Service was good both times I went in. They remembered me as "the vacationer" during my second visit. They serve both wontons and Cantonese style dumplings here. Both the wontons and dumplings were huge and filled with meat and shrimp. The wontons were very good, maybe better than anything in California. I got takeout both time I went. They packed it nicely. It's a good place. Good people!

I haven't had a nice wonton noodle soup in a long time So…read moreI decided to come here for my fixings. I ordered their two item noodle soup. 1st item: beef brisket 2nd item: wontons The beef brisket was very touch and not tender at all The wonton had an amazing shrimp flavour. The broth was kinda bland at first. Not a good start. But As I continued to finish my meal. I must say the soup broth, the egg noodles and shrimp wontons got better and better with each mouthful bite. The beef brisket was still tough I recommend you avoid this item. Overall all, upon finishing my meal I was thoroughly pleased with this experience. I will be back and recommended for their wontons, again recommend avoiding the beef brisket.

Went for the weekend lunch with 4 adults and had a pretty good experience. The place was really…read morebusy and there were lots of people waiting, so it's clearly popular. You get 1 hour 45 minutes for lunch and can choose 4 soup bases for free, which was nice. We picked sukiyaki, spicy sour soup, tom yum, and beef tallow broth. The food selection wasn't huge, but it still felt worth it for the price. Service was pretty quick even though the restaurant was packed. My favorite was the sukiyaki with beef dipped in the onsen egg. Really tasty overall.

The menu for dinner is quite robust and everyone was able to find multiple things that they enjoyed. I particularly love the japanese glass noodles. It goes amazingly with the tomato or sukiyaki soup base. I also love that they provided us with a soup skimmer so we could get rid of the oils as we continued to cook. Compared to the Scarborough location, I'd say this one felt calmer even though it was still pretty packed. I think it's just the way the booths are spaced out and it's really well staffed. It wasn't a long wait for anything, and always easy to flag someone down if we needed to order or just needed some help. The parking here though is quite difficult compared to the Scarborough location. Theres a ton of competing restaurants and the lot isn't large enough to accomodate all of them. There's more parking in the underground space though so you can walk through the plaza if you like.

We were first time here that we thought this one was same as the Richmond Hill location, but they…read morewere different brands. The menus were similar and also like Hong Kong style cafe. We got the Spicy Pumpkin Sauce fish noodles and Tomato Sauce fish noodles. We also got the diced Golden Toast with condensed milk. All of them were delicious. Here offered the customers extra free noodles when customer was not enough for the original size. There was 15% off while they are currently on 2nd Anniversary Celebration. It's worth to try and find some healthy food.

One of my favorite fish noodle places. They offer a healthier grains noodle, in a rich fish broth…read moresoup. The soup is silky, milky and full of fish flavours. If you're not a fan of natural fish flavours, this might not be the spot for you. But for me, I love the fullness of the soup, and how all the flavours provide a hearty and comforting meal. They also have tomato base, spicy or other options if you're not a fan of fish, but my favorite is probably the original fish broth base. It comes with pieces of white fish. You can also switch it up and have it come with other ingredients such as fish tofu, or brisket. Definitely recommend to come try. There is a bit of a wait often when I come on the weekend but service is quick and speedy, in a typical hk-Asian style. The space is also a converted house so the layout is a bit odd and a bit hot in some corners, but manageable. If you cannot do steep steps, ask the servers to have you seated on the main level.

Big Beef Bowl Hand-Pulled Noodle is such a long standing spot in Markham for a good reason…read more Their lunch is tasty, fast, and inexpensive. $25 lunch combo for two people (Mon, Tues, and Thurs, opens at 11AM). It comes with 1 hot clay pot rice, 1 soup noodle, and a decent sized snack. A few choices for each of these items. Check the menu out. Honestly can't ask for more and this is why it gets jam packed easily at lunch time. Good news is that people are usually eat-and-go without sticking around for long. So even with the crowd, you might be able to get a seat in 10~15 min during the busiest time. Alternatively, quite a bit of people simply call-in for takeout's and Uber. Awesome price-value, decent comfort food with great taste, jam-packed at lunch time. Not a bad choice.

Came by on a nice quiet week night for a bowl of comfy noodles. We had the stir fried pork on their…read moreregular hand pulled noodles to start. It was really oily, though the noodles were really nice and chewy. I found the pool of oil quite difficult to get past though. Next we got the classic beef noodles. We went for the flat, soft noodles which were great. As they state though, it gets really soft and mushy after a bit, so I recommend maybe sticking with the regular chewy noodles. The beef was soft and the radish was sweet. The soup base was comforting in a way but also very heavily salty. I couldn't tell if there was just a lot of MSG in there, but I couldn't sip on the soup much. We also ordered the shan xin bao, which is a fried soup dumpling of sorts. The breading was really thick and the soup was quite sweet. Not really the taste we were use to. We also got the pig ear and cucumbers cold dish. This was absolutely swimming in oil as well. They chop up black bean in there for flavour and it just added a really bitter taste. We didn't end up touching most of this, opting to bring it home, rinse it, and re-season it ourselves instead so the food wouldn't be wasted. All in all, the service is nice. I think the baked rice could be worth a try, but there's a lot of great noodle options in the area I personally prefer. As always, give it a try! They have a lot of great reviews on Yelp, so it potentially just doesn't suit my preferences.

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.

They always close early that we couldn't make it before. This restaurant was not big, but the types of noodles and ingredients were varied enough for different people to be picked. And they do have different packages that customers can add on drinks or soups with cheaper prices. We had 2 different types of noodles, then add on a bottle of milk tea and a bowl of fish ball soup. It didn't take long to get the noodles. It was really tasty. The bottle of milk tea was smooth and really HKG style, just a bit small. The fish ball soup was ok, but it was small too. The original prices for those 2 add on items were a bit expensive, for add on cheaper prices, that's ok. We will still like to come for different noodles.

I had no idea the location was so nice and had ample seating. This is awesome because I work from home and I'm always looking for places to go to work and grab a bite. Service was efficient. I felt bad for my constant changes but I've never even stepped foot inside and there were so many yummy options. I ordered the half portion sandwich and tomato soup. They have a variety of combos which is great. I also got a latte. The sandwich and tomato soup were both satisfying. The latte was a hard pass. It wasn't hot enough and the espresso shot and milk ratio was not great, it ended up tasting like warm milk flavoured with espresso. Only other comment is price. Total was $22 for everything. Overall it was a great first experience and I will return to try something else in the future.
