I had an amazing experience at TAI ER Sichuan Cuisine (太二酸菜鱼) in Markham! The flavors are authentic and bold, especially the signature sour fish soup—it’s perfectly spicy with just the right amount of tang. The ingredients are fresh, and the fish is cooked to perfection. The ambiance is modern and comfortable, making it an ideal spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff are friendly and efficient, making sure everything was just right. If you’re a fan of Sichuan cuisine or looking to try something new, TAI ER is definitely worth a visit!

The portion of the food is generous. Taste is good. There many dishes that is not spicy. The fish is fresh not from frozen fish fillet. Tender and not fishy. Ma Po tofu is good very pickles. Dan Dan noodle is my favorite. This is huge chain in China. The food doesn’t taste like pre-made. Recommend a try

★★★★

Decent Szechuan dishes. We tried the non-spicy pickled fish soup dish. The fish fliet is pretty tender but plain taste. The pickled cabbage is pretty tasty. We also like the cold noodle dish. It's very chewy and taste authentic. The serive is good.

We had an amazing experience at this Sichuan restaurant! The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and efficient. The food was nothing short of excellent, with every dish bursting with authentic flavours. The highlight for us was the sauerkraut fish, which was perfectly cooked and seasoned, a true standout on the menu. If you’re looking for a place with great food and impeccable service, this is it. Highly recommend!

I recently tried the sauerkraut fish at this restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The dish was bursting with authentic flavors that truly captured the essence of its culinary roots. The fish was tender and infused with a perfect balance of spices and the signature tang of sauerkraut. However, I was disappointed by the portion size—it felt quite small for the price. While the flavors were exceptional, the cost made it hard to justify ordering multiple dishes. If you’re looking for a tasty and authentic experience, the sauerkraut fish is definitely worth trying, but be prepared for smaller portions and a higher price point.

★★★

Got the spicy fish, fern noodles and the sticky rice cakes. Fish was good, enough sourness and the soup was nice, although I like my food super spicy and numbing so this was way too mild for me. Also I’m used to different options of fish so it’s interesting that you don’t have any choice here when it is the main dish. Fern noodles was interesting, chewy and sour. Sticky rice cakes was good, for me it felt a bit too soft but maybe it’s supposed to be like that. Service was superb, fast and attentive. Booths were spacious.

I went there last week at lunch time. They offered me the lunch special combo meal. The lunch special combo included 4 dishes plus 2 dessert and 2 bowls of rice only for 55.99. Food tastes good specially the fish. Kids /Baby friendly. They have 7.99 kids meal. My baby loves this place. Open concept kitchen. Good service.

Just went there this weekend as my first visit, it was a great experience. We tried 2 of their new dish, Sweet and Sour Kung Pao Chicken and Tomato Fish Fillet; the Tomato Fish Fillet was really good!! We also tried many other dishes, most of them are really good except for the Crunchy Shrimp with Sweet Mustard Sauce, the batter is too thick, I think it would taste much better if they could just coated with corn starch to fried in stead of batter. Service is superb!!! It’s unexpectedly great!! First surprise was when the server serve us the Youtiao she accidentally dropped one, and she reacted very quickly before you give her a look, she said she is sorry and she will remake another one for us, and it came back 3, so it means she even gave us 2 extra. And then we asked a server for extra ladle, and just when the server walked away and another servier alrdy delivered the extra ladle. It was so fast and very efficient!! The place is very spacious, seating is very comfy, and you can play your fortune stick while waiting for food. But the waiting time is very short though, the food come out fast!! Me and my friends said we will come back to try the rest of the menu for sure. Maybe the food is average, but their service is fire sure make you feel comfy to dine in their place.

When I came to Taier, I felt like I was home. Attentive service and delicious dishes. The pickled fish is very authentic and the portions are generous, and other dishes are also very cost-effective. A great place for family gatherings. Will come back next time!

The pickled fish tastes exactly the same as what I had in the country, and I felt like I was back in China in a second. The fern root powder is refreshing, and the free scented tea is sour and sweet and can relieve the spiciness. The spiciness is acceptable to Cantonese people.

★★★★★

The Christmas atmosphere is also very strong. I like dining at Taier very much. I hope they will continue to serve new dishes. It is cost-effective. It is a regular restaurant for migrant workers. I love it. I heard that they will have activities for Christmas, hahaha

I think most reviews here are not TRUE, the dishes are basically pre-packaged food from China, anyway, I wont go again.

December 21, 2024

Except for rice and vegetables, all are pre-made dishes from China. They are unpacked and heated before serving. Eating these pre-made dishes from China feels a bit like downgrading your consumption in a foreign country to using Pinduoduo products. The problem is The price is not cheap either. Once is enough, I won t go there again, too low!

The food is ok. We had a giant bowl of fish and broth. It was the best thing we had. The rest was nothing special. I was a little shocked at the price since the only notable item was this giant bowl of fish and broth. My niece had fried tater tots, shrimp chips and fried chicken pieces. I dont remember the other items we ate.

November 22, 2024

Personally, I feel that the set menu is not as cost-effective as a la carte, as everything is for a single person. The pickled fish is delicious, and the other side dishes are also good. But the stir-fried pork is not only different in price, but also uses meat similar to beef slices instead of sliced meat. The manager said it has been deep-fried, not fried pork with chili pepper in the traditional sense. Ordering pickled fish a la carte next time will be more cost-effective

The location is very convenient. There is a car repair shop behind it. The waiters are also well-trained and the food is served very quickly. I don t eat much, so the portion is enough when I eat it, but it is a little bit empty after I finish it. The color, flavor and taste are good. Very domestic flavor Maybe it s because I haven t been back to China for more than 10 years, and I ve eaten out my Canadian stomach. I had diarrhea 5 times in 2 hours, all of which were due to diarrhea, and I m still having diarrhea. Is this because I caught a cold or did I eat this? I ordered pickled fish, tofu and stir-fried beans. I will not eat this dish for the second time because after eating it, I felt that there were too many MSG and additives. Mainly because I still have diarrhea and I haven t had diarrhea for a long time. I didn t want to write a review. I wrote it and posted it just to let the boss see if there is really a food hygiene problem or something.

Me and my friend ate 5 kids meal and the food was great but the spaghetti was idcing himself and a Chinese place should never sell spaghetti and the amount was good for kids but me i ate the fried rice with hash browns and broccoli and the dumplings and the chicken wing the dumplings has juice inside of them and that would get 4.5 and the and the fried rice was perfect for kids and adults Ill give it a 4.5 and my friend ordered a spaghetti that looks the first one is the spaghetti in the second most fried rice and I want to shout out kit for making me laugh and had a great time.

I ve tried the Tai Er restaurant chain in China before, and after visiting their Toronto location, I m happy to say the quality is just as consistent. We ordered the signature sour and spicy fish, which had the perfect balance of spiciness and sourness definitely the highlight of the meal. I added two sides, lotus roots and frozen tofu, which paired really well with the fish. The fried beef rice was another great choice, not spicy but packed with flavor, especially with the pickles. We also tried the Mapo tofu, which was authentic and not overly spicy, perfect for those who enjoy the dish without too much heat. I appreciated the drink options, including both ice and hot water, as well as hibiscus tea. One thing to note is that you need to book a reservation at dinner time, but we still had to wait around 15 minutes for our table to be ready. Despite the wait, it was a very positive dining experience with family at Tai Er, and I d definitely recommend it for anyone craving high-quality !

The food is great. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Staff was friendly and accommodating!! But what really did it for me was their kids meals. As a mom of a toddler, it s SO nice to have a restaurant that is this child friendly. Their high chairs sit on top of the spacious booths and they provide a child s plate and cutlery. Their kids meal has all the major food groups (chicken wing, corn, tomatoes, dumplings, broccoli, tator tots) ALL for $7.99?!?! What this also means is we were able to order what I actually wanted to eat (spicy things) knowing that my child would have enough to eat. My new favorite restaurant just for the kids meal.

Tai ER Sichuan cuisine serve special dishes Suancai (pickle veggies) & Fish (sour-spicy) in Sichuan style. We ordered their signature Sauerkraut Fish. Fish is sliced and came out in Soup ( Which is sour and spicy, also numbing). They suggest us to ordered some rice and breadsticks so we can dips in the soup and eat it. Which I like! The taste is very interesting and it is not for everyone. 4 of us having Sauerkraut fish the first time, 2 of us like it and the other doesnt I saw them making some flower tea and give them out for free, we didnt know until we are walking out the restaurant. Will try it next time Service is very good here, they take their time to explain all the dishes to us, knowing we are here the first time. if you order large size of the sauerkraut fish dish, they will sing a song (I find that really cool) Parking can be a bit of a challenge. There is a parking lot at the back of the plaza in case you cant find parking in front of the restaurant. Parking: Parking can be a bit of a challenge.

I came here a month ago, I dont remember the names of any of the dishes anymore. We ordered 5 dishes: the tempura shrimp with mustard mayo, spicy chicken, some rice cake dish, a spicy fish pot and I forget the last dish, as it wasnt memorable. The shrimp was definitely on point, the flavour was amazing, didnt like how it was plated into a tower formation, the tobiko isnt evenly distributed among all the pieces, but thats fine the fish didnt need that garnish anyway. The spicy chicken was hands down the best one Ive had in Toronto amongst all these northern Chinese restaurants. Perfect level of spice and flavour, the chicken was super tender. This rice cake was absolutely necessary, especially for someone like me who cant handle too much spice. It helped a lot to douse the heat. The fish pot was really good, but too spicy for me. I had no choice though, as she wanted to come here just to have that dish. Which brings us to the service here. The servers were super accommodating, and would constantly keep filling me up with water cause I couldnt handle the heat. Overall a really good experience, food was great, service was on point. Will definitely come more often. Parking: The parking lot is huge, but this plaza is always packed. Mostly cause no one carpools in Markham.

Today I brought my children to dine, and the waiters brought me a highchair, which was very considerate. My favorite dishes are pickled fish and stir-fried beef. They are spicy and delicious. Fish soup with rice is my favorite way to eat them. Its very good in all aspects. I will also consider coming alone for lunch next time. A small pickled fish with rice is enough. I hope this restaurant will be open long enough because it is my favorite restaurant. Kid-friendliness: There is a childrens set meal, which children like to eat very much

Finally got the pickled fish I ve been craving for The store is very well decorated, we sat by the window and had a good view Two people ordered the standard version of pickled fish. The fish meat was very chewy and paired with the wide vermicelli noodles. Love the potato balls and shrimp crackers in the snack platter The ice powder is particularly rich in ingredients. Overall, the environment in the store is very comfortable, which adds great points to the dining experience. The staff in the store are very friendly and approachable The meal is also served very quickly, which is very suitable for leisure and entertainment.

Good vibe. Spacious booth seats. Excellent service. The complimentary tea is a WOW. Each table has a set of fortune sticks u can play with. Excellent for kids. Thank god they have non spicy options for the sour fish soup. For all other spicy dishes, I would say they are all level 1 spicy. Recommend the crispy pork. I just recommended a few ppl to try this restaurant. Kid-friendliness: Spacious booth seats. Each table has a fortune sticks set to play with. Has 1 kids meal option. There are 3 dolls in waiting area for photos. Restaurant is clean.

Tai Er Sichuan Restaurant is my top choice for spicy sour fish! Having frequented their locations in Shenzhen, China, I was delighted to find them in Toronto.

Taier pickled fish restaurant review Tai Er Pickled Fish Restaurant is a unique dining experience that brings the strong and vibrant flavors of Chinese cuisine. Known for its signature dish, pickled fish, Tai Er offers diners a taste journey with the perfect balance of sour, spicy and umami flavours. Environment: 4/5 The interior design of the restaurant is modern and stylish, combining traditional Chinese elements with contemporary design. The overall environment is bright and cozy, perfect for family dinners or special occasions. The seating arrangement is reasonable, so whether it is a small gathering or a large party, you can feel spacious and comfortable while dining. Dishes: 5/5 The highlight of Taier Restaurant is undoubtedly the pickled fish. The fish is very tender and simmered in a soup base made with sauerkraut, Sichuan peppercorns and dried chili peppers. The result is a dish that is rich and layered in flavor, with gradually rising spiciness and endless aftertaste. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing. In addition to the signature dishes, there are a variety of other options on the menu, including cold cuts, stir-fries and noodles. You can taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients in every bite, the vegetables are crisp and the meat is perfectly cooked. Service: 4/5 The service at Tai Er Restaurant is efficient and friendly. The waiters are very familiar with the menu and can make recommendations based on the customers taste. The food is served quickly and the waiters are attentive but not intrusive to the dining experience. However, due to the popularity of the restaurant, there may be a slight wait to be seated during peak hours. Value for money: 4.5/5 The value for money at Taier Restaurant is very high. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the dishes and portion sizes. This is a place to have a hearty and satisfying meal that doesnt feel expensive. Overall Rating: 4.5/5 Tai Er Pickled Fish Restaurant is a must-try for anyone who loves strong Chinese food. A warm environment, exceptional cuisine and attentive service make it an outstanding dining destination. Whether youre a fan of spicy food or want to try new flavors, Tai Er Restaurant is sure to impress.

Thank you to the wonderful staff for their hospitality and great patience as they helped our small group navigate their great menu. It was our first visit to this restaurant and considering we have low spicy tolerance & only spoke / read English, they helped pick out the best dishes for us! I love how these dishes are un-typical of what one expects for Chinese food - being that it is Szechuan based. All the picks from the staff were definitely new-to-us and we loved them ALL! The non-spicy fish soup had plenty of deboned (!) fish soup (no bones!), with its broth having a a wonderfully subtle yet flavourful taste! The mouthwatering chicken was only slightly spicy and thankfully it was enough for us to enjoy. Their house fruit tea is amazing and has a unique combo on flavours which I would love to take home, but its only available for sit-down service They even gave the bday girl a free noodles take-home dish! Love their take-home packaging and all their branding I can t wait to bring others here! We came upon this restaurant by happen-stance & are so happy we did!

Chinese restaurant serving comfort food, originating in the northern parts of China - Sauerkraut fish is spicy, numbing, sour, delicious, and oh so good when done correctly. Restaurant is located on the North-East corner of McCowan and Hwy 7 across from Markville mall. Plenty of parking spots in this plaza. The decor in this restaurant is absolutely stunning with wooden finishes, very zen vibe and minimalist. I had dinner here last night around 7:30PM; restaurant was very busy but we were promptly served by wait staff. The menu is not massive which is good (quality over quantity, unless youre an HK café) Menu is QR code based on the edges of the tables For 3 people, we ordered quite a few dishes to sample Suancai & Fish - Small (Snakehead Fish) ( ) - Spicy, Numbing, has vermicelli noodles - decent portion for a single person... flavor wise it is a 5-6/10; it was lacking a bit of seasoning/salt, the flavor was there but there was something missing. My wife and mother in law found it not spicy, so if you have high spice tolerance Sichuan Peppercorn Fish Fillet - this was for me since my spice tolerance isnt crazy high; good flavor, umami, same comments as the snakehead fish - missing some seasoning/lacking but overall good dish (preferred this over the other one) Stif-fried Pork Belly Slices - good wok hay, good flavor, could have been spicier (even for me) Tasty Fried Chicken Wings - really crispy wings as a snack, loved me the mustard on the side, portion comes with 6 wings Mapo Tofu - This was ok flavor too, similar comments to the dishes ordered The Sichuan Spicy Chicken - decent flavor, good cold dish to offset the spicy and sour fish We did order rice and noodles on the side to enjoy with our dishes Coconut Ching Bo Leung - tasty and creamy, refreshing Orange drink - tangy, sour, good blance to the other flavors Service was great, the wait staff were attentive and very friendly, they hired the right people for this restaurant. Overall i give this restaurant a 7/10 rating; improvements could be made I feel A little oily for my own palette as i had to bbg today twice - I also enjoyed that it wasnt heavy on the MSG as I didnt feel the MSG thirst after eating at this restaurant. Its great for me cause this spice level I can tolerate but for super spice lovers you may be disappointed (unless they have a super spicy option lol)

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tai Er Fish Restaurant in Markham, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. Their friendliness and attentiveness truly enhanced our dining experience. The highlight, of course, was the food. The fish dishes were absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Each dish was well-prepared, with the perfect balance of spices and seasoning. The menu offers a great variety, and everything we tried was a delight to the taste buds. The ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and comfortable, making it a great spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. Overall, Tai Er Fish Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in Markham who appreciates great food and excellent service. We will definitely be returning!

Very new experience. Good service and food is also great (portion is a bit small). Overall would recommend

July 22, 2024

The fish was average, and we also ordered beef and the Double Pepper Chicken. The portions were very small, and when it arrived, it felt like a starter-sized portion. The fish, which cost around 60, had only a few pieces. The taste and price were not impressive. I want to emphasize on the service in this restaurant. The servers were all polite, and there was no shortage of staff. However, because it was a scan-to-order restaurant, no one take care of me after I sat down. Even after I ordered, no one brought me water for a long time, and none of the servers made eye contact with me. It took me a while to find someone who finally saw me and then brought me water to drink... No one provided me with tissues, and I end up find the tissues under our table drawer. When I paid, I paid in cash, and usually someone would wait by the side to take the money or come over later to collect it, but the server who gave me the bill disappeared after that, and I had to wait for a long time without anyone coming to give me my change. In the end, I didnt want to wait any longer and left, only to find that the server was standing at the entrance... I think the owner probably wants to provide good service, including the serving of dishes with chants, but I think the training is horrible. I hope there will be improvement in the future... The pickled fish tasted okay, and we also ordered beef and double pepper chicken. The portion is very small, it feels like the size of an appetizer. There are only a few pieces of fish for 60 a portion. The taste and price are not outstanding. What I want to focus on is the service in the store. Every one of the waiters is very polite. There are also many waiters and there is no shortage of staff. Because I scanned the QR code to order, no one cared about me after I sat down. But after I sat down and ordered, no one gave me water for a long time. Every waiter did not make eye contact with me, so I had to look for a long time before someone saw me and asked for water... No one provided me with tissues. I found a drawer under another table and found the tissues in the drawer of our table. When I pay in cash, I usually wait to collect the money or come back to collect it after a while, but the waiter disappeared after giving me the order. I waited for a long time and no one came, and no one changed the money. , in the end I didn t want to wait anymore and left, and found that the waiter was right at the entrance. I feel that the boss wants to provide good service, including serving food and shouting slogans, but I feel that the training is not good enough. I hope there will be improvement in the future...

We also ordered Crunchy shrimp with sweet mustard sauce, Pea tips in premium broth, spicy squid salad, and mapo tofu. Some dishes were really spicy, so for spice lover this is great. The dishes can be a bit small for the price they charge, but the taste is worth the price. The service we got was great, everyone there was super friendly and will take their time to explain the menu. I will definitely come back to try more dishes.
