    Came here to have lunch on Monday. The special was Hainanese chicken with drink for $10.99. I also ordered one meal to go too, the portion for rice in the to go container was huge. It wasn't bad for the value. The popcorn chicken portion was huge. They have different special Mon-fri. It wasn't bad, will come back again to try other specials.

    Taoyuan Neverland is located inside the Langham Square plaza. The plaza gets pretty busy closer to dinner hours but there are ample parking in the underground parking lot. I ordered the popcorn chicken rice with a classic milk tea with Tapioca. The popcorn chicken rice is $12.99 and $3 for a regular sized drink. The portion is quite good for the price. Popcorn chicken is decent and comes freshly made. The rice is a little dry. Would be better if it comes with more meat sauce. For the price, I think it's not bad though. We came here for the 30% off deal. They do have daily specials for $10.99. Service is good and the tables are pretty spacious and clean.

    R13 - Braised Tofu and Fish Fillet Rice
    Ivy L.

    Came at 4p on a Friday looking for early dinner; we ordered AF7 - Garlic Cumin Lamb Skewers, AF9 - Black Pepper Beef Stir Fried Spaghetti, R13 - Braised Tofu Fish Fillet Rice, and AF8 - Satay Grilled Chicken Skewer. Also grabbed a E4 - Curry Sauce Omurice with Chicken Steak, and AF10 - Stir Fried Beef Flat Noodles for take-out! When discussing the drinks/combos, we got a little confused from the wording on the menu while we were ordering and the waitress serving for us was... lack for a better word, a bitch about it. The server lacked clarity and had a real mean attitude. Was giving off annoyed vibes and expressing it outwardly with their voice and their facial expressions; not sure that's the kind of service you're going for in the hospitality industry. I was trying to get my drink changed to a cold one from the dedicated drink and thought I followed the wording but was wrong. The wording on the menu is specifically for HK style drinks being in a cold form. Not a separate cold drink entirely. That was a simple clarification that would have been appreciated instead of the bickering and back and forth fuelled by annoyance. Out of two servers, one is much more pleasant than the other. Food is excellent. Passes the Chinese parent's standards for the cook of the fish and tofu for R13, as well as the peppery-ness of the AF9. The lamb skewers were phenomenal. Ambiance wise, it was cozy and quiet. Not very busy when we came, there were small groups of under 4 after us but no more than 4 tables total even at 4:30pm. Besides the altercation at the start, this place is a gem for the price and size of the food. Tastes great and feels mostly great!

    Hk french toast

    Came here for lunch at 12:30 on a weekend. We got a seat right away but we saw a lineup building as we were eating. We got the hainanese chicken and hk french toast. The food was ok, nothing too special but the price is fair. It seems to share the same kitchen as zenq so they also have bubble tea and dessert on their menu I believe. They have quite a big dining area.

    During this pandemic, one of my pastimes that I have picked up is browsing food apps to decide where I should go to get takeout. Last week, I was looking at my Uber Eats app and noticed that Taoyuan Neverland had a $6 promotion on a couple of items. I did a double-take to see if I was losing my mind. Nope, it was correct. I took advantage of it last Wednesday night. I got the General Tso chicken on rice and the cheesy baked bolognese spaghetti. Each one was indeed $6. This eatery offers Taiwanese and Hong Kong-style dishes. The dishes listed on the menu are extensive. Here's a crazy fact. It takes me roughly six minutes to drive from my home to this place, which is at Langham Square. Have I ever been to this mall before? Nope. Well, I broke this streak at long last. So, there! As usual, when I am getting great deals like these two meals, I feel the need to get something else. Taoyuan Neverland also offers ZenQ bubble tea. The only ZenQ place that I have frequented was the store in downtown Mississauga. I could never find my go-to drink the three visits that I had made there. I got to Langham Square and figured out that this eatery is outside on the second floor. I needed to drive up a shallow ramp to get there. The parking lot is not designed well. Markhamites tend to be poor drivers in general (I need to exclude myself, as I'm a transplant from Toronto, so I know better). Starting them off with a crazy intersection on a ramp incline is horrible! I managed to avoid the confusion that this intersection had brought to two vehicles and got to the eatery. I backed into a parking spot. This mall was pretty dead at around 7 pm on a Wednesday night. However, there was steady business at Taoyuan Neverland, which made me happy. I walked in and said hi to a cheerful woman. I said that I had an Uber Eats order and rattled off the last four digits of my order number. She happily handed a plastic ba with my goodies to me. I thanked her. She reciprocated. I walked out. Sadly, when I placed my food in the backseat of my car, it did take a side tumble. When I corrected my takeout package, everything was intact. There was no sauce spillage. I was highly impressed. I drove home and had dinner. I didn't eat everything. Rather, I had half of each dish for dinner and had the leftovers the following day. Let's start with the bubble tea. The fourth time at ZenQ was the charm. I ordered a large peach iced tea, with no sugar and less ice. It was refreshing, the tea was done just right, the flavours were perfect, and I was a happy camper. I went with the General Tso chicken. I learned from a documentary years ago that General Tso isn't a real guy in history. Anyway, this dish had a hot pepper next to it on the menu. The sauce was sweet and tangy. I didn't taste any heat. I am so used to Hakka food that it didn't have enough heat that I am now used to. It was too sweet. Still, I enjoyed how tender the chicken was. It came with a lot of rice. I couldn't eat all of it. I used the remaining rice to make fried rice, which turned out well. The rice here is good. You simply get a ton of it. I loved the cheesy baked bolognese spaghetti. Spaghetti is comfort food to me. it had the perfect combination of bolognese sauce with the spaghetti and cheese goodness on top. The spaghetti was al dente. I enjoyed how yummy it was. I loved it. It tasted even better the following day. Its regular price is $12. I'd be happy shelling out for full price. The portions here are generous. I am a fan. I will definitely come back to try more items off the menu. It's nice that I can get bubble tea and a good meal at one eatery. (16)

    Noodle Soup with Duck
    Chris C.

    Friday was Jennifer K's birthday and I offered to take her out for lunch, her choice of place. She chose modestly, Taoyuan Neverland, a relatively new place in Markham. Neither one of us had been there before. Apparently, they're associated with ZenQ. I didn't know that and actually walked into the wrong place initially. After looking over the menu for a few minutes, we ordered a noodle soup with BBQ duck and a curry beef brisket with rice, both for sharing. It didn't take long to show up. While the presentation could have used a little work, both dishes had good flavour. They both had a casual and rustic feel to them, especially the brisket. By nature, it's a rustic looking dish anyway. It tasted good, rich with flavour. The soup had meaty pieces of duck breast, which was very much appreciated, along with noodles, and some veggies to make it balanced. Very good. This is comfort food and I would come back to try more of their offerings.

    I'm a fan of their Taiwanese popcorn chicken and and grass jelly milk tea, so I was quite disappointed with this Uber eats order. Perhaps I should not have ordered Malaysian specialties at a Taiwanese restaurant?? 1st I ordered Malaysian chicken but got beef instead.. The Hainanese chicken did not come with any sauce, and the green beans Just tasted weird. I'm still giving it 3 stars because the Hainanese chicken And the rice was still quite good and generously portioned. We've ordered this dish before and disappointed we did not get any sauce this time.

    Updated review June 2022: We have tried takeout from here a few times. Last week tried their dine in. Service is efficient. We tried the chicken skewers, spaghetti bolognese, hainainese chicken, Thai pineapple rice, baked chicken cream rice. Good tasty comfort HK style dishes. They have specials that come with drink for a reduced price. Good selection of shaved ice dessert options. Tried the mango shaved ice and this was delicious. Overall good quick dining option in the area.

    The Yum Report ..

    This restaurant is quite interesting in a sense that it took over the physical location of the dessert chain ZenQ in Langham Square and now operating as though they are partners. Their menu is fairly extensive, including baked rice/spaghetti dishes, Taiwanese style cuisine and various stir fry options. The Japanese grilled beef w/ rice was delicious, the beef was tender and flavorful. With an additional $2, you can select from a short list of drinks as well. However, the food took forever to be served. Japanese Grilled AAA Beef w/ Rice ($14.99) Pineapple Bun + Egg & Luncheon Meat ($5.75) Original Pearl Milk Tea ($2 w/ Meal) @TaoyuanNeverland Price Range: $4.75 - $19.99 IG: #The_Yum_Report

    General tso chicken on rice
    Cee Z.

    Ordered on ubereats with their BOGO special, for the price, I can't complain. Had the general Tso chicken on rice. The portion is not bad and the flavours for the chicken is decent, and it's tender as well. Could use more sauce for the amount of rice. A quick no fuss meal, but nothing spectacular

    Taoyuan Neverland is a Taiwanese cafe that also offers some HK cafe favourites. It is located in the Langham Square plaza, at the same location that ZenQ occupied. The restaurant has a clean, modern vibe with a decent amount of seating and a wheelchair accessible washroom. Taoyuan Neverland has a much more extensive menu than the previous ZenQ offered, but the same selection of bubble teas and drinks are available. They have a pretty good lunch special menu, where for $10-$13 you can get a main and a drink. I came here on a Wednesday night with my niece and nephew. My niece ordered popcorn chicken with rice which came with some pickled greens and steamed broccoli. The popcorn chicken pieces were sizeable and well seasoned without being overly salty. My nephew had the shredded chicken noodle soup. It came in a large bowl with some steamed yu choy and tomatoes. There was a lot of chicken and noodles in the soup. My nephew devoured more than half the bowl. I ordered the pan seared beef with rice. It came with a runny sunny side up egg and broccoli. I quite enjoyed the beef and the sauce it was served with. Just wish the egg was less runny. Taoyuan Neverland is a great new cafe that offers a great selection of Taiwanese and HK style cuisine. Will definitely be back with the hubby and the family to try more of their menu offerings.

    Pros: Extensive menu Everything from Zen Q is also available Cons: Portion sizes could be better My family has always been a fan of Zen Q. They offered a couple of entrees and snacks but I would never consider them a full on restaurant to bring the family to. Taoyuan Neverland fixes all that. Combining with Zen Q into one location, it offers the same great items that Zen Q offered with a whole new level of options for dining in as well. Taoyuan Neverland is not the biggest space. They do manage to fit in as many seats as possible. It's a little tight in some areas, but you can maneuver around OK as long as you're careful. This place is pretty packed during peak hours, so come prepared for a little wait if you come during those times. Taoyuan Neverland's menu is as extensive as any HK style cafe menu I have ever seen. There's also a plethora of Taiwanese style entrees as well. They also have a good amount of specials throughout the day. They had so much to offer than I had a pickle of time deciding what I wanted to order. The prices are all pretty in line with what you expect. Food comes out pretty quickly after you order it. In terms of comparing it against Zen Q in the past, it's much better. I never liked the noodles at Zen Q before. The noodles now offered are better. It's not the best you'll ever find, but it's up there with all the other HK style cafes. All the drinks you've had at Zen Q are still here so you get the best of both worlds. My only gripe was the portion sizes. They were on the smaller side, though I am a big eater. Zen Q was never in my thoughts as a dining option. With Taoyuan Neverland, I can now definitely put it up there for eating out.

    Cheesy baked Bolognese spaghetti ($12.99 dinner combo)
    Abby L.

    After ZenQ's renovation, they reopened jointly with the new name and updated decor. This restaurant has a really big variety in the menu, covering everything from Taiwanese, HK cafe style, to South East Asian style while continuing to carry the desserts and drinks from ZenQ. We ordered a cheesy Bolognese spaghetti combo which includes the meal and a drink, and appetizer of popcorn chicken and an extra tofu pudding drink with tapioca. I would definitely recommend the tofu drink, it's unique and one of my favourite bubble teas. The popcorn chicken was crispy and the spaghetti was very homey. I'd be interested in coming back to try the other styles of cuisine next time!

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.

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. What we were most impressive was with the service. The waiters were very attentive, changing our plates twice during our 1ish hour meal. The also gave us wet wipes and more napkins without us requesting it. They even offered us additional soup, which we declined as we were quite full.

You can tell they get high quality food deliveries from their vendors. The noodles were just ok. Their specialties lie in the steak and seafood. Its pricey but good experience to try at least once if you're in the area.

The whole showing of the lobsters & crab before they cook it, tower of HK style fried lobster, and lots of accompanying Chinese dishes can be a crowd pleaser. Personally for me- there wasn't a lot of pay off of crab meat after wrestling at its shell. The lobster was good but the flavour was disguised from all the deep friedness & oil. Apparently the bed of fries used to be a higher quality side in the past too.

    New Century will feed a large group. Their lobster, Dungeness crab, and sea bass combo for eight…read more($798) would satisfy ten or twelve. 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.

    Very good dim sum! Super large restaurant with huge screen TVs. Great friendly service. Definitely…read morewill come back!

    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.

The portions are large and great for sharing. If you can handle spicy, grab a friend that can also handle it and you're in for a good time here. Note that this place only accepts cash and debit.

Wait list is old school...someone writes your name and number in a notebook and you are called when your table is ready. The interior is reminiscent of the old school taverns you see in those old Chinese movies where the traveller has spent days walking or on a horse and comes upon a tavern where the interior is all wooden tables and benches. Dining style and dishes are all family style. You order a couple of dishes and then add rice. Spice level can be adjusted and even at 'less' the heat level was high. Definitely generous use of Szechwan peppercorns! Food is very flavourful and depending on preference some might find the oil level high. The clientele is mainly Mandarin speaking and if you are Asian they will immediately communicate in Mandarin with you but I did see the staff switch to English where needed. Service was patient and attentive.
