    One of the worst food I have ever tasted in my whole life. I got the chicken wings, the fish grouper and the chicken, and jello dessert. The saving grace of this meal was the dessert which was phenomenal, every other dish was laced with Scheuwan peppercorn which ruined the whole dish. The chicken was terrible it was cold, I have no idea how people like this place, and a lot of the stuff on the dinner menu they did not have. I will never come to this place

    Thank you to the wonderful staff for their hospitality and great patience as they helped our small group navigate their great menu. It was our first visit to this restaurant and considering we have low spicy tolerance & only spoke / read English, they helped pick out the best dishes for us! I love how these dishes are un-typical of what one expects for Chinese food - being that it is Szechuan based. All the picks from the staff were definitely new-to-us and we loved them ALL! The non-spicy fish soup had plenty of deboned (!) fish soup (no bones!), with its broth having a a wonderfully subtle yet flavourful taste! The 'mouthwatering' chicken was only slightly spicy and thankfully it was enough for us to enjoy. Their house fruit tea is amazing and has a unique combo on flavours which I would love to take home, but its only available for sit-down service They even gave the bday girl a free noodles take-home dish! Love their take-home packaging and all their branding I can't wait to bring others here! We came upon this restaurant by happen-stance & are so happy we did!

    Located at the corner of McCowan and Highway 7 in the restaurant plaza. There is a smaller lot in the front but with all the restaurants side by side, park in the back to save your sanity to enjoy the foods later. Once you walk in, you are greated in a large lobby with plenty of seating and an open area to the kitchen area to watch the cooking wizardry happening. The staff is very friendly and gets you seated expeditiously. You scan the table QR for ordering and the menu is available in both Chinese and English (with pictures) The food is prepared and served quite fast and the quality is A-OK. Some have a pretty good kick to them so be warned.

    Shredded chicken in chili oil

    Was waiting for this place to open and was not disappointed in their dishes, especially the sauerkraut fish! The interior is beautifully renovated. They can't seat larger parties than 7-8 since they don't have any bigger tables and you can't shift their tables to combine (they're bolted to the floor). Came with a part of 10 and we had to sit separately sadly. You get complimentary floral tea if you're into that, although it was not for me. Food here is delicious. The sauerkraut fish is super numbing spice, but so worth it and so good! here's some of the things we got: Fried wings 5/5 - A must get starter. Super crispy and glistening when it comes out. Served with a honey mustard sauce on the side. Spicy boneless chicken feet 3/5 - Not as spicy as you'd think since it's in a bowl of chili oil. Think this okay, but can skip on this. Crispy pork with chili powder 4/5 - Fried to perfection and a great side dish for sharing. Cut into small strips. Sauerkraut fish 5/5 - The ultimate star of the meal! This obviously is a must get if you come here. It comes in different sizes, if you get the largest size, their staff all gather around your table when serving the dish and chants a song - FUN! The fish is nice and bouncy, the soup is the numbing type of spice but so delicious. TIP: do the add ons inside the sauerkraut fish, especially the fresh noodles! Cold noodle 4/5 - Refreshing and delicious, but nothing too special. Snowpeas 5/5 - One of the rare non-spicy options. It comes in a clear broth and is very pleasant to the palette. Hand shredded chicken 5/5 - Comes served swimming in a bowl of chili oil. Not as spicy as it looks and has a wonderful complex taste. Mango sago 5/5 - A must get! Looked amazing and also was such a great end to the meal. Big chunks of mango and the perfect mango sago. Grass jelly dessert 4/5 - Not as good as the mango sago, but also refreshing with the grass jelly. I can't wait to come back for that sauerkraut fish. It's so delicious and their sides are elite! Definitely a must try especially since it's so new to Markham!

    Spicy chicken with peppers

    Long waited Taier Suancai Fish has finally opened at Toronto, they have this Markham and Scarborough locations. We sat down for lunch today, ordered the $60 combo for 2 - includes suancai fish, spicy chicken with mixed veggies, cold noodles with spice, Chinese veggies, deep fried dough, rice and dessert. Service was great, they have non spicy version for Suancai fish and kids meal, will definitely be back!!!

The use of traditional elements, paper-cut window designs, red Spring Festival couplets, old-style newspaper wall coverings, and exposed brick adds a strong sense of nostalgia. It feels immersive and intentional, almost like stepping into a countryside home in Dongbei rather than a typical restaurant. The décor isn't fancy, but it's rich in cultural detail and warmth, perfectly matching the hearty, comforting style of Northeast Chinese cuisine. The space is unique and perfect for taking photos. The food here is very generous. We ordered the 4-person set with two side pots. Tomato Braised Beef Brisket and Chicken Stewed with Mushrooms and the portions were huge. Both pots arrived steaming hot and filled to the brim, clearly meant for sharing. The braised beef was rich and hearty, while the chicken pot was comforting and full of flavor, making it perfect for group dining or cold weather meals. Combined with the rustic, traditional décor, it really feels like authentic Northeast Chinese comfort food. The food and atmosphere were excellent, though the service was a bit lacking. Prices are reasonable for the generous portion sizes and the unique restaurant décor.

If you're looking to broaden your palette of Chinese food, this place should be on your list.

    We went there for a pre-Father's Day dinner and left disappointed. This was actually our third or…read morefourth visit, and unfortunately each experience has been worse than the last. I was hoping to find something special on the menu. The Peking duck caught my eye at around $70, but then I discovered that almost everything else was extra--lettuce wraps, stir-fried duck meat, fried rice, and soup. By the time you add the extras, the bill is easily another $50 or more, bringing the total to well over $120. We decided to pass, and judging from the dishes we did order, that was probably the right decision. The hot and sour soup had plenty of heat and tang but lacked depth of flavor and was under-seasoned for my taste. Fortunately, we only ordered a small bowl. The deep-fried tofu was bland and forgettable. The stir-fried shrimp was acceptable but nothing special. The biggest disappointment was the sweet and sour pork. I specifically asked the server to make sure the pork was crispy, but it arrived soft and lumpy rather than light and crunchy. Even the complimentary red bean dessert soup was watery and lacked flavor. Our bill came to about $104 for two people. For the quality of the food, I didn't feel it offered good value. Sadly, after several disappointing visits, I don't think we'll be returning.

The lid on my shredded potato salad wasn't on properly and the sauce leaked through my Fantuan bag. The food gets five stars. Sadly, the lid on my potato salad wasn't securely on the container. I had my food in my insulated bag, so the sauce leaked into the Fantuan bag and my insulated bag. Luckily, my car was fine. As a result, my rating is four stars. I wanted to try a new eatery. I looked at my Fantuan app and noticed He Bei Chinese Cuisine. It had dumplings and snacks that I enjoy, so I said yes to placing a dinner order from this eatery. I ordered these items: - Pork and chive steamed dumplings (large has 14 dumplings) - Tea eggs - Shredded potato salad On Fantuan, when you purchase $15 worth of food, you get the shredded potato salad for a cent. Deal! After placing my order near my home, I drove over to this eatery. The drive was ten minutes. I was given an estimated time of fifteen minutes. It was ready in ten minutes. I had no problem finding this eatery. There was plenty of parking. I pulled into a spot and walked in. I saw the Yubu sign. My heart sank, as I loved the Korean tofu pockets from this joint. I liked seeing places to sit down and eat at He Bei. Nice! A woman behind the counter came over. I said that I had a Fantuan order. She talked to me in Mandarin. I don't understand it, but we were fine communicating with each other in our languages. She pointed out the blue Fantuan bag on the table behind me. I thanked her and wished her a nice day. She said thanks right back. I put my food in my insulated bag. With the leak, I managed to launder the Fantuan bag and clean my insulated bag. After I cleaned up, I had dinner at home. The food was amazing and filling! I loved the shredded potato salad. Sure, a lot of the sesame-soy sauce was gone. However, it tasted yummy. It was worth the cent! The steamed pork and chive dumplings were so good. I didn't dunk them in soy sauce. The filling had so much moisture that I felt like I was eating soup dumplings. The filling had yummy flavour and the dumplings were steamed to perfection. Excellent! You can buy frozen dumplings from this place. I'll need to do it. The tea eggs were the perfect snack while streaming hockey games. I peeled the shells off both of them. The eggs were cracked to allow the amazing soy-based sauce to marinate and get into the eggs. Delicious! I'm a fan. I'll take a closer look at the lids on my food next time. I'm glad that I put food in my insulated bag. It saved cleaning my car's upholstery! (59)

Since this Chef 88 is opened until 1am, I think this place will get busier as the night progresses. We weren't super hungry as well ate something for tea time. So we ordered Maggi Lobster (~3lbs) for $34/lb, and stir fried beef with Chinese broccoli (gai lan). The lobster was cooked perfectly, with the Maggi sauce not being too salty. They definitely gave us all the pieces of the 3lbs lobster. The gai lan had a bitter aftertaste, which is common for this vegetable. I wished they had a way to get rid of that. They were generous with the amount of beef and was well marinated. The cut wasn't that great, but that is to be expected. I don't think they added much MSG or at least used good quality ones, as we did not feel overly thirsty later in the evening. They give free daily soup and dessert.

The individual New Century slow boiled soup is hardest to share but secure some empty bowls and you can divide the hefty portion. In the winter, there's a silkiness to the piping hot consommé that sooths a dry throat and has an umami essence infused with abalone, ginseng, and pork. There's plenty to choose from in the house signature combo platter including roasted duck, soy sauce chicken, BBQ pork, pork slices, and seaweed salad. Saving my stomach for the later dishes, I had a taste of the duck (a good start with crispy skin) and BBQ pork (satisfactory and well flavoured). With the generous portion of chicken in the combo platter, the slow cooked chicken with abalone broth seemed like overkill. I've never been a huge fan of this dish that's served cold since I prefer chicken hot. Still, I understand it's the jelly layer between the skin and meat that people enjoy. And to be fair, the chicken was tender, and New Century certainly didn't skimp on the ginger and scallion oil. For those who tend to fill-up before the "main dishes", the stars of the combo arrive mid-meal. The stir-fried Vancouver crabs with silver fish in HK style spicy sauce needs to be eaten at arrival as the crunchy coating is best straight from the fryer. And despite not looking spicy, the dish has a light heat that permeates in the background. Additionally, the crab was fresh and meaty, cooked well so it remained delicately flakey. The amount of sweet and sticky sauce used in the stir-fried lobsters with scallion in Maggie sauce was well balanced, lightly covering the crustaceans. Both lobsters were substantial; even after eating many pieces, we still had plenty of leftovers. This is a long review head to Gastro World for the rest.

    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.
