MY restaurant has been on my radar for a while now and I finally!!! had a chance to visit for a weekday lunch. I should have read the reviews a little more carefully as it took a while to find parking. We were disappointed that they had NO HAKKA items on their lunch menu, so we ordered beef ho fun, stir fried green bean with black bean sauce with chicken, and sweet and sour pork. The complimentary house soup landed flat for my dining companion who barely finished half of hers, whereas I enjoyed this comforting no-frills soup. The portions are decent and the flavours were mostly good. The sweet and sour pork, unfortunately, was mostly batter and had very little meat. The green beans were crunchy and good, the chicken slices were well-velveted, but the black bean sauce was barely there. The beef ho fun was less oily which we appreciated. The ginormous bowl of white rice felt homey and we barely made a dent. Overall, MY was ok. I wasn't overly thrilled with what we had, but maybe that would have been different if they actually offered Hakka options at lunch.
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.
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!)
New Hong Kong style cafe that took over the spot that used to be Chef Lin. Came here on a Wednesday night around 8:30pm and it was empty. The four of us ordered a "pick your own dishes" combo for 4 that included 4 dishes and 4 bowls of steamed rice. We ordered a sweet and sour pork chop, beef brisket, oxtail stew and garlic sauteed veggie. Everything was average, nothing bad and nothing spectacular, but you can definitely taste the MSG. Service was good because we were the only ones there! It's nice to finally have a HK style cafe in East Markham! To end, average food, good service. read more

One of the small "hidden" tucked away gems of Markham main, serving tradition HK cafe food and more. I got one of the daily specials, Black Pepper Sauce Chicken with fries (change from rice) and cold HK milk tea, also comes with soup for about $11. If you are coming with larger than group of 4 might be better to call ahead. Parking is limited but there are other plaza around it where you can park. There is also a Dairy Queen a couple stores down for dessert after . Will be back! read more

My family orders here from time to time when we don't feel like home cooked food. This place has good food for thw price paid. We like the Hainan chicken, garlic shrimp fried rice, Cantonese chow mein, bolognese noodles. read more
Great for a quick Chinese food stop! Prices are more than reasonable for the value and quantity! Really enjoyed my baked Bolognese and cheese for $8.50, came with a drink and Chinese pear soup. Also a more equal ratio of beef and noodles than other places at hwy 7 and Kennedy read more

My favourite go to HK Cafe. Price is fair, portions are huge, and food is good! I generally order from their breakfast menu and lunch menu. I love their roasted duck with preserved cabbage on vermicelli in soup! Tastes delicious and big portion! Every food item on the menu comes with a hot or cold drink (+$1). Their lunch menu changes daily and is written on a white board for everyone to see. There is always a wide variety of choices. There is chicken, steak, fish, lamb or pork. Their curry chicken and chicken steak with black pepper sauce is one of my favourites! Only recommendation I would make for this restaurant is to upgrade the size, as it doesn't sit many people. I also find that their pastas are often overcooked, so it is very soft. I generally order other types of noodles or rice to substitute the pasta. The staff are very friendly and will jot down any changes or substitutes. This restaurant is so close to home and is for sure one of my favourites! read more

Great little restaurant in main street markham! We have tried their bfast, lunch, and dinner items and they are all really tasty. Portions are very big and well priced. Most meals come with a soup (chinese style or borscht) and a drink. Highly recommend if you want some place to have a filling meal at a reasonable price. It is fairly small inside and not amazing in decor but the staff are friendly. read more
3.5- This little cafe is quite hidden in the corner of a small plaza next to a convenience store and 1-2 other shops. The inside of the HK cafe looked like a typical cafe but the tables and chairs felt more roomy. We came during dinner time so we ordered off the dinner menu. Their daily specials on located on white boards on the wall, the prices on those boards are most likely their lunch prices and dinner is an extra $1 (we weren't informed until the bill came). Everyone ordered the chicken steak with onion sauce. The dish came with a choice of rice/spaghetti/fries, soup, and a drink. The chicken steak was actually quite juicy and tasted great! The sauce might have been a little too salty for my preference and the vegetables that came with it weren't great. The corn was too soggy and mushy. Overall portion size was great for the price and would come again if I'm in the area! read more

This place gets stars for it's huge portion sizes, great prices and friendly staff! I ordered one of the set lunches off their menu board on the wall - eggplant and pork noodles with a soup and hot milk tea for just $8.50! I chose the Chinese soup which was delicious and flavorful, a good way to start the meal. When my noodle dish came, I was shocked, it was enough to feed three skinny people or two normal sized humans! The noodles were okay but it had a lot of oil so it became heavy and filling really quickly. I will probably not order this again and try something else off their menu which is quite extensive! Parking here is very limited, I was lucky enough to grab a spot in the back. I think they only have around 5-6 spots behind the restaurant and 2 in front. This is a good place to come if you're hungry around late afternoon when the restaurant is not as busy! read more
Wow what a hidden gem in Markham for Chinese food. The food is so flavourful but isn't too oily. Hubby says it has "wok hay". It is also very cheap considering the portions that they give. You can get a two course set dinner for $20.50 and it comes with Chinese soup and white rice. We tried the general Tao chicken and the beef with king oysters, And the Cantonese chow mein, so delicious! It's a very small restaurant, and does not look fancy at all but we really enjoyed the food. Can't wait to try the other dishes next time. read more

3.5 stars. This place is kind of hidden on a small side road. Limited parking in front, more at the back. Came here in the morning 9am+. Customers constantly coming in n out. Old style HK cafe. Food are good. Free Chinese newspaper in morning. read more
Chef Lin is gone : ( M & Y Restaurant is now in its place. It's a Hong Kong style café. Their lunch specials are written on the white board; which come with soup and drinks. We had minced beef spaghetti and pork chop cutlet with salad. The spaghetti came with borscht soup. There was generous sauce in the spaghetti and each single strand was flavored. The soup was rich and loaded with vegetables, but the pork chop was a bit dry though. Service is quick and attentive. Grand opening next week! read more

This is a small, tucked away, HK Cafe. Some might recognize the staff and food from a restaurant called Maydoh in Scarborough. HK cafes typically serve a soup and coffee/tea with every meal. The soup at this restaurant actually tastes good and has a lot of ingredients. The tea isn't that great though. As for the food, everything we've had has been amazing. They have a weird pricing system where the menu is one price, but after 6pm, the dishes go up $1 so just be aware of that when you visit. Spaghetti Bolognese ($7.50) Most places skimp on the meat sauce and cheese, but not this place. It's packed with delicious meat sauce and has a generous amount of gooey cheese on the top that actually has flavour. Black Pepper Chicken/Pork ($9.99/$10.99) The key to a good black pepper chicken/pork is a peppery sauce and a juicy piece of meat. This place nails the sauce as it has a delicious pepper taste with tasty gravy and they give not one, but two pieces of juicy meat! Curry Beef Brisket ($10.50) It's hard to a find a tasty curry beef brisket in Toronto these days that's not bland or cheap on the amount of brisket served. This restaurant gives a lot of brisket and the curry sauce is bomb. read more

I was sceptical about this place at first but the food and service won me over. The person who took our order was very patient and we didn't feel rushed like so many other HK style restaurants tend to do. She pointed out the daily specials that was hanging on the wall and told us the soup of the day. We both ended up getting the minced beef spaghetti and condensed milk toast. I've had the spaghetti in a lot of different restaurants but this one is my new favourite. First of all it's perfectly salted which many places fail to do. Second of all, the sauce is defiantly made from scratch and you can taste the time it took to stew it. The spaghetti is cooked to a perfect texture as well. Our bill came to under 25 dollars so you can't beat that value. Overall I enjoyed the food and will come back in the future. read more

The staff is friendly and the restaurant appears to be family owned. There was a quick turn over time of our order. We enjoyed Chicken Pad Thai, plus an order of Chicken Wings with Fries! The portions were generous, and the prices were very fair! :) read more

Wanted to try something new in the area, so I decided to have their general tao chicken *my fav* yesterday. Our food came really quick and the waitresses were very attentive. The general Tao chicken was made perfectly with bite-sized pieces that were very crispy and tangy. My boyfriend usually doesn't like to eat Chinese food but he was very happy with his curry chicken that were apparently their signature dish. Overall, the food and service was very good. I'll recommend this place for quick meals and takeouts (they also deliver from what I read on the menu). Price is super fair with generous portions !! read more
