The beef noodle is the best. Tasty and the beef is soft. The fish skewer has good tasty sauce. I don't like the chicken bento as the chicken is not fresh. believe this place has been in this neighbourhood for long while hence the decoration is not updated. The portion is small and good for girls. Service is pretty fast. read more

Papa Chang is a small restaurant stowed away in a small plaza on 16th ave. They have Taiwanese food with a focus on quick and authentic. Service and food came quick. This place a definitely a go to satisfy your Taiwanese food cravings. Popcorn chicken - Really good and really authentic popcorn chicken. The dish came quick, but also came piping hot! The chicken was also really well seasoned. Would recommend! Beef noodle soup - Really good flavour in the noodle soup! good amount of soysauce, vinegar and beef flavour. Also relatively cheap and a decent portion of noodles as well. Would recommend! read more

Papa Chang's on 16th Avenue in Markham is a long-running established Taiwanese street food restaurant. Delicious tasty food. Attentive and fast service. Excellent value. Cheery fast-paced ambiance. Inside the small restaurant it can get crowded pretty fast, my tip is to place your order for takeout or on SkipTheDishes to avoid a wait. R02 - Taiwanese Sausage and Minced Pork on Rice with an soy egg - filling and nourishing. A14 - Taiwanese Style Meatball - texture was good. A03 - Deep Fried Fish Cake* - flavourful and sweet. read more

I used to come here every week in high school! A great place for some affordable Taiwanese food. It is a smaller restaurant but can seat quite a few people. Be aware that there is a charge for using the card machine (better to bring cash)! The classic Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken is a must-try. Great flavour, and the chicken is nice and juicy. I'm also a fan of their Salted Squid Balls, Fried Fish Cake, Bentos, and Minced Pork on Rice (with egg and Taiwanese sausage). Also, if you have never tried intestine before, the Crispy Intestine will change your life! The best intestines I've ever had to date. The other dishes like some of the soups are just alright in my opinion, but their snacks are all pretty safe choices. I will say they have become more expensive, charging for the sauce that comes with the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken for take-out, which used to be included for free. I will still be coming here when my craving for popcorn chicken kicks in though! read more

Simple, no frills Taiwanese food. From there minced meat on rice to the popcorn chicken, everything here is a win. It's a great take out option, and usually ready in a few minutes. The flavour is as authentic as it gets, and don't expect five star service for sit down. Note: the seating area is not too large to big groups will have a hard time getting seated. read more

It's a tiny Taiwanese resto at Markham Road and 16th Ave. BBQ chicken sesame flat bread: Chicken was cooked nicely. Flatbread could've been lighter (it was quite dense) but the accompanying bbq sauce was tangy and moreish. Chicken skewers: My friend liked these because of the wasabi mayo they threw on top. Ironically, his gf disliked them for the exact reason. I thought they could've used a bit more seasoning on the actual meat underneath the batter. Chicken cutlet curry on rice: I'm not sure if this was an attempt at japanese curry or not but it was very fusiony and wasn't a fan of the random frozen veggies on top of the bowl. The curry itself was not bad but the chicken could've been more moist. Pork cutlet curry on rice: Same comment on the veggies as above. The pork was a lil more tender than the chicken. Curry w/ beef on rice: Didn't actually get to try this, but my friend who ordered it said it was a hard pass lol. Pork cutlet bento: Cute lil bento order that comes w/ 3 sides (one of them being veggies). The portion size is quite small and I would worry for you if you've got a big appetite. Meat floss pancake: A pretty iconic staple when it comes to Taiwanese snacks. This was a decent one. Wouldn't order again though. Popcorn chicken bento: Between this and the regular side order of popcorn chicken, I think the popcorn chicken side order is WAY more worth it. You get more chicken and you'll prolly get more full too. They are also priced similarly. Popcorn chicken: Another iconic Taiwanese snack. This was a pretty good popcorn chicken. Nice big portion and the sauce that came w/ it was tangy. Signature beef noodle soup: I thought the soup was on the sweeter side (which was interesting). Usually I'm used to more savoury soups for beef noodle. There was a generous amount of pickled mustard greens which was nice. They used beef chunks instead of beef slices which was proper. The tendon was really tender but I wish they would've given me more beef instead of tendons (I wonder if they'd be willing to do this as a request). The noodles were firm and chewy. I don't think they make their noodles in-house but they were good noodles. Very decent Taiwanese spot! The popcorn chicken is prolly the most worth it dish here. They also have party trays which I might explore in the future. read more

A great go-to spot in the area. Cheap and delicious food and. Most people get takeout as the place is pretty small. Their signature dish is their popcorn chicken so if you can, see if you can try it! Otherwise, I usually like to get the chili taiwanese sausage with mince pork w/ rice (8.49). It comes with an egg and I think you can get one that is maybe 0.50-1.00 cheaper if you don't like chili. Super tasty, filling, and a great meal for under $10. Definitely would recommend you try it out! read more

Papa Chang's is such a nostalgic spot for me. During high school, I would often get something from Papa Chang's after school for a snack (yes, I needed some big snacks due to a small appetite during school). I have always loved their Beef Noodle Soup because it's really comforting, warm, and savoury. The broth is always rich with beef flavour and the beef is usually quite tender. It is definitely my favourite dish there. Other than that, I often get their skewer chicken, or taiwanese sausage and minced pork rice. I have also tried a number of their rice boxes and appetizer type items. They are also tasty and they give good portions! I appreciate how their prices have been kept so low throughout their existence. I recommend this spot as an easy, cheap meal option! read more

Deep fried pork chop bento was decent. Pork chop was well fried, came with mild sweet sauce and some soy sauce minced pork. Portion wasn't huge & the 3 side dishes were ok. Braised pork on rice was very tasty. It was a mix of pork belly & ground pork. The pork belly had a good proportion of fat. The rice was a bit uneven though. Signature beef noodle soup was decent. They haven't raised their prices since before covid, which is nice. HeySong root beer is a Taiwanese sarsaparilla brand. It's quite medicinal and not nice. read more

Classic Taiwanese popcorn chicken taste! Went to Papa Changs after getting hungry shopping at the mall and got there around 4PM-5PM. It was completely empty inside and I was honestly a little worried. A few employees were sitting on their phones to the side of the store. I spoke with a lady behind the ordering counter about what I should order/what she suggests (even though I knew I would definitely be ordering the popcorn chicken). She suggested the Taiwanese sausage with braised meat rice so I got that and the popcorn chicken bento box. I would def not recommend the sausage rice (I wish I took a photo of it) it had 80% rice, a thin layer of braised meat sauce & 1 Taiwanese sausage cut up. The Taiwanese sausage was fine (taste wise) so I suggest ordering that as a snack instead of as a meal. The popcorn chicken bento box on the other hand was good! Like I mentioned earlier, it's the classic popcorn chicken taste we all love and are used to. The bento box had a good amount of chicken, not too much rice (also came w/ a thin layer of meat sauce on it) & 3 small random sides which I thought wasn't bad. My favorite of the sides was this tempura fish cake that had a sauce similar to Taiwanese oyster egg pancake! Overall I say if you come here get the popcorn chicken! It won't disappoint! If you're not that hungry for the bento box the snack version would be great too! Also try to enjoy ASAP if it's takeout since the lids are plastic & the chicken gets soggy after a while read more

Decently filling portions for what they look like - was more satisfied than expected given we were pretty hungry when we walked in! Quality is reasonable for the price ($). Also note that this place only takes cash / debit. I had the chicken teriyaki bento which had a lot of different components / flavors. The sauces used were also interesting - the teriyaki one reminded me of wasabi. The fish cake sauce almost felt like it was going to be spicy but it wasn't. The tofu would have been better if it came with soy sauce / some flavoring. Overall I would say this was a 3.5 / 5 - it's worth coming if you're just looking for a filling meal with a cheap price. read more

This is a small restaurant tucked away in a small plaza by Markham Rd and 16th Ave. We noticed that a large portion of their customers are people getting takeout. This was more than amount of people that actually ate there. Between 3 people we shared a few snacks and a beef noodle soup. Deep fried fish cakes, deep fried pork belly, Taiwanese sausage, green onion pancake, chicken skewers. The chicken skewers were very large. This means that there's a ton of batter over the actual meat. Still tasty but too much batter for my liking. The other snacks were very tasty and hit the spot. I found that the noodles in the beef noodle soup were tastier than another Taiwanese restaurant. We left absolutely stuffed. Probably could've done with at least 1 less dish. read more

I use to love Papa Chang's... But I guess as years go by quality control isn't there ? I've been visiting papa Chang's for over 7 years and recently had a craving. Ordered the popcorn chicken, chicken skewers, takoyaki, and braised beef noodle. Popcorn chicken was 2/5, chicken skewers, 1.5/5, takoyaki 2/5, and braised beef noodle 3/5 I'm so sad to see this place downgrade.... the food doesn't taste like it once did and it tasted like they haven't changed their oil in a bit. I've had a very bad experience before at their pacific mall location but I didn't think it would affect this location... Prices have also went up but that's ok as long as food still taste great but the food isn't even average... read more

DINNER This joint has been on my hit list for God knows how long? 5 years? Lol Finally tried it out today! Don't worry, Im taking care of my procrastination issues, just you all wait and see! Anyhow, we waltzed right in, walked straight up to the counter, looked the lady dead in her eyes and said "give me your most popular dishes!" She recommended the beef noodle soup, the spicy sausage on rice with preserved veggies and their famous pop corn chicken. Food came in quick as F. Before we could even wipe down the silverware, a dude pops out from the back carrying the popcorn chicken and the sausage rice dish! Hows that for microwave magic? Hmm. The popcorn chicken was aight aight. Not too shabby. The rice dish was also delectable, spicy and had that "brothy" feel to it. I enjoyed it. But bruh, the beef noodle soup should have not been on that popular list. It belongs on the least likely to get a job after highschool list. The soup was contaminated with MSG, made my mouth feel like I just drank a mouthful of dead sea water. The beef was also pretty tough and chewy which made me wanna swing by costco and get a box of dental floss chewy. All in all, this place is good for a quick meal fix if your in the area. But the hype isn't real for me or maybe I just waited too long to try? Oh well. C'est la vie. read more

I've heard good things from friends about the food at Pa Pa Chang's so it's been on my list for a while. Walking in, it was a lot smaller and more casual than I anticipated. The tiny tables were so close together, we might as well have been sharing tables. We started with Green Onion Pancakes that were a bit greasy but tasty. We shared an order of Taiwanese Sausage with Ground Pork, Preserved Vegetables, and Soya Egg over rice and a Bento Box with Braised Pork Belly and Preserved Vegetables. The flavours were good, kinda like a good home cooked meal. The presentation lacked finesse though, not quite what I expect from a restaurant. It reinforced that home-cooked feel. Come for the food. read more

7pm on a saturday night. Full occupancy in this tiny cozy place. But turn over was fast. Wasnt too long of a wait but you have to wait outside in the cold (hence, knocked off a star).

Food: This minced pork rice is probably the closest thing in Canada to what I had in Taiwan. The pork is not dry as theres a good balance between fats and meat. The sauce is not too salty either. I can probably eat five bowls of these in one day if i allow myself to. Cheap, comforting and good is all I have to say. Portion: Normal. Bento box is a lot though Environment: small and not a lot of spaces, might hv to share tables with others read more

Used to be my favourite, not anymore. Fair prices and good food. However, the other day I ordered something that came up to 11.29 and they charged me 50 cents for the machine. After looking at the sign that says 10 or under, I mention that it's over 10. Insists that it's still 50 c charge even though it doesn't mention that it has to be over 10 with tax. Regardless, without tax it was 9.99 and I come here quite often (2-3 times weekly). They have never done this before. I will not be coming back if this is how they treat loyal customers. read more

I've always seen and wanted to try Papa Chang's as I see them all the time. Finally, we've ordered a party tray #4 to the potluck party we are going. It was great and a great hit at the party at least this was the only platter that didn't have any leftovers. They made sure everything was crispy, and it was crispy when we ate it probably 30 to 45 minutes after we got the food.  The staff are great and friendly. I've ordered through the phone and they ask us to be on time due to the fried food as they want to ensure we got the best quality out of their food. We were early arriving and they made the party tray on the spot and took great care making sure the foil is kept open while making sure it secures the food for the car ride.  There were a lot of takeouts during my wait. It was a small cozy shop but it can definitely get pack. Will definitely try this place again and other menu items which looks delicious. read more

I came here for lunch around 12 and surprisingly there weren't a lot of people, but it did fill up by the time we got our food. I ordered a Popcorn Chicken Bento box that had rice and the popcorn chicken with three small portions of different side veggies. As a Taiwanese Canadian, I honestly thought it was alright, good for the price (~$8) but quality and taste wise, I've had better. My friend got the Chili Taiwanese Sausage Mince Pork with rice. I tried only a little bit of the pickled veggies and it tasted like the ones I usually get at another Taiwanese bento place. When I was paying, I paid cash and I asked for change but then my friends card didn't work so I paid for her. He gave me the change back, but didn't even give me a chance to look at it before taking it back (at this point I was still preoccupied with the card machine) and so I ended up tipping well over when I wanted to tip. I was going to ask for it back but there was suddenly a lot of people so I didn't bother. I'm not really sure I'll come back again, food was decent but it didn't wow me enough to make me want to come back. Service can be improved. read more

Woohoo 100th review goes to PaPa Chang's! Papa Chang's is an express eatery that serves delicious Taiwanese comfort foods. They have their main location tucked inside a small plaza on Markham Rd/16th Ave. They have two other locations in Markham (second floor of Pacific Mall + 14th/Alden Rd). They strongly favor takeout businesses and all of their items are priced at or below food court prices! It is a sure go-to for quick, yummy and affordable Taiwanese take out food! CRISPY PORK CHOP BENTO w/ TERIYAKI SAUCE The Crispy Pork Chop Bento w/ Teriyaki Sauce comes in a bento box filled with flavorful (stewed minced pork) rice, fried pork cutlet, vegetables (tofu, cabbage, radish), and fish cake. The pieces of pork were juicy, lightly battered with a great crunch, and seasoned perfectly. The fish cakes are lightly glazed with the same delicious sauce and with the vegetables, they balance out the hearty pork with rice. The entire combo was very tasty and a nice change of pace from my usual order. Recommend! POPCORN CHICKEN The Popcorn Chicken is AMAZING. I love how crispy, flavorful, and juicy the chicken is. However, there are some times when consistency is off with appearance: sometimes lightly golden and sometimes darker. I used to always get the Popcorn Chicken Bento which I enjoyed because they serve the Popcorn Chicken on top of flavorful stewed minced pork rice and include a side of veggies (tofu, cabbage, radish) and fish cakes (super yummy). You may add 50c to make the Popcorn Chicken Spicy. Interestingly, I've noticed that take out orders do not provide a sauce but dine-ins do... DEEP-FRIED FISH CAKES I love the fish cakes that are provided in the bento boxes but it didn't seem as worth when ordering them alone because you do not get that much for how much it costs ($5.49). DEEP-FRIED SALTED SQUID BALLS Deep-Fried Salted Squid Balls were good but not anything special, it is $6.49 for 6 balls and unfortunately for take out, they get pretty mushed. I would not order these again. TAIWANESE SASUAGE The $5.49 Taiwanese Sausage was okay but a bit too chewy and thinly cut for my liking. I wouldn't get this again. I've also gotten this with the minced pork rice but I felt that it didn't add much to the already flavorful dish. DEEP-FRIED PORK BELLY Deep-Fried Pork Belly for $9.99 was delicious but on the expensive side since the portion is small and it costs more than a rice bowl/ bento etc...! It isn't something I would get regularly just because of the price but I do recommend trying it. It is cut into thin pieces (which helps make it less heavy). All the pieces are very crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The dip (missing from the popcorn chicken) that comes with it makes it even more flavorful. HAND CUT MINCED PORK w/ RICE The Hand Cut Minced Pork with Rice is $4.99 and it may sound simple but it is the best savoury, rich meat sauce that is braised to perfection served on a bed of soft steaming rice along with pickled vegetables. It is an iconic Taiwanese dish that is aromatic and comforting. The minced pork belly has some fat to get that melt-in-your-mouth texture and infuses the rice with rich flavors. The pickled vegetables does a very good job at balancing out the richness. They also have a version with spicy chili flavors that is $1.50 more expensive ($6.49) and it's really good for those that enjoy a spicy dish. However, it is a bit strange that the difference between chili popcorn chicken and regular popcorn chicken is 50c while this one is a difference of $1.50. NOTE: Images on the menu show it with an egg but the egg is an add on of $1. I find this misleading for newcomers. CHILI STEWED PORK BELLY ON RICE The Chili Stewed Pork Belly on Rice was a miss for me. I thought it would be soft, juicy, and tender like their minced pork rice but it was very tough and chewy. Not sure if it was a one-off... but I am not in a hurry to try this again. If you call ahead to place your order, they can have it ready (usually) under 20 minutes! CASH/DEBIT ONLY. read more

How can I NOT have already written a review for this place?! This is one of my fav Taiwanese resto. I've ordered way too many many times here since they open! This place is fairly small with about 10 tables with small group of people. I usually just do take out. Must try Apps - Since I've already tried way too many dishes here I'm just going to share my few standard apps I usually order regularly. The fried fish skewer is a must try. Fried fish was very tender and juicy! I tried the chicken skewers recently and didn't like it that much. I wasn't anything special. If I want fried chicken I'd definitely go for the popcorn chicken as it is much flavourful. I also love their pork floss egg pancake. Everything just mixes well together! Main - The Taiwanese sausage with minced pork rice is my favorite. Recently, I tried the cuttlefish thick soup noodles. It was okay. Should've just get it with the popcorn chicken instead. It taste a bit on the lighter side but the soup was good. I prefer the minced pork soup noodle my bf ordered more than mine haha. There's way too many dishes I loved here. One thing that must try was their homemade pineapple cake. The best I've had. They stopped selling for awhile and now it's back in stock! I think they accept pre-order only. The price isn't cheap ($30 for 10pc) but is worth it! It's very chewy and different than store bought ones. Have I mentioned the pastry taste very buttery and scrumptious and smells soo good too?! read more
