    Popcorn chicken meal. $12.99 for this bowl of rice and fried chicken. Such a great price, but the chicken was super fatty. Didn't eat it
    Jen H.

    We were really drawn in by the great daily special menu, only $8.99! Presentation was good, however the meat was fatty and very poor quality. Baked pork chop on rice was the Friday special. We also got popcorn chicken, and it was very fatty. I guess you get what you pay for? Disappointed and won't go back. Even with the cheap menu.

    This place has bubble tea, Taiwanese food & desserts. They get a 4 for the desserts & bubble tea but 3 for the food. Grass jelly with taro came with grass jelly shaved ice which was decent (I'd also never seen this type of shaved ice before). The grass jelly was smooth & fragrant. The taro paste was nice. The chewy flour cylinders added good texture variation. Milk tea with grass jelly had rich tea & good silky jelly. The char kway teow (Malaysian fried rice noodles) was big & fragrant with some smoky wok flavour. It was fried with some shrimp paste. There were peppers, bean sprouts, green onion & onion but no egg. It used Taiwanese sausage not Chinese sausage.

    This is a cozy tea and dessert place that also offering variety of dishes, price is reasonable and service is average. They also offer hotpot for two at $19.9 with good portion which you can't find anywhere else . Ordered tomato sauce chicken on rice and yansu chicken, both were a way too sweet for me give them 3/5; The guilin style rice noodle soup is at 2/5, tasteless. The ice team bowl is the highlight of the night, will definitely come back for dessert. 4/5

    Black sesame shave ice

    Came here Saturday night around 8 with a group of 4. Parking here is a pain in the butt. There's a grocery store and many other restaurants in this plaza so we had to circle around and wait a bit to find parking. They serve Taiwanese food but we only came here for dessert. We ordered 2 drinks and 2 desserts. The staff admitted they were busy and forgot about 1 of the desserts we ordered. We waited a while for it. I had the black sesame shave ice with QQ, tapioca pearls, vanilla ice cream and peanuts. The tapioca pearls was hard and I wish they gave more QQ instead. If you pay with cash they give you 10% off your order.

    $13 crispy chicken special (comes with a drink)

    Most mediocre takeout, Taiwanese lunch I've had. T_T Ordered the salty, crisp chicken meal set. For $13 it comes with a choice of a drink (I chose milk tea w/ grass jelly). Portion-wise they give ALOT of chicken. Unlike their Downtown location, this ZenQ meal doesn't come with any "cool" side dishes nor are you able to choose any side dishes. It was just a couple pieces of plain, boiled, bland broccoli and carrots. This makes it extra bland. For Taiwanese food, I personally prefer the round rice instead of the jasmine rice used here. The chicken was average-tasting but very fresh.

    ZenQ is promoting a "hot pot for two" as a new menu item. My XO and I ordered it for lunch. The hot pot for two includes a selection of soup base, a basket of veggies, and a plate of beef rolls and lamb rolls. Although I was initially skeptical of the portion, I was luckily proven wrong. The portion was quite okay. We loved the flavours of the soup broth, because it tasted rich (we chose non spicy broth). If you desire more noodle, meat, seafood and dumplings, they are available as a la carte. We will return and are recommending our friends to try the hot pot at ZenQ.

    We had originally come to the plaza to eat at another restaurant but with the odd layout of restaurants and parking it wasn't easy finding the restaurant we wanted to go to and instead decided to try this one. Prices for food and dessert are on par with other restaurants. However, I do find them a bit steep. With the 10% for the soft opening the prices were more reasonable. The green beans with beef brisket was okay and the cuttlefish balls was the better of the two orders. The dessert menu was much more extensive than the food menu so I'd expect more customers will come by for dessert rather than meals.

    Matcha Shaved Ice

    We recently just visited ZenQ after the new renovations, and the place looks so different! It was during their "soft opening" over the weekend. The place has a cozy cafe feeling, with wooden tables/chairs and modern panels and lighting. In terms of food, I do miss the old ZenQ as the menu seems to have completely changed. I had to do a double take, as I thought this was a totally new restaurant at first. Instead of having select Taiwanese items which it is known for, the menu now has like over 100+ food items from Malaysian, Thai, Chinese, to Szechuan noodles. It did seem overwhelming, and I personally wouldn't come here if not for the Taiwanese snacks. There were also no special combos that they used to have, such as meal and drink between $10-$12 or afternoon tea specials. Certain favorites, like the minced pork with rice were crossed out on the menu too. We ordered the popcorn chicken and the matcha shaved ice. The waiter must have been new, as she didn't provide us with any utensils to eat the popcorn chicken at first. She also didn't provide us with bowls/plates to share. It took awhile to get the waiter's attention, and she didn't seem to understand our English. I am guessing that this place will probably cater to a different crowd now. The prices have also increased a bit, and the quality and service wasn't that great.

    We came here to try the Taiwanese dessert and the pictures just could not justify the actual taste of the food. We ordered 3 different dessert and none of them are outstanding. We also ordered the special of the day, hainanese Chicken, and I'm sorry, but the chicken has that " chickenny" taste, if u know what I mean. The chicken was so rubbery as it was just cooked in the microwave. We also got the salt and pepper chicken pepper which was okay. The service was very quick and all the waiters were very polite and friendly. The reataurant was very quiet, prob bcuz its a Monday and its located in the Langham shopping center.

    Newly renovated to be more instagram worthy. Seems like the same kind of food as before, as expected. They do have some advertising on the tables. It's a nice place to eat and have dessert. Prices are quite reasonable for the portion. Average taste. Wifi: yes(t) loyalty: no

    Service was okay and food was not bad. Restaurant was clean and neat. Portion sizes were pretty big and prices were fair. They have a discount promotion if you pay cash for dine in and takeout.

    The prices here are a little steep for the ingredients you get but it's a decent "late night hang-out spot" in Markham considering it closes at midnight on regular days and 1am on Friday and Saturday nights. The "specialty" Q balls are intriguing in the same way that tapioca is - it's something to chew on that's mildly sweetened. I wouldn't sit there and just eat Q balls on its own but if I were distracted in conversation with friends, and it was just sitting there, I would pick at it and eventually eat it all. I ordered the mango sago and popcorn chicken. Both were decent, tasting exactly what I expected it to taste like, and overall, service was good. The staff were prompt and polite with orders/requests. This wouldn't be my hang-out/dessert place of choice, but I'd come back if my friends were inclined.

    wow, it's actually SO good
    Amy Z.

    When I first came here when it opened, it was messy as hell- lines were crowded and people were running around like a headless chicken.. I was 110% DONE with this place. Now returning, I LOVE IT!! Instead of the lining up service, zen q has changed and now serve you- pro: you can be lazy. con: NOW WE HAVE TO TIP, BOOOO. Just kidding lol. The service has consistently been friendly and efficient, no matter which staff member helps you. The shaved ice here is so good! It's essentially like eating flavourless snow and then they add a flavour on top. I've tried the lychee milk and mango milk and they're both delish!! Obviously not as big as cha me cha's mountain that they call snow ice, but it's definitely enough. Also love the jellies and tapioca they add on the side. AND WHO CAN FORGET THE FROOT LOOPS?! Hello childhood! Also tried their crispy chicken- tastes a lot like cha me cha's next door, but a tiny bit less breaded, and it comes with a side of spring mix- would've worked well with a drop of italian salad dressing too.. hint hint. The drinks are pretty standard, but they have a lot of unique ones. Prices are also reasonably cheap for each dish/drink. Zen Q is REALLY good, and if you know me, you know I don't like giving places 5 stars. I don't even like writing good reviews. But you all must know!

Be prepared for a bit of a line on weekends. The store has ropes to guide the lineup. With all that said, Yan's is well worth the wait. This place has been around for decades. I have been a loyal supporter since their Market Village location. Although the new storefront is smaller with takeout only, it still offers the same great options that keep everyone coming back. The prices remain reasonable ($3 and up). Their soy milk is top-notch. My absolute favorite has to be the coconutmilk tofu pudding ($3.70). It is a delightful treat! If you are a fan of soy based desserts, Yan's Soy Food is a must-visit!

It's located by a food court - so you can swing by there if you wanted to sit and enjoy it right away, however food court was pretty busy, so may take some time for you to actually get a table. The tofu dessert was sooooo satisfying - warm, soft and literally just melts with just the right amount of sweetness - I wanted seconds right away. The soy milk was also not bad, that we toke home and enjoyed the following day. Will definitely find a chance to re-visit in the future!

The rose tea flavour was sooo good, I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did but it was the perfect mix of floral, sweet, and tea flavoured. I love how nothing tastes artificial. For around $10, it's a pretty solid place to grab some dessert. The only downside is that they have very limited seating here. We got lucky because a table was just leaving as we arrived, so we managed to snag a small table to sit and chat. But it still gets very crammed in there when there's usually a line that runs along the same area as their seating. This spot is best if you're coming to hang with one person, otherwise it's not very accommodating for groups due to the limitations of their space. Even still, you might not score a seat right away especially if you're coming during peak hours.
