January 18, 2025 - I got the baked black pepper chicken on rice with cheese. My girlfriend got the cheesy baked BBQ pork on rice topped with a fried egg. In my opinion, I was not the biggest fan of the rice. It tasted a bit stale to me and the rice was a bit hard. I tried my best to coat it in the sauce to cover the taste. The chicken and sauce were fine however. Overall serviceable, but not my favorite.

I can't seem to find restaurants serving up good hk style baked rice anymore but fortunately, wood stone is one of the few still doing these classic dishes right. Set meal or diy options available. My go to is the baked fish rice with Portuguese sauce. Vegetarian friendly as well. Casual spot and busy on the weekend so expect a short wait.

The decor is nice and modern cozy. Someone put since time and effort into creating this space. I really wanted to like this place. The menu seems to combine Cantonese favorites and some HK style western dishes. On the recommendation of the waitress (this should be something they are known for or is very popular... but i don't know of this was the case) I tried the stay beef rice noodle soup. Since it was a set meal it came with a drink which was nice. The flavor was OK... but I can't say it would get me to come back. The portion was OK... but I kinda felt it was recommended because it's the cheapest to make and with the soup will be filling. It was all ok... but if this is "the recommendation" it didn't wow me in any way to make me feel I have to come back and try other things too. I know that can be a tall order without knowing palette preferences but that's what asking questions to me could guide the recommendation. I get it the server was busy and can't spend all their time on me so for now it'll have to be 3 stars until/if I eat there again. I think I have to try some other items on the menu

Located right on woodbine and apple creek. This place is in the plaza with Mine sushi and pho restaurant. This place gets busy but they have plenty of seats. Kind of like a fast food HK restaurant. They have a cute menu which I forgot to take a pic of that isn't ripped/dirty as some Chinese restaurants I've been to. They offer a build your own baked dish which is incredible because I love baked with rice dishes. I got the chicken for the first time with added mushroom. Cost is reasonable around $15. I will be coming here again for sure.

My new favourite HK cafe! Better yet, the owners are Macanese -- so their menu also offers authentic dishes from Macao, which is so hard to find here. Clearly beloved already as it was very crowded and our table of 6 had to wait a while for a table. The space is large but fills quickly. You self-check-in at the door, and wait patiently for staff to call your name. It's analog but works! The staff are super friendly here. Our party of 6 enjoyed all the food and drinks! My faves were the classic pork chop rice (with extra fried egg on top) and Portugese chicken rice. My drink of choice was a hot fresh ginger lemon honey drink -- spicy from the ginger and so warming for these winter days! Can't wait to return and try more dishes -- especially the Macanese ones!

Came here on a weekend right after 12pm. Luckily the weather was terrible so got a table fairly quickly. The restaurant is much smaller than I thought and the tables were awfully close to each other. A guy was wearing his jacket and his jacket literally hit my arm but he didn't apologize - how rude! In terms of food, got two "baked" dishes to try. Both were tasty and it came with a free drink. Cold lemon tea was $1.99 extra. Both dishes were around $14.50-$16.00. Reasonable portion and tasty too!

Baked BBQ Pork on Rice and Spicy BBQ Chicken Steak on Potatoes
Kirsten E.

I've never been too into the thought of baked dishes like so, but a friend pushed me to try the baked BBQ pork on rice, and I was completely sold! The sauce was so rich and flavourful! I added a bit of the Chicken Steak to the rice as well, and that added a nice punch to it all. The gravy for the chicken was insanely good too! I'm so glad I tried this place out, and these dishes are a must get when I go again. It's very popular so it's best to try to book a reservation ahead of time! And they will give you your receipts when you look finished during rush hour to keep the flow moving, but the servers are so kind and respectful and want to ensure a good time.

2.5 stars We used to eat here quite a bit and haven't been in several years. We went during the weekday lunch rush are so there were quite a few customers, but many tables are still available. The acoustics are terrible inside the restaurant. It's so loud. You have to speak very loudly to people you're dining with to be heard. The baked chicken in Portuguese sauce on rice with cheese came out looking good. However, the sauce was too salty and the chicken bland. I suppose they didn't season the chicken. We were a bit shocked with the portion size of the salt and pepper calamari. For $12, I expected more (or maybe I just expected too much?). The coating on the calamari was soft and not crispy and it was so bland. Also, the calamari was on the chewy side. I suspect they get these frozen. Overall, we were disappointed and will not be returning.

Baked chicken with black pepper sauce on rice
Carol Y.

Updated overall rating: 4.4/5 Recently returned twice for breakfast and weekend lunch, and the food did not disappoint! Breakfast: I had a classic HK breakfast of macaroni in soup with ham & and fried egg. The bowl is deeper than it looks by the way. For those of you who haven't had this dish before, let me just say that there is an art to a good macaroni ham soup. The soup can't be too salty, and the macaroni needs to retain its texture (not al dente, but definitely not mushy either) - and this dish hit all the boxes. Lunch: Incredibly filling - I finally got around to trying their famous spicy bbq chicken thigh steak, and it is as delicious as advertised! The chicken was huge and packed with spiced flavour. If you want to soak up the juices and gravy, definitely go for the spaghetti/rice instead of the fried potatoes. The curry beef brisket bread bowl is a new menu item, and it was also much bigger than we anticipated. I love that they included extra curry on the side to soak up all that soft, yet sturdy bread bowl. The curry isn't watered down or too thick, and you get nice sized chunks of tender beef brisket. Barely any veggies in sight for both dishes, which you can decide if that's a pro/con ;) Honestly, the only thing keeping this place from a 5 star review is that it is a little bit pricier (especially with my macaroni soup) than other HK-style cafes, but then again, their menu is more unique!

I've heard many good things about Woodstone eatery so I just had to see what the hype was for my friends. Its a nice change of pace to see a HK style cafe menu utilize a lot of modern design and very high quality photos, which lead me to choose the bbq pork on rice with cheese ontop. However, what I received was quite different from what was pictured and I was expecting a more tender cut of pork. Looking at photos from other diners, I might come back to try their breakfast menu but perhaps I set my expectations a bit high.

If you are looking for another place for HK food, you should check out this spot. There is ample room to park (though I recommend making sure your car door is locked given some recent car break-ins). The service was quick and straight forward. We didn't have to wait too long (5-10 mins). Be prepared to be seated closely with others. The portion size was enough for a meal and comes with a tea. I got the baked spaghetti bolognese with chicken filet with cheese. Very flavourful and had lots of chicken!

classic bbq pork
Joyce K.

Woodstone Eatery is an asian fusion restaurant located in the busy Apple Creek plaza. Despite a seemingly large parking lot, we struggled to find parking during lunchtime on the Friday before Christmas. Fortunately, there was a table for 6 open when we entered. We decided to go family-style, so we ordered the fried salt and pepper wings, macau style stewed beef brisket udon in soup, hainanese chicken on rice, chicken pad thai, baked fish fillet on spaghetti in tomato sauce w cheese, and classic bbq pork. The wings were nicely fried, but were pretty small in my opinion. The chicken on rice was nicely presented and I was a fan of the chicken pad thai, which was a bit spicy! My personally favorite was the fish with spaghetti and the classic BBQ pork was also very tasty and flavorful! Overall, the menu was very extensive and I would definitely recommend it! I hope to come back in the future to try other items on their menu!

Initially we were going for the idea of breakfast, but timing was a bit off from what we anticipated and it was a really nice lunch date instead. I love the Markham Marriott, the staff is always warm and welcoming. Draco has a very sleek, sophisticated and cozy atmosphere. We both ordered Bacon & Cheddar burgers. I opted for a Caesar salad as an appetizer and hubby ordered their Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak. Let's start with the apps. The Caesar salad was SO good! I wish I had taken a pic, but admittedly, my phone was tucked away and I was caught up in the cozy seating, great food and Christmas vibes of the restaurant and lobby. Grilled Wagyu Flat Iron Steak: $33 - Buttercup Squash Puree and Truffle Oil - Everything you want Wagyu to be - tender, cooked to the perfect temp which left a nice warm red centre. This was melt in your mouth good! The burgers - these were perfection! Draco Bacon Cheddar Burger: $25 - Aged Cheddar with Crispy Bacon Strips; Crispy Onion Straws, Arugula and Garlic Aioli. This was a very well seasoned patty, so juicy and a substantial sized patty of fresh not frozen beef. The bun was lightly toasted, bacon crispy, easily taking this into my top 3 fav spots for burgers! Options for sides include fries, sweet potato fries, poutine, side Caesar or garden salad or truffle fries. We finished off our meal with 2 really good cappuccinos and just took our time before heading home. This was our first time back here in a few years. The food was exceptional as was the service and the warm staff. Draco is the perfect spot for an early morning breakfast, work or lunch date or a nice cozy dinner. They also have Christmas & New Years dinners and brunches. Relax in the restaurant with drinks or in the adjacent lounge, this is a great spot to unwind with some great food and drinks.

Despite seated near the door, it was well insulated and I never felt cold. The seating is still bar-like, with metal chairs over something more comfortable. The menu offers both HK-style cafe dishes and western seafood-oriented dishes. Staff appears to understand limited Chinese, and they double checked what our group ordered for drinks. I decided to go for the baked seafood spaghetti with cold Dutch tea (both hot and cold drinks are at the same price!). The presentation was a bit messy but flavourful. I wish the staff gave extra plate for me to place the empty oyster and clam shell rather than pushing them to the edge of my plate. The staff never gave us any water until we asked. The good thing is, they never rushed us to pay and our group chatted for a long time. Price wise, it was excellent. Service wise, could be improved.

Hmmm where do I start?…read more The waiter seemed great but clueless. He didn't really know how to take an alcoholic drink order. He didn't know the flavour differences in each of the sauces for the boil. Seems like you just have to know what you want and order it. They seemed short staffed there. Getting anyone's attention was difficult. We got a pound of the shrimp and a pound of clams. Nothing to rave about. Not amazing but not horrible. The sauce seemed one dimensional and flat. For this type of meal, I want a flavour explosion but Good Catch fell short. Not sure if this is the place I'd hit again if I wanted a mean seafood boil.

When we arrived, the place was already quite full. We were greeted by a friendly staff member, who took us to a seat facing the window. She asked if we have been here before, and we let her know that it was our first time visiting the cafe. She let us know that at night, the cafe turns into a lounge! She brought us the menu, pitcher of cold water, and two glasses. Then she let us know that once we are ready, we can scan the QR Code on the table to place our orders. The menu had lots of exciting items, after a few minutes, we placed our orders- my friend chose the Curry Katsu Benny and I picked the Mushroom and Cheese Omelette with Iced Lemon Tea. When our orders arrived, we could not wait to eat! My friend said that her dish was yummy- the katsu was juicy, the bread was soft yet firm, plus the salad was fresh. I enjoyed my dish as well- the omelette had good amount of mushrooms and cheese, so every bite was tasty. Also, the drink was refreshing and lightly sweet, which was great. In addition, the bear (made out of sugar) hanging by the rim was beary cute! During our meal, our waitress came by a few times to ensure that we had enough napkins and cold water. Good vibes, friendly service and yummy food, I look forward to returning again.

I had a very disappointing experience at Ichiban Markham today. The food was good, but the customer…read moreservice was very poor, especially from the manager, Kitty. When I called to make the reservation, the staff member was already impatient. I had several questions because I had two young children with me--one only one month old and the other two years old. I specifically asked for a high chair and space for a stroller, but she said she was too busy to discuss these details. When we arrived, our table was surrounded by sofas, with no space for a stroller or high chair. We were late because we had two babies to take care of, and there was an accident and heavy traffic on the way. When we arrived, Kitty immediately blamed us for being late and told us that our reservation was at 6:00 PM and that we had to leave at 7:30 because another customer was coming. I understand that we were late, but her attitude was extremely rude, harsh, and unprofessional. She spoke to us in an accusatory way instead of calmly explaining the situation. There were also several problems with how the reservation was handled. First, the information about the reservation "sitting time" was misleading and inconsistent. When I made the reservation, I was specifically told that the "order sitting time" was 1.5 hours. I asked more than once to clarify, and I was told this meant we needed to place our food order within that time. I was never told that we would have to leave exactly 1.5 hours after our reservation time. However, when we arrived, Kitty told us that because our reservation was at 6:00 PM, even if we arrived later, we would still have to leave at 7:30 PM. She also specifically said this policy applied only to customers with reservations. This was completely different from what we had been told over the phone. Second, the reservations are scheduled far too tightly, with no reasonable buffer between bookings. It is unrealistic to expect every customer to arrive exactly on time. Unexpected delays can happen due to traffic, accidents, parking, or other unforeseen circumstances, especially for families with young children. A restaurant should allow reasonable flexibility and have some buffer time between reservations rather than treating the reservation time as an inflexible deadline. If the restaurant intends to enforce a strict 1.5-hour seating limit starting from the reservation time, regardless of when the customer actually arrives, this should be clearly communicated at the time of booking. Customers should not learn about such an important restriction only after arriving. Third, even though we were late, nobody called to confirm whether we were still coming or remind us about the seating time. We only learned about the restriction after arriving, and it was communicated in a very unfriendly manner. When I asked to speak with someone above Kitty, she became even more upset, said she did not want to talk to us, and walked away. For a manager, this was extremely disappointing. A manager should be able to communicate calmly and professionally with customers, even when the restaurant is busy. We were paying customers celebrating my father's birthday, with two very young children. We came to enjoy a meal, not to be treated disrespectfully. Thankfully, another staff member, Lily (I believe that was her name, a tall woman with a braid), stepped in and helped calm the situation. We really appreciated her kindness. The food and variety were actually quite good, which makes the poor customer service even more disappointing. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and provides Kitty with proper customer-service training. Being busy is understandable, but it is never an excuse to treat customers rudely.

It's located in the same plaza as Smash Kitchen and has a large, free parking lot. Despite how busy the plaza was, we had minimal trouble finding a spot. We made a reservation for 7:00 p.m. for a group of eight and were seated immediately upon arrival. They use iPads for ordering, and I appreciated that our table was given two iPads with different table numbers. It meant dishes were delivered to the correct side of the table, rather than having everyone ask who had ordered what. It was extremely busy, likely because it was the Sunday of the Civic Holiday long weekend, but the staff remained attentive throughout our visit. They were quick to respond when we had questions about our orders, acknowledged our thanks, and followed up well. Some dishes took a little longer to arrive, but order accuracy was consistently high. I also liked that the iPad clearly showed how many pieces came with each order, and the portions matched exactly what we received, making it easy to avoid over-ordering. Overall, the food was fresh and tasty. A few of the specialty rolls were a bit heavier on the sauce than we would have preferred, but everything else was enjoyable. We also appreciated the small self-serve station with salad, soup, fruit, puddings, and ice cream, which added a nice traditional buffet feel to the experience. One thing to note is that drinks are not included in the AYCE price, with only water and tea being complimentary. That said, the staff were very attentive with refills, and empty plates were cleared promptly throughout the meal. The only real drawback for us was the noise level. The restaurant was very loud, making it difficult to carry on conversations at our table. It was likely amplified by how busy the restaurant was, but it's something to keep in mind if you're hoping for a quieter dining experience. The two-hour seating limit is also closely monitored. We received a reminder around the 1.5-hour mark, along with notice that last call for orders was approaching, so it's worth keeping an eye on the time if you plan on taking your time.
