Great food. Nice that the family all work together!

Typical Chinese fast-food mom, pop, & kid shop that you find in every plaza. Denied an allergy substitutions by teen boy working cash that was too busy fluffing out his ‘fro. No longer ordering family dinners from this location.

Love supporting local mom and pop shops. This is delicious Canadian Chinese food. Highly recommend this place. Sweet and sour chicken balls, Shanghai noodles with beef and chicken chow mein are our go to’s.

I'm a big fan of their chilli chicken! it's full of flavour and a good portion for 2 people. The vegetable fried rice was a bit bland and a bit oily, so will likely opt for white ride next time. The people are really friendly. This is 100% takeout, so it would help If they spent a few hours to clean the front area. Simple things such as clean the floors, windows and just make the place look and smell clean and not make it look like a storage room. Will definitely be back and hoping this place considers my feedback. Wishing them continued success!

Second time ordering from this restaurant and the quality is the best in Markham. I have been eating at another Chinese food restaurant, but decided to make the switch and glad I did. Seems freshly cooked and flavours are great. Good pricing too as you get alot of food for your money. Definitely the best Chinese food restaurant in Markham and glad I found it.

It's certainly not bad. The food is relatively good. No other customers there when I went during lunch. Not surprising since the plaza it's small and the place itself looks shady... If your willing to look beyond that... Like take out, it's OK. The food itself good.

Really disappointed and regret ordering from here. Their wonton soup was inedible with freezer burnt wontons, the ho fun (beef with flat rice noodle) was made with pad thai noodles and the fried rice was completely dried out. Their Egg Foo Young was good and their spring rolls but the main dishes we ordered just werent good.

This is a tiny hole in the wall. I m not overly fond of their Chinese food, but their other offerings are spectacular. I would highly recommend the thick noodles ! I go for the chicken. I literally order five orders and then freeze it and use it for lunches for a long time . it is delicious. Huge sizes and reasonably priced. The staff is very friendly. They always recognize me when I come in even though it s 5-6 months between visits. Worth a visit. They do have tables inside but it s not overly welcoming in terms of decor. Online orders are best.

Delicious dinner for three! Pleasantly surprised as I have been craving for a good place that makes good sweet and sour chicken balls with chicken breast (not minced chicken). I called in to order takeout (their Skip the Dishes does not offer pick up option), which I did not mind doing. Food was ready to pick up in about 15 minutes. Hot and fresh. The fried rice was a bit too hard (al dente) for us, I will ask for softer next time. Other than that, we were happy with our meal. Service was fast and friendly.

We ordered here for our first time on Saturday. Had high expectations due to the overall Google rating. Ordered the dinner for 3 which allows you to choose any two items in a list of 28. Comes standard with egg rolls, chicken chop suey & pork fried rice. Was disappointing as the rice was hard & the bean sprouts were super soft due to being soggy. Cantonese chow mien, BBQ ribs & egg rolls were okay. Ill stick with another place in Stouffville even though this is super close to home.

90 minutes for delivery. Still waiting as I type this... we live 4 minutes away.

Ordered takeout (Skip the Dishes) for the first time yesterday. Everything was delicious but the Special Fried Rice was awful. The shrimp was raw and the dish tasted old and was inedible. Either the ingredients or the oil was not fresh at all. In spite of that, the rest of the meal was good and I would try them again.

Ate here with my family and was constantly subjected to the incessant screeching of the owners baby. Honestly dont understand why they keep their kids in the restaurant, not only did i witness them walk in and out of the kitchen (health hazard), they are also poorly behaved, especially the youngest one. Would not recommend.
