Chin Yuan Pai Ku in Markham

Very good company lunch choice

Chin Yuan Pai Ku is a great place for a quick bite that is very economical. Food is very tasty and the service is very quick. Try the #1 with the spicy sauce. Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible

Food is good and price is fair

Super delicious pork ribs rice

The price is affordable and the stuff is worth recommending

My favorite lunchbox spot in the past decade. Fast, yummy, and affordable.

Has your hygiene improved recently? I think it s good.

Although fast food restaurants are not expensive, you should also pay attention to hygiene and food safety. There was such a big piece of plastic in the soup that it scratched my throat when I drank it.

Decorator Happy Meal

The best pork rib rice in the city

The most desired Toronto food after moving out of town, Jinyuan Pork Ribs Rice

Very good food here especially the pork chop on rice and the beef noodle soup, also the quantity is good and good price

Best Pork chop on rice in town.

What a good job for so many years still yummy

The food is good but the take out packing is terrible

In this era of high prices, you can get a lunch box with ribs, vegetables, braised eggs, and dried beans for 11.87, and it tastes very good too.

Mediocre food for the price. The popcorn chicken was kinda tough and price is slightly higher than other food court.

Miss you so much

Such fresh quick food. I wish price is below 10 !

Authentic Taiwanese food inside a small food court. Much better service than how the mean girl treated me at their Taiwanese competitor in the same shopping mall.

Taiwanese braised pork is worth trying

The pork ribs rice must be spicy, otherwise it will lose its soul.

Like the other reviewers, Id also recommend the fried pork chop on rice (which includes vegetables, tofu and a braised egg). Excellent value and the pork chop is quite tasty, all for $7.25 (plus taxes as of Sep2018). Do note that they sometimes add hot red pepper flakes to the veggies, which you may or may not want to pick out. Im sticking with the no heat option at this place as the spicy hot option is for me... pretty spicy and hot, especially if I swallow a chilli pepper by accident.

The pork ribs are deep-fried, but not dry, and taste quite good.

Cheap good food. Very good pork rice lunch for $10.50. Very fast service.

always the best I love it It tastes the same as the time when I had tried it for over 5 years ago. amazing choose non-spicy if u are not super hot food lovers. Food

You have to understand how good they are!

Is the Jinyuan Pork Ribs Rice worth like 250,000 to 80,000 yuan? The lady at the cashier had a very bad attitude. She even said that she had already added normal chili peppers to me. I would charge 25 cents for another chili pepper? tmd Where do you add chili? The writing is terrible, and the food is salty!

Popcorn chicken was great. Nice to get veggies and an egg included. Fantastic value!

The tableware in this restaurant is actually made of Polygon (which cannot hold hot food at 60 degrees Celsius). Others are cheaper than it and all use PE materials. It can be seen that this boss is not very ethical.

Good portion and tasty! The pork chop rice #1 is their signature meal.

I love their pork chop dish, but their food getting saltier and saltier. For the long term health point of view, I wish they cook with less salt.

If you place an order over the phone, they wont start until people arrive. So double the waiting time. The front desk was very busy and the attitude was average.

I bought 11 pork rib lunch boxes, but I don t know if it s too late. Prepare. Or their kitchen chef was negligent. some Reduce the amount of green vegetables by half. Some of them didnt put Lu Dan. Some of the ribs are only half the size of what you usually order. Such an approach. When I want to buy more copies in the future, I probably won t go there again.

$10ish a box. remained crispy and same quality as before. A bit greasy for me but it s alright. No drink. Portion is too big for me but I think may not be enough for a big man.

Go to spot for authentic Taiwanese bentos

Twice, I said it doesn t want to be spicy: I also put a bunch of chili peppers in it, and the whole thing is spicy and I can t eat it at all

Best Authentic Taiwanese Pork Chop in town! Real Taiwanese recipes! Real Taiwanese taste! Real Taiwanese Spare Ribs! Ten years as a day! The best in town!

It feels like the taste is different every time I remember it was delicious the day before yesterday, but when I ordered it today, it didn t taste as good as the day before yesterday, and today s was missing dried fish and sauerkraut, and the one the day before yesterday was all meat, and today s was a big bone. I ll try it the day after tomorrow to see how it tastes

A good option for chinese fast food lunch.

Good lunch option, pork is good. Located in the food court of the plaza. Cash only :( Food : 5/5

Still one of the best popcorn chicken place in Toronto. However, it s much expensive than pre pandemic. $13 now vs $8 before.

Amazing food, very consistant over the past decades. 10/10 taste. Food court service and environment, not bad. Would recommend chicken over pork. Also, the chille pepper is very spicy, be cautious.

It has a strong Taiwanese flavor, and the beef noodle soup is quite good.

Food was good. great portion sizes and fast ! its in the food court. cash only Service js quick not much talking and get food fast Ambiance its ok in the food court Food : 3/5

The ribs are really delicious. The portions are generous. The rice is also as chewy as Taiwanese rice. The most important thing is that the portion size is super satisfying. Full of hometown flavor. Thanks for the delicious food!

The rice is delicious, but the waiter is so stupid. It s like my mother can t understand human language. I asked her to add more spicy food, but she didn t add any chili pepper. Its possible that hes uneducated and hasnt gone to school. Please hire someone who can read and write. Dont hire a waiter with such a bad attitude and stupid attitude.

( _ )

Pork chop is still delicious. However, price is going up and they don t provide pickles any more.

I am not sure if they change their owner or chef. The food became so different and not tasty at all compared to before. My husband and I used to love their food a lot. This time when we open the boxes, we surprised about if we went to the wrong place. The chicken leg was so dry and the chicken cutlet used to be stewed not deep fried. So disappointed and will never go back again.

My favourite go to place for food when I m alone. When other food courts have no one waiting this one always has a line, long or short. The food is great, especially .Ko.1, the house special, but I think the cashier can be a bit more friendly and approachable.

Good food for its price

It s understandable that the price is higher because of rising prices, but the taste and quantity are really not at the same level as before.

Try this place for the first time and surprised by the quality of the food. Weve ordered their specialty pork chop and beef noodle, they tasted just like we ate in Taiwan! Pls. Keep the good work!

The porkchop rice is their mainstay. The cabbage, tofu sides are worth a mention of their own. But what really is impressive is their beef noodles actually.

Nice fast food with delicious lunch boxes, price is fair.

A hidden gem in a busy plaza full of eateries, Chin Yuan provides a wide selection of rice combos but my favourite is their beef noodles. The portion is very decent and the flavour is always consistent.

Great food nowadays for its price

Good food but you have to ask for sauce and other things which should be served without request along with the food selection.

Pandemic In the past, the rice noodle soup had a very Taiwanese flavor and plenty of ingredients. I bought it again this Thursday afternoon. In a whole bowl, the rice noodle soup was only about 1/4! It tasted like leftovers from the day before yesterday, the soup was dark, and the fried onions were burnt... My family and I were very disappointed! Is it because I bought takeout and can t complain on the spot? I personally dont recommend buying it.

The food is great, but dont expect any customer service. Extremely rude cashier!!

They are famous for their Taiwanese fried pork chop Bento Box and very tasty fast food located inside of Metro Square food court. However, the room for improvement (the sole reason for not getting the 5 stars) is these Ladies at the front really need to learn how to interact with customers in a respectful & courteous manner !

Its really not as good as before.

Although the food court does not charge tips, the attitude when ordering is really rude. I was happily ordering a meal, but suddenly it was like stepping on a landmine, which made people feel inexplicable and very uncomfortable...

Cannot resist having it everytime when I went Markham ..

Ive been eating here for several years. Its delicious, but recently the prices have increased and the menu has begun to decrease. .

Today I bought a portion of Golden Yuan Pork Rib Rice for $9.98. It was 11.3 after tax. I paid 0.70 for the change. I asked the price of a bottle of Coke and the front desk said 0.8. I said I didn t have any change. Can I just give 0.7 here? The front desk was very tough, no, so I finally found 2.5 cents in the pocket of my wallet, gave her 0.85, and there was still 0.05 left, but she stopped looking for it. I wanted her to find it, so tell me directly, I heard wrong. , is 0.85, there are also temporary price increases, really awesome,

I made a reservation by phone 20 minutes in advance. When I arrived at the place, I was told that the reservation was given to someone else first. I was also told that the money was given to someone else first. Come on, what s the point of placing an order over the phone? So just come here and order it right away. You don t need to remember to call in advance. If you dont call, you can arrive early, and its obviously not busy at all.

The pork and eggs are really nice. Dont really care about the offals that comes with on the side. Also the bone could be a bit much. That aside, its awesome and Id be sure to come back for more and to try other dishes.

I like their dried fish chili the most.

Today I came here again to order two boxes of chicken chop rice. Why did I say I m here again? It s because I had a bad experience before. I clearly ordered that it didn t want spicy food, but they made it spicy. This happened to me twice. ! I worked all day after get off work to take care of my kids, and I was already very tired. I chose it for convenience. After all, it s really cheap. So I m really angry today and have to talk here. My kids can t eat spicy food, but I haven t looked back. I found out when I got home that I was speechless. I called them and said that they also said that I should emphasize that it is not spicy. Isn t it the last time that you said that I should remind you more to avoid making mistakes? I mentioned it twice, and this time I said it twice, but they were still wrong. They even asked me to come over and change it on the phone. Are you sick? My home is a 30-minute drive from this store. Then he asked me what I would do if you dont come. He also smiled and told me that there was nothing I could do if he didnt come! Didnt even say sorry, the service attitude was very bad! I wont come back again, so disappointed. I hope other guests, especially mothers with children, will be more careful if they don t eat spicy food!

small menu but the food is really good fast service

Strong recommend the ribs. Its crispy outside and tender inside. The crust is pretty juicy and flavourful.

First time ever complain this. My husband and I very love to eat the pork chop rice. But not this time, cause the vegetable and rice, even the pork chop are cold. Super disappointed!

Relatively delicious with fair prices and they serve fast.

This is a classic OG spot. Their No. 1 pork chop rice is the must try. Big piece of tender pork chop thats fried without a batter, served with a hefty portion of rice, vegetables (nappa and broccoli) and some braised form tofu and a marinated egg. You can get it spicy which means theyll add a little pile of chopped red chilis. Cash only. Food comes out fast!!

dead fly I almost vomited before I even started eating.

Food are good, big portion.

We decided to give this store a new chance after lockdown, because we hate the services there before everything was lockdown. However, we went there for take-out last weekend. The service was still bad even it is a take-out store. They still hold onto that rude attitude even just serving take-out bento boxes. Totally not worth going there for the food at all. We decided NOT to go back anymore.

Ill let you guys/ladies be the judge on this, my sister order food from the place it comes with two bags she grab one but forgot the other, when she got home at Richmond Hill she realize it and ask me to check with them on the way home so i did, and the their worker told me other customer must toke it as there was nothing left behind? do you let customers pick up take out orders without checking? most likely not.. I think they just toke it and use for next order, if Im right that is very poor service and un respectful for a paying customer and I will left at that, although i do like the food there but I wont return for these type of poor service...

Quality has noticeably gone down over the years. Meat is precooked and not fresh.

The food is not bad. The service attitude of the fat girl who collects money needs to be improved

Good food and good service!

Food was ok, but service was really poor and not professional at all compared to the other food shops inside the food court! It was very bad before....now even worse! Unbelievable rude ladies serving at the front ! Shouting and very mean!

Quality and Quantity has noticeably continually gone down over the years, but the price has been going up a lot. Meat is precooked and not fresh. The service was still bad. They still hold onto that rude attitude even just serving take-out bento boxes. Totally not worth going there for the food at all. NOT to go back anymore.

Have been a customer for 10+ years whenever we are near. Their food is delicious and consistently delicious with good quality at reasonable price. Thats a 5 stars for a foodcourt vendor to me. I am fine with the price increase recently given the Covid challenge and everything costs more now.

Maybe the boss thinks that at this price you can only enjoy this service! I originally wanted to try it. Many people said it was delicious, but I gave up the idea after seeing everyone s comments. If you originally want to serve low-consumer groups at affordable prices, you must also know how to respect others. Give it to Samsung

The price has gone up! The takeaway boxes have also become smaller. The boss is very good at doing business.

i was pretty disappointed with the service and the food on my recent visit. I had tried their food, it was good and it was recommended by my girlfriends. The popular pork chop dish I got last time, the pork chop was cold, the fat around the pork chop became very greasy. The rice was not soft. it was like sand. Also ordered a beef brisket with soup, not very tasty. The staffs there were not very pleasant with taking orders. I hope the management make an effort to change to bring back the good quality of food.

The food is delicious, not expensive, and the food is served quickly. I just can t ask for a good attitude. After all, business is booming, haha

Although it is not the same as Jinyuan in Taiwan, it is still OK as an ordinary bento shop Maybe next time I can eat chicken. Love their dried tofu.

Its a good cause if you want to go fast, and it tastes good. Remember to ask for chili and sauerkraut

One of my top no-brainer choice for take out food.

The pork rib rice is too fat. The chicken rib rice tastes different every time. It has been raised twice in a row. Cash is also taxed

Get option #1, its delicious!! Ive been eating here quite often for many, many years now and it never gets old. The price has rose over the years, but its still delicious and the food comes quick.

Famous pork ribs rice. Delicious and Affordable price. More than 10 years.you will love it.

We were in the area and decided to stop by for lunch. The pork ribs rice was delicious but I found it a little bit fattening. The Taiwanese beef noodle was awesome. Totally recommended it.

On the afternoon of April 25, 2019, we came to Jinyuan Spare Ribs in Metropolis Canton Food Center to enjoy delicious food. At 12:43 on February 5, 2020, Liang Qingxiang enjoyed the fish cutlet rice of Jinyuan Spare Ribs at the Metropolitan Plaza Food Center for $7.25 plus tax.

The taste is still good, please confirm the business hours. I went to the listed business several times but closed early. Even if the person is still there, it won t be done!

not bad

I really cant stand it anymore. More than once, I want to ask your shop assistant, are the meals at your home always so dirty? If the lid of the lunch box is not fastened tightly and it is put into the bag, it will be spilled every time. How can you let the guests eat? Moreover, every time you go to order food, the service attitude of the waiter feels like someone owes you money. You should really reflect on it. If the media exposes your sanitary conditions, or the health bureau comes to check, will you pass the test?

Hands-down the best pork-chop rice bento in the city.

The price is fair and food is yummy. Dont think the ingredients are very fresh as the leftover went bad quickly (less than a day) even stored in fridge. But you pay for what you get so no complaint. A good place for cheap eat!

Delicious food for a quick lunch or dinner.

Tasteful

Too delicious.. less than 10 dollor and get a combo. 200% satisfy.

Amazing Taiwanese takeout, try the chicken or porkchop!

The employees have a very bad attitude, are indifferent and very rude. I was really blind for giving a tip.

Very authentic Taiwanese food

The chicken chop rice tastes very good. It s mainly cheap, priced at six to seven yuan. There are a lot of people complaining about the service attitude.

I just found out about her shop today. The prices here are a bit expensive. A box of pork rib rice costs 15 yuan, which is quite expensive. I lent my colleague 5 yuan. I thought my colleague also bought mine. I didn t eat today. Im so hungry!

Arrogant. Do not accept clients comments. Refused to accept a ripped bill that is 99% intact. Obviously knows nothing about currency acceptance laws. Will not visit again.

Good food!

Boss, what you make is delicious, but can you clean up the pork hair that controls the meat? I have eaten so much braised pork, and only the one you and the National Army made (the National Armys is pigs feet) has hair on it. I lost my appetite after watching it.

A really good place for just a food court location.

Taiwan style pork chop combo is very good and well priced. Popcorn chicken is good too but be prepared to wait an extra 15 minutes for it.

Authentic Taiwanese food. Must get No. 1 on the menu, pork chop on steam rice. Secret menu item is the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken, just ask for it and its usually sell out early. The spicy option with the pepper provides a nice kick. Cash only. Dont shy away if theres a line, because I never had to wait longer than a few minutes for my order.

I ordered the pork chop on rice based on everyone elses reviews as well as the chicken filet on rice and beef brisket on rice. The food is very tasty and their vegetarian sides were very good. The only thing I didnt like was the texture of the eggs. It was very chewy/tough.

They had been inside Metro Square more than 18 years

Very Taiwanese style meal. Recommend the paiku (pork chops). If you like spicy, remember to ask for the chili , it tastes really good.

Still delicious after all these years

This place has been around for a very long time and has been very good. Tastes pretty authentic and portion/variety is great. It is worth trying for sure.

I rarely give people bad reviews. I have heard that this restaurant is a good place to eat. The food tastes really good, just like a normal food court. The key is that the waiter (maybe the boss lady) makes me happy. I just cant stand it. It was my first time to go there, and I wasnt very good at ordering. She would answer any questions you asked in a very uncomfortable tone, as if she was scolding you with a smile, as if you were a country bumpkin. This meal made me so angry that I will never go there again. The two stars are entirely for the food, because the food is innocent.

Our favorite place for a quick dinner before any after school extracurricular activities.

Service is fast

Really good beef brisket noodle soup, considering it is only $8.25 including tax!!!

they didn t give me the egg in my take out

Oil used for too long

Authentic Taiwanese food

Very very Taiwan favor! Love it and you should try it too.

I have been coming coming here for over a decade. The food is always great and the price is always right. The fish fillet meal has been my go-to. This place is never disappointing.

I used to LOVE this place the food is undoubtedly great, havent had better pork chop anywhere... BUT I FOUND A STRAIGHT UP COCKROACH IN MY FOOD. BEWARE

Delicious. The ribs are very fragrant.

I eat it when I really miss Taiwanese food, but there is no choice of side dishes. It s the same every time. The taste is okay for Toronto.

generally

Pork meal came with side dish and egg was good, you have soup or soy milk option for drinks. another order of beef noodle soup was tasty and flavorful, but little bit oily. I think the price was reasonable. BUT, the service was not very friendly, quite busy at noon.

The pork chop they make is absolutely authentic tasting, delicious and CHEAP PRICE. Dont expect top service since its a food court establishment, I HATE THE PEOPLE who pays under $10 for food and expect a 5-star dining experience. (Get some common sense)

The best traditional Taiwanese porkchops in the GTA. The rice noodle soup is also a must, but available after 3pm on Sundays only.

Full of Taiwanese flavor So healing

Worst customer service ever!

Best deep fried pork chop in town. Great price ,big protion.

The taste is okay and I have eaten there several times, but recently the merchants may feel that they are making less money, and now they have to pay taxes in cash.

Very affordable and delicious
