Small little family owned Taiwanese restaurant that is located in a small plaza. There is only a small section for tables so if you want a seat, either go early or make a reservation. The menu isn't huge but enough selection for decent Taiwanese choices. You can choose from bento boxes, noodles, rice bowls, snacks, side dishes. The bento box are the easy to go to choices, it comes with rice, a few different veggies and which ever dish you choose. I would recommend the pork intestines (fried), popcorn chicken, thinly sliced marinated beef. Those are the ones which I usually order. The food is very flavorful and delicious!! Prices are well worth the food you get, average of $10 per person, depending on what you order and how many people you come with. Of course the more the merrier and the more different dishes and snacks you could all try! I always come here to eat if I'm close to this area and will continue to be coming back! read more

This plaza is really close to my old high school; wish there was this restaurant back then! Their specialty is definitely the Taiwanese minced pork with rice and popcorn chicken. I love the ingredients in that rice bowl, especially the egg. I have been to Taiwan before; this comes close but it's pretty hard to beat. I would prefer they use less rice, and more toppings instead. The flavour was lacking a bit for me. It was a busy time when I came for lunch, but the staff is very accomodating and tries to greet everyone politely. Small restaurant, with not many seats; some people had to wait out side to be called. Prices are reasonable, compared to other places in Markham. Overall, it's still a decent place to come once in awhile! read more

Pa Pa Chang is definitely an excellent addition to the neighbourhood! More of a takeout place but with a few tables for eating in, you can get some decent Taiwanese food and snacks at an awesome price! Popcorn Chicken Bento ($6.99) made to order has a generous portion of deep fried chicken, rice, veggie and salad. Love the veggie on the side which was cooked perfectly and just love the sauces that comes with it! There are also some Japanese bento selection like teriyaki chicken, curry with rice. But I will definitely be back for some other Taiwanese snacks and noodles! 2/15 read more

Visited Papa Chang's a couple of times, and fell in love with their delicious food and service! Great portions, consistent quality and fair prices #worthyourmoney. I'm so jealous for those who lives RIGHT NEXT TO this restaurant T_T lol. I gotta say, every dish at Papa Chang's is REALLY TASTY! But I can only eat so much at each visit XD My goal is to try every single dishes on the menu :D Chef Chang (the owner) used to be the Head Chef at Ten Ren's Tea. He quit and opened this small restaurant, hidden in the NW corner of 16th Avenue & Markham Road. Please also note - the restaurant will only remain open if Chef Chang is on duty D: But never fear, he is a workaholic lol. The restaurant probably seats less than 30 people, and they do not take any reservations! The best time to go is for lunch and late brunch, there is little to no wait. The worst time to go is probably 5pm and on... BE READY TO WAIT! and surprisingly people are willing to wait outside the restaurant XD They also do take outs too, so call early to place your order! So far, these are my fave dishes at Papa Chang's! - Popcorn Chicken (MUST order... BEST in the city!) - Japanese Style Tako (Squid) Pan Cake - Japanese Style Tofu - Skewer Fish (melts in your mouth!) - Marinated Beef Shank in Sesame Flat Bread - Satay Pork Thick Soup Noodles Mr. Ho at the front of the house is HILAROUS! He is an older man and the one-and-only server at Papa Chang's. Absolutely love his stories. He is a very pleasant person to talk to! Both times I went, we received free egg pudding on the house from Mr. Ho! He told us to guess the main ingredient in this special homemade egg pudding. I can't believe one of my friend actually got the right answer AND I had NO IDEA or ever heard of that ingredient *applause* :D The restaurant gives you this vibe where you feel right at home. You can easily make conversations with people sitting at tables next to you :) Everyone there is so friendly and just want to enjoy some good food... all foodies out there hahaha ;) Definitely my kind of place! Can't wait to visit again! P.S. Just a random note... Chef Chang is quite buff in person LMAOOOOOO read more

Came here looking for a new place for a light meal or snack in Markham. Between a group of 4, we got the fried squid balls ($5.50), popcorn chicken ($5.50), minced pork with rice ($4.50), and popcorn chicken w/ wet noodle ($6.99). The popcorn chicken was the best - really well seasoned, lots of flavour, fried to perfection, and very fresh. Portion size ran small (approx 10 pcs?) for $6 but that's to be expected for a snack. The minced pork on rice was also very good; more subtle in flavour, kind of had home-cooked-meal vibes to it, definitely a comfort food. The popcorn chicken w/ wet noodle had the pieces of chicken in the wet noodle, which I found kind of weird. The chicken soaked up the broth immediately and lost its texture and flavour. That, and the broth itself could have been stronger. Very good value though since you're getting a decent sized noodle and some popcorn chicken for ~$7. It was probably the most filling item we ordered. Lastly, the fried squid balls I found straight up disappointing. I was expecting squid, but it was actually cuttlefish (in English both are apparently called squid, so I didn't know the difference until my friend who can read in Chinese told me). The fish balls tasted like the ones you get from the supermarket, but fried better. Portion size in general runs towards small; the food is good but I wouldn't come here if I was really hungry. I really liked the variety they had in their dishes and would definitely come back for the popcorn chicken. All in all, a solid place that offers a variety of Taiwanese foods. Good, but nothing to write home about. read more

Amazing taiwanese takeout place. Nothing fancy for sure as far as environment goes but the food is really on point. Definitely recommend the popcorn chicken and the minced pork rice. Price is pretty good and is currently doing take out. Check it out! read more

I'm gonna update this review to acknowledge the fact this place doesn't use disposable materials ever since the renovations, and they use actual dishes and utensils now when serving. I have also tried the signature beef noodle soup, and I find the noodles a bit on the overcooked side. I definitely prefer Mei Nung's noodle soups more. Therefore, despite my previous review on upping this place to 5 stars if they improve the environmental side of this place, I'm keeping it at 4 stars. read more

The fried pork and popcorn chicken should not be prepared in advance, and they serve hot and fresh. $30+tax and tips is reasonable for 3 people. read more

Came here for dinner in eager anticipation due to the raving reviews! We each ordered a signature beef noodle soup (four in total), with a side of fried intestines and popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken came first, and, true to the reviews, it was absolutely delicious!! The batter, though thick in some parts, was not heavy at all. I purposely grabbed it with my fingers to test its greasiness, but my fingers came away virtually free of any oil blemishes. The beef noodle soup, on the other hand, was a different story. My three family members ordered the spicy version (read my tip on that after), while I got the original. The soup was not at all good. Even I can make a better version of it at home. The broth was overly sweet, with too much sesame oil, and lacked any meat flavour whatsoever. Adding the spicy sauce made it slightly more bearable, but there was still far too much oil and the sweetness of the pickled cabbage was still very much present. We were not fans of it at all, and realized belatedly that we could have ordered three to share. With that being said, I was pleased that m bowl had so much tendon (basically all tendon, not much beef). The pork intestines were okay. There were some crispy bits, but on the whole, the intestines were overly fatty and oily. The best intestines I've had thus far were definitely those at Swatow on downtown Toronto, Chinatown. Overall, I didn't find this place to be as good as others have stated. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, but really, only the popcorn chicken stood out to me. Will likely visit other places in Markham instead of returning, since there are so many choices in this region! read more

Authentic Taiwanese food that is so good and so cheap! This is my second time coming here for lunch and it was just as good as I remembered. It's a tiny place that seats about 24 people and most of the tables are together which means you'll likely be sharing a table. It's not a fancy sit down place so people come here really just for the food. The place will get packed by noon so both time we came at around 11:30am and was able to get a table for 3, or more like a table for 2 with a stool on the side. We were okay with that since we weren't planning on sitting very long. There's lots of small dishes like their famous popcorn chicken that you would find at night markets. We didn't want to have any deep fried food so we went with basic comfort food, the beef noodle soup, Taiwanese minced pork and braised pork on rice. All 3 dishes including tax was less $20. Now, that's a hard price to beat. read more

Came here with friends to dine in. Wait time was a bit long at 30 mins but that's to be expected as the place is very small and most people takeout. The spicy popcorn chicken bento and the Taiwanese sausage on rice were amazing, and a very good portion for the price. Someone at our table tried the beef noodle soup which came out way too boiling hot too eat, but was packed with meat and noodles and overall very tasty broth. Would come here again to try the rest of the menu, but will probably end up just getting popcorn chicken again as it was probably the best Taiwanese popcorn chicken I've ever had. read more

Always wanted to go here. I got the Chili Stewed Pork Belly on rice. It was on the front page. It comes with some pickled veggies, minced pork, lots of pork belly, and a big scoop of dried chilis. Before mixing, I tried each component on its own. Everything was delicious. The chili was unique and extemely flavourful. Upon eating, I found it to become more and more spicy. It was actually quite a decent amount of spicy too. The pork belly was so juicy and flavourful. I was also extremely pleasantly surprised to find minced pork underneath since that seems to be the speciality of this place. I got to try that, and it really made the rice underneath tastier to eat. Not just plain rice and pork belly slices, ya kno. Upon reading reviews and looking at the low price, I was expecting very small portions. However, even though my friend and I came in straving, we both were unable to finish our rice bowls... the bowls look small, but they are deep. That being said, there is not a huge amount of rice compared to the meat. There is quite a good balance that doesnt leave you with plain rice at the end. I also got the tako pancake, since I like japanese pancake. They looked similar topping wise, but this had wasabi drizzled all over it!!! The wasabi was a nice touch. Unlike the japanese okonomiyaki, this was a bit thicker with more batter. I liked it but my friend did not. It was also hard to finish since we were so full. We were also given a side of very fresh kimchi! I wish it had came earlier since we got it when we were both full. The server handed out everyones kimchi at the same time so maybe they had run out earlier. Overall, I would definitely come back to this place to try more of their snack items such as popcorn chicken, skewers, takoyaki. I'd also like to try the taiwanese sausage, since I've never had that before. Apparently this place makes fresh noodles (according to my friend). I am not a huge fan of soup noodles, but I love noodles!! Upon looking at the menu, I only saw 1 dry noodle option... in the future, I would like tto seem them expand their dry noodle options, perhaps adding some kind of fried noodles too. read more

Great place for value, Taiwanese taste and speed!! Inside the plaza at 16th ave and Markham Rd beside the convenient store. This small restaurant seats only about 24 people (no joke!). I usually expect to have to wait for a seat. That's when you know the food is good! I've been here a million times but somehow didn't write a review. They have a wide selection of small dishes, snacks and bento boxes (kind of like a combo tray with a main and some side dishes all in one). They're prices are mainly all under $10 and portions are just perfect. They have good things like SKEWER CHICKEN/FISH (deep fried on a skewer and drizzled with sauces), INTESTINE ON VERMICELLI, TAIWANESE SAUSAGES AND MINCED PORK WITH RICE (an awesome deal), POPCORN CHICKEN, TAIWANESE SAUSAGES, APPLE SIDER (an apple flavoured soda, yes not cider), etc. They also offer TAKE OUT if you're in a rush. TIP: their TAKE OUT CONTAINER lids do not fit perfectly .. that's why they give you an elastic band but still be careful. OR they also opened an express version at the upstairs food court at PACIFIC MALL down the middle row. They now do CATERING and in case they don't state it in English, it says TAX FREE if you're paying by cash. They range from $30-$38 per tray at the moment. (Photo uploaded) read more

I've finally had the chance to try Papa Chang's out and if you're looking for really simple Taiwanese food then this is the place. There's a real home cooked vibe with their food. It's simple. It's tasty. It's cheap. What is not to like? The only thing is that you won't be blown away by it. We came here on a Saturday night just before closing and fortunately, they still accommodated us despite somewhat of a mini-rush to get the last call in. It really is fusion in the sense that they do things a bit differently here. There's kimchi with your popcorn chicken, there's a sweet creamy sauce in the meat floss pancake, there's Japanese items on the menu. But all of this is for the better, because everything oddly works. The meat floss pancake was surprisingly melt in your mouth. The popcorn chicken was flavorful with the five spices. There aromatics with sweetness, and it was breaded with a crunch. You'd expect this to be dry with the rice but there's some meat and sauce over the rice to keep things flavorful and moist. I actually loved the kimchi here, it's on the sweeter spectrum too and the fishcakes and fried tofu were nice sides to the bento. It's a great bento meal. The dry chili noodles were a myriad of things. I liked the spiciness of it; it surprisingly packed a lot of heat. The pickled vegetables added a nice sweetness and saltiness to it. The only thing I'd say it was very 'wet' and it made for some weird textures but otherwise it was still very tasty. read more

Been meaning to make a visit to one of their franchises for so long, but never got around to it. Luckily I was in the area while servicing my car and noticed it was nearby. Located in a small plaza that has a pretty full parking lot during lunch time. I found the restaurant in this location really small. Only 10 two seater tables. It was so cramped that I was literally sitting right beside and listening to my neighbours conversations. The service was quick and attentive however. The chairs here are really flimsy and can't stand up right when you hang a purse or a coat on the back of chair. The chair literally fell over, including the person who was about to sit on it. Management should look into that as there are no hangers around. The food itself was pretty good and affordable. My favourite was the takoyaki. The wasabi sauce was bomb. Nice sizable octopus piece inside takoyaki. The popcorn chicken was super flavourful, but my bento did not look to have the same side dishes as their pictured menu... which was a bit disappointing for me. I like the food here, but too cramped for my liking. And this place seems to get a steady rate of customers, so I doubt I would really find a low peak time to visit. read more

Finally got to try this place out :) my friend picked up take out dinner. I got the beef brisket noodles which were pretty good. I liked the broth but it was a touch salty. I wasn't a fan of the noodles though. They were really mushy :( The reason I'm giving this place a great rating is because of the apps and snacks. Taiwanese know how to snack! :) My favorite are the takoyaki which are octopus balls with sauces and fish flakes. They add wasabi to their version which brings another level of flavor and brightens the snack up. I could sit there and eat two orders of these Great value for good food read more

Recently rediscovered papa chang's after a hiatus for a few years. This hidden gem is located at the intersection of Markham rd and 16th ave- seriously super small and hidden but still amazing! My go to is usually the popcorn chicken bento box. The meat to rice ratio is GREAT and I really like that they give you different sides like tofu, fish tofu, and lettuce. Takeout of that is under $10- which is so hard to find nowadays for restaurants. My only qualm is that they're too small!! During lunch rush hour, this place is definitely filling to the brim with a lineup. They also only cash or debit with a 0.25 transaction fee under $10 orders. read more

If you want Taiwanese food and younhappen to be north east end of the city... Look nowhere else. This is the place to go. Yum.

Have been going here for a few years now since we moved to the area but prior to that we also drove up here to get their snacks. They have great party tray options for gatherings, is something different than your regular sushi or Popeyes lol, we always get the braised mix tray, very yummy! read more

The Taiwanese food here is kind of interesting. They are a bit fusion instead of authentic. It tastes like a combination of Taiwanese food and hongkong style fast food. If you want very authentic Taiwanese food this might not be the best place. Overall it's not bad. Very cheap and very family style. But really it was just decent instead of delicious (like a home cooked meal prepared in a rush kind of level). The weirdest dish for me was the Taiwanese meat ball. It's supposed to be filled with a good amount of bamboo and has a Taiwanese meatball taste. But it didn't have the taste or the bamboo. Instead it was filled with some bun like fillings. Popcorn chicken was good. The sauce was delicious but the chicken was not super crispy. It also didn't come with any basil. Intestine noodle was fine. Tastes like a Taiwanese dish but didn't have much aroma. Tastes better with spicy. Braised pork rice has a very big portion. But tastes very basic. read more

I'm probably one of the last person in Markham to eat at Pa Pa Chang's. Seems like everyone I know has been there except me. There's almost always a line up during lunch or dinner as the place is really tiny but hugely popular Taiwanese joint in an area of Markham not known for Asian cuisine. Finally decided to have a quick dinner with the family here and the wait wasn't too bad as we got here around 6pm. Any later the wait grows considerably. More of a Taiwanese fusion joint they serve classic Taiwanese fare such as popcorn chicken, beef noodle soup but also some Japanese fare such as Teriyaki and Takoyaki. Really enjoyed the food here especially the popcorn chicken and braised beef noodles. The only thing I couldn't eat was the crispy intestine as I have a serious gag reflex when it comes to pure fat. I love tendon, organ meats etc...but when it comes to pure fat, I serious gag as the inside of the intestine is pure fatty chew....ugh!!! Service is quick and polite as such a tiny place relies on high turnover. They don't accept reservations and the entire party needs to be there before they will let you sit down. A lot of people call ahead for take out which is a great option too. Great Taiwanese fusion joint with great food, just don't make me eat any intestines! read more

I had lunch here with my parents recently and I loved it. The food was so inexpensive and portions were large. Service was friendly. My only complaint was that the restaurant is a bit on the small side. We started off with the Taiwanese sausage ($4.99) and the Takoyaki Balls ($5.49). The Taiwanese sausage was nice and lean (not fatty) and had that slightly sweet taste to it. I loved it. The Takoyaki was not as good as I've had at Japanese restaurants, but hey, Papa Chang's is not a Japanese restaurant, so I can't fault it for that. They were still pretty good though. The dough was nice and soft and the octopus at the centre was slightly chewy, but not overly so. I loved the ever so slight wasabi taste of the drizzled sauce. The seaweed and bonito flakes on top were also tasty. Both my mom and I had the Popcorn Chicken Bento Box ($6.99) and my dad had the Satay Beef Bento Box ($7.49). For the popcorn chicken, you can get spicy or regular. We both chose spicy, which was basically just regular popcorn chicken with a dry chili powder sprinkled on top. Some spots were definitely more spicy than others and because the powder was so dry, it made me cough a few times during my meal. Nonetheless, it was delicious. It didn't have any fried basil leaves though, but the batter was crispy and the chicken was well seasoned. The chicken was served on top of a bed of white rice that had some ground pork and sauce poured on it. This gave the rice some extra flavour. The bento came with a few slices of fish cakes, which were good, but they weren't as hot (temperature-wise) as I would have liked. I liked that it also came with some green beans (I feel better when there are some vegetables in my meal). The green beans too were lukewarm. I would have preferred them hotter. The bento box also came with some huge chunks of tofu. I gave mine to my dad, so I can't comment on those. I had a few slices of my dad's beef satay and they were tender and lean. The beef wasn't very spicy though. I would have expected much spicier with a name like "satay beef." Service was excellent. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. All tables are for 2 and they just put tables together when you are more than 2. Tables are very close together since the restaurant is so small. When a single diner against the wall next to us left, we asked if we could put one of our tables against that table (and give up our other table to a single diner or party of 2) so our party of 3 could be against the wall instead of in between 2 tables and they gladly agreed to our request. The place is in a small strip mall. There's free parking, but not that much of it. Overall, Papa Chang's is a great place to grab some inexpensive yet tasty Taiwanese food. I don't think they serve that "stinky tofu" that is so common at many Taiwanese restaurants here. So if you are leery of Taiwanese restaurants because of that distinct fermented tofu smell, you need not worry about that here. read more

OH EM GEE ! can't believe I have not made my review to this place yet after having been visiting this place for at least a year. This is one of the places that gave me the reason to give back to Yelp by writing reviews. This place to me is the BOMB.COM of comfort food. Whatever you order off the menu you can bet your tongue would taste so good you'd be wishing you had a spare stomach brought along. My favourite is the 5 spice chicken popcorn , Taiwanese Sausage with Minced pork on rice with pickled vegetables. The flavours are great, the portions Huge , the prices allows you to order a full course and still have spare for an after meal. If your still standing after that meal of course :D. The place is small though so best call ahead to make reservations. if travelling by group, get ready to break up into 3s and 4s if you want to be seated right away. read more

They serve Taiwanese style appetizers and entrees at a reasonable price. They satisfy my popcorn chicken cravings that I used to get at the bbt shops - but better. Theyre pretty fast with their service. Food is usually ready within 10 minutes when you order. It's a good amount of food for the price. I tend to order the popcorn chicken and takoyaki balls - although the takoyaki gets soggy for take out, but we don't have much of an option due to covid. However if you cannot eat spicy you'll have to ask them to separate the wasabi sauce from the takoyaki otherwise they will just sauce it all is with wasabi. read more

Was having a craving for Taiwanese minced pork rice and this was the closest and best place to go in the area. The location is a bit hard to spot if you don't Google ahead of time. We were quite lucky to arrive right when a table or two left, and was seated immediately and served with hot tea. Ordered the chili sausage and minced pork rice with egg... The appearance didn't seem too big but it was definitely a very big portion with a lot of rice (which I love). The sausage wasn't very spicy and had a hint of sweetness, less sweet than what you would find at a Cantonese style BBQ pork restaurant/takeout food court. The minced beef was quite tasty but I felt was not as strong of a taste as what I have had in my precious experiences elsewhere. I was slightly disappointed about the vegetable that came with it as I thought it would be pickled (or maybe it was?). But anyway, I finished every grain of rice on the bowl and frankly, felt quite proud of myself for finishing my meal without needing to ask for a takeout box. I'd like to come back again to try other dishes. Taiwanese food is delicious! read more

Popular Japanese/ Taiwanese restaurant that's supposedly the original Pa Pa Changs location. In terms of set up, the venue is quite small with limited seating. The layout of the restaurant is a bit weird with the entrance door being so close to the tables, I pity for those sitting by the door especially on a cold day you can a blast of cold hit you while you're eating. Nonetheless the food and service was to my standards exceptional. **For starters Jen and I were feeling adventurous and tried their popular Fried intestines; you either like it or you don't. This dish has a particular taste that may not agree with the general crowed. **Meat floss pancake, wrapped pancake with breaded chicken bits, great shareable appetizer. **Fried chicken bento box, melody of fried chicken on a bed of rice and sashimi salmon. The service was fast and efficient, our server was extremely sweet which added a positive touch to our experience at PAPA Chang's. I would definitely come back again as they have a great selection of food! read more

Had dinner at Papa Chang's the other night because seems to have some pretty good yelp reviews. The place is fairly small though and being a party of 7, we were lucky that there was a table available when we arrived. I arrived first and the employee who greeted me asked me when the rest of my party would arrive. I told her that everyone should arrive within five minutes and she told me to sit at the side until my entire party was there. I guess it's understandable though, given the limited seating, it would suck to have someone occupy a table when other customers could be eating. Once seated, we service was quick and efficient. I ordered the Taiwanese Sausage and Minced Pork on rice ($5.49) and added on a braised soy sauce egg ($1). The picture on the menu includes the egg but apparently it does cost extra. The food was delivered within five minutes. The sausage was nice and lean and slightly sweet and the minced pork mixed well with the rice. The pickled mustard greens (咸酸菜) helped to lighten up the dish. There was also a generous amount of rice in the bowl and I was fairly full afterwards. This is a great place to eat if you're in the mood for some Taiwanese fare and the prices make it a no brainer. read more
