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!

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.

Great place for a quick bite of Taiwanese flavors. We ordered a few snacks, beef noodle, and the recommended sesame flat bread that is delicious! Service is friendly and food comes out fast. Consider it a neighborhood fast food place with tasty bites, good value and quantity.

Came here to get a quick bite and definitely enjoyed the food. Price is cheaper than going to McDonald's and the waitress was nice. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu

Popcorn chicken, salted fish cake

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!

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.

A hole in a wall joint serving Taiwanese street food. Popcorn chicken, noodle, pancake, ground beef are all ready to satisfy your hunger. Good taste and good quality as well. Just bring your cash or pay with Canadian debit card; which is the norm for all the eateries in Markham area

Food was good had homestyle and affordable prices ! Service was quick to the point. Small shop and had lots of old fashion mom and pop feel. Not too much sitting

Convenient take out location for Taiwanese snacks. There are dishes here that are not available elsewhere, for example the bang bang chicken skewer and bang bang fish skewer. However, none of the unique dishes are so good to the point of extremely memorable that would make me a frequent repeating customer. The competition is quite fierce in the plaza too. The papa Chang is in the same plaza to ai taiker - a Taiwanese fried chicken place that have frequent Uber eats promotion.

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!

I came here for dinner once and really enjoy their food, it was decently price and good at the same time. Service was also really fast even tho they were busy. It was overall A good experience. I came back to get a party tray recently and for the amount of variety it was definitely not too expensive. The food was good too! I would definitely be back again!

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!

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.

There was no line when we arrived, though we noticed a steady stream of customers leaving with bags of food in hand. My mom got the traditional rice roll, while I opted for the cheese. Both were fantastic! They were almost too hot to touch, a great sign that they were freshly prepared. The rice-to-filling ratio was spot on, and the crispy exterior delivered a satisfying crunch.

The lady working there prepared my order incredibly quickly, and it came out piping hot! I went with the OG version, which came with a crispy fried dough stick (油條), pork floss, and a marinated egg tucked inside. It was delicious, warm, and comforting! My only minor complaint was that the fried dough stick was quite oily, but overall, I really enjoyed it. There are so many other items on the menu that I'd love to try, so I'll definitely be back! One thing to note: the shop is a little tucked away inside Langham Square, so keep an eye out for it. It's listed as "Good Morning", although I believe its Chinese name may be different. Worth checking out if you're a fan of Taiwanese sticky rice!

Service was pretty quick and staff are pretty nice as well. Food It's setup line how you would see it in Taiwan. You choose a main and you select your choice of 3 sides. It's about $15 per bento. And they don't skip out on the quantity. I tried the classic popcorn and minced pork with sausage. Usually these are my go to and they did not disappointment. The chicken was very crispy and crunchy while the meat itself was still juicy. The minced pork was consistent and comforting on flavours. As for sides, I usually either do eggplant or veggies. They have egg/tomato and tofu. Their winter melon drink is also a good refresher. Glad to see these type of food available at Yonge and Finch. Perfect for people on the go or needing a quick bite
