more options such as Peking duck, bbq pork, japanese ramen and bamboo basket steamed rice. Variety is good and decor is more spacious and modern than Mings. However, dishes are about $1 or $2 more than Ming's. And service not as good. Food came fast but waitresses not as friendly. One plus is we got sweet taro tapioca for dessert. Nicer of all the HK diners in the area but will likely stick to Congee Queen or Oriental Gourmet next door. read more

It is all about market positioning. In my opinion, when a restaurateur aims at a certain market, whether the restaurant is good depends on whether it delivers delicious food in a hygienic environment, and fulfils the expectation/norm of that market. If it exceeds expectation, great, but IMO, "good" only requires meeting expectation. Maybe my expectation of a HK cafe is not particularly demanding. Maybe I have missed the poorly reviewed period of the grand opening. During the first visit recently (in 2016), I find Kitchen M meeting expectation of a HK cafe.. The food is flavourful, the portion is satisfying, the pricing is on par with market, the value is sufficient, the ambiance is pleasant, the staff is efficient. Kitchen M is great for lunch and a value dinner. The food isn't so good that it could demand high prices, and Kitchen M doesn't charges high prices. Here you go: it is A-OK. read more

Warning I got really bad diarrhea here. I believe it was the ice, as I was the only in my family that consumed the cold lemon tea.

Okay, I take back everything I said in my last review. I came here last week for a quick lunch during my break at work (1 hour) and I wanted to get in and out. The place was probably 1/4 filled on a Saturday afternoon and my boyfriend and I were seated quickly. I ordered a baked cream ham and chicken rice and a ham & egg sandwich (toasted). The one thing was absolute negative service. I'm okay with the "Asian" service i.e. efficient, quick, no effort at communication besides taking your order - that I have 0 problem with. But if I'm getting attitude while ordering for no reason then I am 100% unhappy to be there. While ordering the lady had 0 idea of what I wanted from the menu while I even pointed at the menu and I do speak fluent Cantonese. When I told her I wanted my bread toasted for the sandwich she literally looked at me like I was insulting her and told me it would cost extra. WHY DOES IT COST EXTRA TO TOAST BREAD??? I said it was fine and I'd pay. The sandwich came with the bread untoasted & this waitress literally dropped it off and cross-countried to the other side of the resto. She avoided my table for the rest of my meal. The baked rice was 100% tasteless. They deprived the entire dish of salt. They took half an hour to bring everything out. I am so completely unhappy with their service, the time it took to cook, and their food. read more

Would give this place 0 stars if that were possible. Food sucks, service sucks, the atmosphere as soon as you walk in sucks. Everything sucks about this place. Hopefully it closes down, it's literally an eyesore because I'm reminded of the incredibly terrible one-time service I visited. I'd advise everyone to stay away unless you fancy crap service and food. read more

This is my third time going there and will be my last time. We have 3 people and I don't know why they only give us one pair of chopsticks. OK,fine I ask 2 pair of chopsticks. I have no idea what did the waitress said when she is turning her back..Fine. We order 3 dishes and ask the waitress how is the taste of one of the dish like.she explain to us and said the dish is popular. We order it but she want the code number of the dishes. OK I told her the no. When one of the dish come,I said this is not the one I order. She said you give me the wrong number. I said you tell me the dish is good ,how could you get it wrong. Her attitude is so bad and shout out that is my fault right in front of other customer. I am really mad and OK,now I decided not going there anymore. I think this restaurant won't last long. read more

This is the ever-changing restaurant as I would call it. It seems as though every single restaurant that takes up this space fails to last. This space once was some sort of western style restaurant, then it turned into a AYCE sushi place, eventually into an a la cart sushi restaurant and now finally a HK Style Cafe. It's almost like this space is cursed. Anyhow with the history lesson aside let's begin! My disclaimer is that I never had great expectations prior to going in and you shouldn't either. The very idea of HK Syle Cafe equates to affordable and decent tasting food that is served fast. And with that I believe this place delivers. I won't say the food is mind blowing in any way but it does the job. Some dishes are strong (like stir fried noodles and rice) while others are a bit weak (baked rice, soup noodles..etc) but what this place does have is variety. The menu is vast and very creative with enough variety to satisfy anyone. Another plus is the affordability; you get enormous portions for Scarborough prices. As if that's not enough of an incentive, they offer all guests a free dessert at the end of your meal. The desserts they serve are not the rejects either (unlike most places where they serve those red bean/green bean porridge crap that noone touches). The service is attentive and pleasant the last few times I have been there. No complaints. I just hope this one is here to stay and break the string of bad luck this space has endured. If you're hungry and need your HK Cafe fix, stop by. read more

I don't think there is anything to write about and I need not bother since most of the reviews here do it justice. Cobbled-together restaurant that I can only describe as a cross between New City Restaurant, Congee Queen, and Firefly Seafood. New City feel = lack of service, all-day option menus with drinks, same tea service cup and saucer Congee Queen feel = lack of service, trying to mash together congee menu, noodles menu, fried rice menu, snacks menu along with New City and Firefly Seafood menu Firefly Seafood feel = lack of service, overpriced, battered shrimp on menu, spaghetti options on top of traditional rice/noodle/breakfast options, getting annoyed at customer. Shameful characteristics that just never go away: sticky tables (even sticky sugar spouts!), dirty bathroom, dry food stuck on cutlery, zero service, customer berating* Customer berating - you don't have to bark at me twice that if I pay by card I need to go to the counter. I heard you the first time. Use some Sherlocking skills please: If I acknowledged your directions the first bark, but I am still sitting at the table, and you see that across me there is another set of keys and a mobile phone, that should probably help you deduct that I am actually waiting for my dining partner to return to the table from the restrooms before I abandon the table to go pay the tab. Customer service advice: DO NOT TRY TO GRAB MY CREDIT CARD OUT OF MY HAND. HAND ME THE CARD SERVICE TERMINAL AND TELL ME TO TAP OR INSERT CARD. If tapping card doesn't have Tip settings set up, DO NOT GET FRUSTRATED AT ME AND TELL ME THAT YOU CAN'T RECEIVE A TIP BECAUSE I DIDN'T INSERT CARD for the tip option. And then you have the guts to ask me if I have cash. Because you know what I will do right? I will gladly offer you my credit card again and tell you to charge me on tip 20%. But it ain't my fault you were too gutless to follow-through and agree with my suggestion and only say to me "next time, bring cash". ...Because you know, of course, there will be a next time right? I think the "M" in Kitchen M. might stand for minus, minimal, missing, marred, miserly, menial, I can go on...... read more

First impression was confusing with the number of menus we have to read before ordering. Once we passed the first hurdle, everything we ordered was tasty. The staff are all very friendly, they gave you decent food for relatively good price. All our meals came with soup and a small dessert. We have gone back to Kitchen M 3 times for quick meals and all have been good. Our favorite is the chicken steak with spaghetti with garlic sauce. read more

This place is utterly disturbing. The fact that I paid almost $7 for the beef curry with pancake (roti) and received one piece of beef (in a bowl smaller than my cup) and a small piece of "pancake" is almost insulting. Impossible to see why I paid that that much for something so little. read more

Ordered the congee with fish balls, beef fried rice, chow mein and a chicken ramen. First thing we noticed is that the chow mein was the smallest we've ever seen. Quantity wise it wasn't good. The best dish was probably the beef fried rice but quite honestly, Congee Queen or Congee Wong is much better. The service wasn't there as we had to get our own cutlery from the front. The bill came up to about $37. Food wasn't that good either. The only good thing is that it's not as crowded as Congee Wing and Congee Queen. We were still hungry. The existing reviews for this place is accurate. 1.5 stars out of 5 I think read more

I would give this ZERO star if I could. Over priced food items. Inconsistent quality on food. One dish was flavourless while the other was too salty. Service was the worst. They give you dirty looks when you ask for a table. They give you 'tsk' snickers when you order your food because you almost couldn't decide between your family on what to get. Sounds like their staff are very impatient. Worst of all is they are friendly to regulars. Really? The food for a restaurant is only a small portion - don't forget about service and ambiance/environment! read more

Usually I do not expect much service from a "HK Style" tea house but this one is exceptionally bad, to a point I felt irritated. Food was just ok. The only thing worth mentioning is a cleaner than normal bathroom. Many good choices close by that I will definitely by-pass this one. read more

Could not help but write this report, Kitchen M yesterday to eat, because too many people, resulting in poor attitude of staff, has been to Kitchen M before breakfast, to be honest, breakfast is very poor service attitude of poor, food ,, general attitude is extremely poor when a restaurant can think how to survive, just like yesterday, the same people who greeted us for breakfast, attitude is extremely poor, I would like to ask a boss, I went to dinner Kitchen M is not eat gas, do not understand that the face has a grain ink service personnel can also do so, the service is extremely poor, how can we do it anymore. Should be relieved of his duties read more

4 stars Your typical quick fix for fast chinese diner/cafe style foods. We had the sweet and sour pork, mushroom beef slices, BBQ pork vermicelli soup, fried pork chop, and veggie dish. The food was good. All around decent flavor and the soup noodle broth was delish! The free starter soup is super yummy (was told no MSG) and free dessert in the end was a nice touch. The soya bean dessert was no good, but the mango pudding was good. The servers were really friendly. Child-friendly atmosphere. read more

Their sweet and sour pork was very succulent and tasty. Probably the most delicious sweet and sour pork I've ever tasted. Once I've tasted this dish I never bother ordering it from other places. The dishes I've ever ordered from the restaurant always come in a large portion. Tasted pretty good too. Except for one time when I ordered stir fried vegetables with mushroom it was lacking in flavour as it was too watery, as if the sauce was watered down. But nonetheless I'd go back again to try the other dishes. read more

With three families and 10 people, the give us four small tables put together into a square gathering. After our orders, everything (soup, salad, bread, drinks, dinners) come out at the same time. There is no where to put the food and we are forced to swallow down whatever is on the table very quickly. The curry beef has no taste. It is just mixing water, cheap curry powder and pepper together. As watery as some traditional Chinese soup, I stop eating after the first bite. The mixed meat iron plate for $16 has a piece of chicken, pork chop, beef, hot dog and bacon. With the extra salty sauce, and the greasy meat with no vegetable, it is not a good diet for those who want to watch what they are eating. My blood pressure jumps 10 points after dinner. My son's dinner has a big plate of rice with very few pieces of fish and some Chinese vegetable. It lacks proper seasoning to make it a decent dish. If you want a big plate of rice with a lot of sauce and salt and small bit of meat/ vegetable, Kitchen M is a great place. Without doubt, the meal will fill you up. Otherwise, there are other HK style restaurants in Markham that charge about the same price with much better taste. read more
