    M & Y Restaurant is a good option for Chinese takeout in Markham. We found that they served a combination of Hakka style and HK style food, very flavourful dishes and decent sized portions. Despite the change of ownership and renovation changes to the dining room, they still offer great tasting food at good prices. Deciding between getting the regular order or ordering from another menu, we decided to switch up the regular order of baked spaghetti bolognese and curry chicken with salt pepper squid and sweet & sour fish. We enjoyed the house soup and the change in choices. Hard to find parking here particularly if your group has anyone with mobility concerns. I would suggest ordering takeout and picking up your takeout food once it is packed and ready to bring home.

    Huge portions. Attentive table service. GREAT VALUE. You'll eat twice or three times from one order. Thanks Chris. Solid choice in Markham. Everything was DELICIOUS. The next time we'll go with one protein and one veg. Huge servings. A warm, inviting and welcoming place. Reminds me of those wonderful, smaller, family run/owned restaurants in HKG. The restrooms are down a fairly steep staircase. Not wheelchair accessible for anyone with mobility issues.

    Needed a quick lunch and remembered seeing some reviews on this restaurant so decided to give it a try since I was in the area. The decor is tired. This the basic restaurant with no frills. I ordered the Rice Noodle with Beef and Black bean. While it was okay, there wasn't any black bean taste. You also receive an individual soup. This was ok. Service wasn't very friendly. Serving size and prices are reasonable.

    Half an order when its part of 2 dish menu. Ridiculously tough and dry!

    I will not even give a star rating. Try out their take oit and when I got home, its just half an order! And its dry and overcooked.

    Like Congee Wong but in a greasy spoon kinda way! Gave this place a try due to my Yelp friends positive reviews and they were right, good food, portions and prices. Take out suggested: I would stick to take out only, as it's small, crowded, noisy and has that needed to be deep cleaned look. The floor was greasy slippery on way in and don't even try to bring Stroller through here you'll get stuck. Very limited parking in this plaza. Food: Comparable menu and taste to Congee Wong/queen,but for less. Really like their Deep fried squid with spicy salt, it's just mild Spice at best. Prices for combo same or better than First Markham Place Food Court. Phoning in? it's loud here, as phone is near tv and beside kitchen, English is ok-limited but friendly and patient, just talk loud and slowly. Delivery- $6 extra with minimum $35 order Take out cash deal- 10% off orders over $35 Before tax Would come back to try the wall specials next time.

    Great local Chinese comfort food, with huge portions and small dollar signs. We ordered the sticky rice fried rice/ salted fish fried rice. Both fried rice were good and really filling, but the salted fish had a strong smell but also pockets of umami. Only concern is that I'm not sure why its called a Thai/Hakka restaurant as MY restaurant seems more like a typical canto restaurant.

    Okay, so my review may be a little bias because I liked going to Maydoh back in the day. There is just something about the Baked Bolognese & Cheese here that makes it better than other HK style cafes. I haven't been back to Maydoh in years and was not aware that they had sold it and this was the new restaurant they opened ( I was a little slow to the news). So, I definitely had expectations when going to MY Restaurant over the weekend. I used my GPS to get there but it was still kind of hard to find. There is limited parking in the front but additional parking at the back of the building and across the street at the Tim Horton's plaza. It may be a little bigger than Maydoh but it's still a small restaurant and was at full capacity after I sat down (we took the last free table and there was a line up after us). I think it's a family run restaurant and I even recognized the server from Laidoh at Splendid China Tower. Specials include your main course + soup + coffee or milk tea. We tried to order the NY Steak with Black Pepper Sauce but they were sold out of it from the night before. They also didn't have the cream soup. I'm sure this doesn't happen often... but you should always be fully stocked to serve your clients. With restaurants like this, you can expect a ratio of 80% carbs (usually rice or spaghetti). Hence, the big portions. Good if you're bulking! BBQ Pork with Noodles - I didn't try it but the BBQ Pork looked delicious and it was a huge serving, like with everything else. My friend couldn't finish it and had to get it packed. Baked Bolognese & Cheese on Spaghetti - Something about this dish is so nostalgic! It's a LOT of spaghetti but perfect sauce to pasta ratio. By the time I finished eating, it looked like I had barely touched the dish (but I also had to juggle my vegetable soup and milk tea)! I packed it and my boyfriend and I finished it for dinner. It lasted THREE meals! Chicken with Black Pepper Sauce with Spaghetti - A big plate of rice but the chicken was also a decent size. To my surprise, the chicken was tender and actually made quite well. My BF was pretty impressed with the texture too. Our total came to $30, but because we also ordered an extra soup and there was an extra charge for iced milk tea. Overall, it's good for what it is (a simple, HK style cafe) and I will be back to try other dishes.

    3 star for food + 0.5 star for value + 0.5 star for being in my hood MY Restaurant has now becomes my to go hole in the wall restaurant for cheap eats! Generous portions, good value and no frills experience. Don't expect anything fancy. Just simple ingredients and home style cooking. Great to have something affordable in this neighborhood. Scarborough pricing in Markham. I hope they will be around for awhile at this price point.

    Reason for Visit: Just discovered this gem. I don't know how I never heard of this place for the longest time. Menu: This place actually has very good prices. Most combos are ~$10 max / person. My goodness. So prices are great to start. So the food came, we got their 2 people combo with curry beef and fried chicken. Portions were huge! I never saw that much meat in a curry dish. I swear half the plate was beef. This is some high value stuff. I will say their curry is spicier than most places, probably cause they are Hakka in origin. The fried popcorn chicken came and again that was huge. I was immediately thinking of how I paid almost the same price other day at Sansotei for a small cup of popcorn chicken. The taste was fantastic! Not too salty, flavorful and super crispy. Service: The waitresses work fast! I am very impressed and they also like to have chats with some repeated customers. They recognize you if you come in often. I like that more personal service. Atmosphere: Small place and busy. Good luck waiting if you have a group of 6 of more people. Overall: This is my new go to Chinese restaurant if I'm in the area. The prices are amazing, portions are ridiculously huge and food tastes great. Highly recommended!!!

    4.5 Pros: Great Value Awesome vibe Great Staff Cons: Not too many seats Decor very old school MY Restaurant is one of the reasons I love Yelp so much. Without Yelp, I would of never known this place existed. This is my definition of a hidden gem. My restaurant ticks off all the things I want in a HK style cafe. As long as you don't mind the old school look, this is a place for all HK style cafe fans. This place is tucked in a small plaza. There would be no way you would know about this place without something like Yelp. Walking in, there are a few seats, but the place is definitely on the small side. There are a couple of booths and a large table in the middle. The seating is definitely tight here. Good thing is turnover is really quick in a place like this so you won't have too wait too long for a table. One of my biggest rants with Chinese businesses is if they lack English on the menu. I'm a firm believer that you should have English menus available no matter what type language is predominantly spoken. My restaurant has English for every single item they sell here. Even the daily specials have English written as well. Prices here are very good for a HK style cafe. You can expect to see prices $1-2 cheaper than others places. We had a baked pasta, bbq pork and duck on rice and a side order of wings and fries. The portions here are very generous for what you pay. Taste wise, the food is on par if not a little better with what you expect for a HK style cafe. It's a quintessential HK style cafe, decent food at a great price. Like I mentioned before, this place is old school. The decor is out of date, some things are held together by duck tape, etc. It's a no frills approach to eateries. If you're used to this kind of thing, it won't bother you at all. Come in with realistic expectations, you will be fine. This is a place that's favoured by the locals. Everyone who came in was a regular. The staff here knew them all and what they wanted. It's got a real homey diner type vibe. We were knew but the staff were very friendly and helpful. They made our kids feel real welcome as well. Overall, I loved this place. It will defeinitely be on my regular rotation eating out. Our bill came out to $29 taxes in. That was for 2 entrees with soup and drink and a side order of wings and fries. You can't beat value like that.

    Fast Dirty Cheap Chinese Food | Limited parking | Free newspaper | Thai/ Hakka/Chinese Small place at Hwy 7/ Markham Rd off on the (north) side. Serves a variety of Chinese food; combos available just like your typical HK cafes. It's okay Chinese food if you're just looking for a quick fix but being in the Markham area, there's a ton other places nearby with better quality at the same price. The floor was dirty and greasy. My soup noodle bowl was plated and when I removed the bowl I saw a pubic-hair like curly hair on it. I hope it was just someone with short curly hair in the kitchen. Also when I came into the restaurant the server gave me a long odd stare. Overall the food wasn't amazing. Nothing special. It was okay. I wouldn't purposely come back for anything.

    Ordered a sandwich and realized half of the bread turned bad with mold...Which is Pretty obvious . they still serve that to customers.

    I've gotten taken out from MY restaurant a number of times. Tonight my wife ordered Cantonese chow mein, Shanghai style fried noodle, Veggie fried rice and a large fish congee. MY Restaurant is very much a hole in the wall-old school- no frills-greasy spoon, borne from days gone by. Food is canto cuisine and has very much many of the same/similar type dishes you can find at the more popular Congee Queen. Prices are much more reasonable and portions are just as fair. If you are fixing for canto food that tastes great and with reasonable prices then look no further than MY Restuarant. Note that prices have recently updated and I've posted the new menu. Also, cash only (no discount - support local!)

The use of traditional elements, paper-cut window designs, red Spring Festival couplets, old-style newspaper wall coverings, and exposed brick adds a strong sense of nostalgia. It feels immersive and intentional, almost like stepping into a countryside home in Dongbei rather than a typical restaurant. The décor isn't fancy, but it's rich in cultural detail and warmth, perfectly matching the hearty, comforting style of Northeast Chinese cuisine. The space is unique and perfect for taking photos. The food here is very generous. We ordered the 4-person set with two side pots. Tomato Braised Beef Brisket and Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms and the portions were huge. Both pots arrived steaming hot and filled to the brim, clearly meant for sharing. The braised beef was rich and hearty, while the chicken pot was comforting and full of flavor, making it perfect for group dining or cold weather meals. Combined with the rustic, traditional décor, it really feels like authentic Northeast Chinese comfort food. The food and atmosphere were excellent, though the service was a bit lacking. Prices are reasonable for the generous portion sizes and the unique restaurant décor.

I was hoping to find something special on the menu. The Peking duck caught my eye at around $70, but then I discovered that almost everything else was extra--lettuce wraps, stir-fried duck meat, fried rice, and soup. By the time you add the extras, the bill is easily another $50 or more, bringing the total to well over $120. We decided to pass, and judging from the dishes we did order, that was probably the right decision. The hot and sour soup had plenty of heat and tang but lacked depth of flavor and was under-seasoned for my taste. Fortunately, we only ordered a small bowl. The deep-fried tofu was bland and forgettable. The stir-fried shrimp was acceptable but nothing special. The biggest disappointment was the sweet and sour pork. I specifically asked the server to make sure the pork was crispy, but it arrived soft and lumpy rather than light and crunchy. Even the complimentary red bean dessert soup was watery and lacked flavor. Our bill came to about $104 for two people. For the quality of the food, I didn't feel it offered good value. Sadly, after several disappointing visits, I don't think we'll be returning.

The lid on my shredded potato salad wasn't on properly and the sauce leaked through my Fantuan bag. The food gets five stars. Sadly, the lid on my potato salad wasn't securely on the container. I had my food in my insulated bag, so the sauce leaked into the Fantuan bag and my insulated bag. Luckily, my car was fine. As a result, my rating is four stars. I wanted to try a new eatery. I looked at my Fantuan app and noticed He Bei Chinese Cuisine. It had dumplings and snacks that I enjoy, so I said yes to placing a dinner order from this eatery. I ordered these items: - Pork and chive steamed dumplings (large has 14 dumplings) - Tea eggs - Shredded potato salad On Fantuan, when you purchase $15 worth of food, you get the shredded potato salad for a cent. Deal! After placing my order near my home, I drove over to this eatery. The drive was ten minutes. I was given an estimated time of fifteen minutes. It was ready in ten minutes. I had no problem finding this eatery. There was plenty of parking. I pulled into a spot and walked in. I saw the Yubu sign. My heart sank, as I loved the Korean tofu pockets from this joint. I liked seeing places to sit down and eat at He Bei. Nice! A woman behind the counter came over. I said that I had a Fantuan order. She talked to me in Mandarin. I don't understand it, but we were fine communicating with each other in our languages. She pointed out the blue Fantuan bag on the table behind me. I thanked her and wished her a nice day. She said thanks right back. I put my food in my insulated bag. With the leak, I managed to launder the Fantuan bag and clean my insulated bag. After I cleaned up, I had dinner at home. The food was amazing and filling! I loved the shredded potato salad. Sure, a lot of the sesame-soy sauce was gone. However, it tasted yummy. It was worth the cent! The steamed pork and chive dumplings were so good. I didn't dunk them in soy sauce. The filling had so much moisture that I felt like I was eating soup dumplings. The filling had yummy flavour and the dumplings were steamed to perfection. Excellent! You can buy frozen dumplings from this place. I'll need to do it. The tea eggs were the perfect snack while streaming hockey games. I peeled the shells off both of them. The eggs were cracked to allow the amazing soy-based sauce to marinate and get into the eggs. Delicious! I'm a fan. I'll take a closer look at the lids on my food next time. I'm glad that I put food in my insulated bag. It saved cleaning my car's upholstery! (59)

    Was really hoping this place was worth the drive in the middle of the weekday from downtown. Our…read moreclients took us here as we were the out of towners and wanted to show us the OG spot for the famous lobster tower. The restaurant was surrounded in tanks full of lobster, crab, seafood and then a ton of dry aged steaks. Definitely something you don't see in California. Clean and spacious. Service was what you would expect from a Chinese seafood restaurant. Overall the meal was good, for me and a few others at the table the star of the show was actually the fish. The lobster while impressive when they brought it out was not as flavorful as one would have expected. And same with the king crab legs - my favorite have been the ones I've had in SF. Was interesting to come and experience it but I wouldn't come back. I prefer quality food over an IG-moment.

    Fishman Lobster Clubhouse Restaurant on Finch Avenue East in Scarborough serves an unforgettable…read moreseafood feast, though you will need plenty of patience. The establishment is famous for its iconic, towering mountains of deep-fried Hong Kong-style lobster and giant Alaskan king crabs.Without a doubt, the food is exceptional. The seafood is extraordinarily fresh--pulled straight from massive surrounding glass tanks--and prepared to absolute perfection with their signature Maggi sauce and garlic toppings. However, the major downside here is the notoriously slow and chaotic service. Due to the massive crowds, servers can be hard to flag down, orders take a long time to arrive, and the staff often feels rushed or inattentive. Despite the frustrating wait times and subpar service, the spectacular flavors and theatrical presentation make it a worthwhile destination for patient seafood lovers.Watch the massive lobster towers being prepared and served fresh at this iconic spot

    New Century will feed a large group. Their lobster, Dungeness crab, and sea bass combo for eight…read more($798) would satisfy ten or twelve. The individual New Century slow boiled soup is hardest to share but secure some empty bowls and you can divide the hefty portion. In the winter, there's a silkiness to the piping hot consommé that sooths a dry throat and has an umami essence infused with abalone, ginseng, and pork. There's plenty to choose from in the house signature combo platter including roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork, pork slices, and seaweed salad. Saving my stomach for the later dishes, I had a taste of the duck (a good start with crispy skin) and BBQ pork (satisfactory and well flavoured). With the generous portion of chicken in the combo platter, the slow cooked chicken with abalone broth seemed like overkill. I've never been a huge fan of this dish that's served cold since I prefer chicken hot. Still, I understand it's the jelly layer between the skin and meat that people enjoy. And to be fair, the chicken was tender, and New Century certainly didn't skimp on the ginger and scallion oil. For those who tend to fill-up before the "main dishes", the stars of the combo arrive mid-meal. The stir-fried Vancouver crabs with silver fish in HK style spicy sauce needs to be eaten at arrival as the crunchy coating is best straight from the fryer. And despite not looking spicy, the dish has a light heat that permeates in the background. Additionally, the crab was fresh and meaty, cooked well so it remained delicately flakey. The amount of sweet and sticky sauce used in the stir-fried lobsters with scallion in Maggie sauce was well balanced, lightly covering the crustaceans. Both lobsters were substantial; even after eating many pieces, we still had plenty of leftovers. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.

    Very good dim sum! Super large restaurant with huge screen TVs. Great friendly service. Definitely…read morewill come back!

    We first noticed this restaurant because the name in Chinese is "like to be with you". It's Friday…read morethat after my appointment around the area. They have different special offers each day from Monday to Friday. We ordered the special Linyi Style Stir Fried Chicken on Friday. And we also ordered Boiled Basa Fish with pickled Cabbage & Green Pepper. They were pretty traditional Chinese styles. The white rice or brown rice both can have as much as we could. That's good for men. We both like here, but they don't offer specials during the weekends. But they do have other special packages, just a bit different. And they also have the membership that we could collect points and then we could use the points to get drinks or different snacks or dishes.

    New sauerkraut fish soup spot in Markham…read more A chain from asia that has finally made it's way to Markham. They are known for their sauerkraut fish soup that comes with unlimited self serve rice on the side. Servers were attentive, spacing of the seating and tables were tight. Often times people kept brushing up against my chair while getting up to go get their rounds of rice. Although not a deal breaker, was annoying while trying to enjoy your food. The portions are big enough for 2 if you get a large, but since it was our first time we wanted to try 2 different soups. Here's what we got: Chicken wings 4/5 - Came out raw the first time after we bit into it. But quickly flagged a server to let them know how this issue. They brought us a new one shortly after that was perfectly cooked, juicy and crispy on the outside. Laotan boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chili 4/5 - Their number one classic so we had to try. It's sour and spicy with the right amount of kick to it. Basa fish filets were also tasty. Came out luke warm. Princess's tomato fish 4/5 - Packed with tomato flavour. Savoury and paired well with the basa fish filet. Came with bean curd noodles as well. Came out luke warm. Easily would be a five star review if both soups that we got came out piping hot rather than lukewarm. Regardless, a great spot for a quick in and out meal.

    Great food, friendly service. What more could you ask for…read more The decor is amazing, really feels special compared to the boring decor of other Chinese restaurants. The portions are large and great for sharing. If you can handle spicy, grab a friend that can also handle it and you're in for a good time here. Note that this place only accepts cash and debit.

    If you like spice this is the place for you. Located at the commerce gate complex there is…read moretypically a wait to get a table here. Wait list is old school...someone writes your name and number in a notebook and you are called when your table is ready. The interior is reminiscent of the old school taverns you see in those old Chinese movies where the traveller has spent days walking or on a horse and comes upon a tavern where the interior is all wooden tables and benches. Dining style and dishes are all family style. You order a couple of dishes and then add rice. Spice level can be adjusted and even at 'less' the heat level was high. Definitely generous use of Szechwan peppercorns! Food is very flavourful and depending on preference some might find the oil level high. The clientele is mainly Mandarin speaking and if you are Asian they will immediately communicate in Mandarin with you but I did see the staff switch to English where needed. Service was patient and attentive.
