Simply excited to find the taste from home! Food and drink (4.5/5) - Saddam Pork Rice: Growing up in Macau, this is probably what I had weekly as a kid, and certainly this dish reminded me of home! - Portuguese Bacalhau Cod Fish Cake: Again another childhood memory, something not only I ate but also cooked with my family in the kitchen - Woodstone certainly didn't skim on the bacalhau pieces and deep-fried them perfectly - Milk tea: Can't say it was the best I had but tasted how it should Service (4/5) - Friendly staff Ambience (3.5/5) - Cozy, more space than I thought - However, more crowded than I would like - was assigned at a table without any plexi glass and pretty much right next to the neighbouring tables with a half-foot gap Overall great experience - much like walking down the childhood memory lane! read more

A fusion Hong Kong Style Cafe, they added other choices on the traditional HK Cafe menu. I ordered the Baked Portuguese Chicken Rice, the combo comes with a regular hot drink of your choice. The place is new and clean. Service is quick, food arrived within 10 minutes even with a baked dish. My wife ordered the beef brisket udon, and the beef brisket is soft and taste incredibly good. You can also buy a VIP card for $20 and the card get you 10% off on your next visit for 1 year. read more

Woodstone Eatery - Baked Portguause Sauce with Chicken Rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Came here for lunch with some old friends. It was for a group of 6 adults and two kids without resrvations. The service was excellent and the staff extremely attentive and accommodating. We arrived at 1130ish on a Sunday and the place quickly got busy right after 12pm. The menu wasn't sophisticated, and reminded me of a slightly more westernized version of the Chinese cafes eh. Phoenix. The food tasted pretty good and decent flavour. Prices weren't expensive either considering the meal came with a drink for around 12 bux. I had the porkchop pasta with cheese but the winner was my friends oven chicken. Full of flavour All in, not a bad place at all and I'd definitely consider coming back to explore the rest of their menu. I wouldn't recommend for big groups though. read more

My new go to! Food: 5/5 Soooo good. Service: 5/5 Fast even tho they are often busy. Environment: 5/5 Nice and clean. Sometimes busy Washrooms: 4/5 Fine. Worth it?: 5/5 YES I am literally here once or twice a week. This is now my go to place pre post workout and when I don't know what I want. There is a family vibe and we have gotten to know one of the staff there. The menu is very good and a remix of traditional HK cafe food. My favorites are the beef bristket sandwich and the backed BBQ with cheese. I love this place so I will definitely be back. See you there Thursday? read more

Very disappointed; We reached there around 8:20, as soon as we sat down, this particular unfriendly waitress asked us to order right a way while my daughter and mom was still in the washroom. The menu had many selection, I didn't even get a chance to read it all, she was very impatient staring at me, waiting for me to order, I'm so embarrassed, I just randomly pick few dishes. A few minutes after we got our food, she came again saying they close at 9, rushing us to eat as quickly as possible. It was really an unpleasant experience. I didn't know they close at 9. They should not have let customers in after 8. I could have gone to somewhere else to enjoy a nice dinner. I paid 15% service charge which worth not a penny. read more

HK-style food in a rustic chic environment. Service was great and the dishes we tried were all delicious. The options on their menu are a bit more limited than the average HK-style restaurant and prices are definitely higher than most places, but I feel they do make up for these caveats with the quality and presentation of their food. We had the following: BBQ pork with fried egg on rice Portuguese chicken with rice Hainanese chicken with rice Overall the three dishes were tasty and would reorder! Can't wait to come back and try other dishes on the menu. read more

Came here for breakfast as it is until 11:15. The restaurant looks very pretty inside compared to typical Chinese restaurants and had a modern and younger vibe to it. They play light casual music inside. After ordering the food came quickly in cute trays Egg and pork chop vermicelli was just typical didn't have anything special to it came with some random onions. Pork chop was decent. It was a little pricey considering you get a small portion with a drink for $7.75 3/5 Got the beef brisket and instant noodle. The flavour was pretty good but the instant noodles were undercooked and a little hard. I just waited a couple minutes for it to cook in the soup. Doesn't come with a anything else in the bowl but has some green onions and cilantro $7.75 3/5 Overall this place is decent but I wouldn't come back for breakfast again because it was quite expensive but I would try the lunch read more

Yesterday I went to this restaurant with hong kong style cuisines. This was my second time to visit but was incredibly disappointed with its service. No attendant took care of you and they only care when you check and how much tip you pay. No.1# I ordered a soda but it didn't come until I nearly finish my dinner. I asked many times but no one cared. No.2# When I checked, the attendant emphasized debit card even if I had taken out of a visa debit. It made me feel like I am a theft, very terrible. No.3# When I said thank you for their service. No response or reply. The attendant was rude and impolite. Finally, I would like to say, I don't want to be there anymore and I will tell my terrible experience to my friends and my chat groups. I feel like paying for being tortured. read more

A modern style HK style cafe! DECOR: 5/5 Unlike most HK style cafes, this place is nicely decorated and is extremely clean! The restaurant itself isn't huge but they have a statement "bamboo wall" to separate the space to fit more tables. Everything from the tables to the chairs feels more cafe instead of "cha chan teng" FOOD: 4/5 There's a huge magazine style menu that is a little overwhelming. We ordered the spaghetti Bolognese ($9.99) and the Macau style bbq chicken steak ($15.50). They both came included with a hot coffee/tea, but you can upgrade to a cold HK milk tea for +$1.50. The spaghetti was pretty good, the sauce was very meaty and not as watery/ketchupy as a lot of other HK cafes. The star of the show is definitely the Macau style chicken steak though. The chicken is grilled well, the skin is super crisp, and the meat is juicy. It also comes with a side of spicy gravy to dip/pour. SERVICE: 4/5 Service is also friendly for a HK style cafe. The service was a bit slow because of how packed the restaurant was, but the staff is very friendly and polite. They have a button system on each table to call for water/service but I'm not sure how effective it was. I'm glad I finally found a nice HK style cafe to dine in at! read more

Woodstone Eatery - Asian Fusion Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Tried this for lunch today after it was described to me as a "fusion cha chaan teng" which it pretty much is - HK/ Macau style of affordable comfort foods with a modernized approach. The menu is HUGE which was perfect for a picky eater like me. What I ordered: - Spicy beef shank noodle soup (rice noodle) - Baked black pepper chicken on rice with cheese - HK iced lemon tea - HK iced milk tea The soup was not as beefy and heart as I was expecting. I chose rice noodles and they soaked up so much of my broth. The broth was more Sichuan-style soup as I could definitely taste the Sichuan peppercorns, so if you're looking for a beef soup like Magic Noodle or Deer Garden this is not it. Because this is a HK-style eatery I was pretty disappointed because I'm not a fan of the peppercorns and was not expecting that flavour. The baked chicken rice dish was amazing wow!! The gravy-like pepper sauce was so savoury and the melted cheese on top really made this an extremely delicious and hearty dish that actually was not as heavy as it may seem. Must try!! HK iced tea was basic, the milk tea was quite tasty but they use a lot of ice. The sweetness is perfect right when it's served so if you are a slow drinker, the ice will dilute and make your drink pretty bland. I will definitely be coming back and trying out more of their rice dishes and the infamous pork bun! read more

Woodstone Eatery - Baked black pepper chicken on rice with cheese, spicy beef shank noodle soup, HK iced lemon tea, HK iced milk tea - Asian Fusion Near Me - Markham, Ontario

If you like Asian fusion cuisine, this is a great place to go! I came here with my family of 8 (including a baby) to celebrate my mom's birthday on a Saturday night. They have a wide variety of selections on their menu, and a lot of their specialty dishes were served with a drink. I ordered off the "Build Your Own Bowl" menu ($10.50 per bowl with no drink included) and got to choose between the different types of base (pasta, rice, etc), sauce, main ingredients and extra toppings (for $1.25). I ended up ordering spaghetti with tomato sauce, meatballs, and cheese and mushrooms as the side toppings. Surprisingly, there was a good number of meatballs (about 10) and the portion was just right. My dish was really tasty. Everybody was satisfied with their food. Now, the downside would be that they were understaffed. There were only two employees serving the customers, so we had to wait a while to wave down our waiter just to order. Then, the waiter forgot one of our orders (it may be because it was so busy and understaffed). We also bought in a cake and asked to have it served after our meals. It's typical that at an Asian restaurant, they don't do surprises and they'll ask you upfront when to serve it. But when our cake arrived, it was still in the box and they did not serve us utensils, candles, or a lighter. They didn't have candles or lighters, and they served us with a plastic knife to cut the cake, along with takeout boxes as plates, which surprised me. I guess nobody celebrates their birthdays here. My sister also mentioned that it's not very kids-friendly because the washroom did not have a diaper changing station. Overall, this is a nice casual place to eat. But it's not catered for babies/kids and birthday celebrations. read more

Woodstone Eatery - Asian Fusion Near Me - Markham, Ontario

We came for a quick lunch and made reservations. They gave us a much smaller table with insufficient seating, so we ended up having to cram in. Two of us actually just asked for our meals to go since it was taking too long and definitely not comfortable. They did have other tables available but they rather save those for 2 seat-ers rather than give to a bigger table.. defeats the purpose of calling in ahead to reserve a comfortable table for lunch I suppose. The food was alright. It was HK Cafe style food that they kinda one-up making it a little fancier. Portion wise, it's perfect for someone like me who can't eat much, but rather small in comparison to other HK Cafes who are charging the same or less. This place was a bit more pricey and honestly, I would rather just go to a regular HK Cafe where the portions are great and the food is simple. If you come by for a visit, I would recommend the baked spaghetti with tomato and meat sauce. Its a bit more acidic so the sauce with the pasta actually tasted pretty bright and I would be likely to order that again. read more

The soda drinks were served in mason jar mugs. The Raspberry Soda was actually quite refreshing with popping bobbas that were very good. The Pumpkin Soup had bacon bits on it. It was pretty good and the presentation was super adorable. The favourite appetizer that night had to be the Macao Cod Fish Potato Ball. This was a true Macanese dish and the taste was reminiscent to it too. It was slightly crispy on the outside but the inside was so smooth of cod fish and potato mash. It was delicious!! I really liked the Chicken Wings as well. These were also slightly crispy on the outside and very moist and tender on the inside. I love tasty chicken wings like these. The Baked Chicken in Portuguese Sauce on Rice had lots of cheese baked on top of it including olives and sausage slices; very different from usual Hong Kong style baked Portuguese rice dishes. It was a dish tasting like comfort food to me; it was good! The Cheesy Baked BBQ Pork on Rice with Fried Egg looked good. This dish had tomato sauce embedded in it so it was more of an acidic dish in terms of helping you to cut the grease when eating it. The Signature French Toast was like a Hong Kong style French toast with butter and syrup. It was pretty good. The Crème Brûlée was good! It had that hard caramel glaze and sweet custard underneath. The custard was dense. I liked the taste of it. The Mango Sago actually had lots of fresh mango chunks in it! It was pretty good too. read more

Local favourite especially after a climbing session. Quality is consistent and appropriate portions for their baked pasta/rice dishes.

3.5 Pros: Interesting take on HK style cafe cuisine Nice Decor Cons: Not much variety in menu If Woodstone Eatery had just popped up on it's own somewhere, I feel it would of been better reviewed than it has been so far. Unfortunately, it took over what was a very popular HK style cafe that had a lot of variety in it's menu. When this place was HK style cafe, I came here a lot. They had an vast menu with a lot to choose from. They had daily specials which were included a drink and were very well priced as well. Woodstone has replaced that with specific unique dishes at the cost of variety. For me, that doesn't translate to well. As per all the reviews before me, I had to try the baked BBQ pork on rice with cheese. This dish is everything everyone says about it. It's a very well prepared dish with a twist on when you usually expect. It's got a good amount of melted cheese which is something I like. It's also a bit on that tangy side which I didn't like as much. I'm someone who doesn't like to mix my sweet and savoury flavours. My wife had a pork chop on a bun which was well done as well. For me it was a bit smaller side but I'm a big eater. My wife felt it was good enough for her. We got some fries and chicken wings for my little one. They were your standard wings and fries, no more no less. I know my review is heavily influenced based on what the previous business was. I think it's a fair comparison though when it's kind of the same types of business. If it became an Italian restaurant, then I would of reviewed it differently. I'm OK with Woodstone's take on a HK style cafe, just not at the expense of the variety it used to have. read more

Modern style of hk cafe. Baked dishes are its specialty for lunch. There not much options if you like noodle soups though. They have their own version of pork chop sandwich, the bread is nice and soft and the pork chop is juicy and tender. The flavour is more on the light side so remember to eat it before you have stronger flavoured food. They also have dried instant noodles options. I ordered the bbq pork with cheese and egg over dried instant noodles. It is in a tomato sauce. This option is normally over rice but I decided to do something different. The rice option is one of their most popular option, the bbq pork is great but prob still better over rice than the noodles I chose. The baked bolognese with chicken is actually good, full of sauce and lots of meat. The sauce is nice and creamy, definitely something to check out. read more

Stepped into the restaurant, it's clearly evident that this is a Chinese fusion restaurant. Came here the second time, ordered the BBQ pork dish on the poster.

Woodstone Eatery - BbQ pork topped with a fried egg on rice - Asian Fusion Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I like my first visit at Woodstone Eatery a lot. I ordered a Portuguese Chicken Baked Rice ($10), and my coworker ordered a Black Pepper Chicken Baked Rice ($10) for lunch. The Portuguese Chicken Baked Rice looked good, and it tasted good, too. There was lot of chicken, lot of rice and sufficient sauce to go with it. It could be salty for some, but I liked salt, so I didn't mind. The Black Pepper Baked Rice looked okay, because the black pepper gave the sauce a dark/greyish colour. The coworker said it only tasted okay. The portion of both baked rices was sufficient. Both my coworker and I had a small leftover to pack home. Coworker also ordered a cold beverage that was so pretty looking. It was delicious and refreshing. Services was sufficient for a lunch. The server was effective and polite. The food arrived in reasonable time for a lunch rush. Interior decoration is nice. The venue is pretty enough to be a drink and relax place if it is quiet. read more

If you want to eat at a place where there's zero customers u should come here. Everytime I come here there is max 2-3 customers. The food here is okay, VERY LIMITED OPTIONS and they are nothing special. The only thing nice here is their fast wifi (cause no one is using it). They definitely need to expand their menu but overall it has a peaceful environment. ***** they gave us the bill without us requesting for it while we are trying to enjoy our drinks. Like are u trying to kick us out??? ****** 3/5 to 2/5 read more

Woodstone Eatery - 3.5/10 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Markham, Ontario

I really wanna like this place, but it is... eh. They do a lot of things right, but a lot of things wrong as well. The good: the interior and aesthetics is A+. It has that Asian modern vibe where there are FOUR DIFFERENT KINDS OF WALLS. Wood, stone, regular wall, etc. Writing that also just blew my mind.... "WOOD STONE" EATERY. wow. my aesthetic meter was tingling. The plates were metal which kind of reminded us of a jail, but they were pretty cute lmfao. Menu was interesting.... it only consisted of 4 pages really. Appetizers, drinks, noodles and rices/pastas. The only "viable" page in my opinion was the rices/pastas page. I opted for the spaghetti with chicken in it which was $11.99. I think it was definitely pricey for what was given. If this was 9.99 then I'd be less mad. The "regular" spaghetti did not have meat in it and I think it should just come with it as it feels incomplete. It tasted good, but was it mind blowing? No. Our server was not good at all lol. Dude's personality was not fit for this kind of job. We had a different good server before but he disappeared and never came back, leaving us with this guy. 3/5. Menu was limited, food was average, service is eh. I'd maybe come back again, but I'd rather go down South to Hollywood Cafe. read more

I've gone to Woodstone Eatery twice and had the same Spaghetti Bolognese and so far I have to say it's my favourite place to go for it. The sauce is a bit on the sweeter side but I have a sweet tooth so it didn't bother me too much. The sauce is a generous amount that allows all the noodles to be covered unlike some HK styles restaurants that give you a small amount of bland sauce to mix. As well, the portions are quite large, I always pack leftovers to take home and when I reheat it, it still tastes just as good. The first time I went my friend got the BBQ pork which was quite good as well! The second time I went, my sister ordered the Pork Burger, that was not as good which was disappointing, so maybe don't order that one? The pork was not as flavourful and a the burger overall was dry. My FAVOURITE thing about Woodstone Eatery is their Hong Kong Milk Tea, I believe they serve the best milk tea I've had at any cafe. As well, their cups are a larger mug, not the tiny cups you get at other places. Highly recommend you go to the restaurant just for their milk tea. Overall, the vibe of the restaurant is nice with the newer modern design and kind staff. It's a nice place to go to for lunch and their menu is different from your typical HK cafe. Would recommend for you to try it out! read more

Been here several times already for breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner. Breakfast has some western items (toast/eggs/homefries) and some typical Hk cafe items (eg Spam with fried egg on vermicelli, pork bun sandwich). Afternoon tea menu has some of the morning selections as well. I'm usually not a huge fan of Chinese style Portuguese sauce anything, but their Portuguese curry fish on bun was so fragrant and tasty. Though not as fluffy as the buns in Macau, Woodstone's buns are soft and chewy enough compared to Macau style buns at other cafes. The beef brisket here is so tender and has flavour, unlike many other HK cafe. Totally worth getting as well for breakfast or afternoon tea. Their BBQ pork (char siu) in tomato sauce and melted cheese with a fried egg on top was amazing. The tangy and sweet flavours of the tomato BBQ sauce with the egg yolk mixed in was perfect on a bed of steamed rice. Their milk tea is served in cups larger than most other HK cafe cups. The milk and tea combination is just right. Trust, I have tried enough milk tea in GTA - some tastes like brown coloured evaporated milk, some tastes like watered down tea, some tastes way too bitter. I like their hot milk tea, but I don't think I would order their iced milk tea again because from the granules I saw at the bottom of my cup, their iced versions seemed to have been prepared from instant milk tea powder instead! :( The price is a bit on the higher side but the seating environment is comfortable. The servers are friendly but slightly on the slower side (never got around to refilling our empty cups - when it's a hot day and you're pregnant, you'd want a constant water supply!) The seating area is clean but they really could spend a bit more work with the washroom - the floors were sticky and somewhat wet even around 10am in the morning. Despite these little areas for improvement, I'd say I will keep coming back for the good! read more

Woodstone Eatery - Of course their iced milk tea tastes great because it is made from instant powder milk tea! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Markham, Ontario

This is basically your average Hong Kong style cafe. From the food, service, and setting, to me it all suggest that this is a HK cafe. No matter how hard it tries to be something else, it is what it is. Don't get me wrong, it's not necessarily a bad thing. HK Cafe is great to grab a tasty quick bite "economically". So as soon as I was seated, I have establish that this is a HK Cafe. I am a little shock that the prices on the menu suggest otherwise. $10.50 for hainanese chicken rice, and $9.50 for beef brisket with udon in soup! Ok, I am expecting something spectacular coming onto my table for sure. Guess what, it's not much different than what 10 other HK cafe is offering along Hwy 7. It's not bad, the hainanese chicken and rice is flavourful and fragrant. The brisket udon is decent. The hainan chicken should be $8, and udon should be $7. It's come with only the regular lemon tea or water drinks, no soups, desserts or bread to justify the price either. In summary, it's good but overprice! Taste **** Price * Portion ** read more

Rate this 3.5, but can't do half stars. So round up to a 4. The photos I have are from two different visits. Walking into the restaurant, it's much more modern than other restaurants, borderline hipster. It's always quite busy as it is still quite new. The retardant is not too big, not good for big groups. My first visit I had the baked rice, and it definitely came out real quick. The portions are actually quite filling. The bbq pork they used are similar to Japan's char siu, and so it's a tad sweeter. The rice for the baked rice, is not fried. Normally other HK styled places would have fried rice for their baked rice. The second time, I came not as hungry so we ordered the regular bbq pork with rice and also wings on the side. The wings are freshly made, so they take the longest to come out. Wings are really nothing special, at least the honey garlic one anyway. The prices to me are a bit higher than expected. Definitely the crowd here is a bit younger compare to other HK style restaurants. Reason for the 3.5 is the prices, and the seating is not that comfortable as it is quite tight. read more

I decided to try Woodstone's eatery after seeing pictures of the food online and seeing it under the "Hot and New" section of Yelp. I was excited to try it since I love baked rice dishes and went in with high hopes (I know this is a big no no... But I couldn't help it). We went on a Saturday night at 8pm and there was no line but seeing as it just opened up recently, it was not surprising. The ambiance of the place really suited me. I noticed that each wall was made up of different material (eg. Brick, wood, tile, etc) and the middle section had plants layed out so it gave off a cafe vibe. The lighting fixtures were also well placed and wasn't too bright or dark for my liking. Like other yelpers said, the menu selection is relatively limited but my party and I all opted for the baked rice dishes. I ordered the 'Black Pepper chicken' and also got to try the 'Portugese chicken' and the popular 'BBQ pork with egg'. We also ordered drinks that came with the dish; two iced lemon teas and one iced HK milk tea. Unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed with the food. The chicken itself was moist and tender but the sauce of the black pepper chicken was a bit salty for my liking. The sauce on the BBQ pork apparently didn't really go well with the pork itself. The Portugese chicken was the winner of the three dishes we ordered. Drink wise, the milk tea was your typical milk tea drink but the lemon tea was watered down. I didn't experience bad service like other yelpers had. Each table has a device that allows you to call for a server and they were quick to respond. Overall, I'm glad I tried Woodstone's eatery. The place itself was decorated to the tee and it was very lively with the grand opening since a lot of families were visiting the owners and congratulating them on their reopen. While the food did somewhat disappoint, I may have it another try next time I'm in Markham. read more

Whenever I'm around woodbine and 16th area, I would always come to this HK inspired restaurant. As usual, the staff is usually very courteous when you come in, and would try to accommodate you to a seat right away. We came around 8pm on Monday, and the restaurant was already pretty busy. The menu features a good selection of food that even the pickiest off eater will find something they want. They have a breakfast menu option (which runs till 11), snacks/appetizers, rice and noodle dishes, and even customizable options. Their drink options includes the regular things like ice lemon tea/milk tea etc you'd find in regular HK cafes, and they also they have dessert drinks/bbt. Most of the main dishes usually include coffee/tea but you can change it for an additional cost. After ordering, our food took 10 mins max to come which was great. My dad is a vegetarian, and his usual to go to order is the Stir Fried Black Fungus & Okra rice ($9.99). I ordered: - BBQ Pork topped with a fried egg on rice ($10.99): The portion size was pretty good as you get quite a good amount of bbq pork, that are pretty thick. They were very tender and juicy, and complimented well with the sauce it came in. The egg is customizable, and I chose sunny side up. The yolk was perfect as it drizzled and mixed with my rice, and plus the pork is This is my to go to dish when I visit ;) Service was great as all the staff were attentive to our needs, and had manners. Final verdict: I will still come back to this restaurant! TIP: They only take cash read more

This spot was recently opened and it is located in the Apple Creek Plaza. There's lots of parking in this lot so that's always a bonus for sure. I visited on a week night. It was busy, but not too busy meaning that i did not have two wait for table, but the tables were filled. This restaurant is inspired by the taste of foods in Macau. I tried the cheese baked bbq pork on rice and also the Macau chicken steak. Both were pretty tasted. The food tastes good and the prices are reasonable. You can get a meal for $9-$15 per person. We also ordered the chicken wing appetizer and they were quite tasty too. I mean this place isn't fancy or absolutely amazing, but it's a good meal at a good price for the regular. read more

Woodstone has been missed by people around here. We are glad to see them return. It's smaller than their old location but decorated nicely. My family visited around 11am and their breakfast seem to be quite popular. The menu is a little smaller than before but still offers a good variety of dishes. We ordered their signature baked spaghetti bolognese and HK style bake pork chop on rice. Everything tasted great. Both are my kids favorite. The spaghetti has just the right amount of sauce. The pork chop was done right, not too dry. Met some friends their and they highly recommend their bbq pork on rice, will definitely try it next time. Service was good, very friendly people. Give it a try if you are in the area. read more

A fancier take on the typical HK cafe. Around $10-12 for a rice/noodle item. Very limited options and small portions. Curry beef brisket on rice - Nothing special about the curry, not very spicy. The beef was pretty tender. The potatoes were very small bits and were fried before being cooked in the curry. Not much curry taste in the potatoes either. Would've been better if they weren't fried. BBQ pork/chashu with egg - The BBQ pork is very fatty. I dislike fatty meats so I didn't really like this dish. Baked pork chop with tomato sauce on rice - Waaaayyyyy too much sauce and too little rice. It was like rice in tomato soup. The pork chops were very thin and chewy. Hainanese chicken on rice - I didn't like the taste of the rice. The chicken was fine, but only 5 small pieces. The drinks - All the drinks here just taste like water. I added $1.50 for horlicks and it still tasted like water. $1.50 is very overpriced for some tasteless horlicks. The lemon water had only 1 piece of lemon (see my pic). 1/5 at most. The wait is pretty long also. read more

I came here before when it was called HK Style Cafe. I really liked the new decor, feels warmer and they accept cards now too! I went in just before the lunch hr rush and got seated promptly with warm greetings from the server. The menu is simple (not sure if it's a different one for dinner). Each main dish comes with a drink. I love my HK style milk tea! This one was pretty smooth and not as thick as some others I've had. I was going to order the Chef's special baked BBQ pork on rice with fried egg but I was told there's no cheese and less sauce so I went with the Baked BBQ pork with cheese and poached egg. It seems like it's a favorite among yelpers too. I wanted sth different, instead of my usual baked spaghetti or baked pork chop. I surprisingly enjoyed it. the BBQ pork are thick cut, very tender and the tomato sauce is the one used for baked pork chop dishes. It wasn't overwhelming with cheese because I mentioned it during ordering. The server may have said sth which is nice! The egg is not poached at all...I think that should be changed on the menu. The menu features a page of small bites/started-sized items like okra. I would definitely come back to try them during dinner or go with more people to try some of these. They also feature a light menu for afternoon snacks with a drink included. Reasonable prices...around $5.99 to start. read more

Woodstone Eatery - Asian Fusion Near Me - Markham, Ontario

Medium upscale Hong Kong fusion restaurant. I like the food here, but I do find the menu a bit limited since I never order sandwiches - wish they had some daily specials. I've always been able to get a table here without waiting at lunch time, but they do get busy. Their baked dishes are their best menu items in my opinion. They're reasonably priced, very tasty, and don't take forever to make (unlike some places...). read more

First visit to the newly opened Woodstone Eatery! Food: 4/5 - Baked bbq pork cheesy rice was yummy and good portion size. The bbq pork was good quality and medium fatty. - Curry Beef Brisket rice was a good portion size as well, brisket was tender, but sauce while not bad was also not amazing. I personally like more fragrant curry, ie: malay curry or coconut curry. The yellow curry beef brisket at Blue Ocean Cafe is better. - Both came with soup (pumpkin) as part of grand opening - Nice and modern presentation Price: 5/5 - Prices for dinner are around the $10 range, very reasonable Place: 5/5 - Conveniently located, easy parking - Tastefully decorated, modern and new, comfortable seating Service: 3/5 - Friendly staff - Afternoon tea offered to 6pm, we tried flagging a server over and when we asked for the afternoon tea special it was 5:58pm and after checking with kitchen staff, server confirmed it's no longer available. I think if it is 6pm on the dot or before, they should honour it, but not a huge deal. - Servers were nice and checked on us a few times - Table next to us complained that the soup was luke warm, our soup came out fine though, so may be a bit of inconsistency here Overall: enjoyed this meal and will definitely be back to try more menue items! read more

A hard place to find something to eat for a pescatarian. I came for lunch and expected to be able to eat at least a couple of things on the menu. Sadly, there were barely any options for me to try. There were some things on the brunch menu that were pesce-friendly, but since it was after 11:15, they were no longer available. I ended up grabbing the popular Bbq Pork dish (basically bbq pork baked in a cheesy rice dish), giving in to momentary weakness. I took a bite of the pork and decided against eating the pork. It was fatty and not worth breaking my pescatarian diet. The rest of the dish was very heavy and cheesy. I also split the Calamari dish with a friend. I did not really care for the breading of the squid. Summary: stay away pescatarians! Limited selection for you. All they have is pork and chicken options. read more

I went to Woodstone Eatery this evening for dinner and found the interior to be very spacious and bright. I ordered the Braised curry beef brisket udon for dinner and my friend ordered the Fried salt and pepper wings. I liked that the beef brisket was soft and chewy and the wings were very juicy. As a drink, I ordered the Mango and Passion fruit soda. I liked that they added mint to the drink and the soda had the right amount of sweetness. I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast and afternoon specials! read more

Love love loved this HK cafe inspired restaurant. The menu items are very classic of a HK Cafe -- baked spaghetti bolognese and curries. There is also a section of the menu where you can customize your meal. They also serve breakfast during a specific time period. Overall, my impression is good. The HK milk tea was good as was the lemon iced tea. I enjoyed both the service and the food. Great place for friends and families -- even casual dates! Quick tip, you can pay via credit card if your bill is over $20 (without paying a fee). They do separate bills but pay cash if you don't want to pay a fee for using credit card (if your individual bill is less than $20). read more
