Open to historical influences, Taiwanese flavours gained complexity through fusion of indigenous Taiwanese, Japanese, and Chinese culinary ingredients and techniques. Embark on the ultimate experience of Taiwanese gourmet food and street eats accompanied by a curated selection of fine teas, sake, cocktails, and beer. Housed under the roof of First Markham Place, we invite our patrons to an unforgettable dining experience in our bustling spaces like our own family.

This place is open late and has a nice vibe. The service was great and food was tasty. We got the popcorn chicken, minced beef, and a hotpot dish. Lots of parking during the night, gets busy during the day since it is part of a huge plaza containing other restaurants and stores.
The menu had many options, including rice, noodles, sizzling plates, and individual hot pots, as well as apps, drinks, and dessert. They even have a selection of kids' meals options that come with dessert and a (very) small drink. Everything was pretty decent. Seating is comfortable with many booths, and the decor was cute (a retro vibe with neon signs and other older furnishings and decor). We had an earlier dinner so there weren't too many people, and we were seated and got our meals fairly quickly.
One of our regular places with good food. Got the curry chicken cheese with baked rice. The assorted meat in the container was pretty huge. Sizzling platter is always good. Service is good. We were lucky to get a space as it got busy afterwards.
Food is amazing and service is very quick! I had no wait to get a table and someone was by almost immediately with water and cutlery. I ordered the creamy potato and curry udon with shrimp tempura and it was hot, fresh, and delicious! I also got a mango honey cube toast for myself and my husband to celebrate his birthday and the staff added a little happy birthday decal to the top of the dessert! Overall a great experience, will be back for sure!
The atmosphere is lively, they have a big selection of food. To be completely honest the service is good food came on time, they were very polite. The food was just a tad bit mid BUT it wasn’t bad. The beef ribs were just really chewy, my beef hot plate with cheese was good. Overall for late night eats spot a solid 8.5
Come for the food and the vibes. Their hotpot is as good as the ones in Taiwan. Love the decor and the flavor of the dished. There's something for everyone's pallet here! If your in the area give it a try! Definitely get the hot pot tho. They also have cool looking desserts I didn't get to try but looked amazing as well!
The concept intrigues, and the atmosphere is indeed a fun one so it suits a group/social vibe very well. The food on the other hand is alright. We all enjoyed what we ordered but I wouldn't say any of the dishes impressed. The taste is not consistent from visit-to-visit, and in my opinion, some dishes are more worth ordering than others. For example, if you have access to/can make at home a good meat and preserved vegetable rice dish, skip it at Mabu because their version of it is only ok (leaves something to be desired. The flavour is two-dimensional at best). You're better off ordering such traditional dishes elsewhere. The udon noodles were a 5/10, the flavour had an instant ramen quality and the noodles themselves were plainly average in texture. Other funky items, which can be found throughout the menu, and the personal hot pot dishes as well are probably better executed. And, the novelty would, I think, offer a better experience. I recommend this restaurant for the atmosphere, especially if you're seeking out a social setting for dinner. Be mindful of your expectations with the food and what you order. The service was alright. We would've appreciated all of the food being brought out within a closer time interval. The first dish arrived nearly 10 minutes before the second. Then from there the fifth and last one came still later.
Came back for the first time in a few years, overall a very good experience. No wait to get a table on Saturday night and service was fast. Food was great (especially the sizzling plate), large portions and served hot. Just wish the tables/chairs and floors were cleaned better, they seemed a bit greasy from the previous customers. Unfortunately, a red flag I noted is that they promote a free drink in exchange for making a 5 star review, while the experience was good I would take the Google rating with a grain of salt.
Great lunch spot, the fried chicken was so tender and juicy. Had the pork knuckle rice bowl and some peach green teas which were both great. Pretty busy spot and all the ordering is done through the table QR code, not traditional wait staff. Service was quick though.
The service was ok. Nice staff but not attentive. Good not amazing. Will come again
Great place! very nice service and friendly!
crazy good food
Bad experience - some servers do not have their attentions on customer rather than their cellphones or being busy of talking with other coworkers No doubt as others mentioned recently, the service has been so bad that my family doesn t even visit them on a weekly basis. We used to enjoy their Taiwanese hotpot, but the service is just so bad. BTW perhaps learn from your DT location. Much better as far as I can tell
The food is great and the service is good
First visit to Mabu Generation since the pandemic, and the cozy, old-school vibe was a welcome surprise. Tried Chilled Mango Sago, Brick Toast with Condensed Milk and Ovaltine, and HK Lemon Tea with Bear Ice. The crispy toast filled with condensed milk was amazing, and the bear-shaped ice kept my tea perfectly chilled with dense presence of lemon black tea, though I spent half the time wondering why I couldnt stop breaking the bear with my spoon... Will definitely return to try more of their menu!
Spiritual enlightenment takes the form of cheese broccoli. It s a fact.
I just ordered egg noodles with meat and egg. The lunch meat was smelly. I went to the toilet and vomited. After reporting it to the merchant, I was given a 13% off discount when I paid for it, but no one cares about the 3-4 dollars! I still have acid reflux in my stomach. Coincidentally, my friend just ordered takeout from his house and said the meatballs were sour. The food was too bad and I won t go there again.
Mabu Generation: A Mixed Bag. The grilled angus beef short rib was tough and chewy, unfortunately. Ordering via phone scan was convenient but the overall experience was underwhelming. Broccoli was just okay.
One of my favourite spots to go to in Markham. The food is reasonably priced, tasty and the service staff were very accommodating. We celebrated my friends birthday here and it was an overall great experience. The inside is a great vibe and I love how it is easy to order via mobile.
Their beef hot plate tasted great and the service here is very fast.
I ate there for the first time last month and tried the braised beef noodles. There were only six or seven pieces of braised beef that were as thin as the size of the platter. The price and the portion were really too much!
Nov 20, 2024 We were craving a good mini hotpot and Taiwanese popcorn chicken and Mabu Generation delivered with flying colours. The food has been consistently awesome every time we visit. The Snow Pear Osmanthus Tea was a good fragrant tea. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was awesome. Would definitely recommend. The Cheese Garlic Roasted Meatball with bolognese spaghetti was delicious and flavourful. Sukiyaki Hot Pot with Udon was awesome. The broth was flavourful and savoury. It added great flavour to the beef slices, assortment of meat balls, crab sticks, tofu and veggies. The portions of meat and veggies for this mini hot pot is generous :) Would definitely recommend. __ Sept 2024 Taiwanese food that is consistently delicious with service that is quick. It s our go to place if we are craving a good Taiwanese popcorn chicken, Taiwanese style BBQ sausage & mince pork rice bowl or mini hot pot. Taiwanese popcorn chicken is awesome. A perfect combo of crispiness and tender chicken on the inside. Would definitely recommend. Taiwanese style BBQ sausage & mince pork rice bowl was good. They give you a hefty portion of rice. Cheese Garlic Roasted Meatball with bolognese spaghetti was awesome. The meatball was super delicious and seasoned well. The spaghetti was perfectly cooked and the bolognese sauce was delicious.
Love the hotpot dishes at this place. Also service is fabulous!

Great food, great service!
Yummy!
Vegetarian food was okay, but the service was good. They had two large TVs that were showing videos of cutting up animals which ruined my day. Do we need TVs in restaurants at all? Vegetarian options: I had scrambled eggs with hash browns inside a green onion pancake which was pretty good. The deep fried tofu was greasy snack food, so be aware if you re choosing that as your protein.
This is the best dessert! I always come here for these milk cubes! Delicious!
The food is amazing. Its also a good place to take pictures.
Thanks!

Food is delicious and service is great!
super nice atmosphere and good food
Food is yummy!
I love how my friends and I can come here late in the evening after 10 pm to hang out, as its one of the rare few restaurants that stays opened into midnight. I dont love how its always packed and we have to wait for seats, prob because theres really nowhere else for people to go and hang out thats opened. At the same time, I do like the menu offered as it ranges from appertizers to pretty drinks to savory food to desserts. In my case, I ordered a mango dessert that was yum. What I dont love is the inconsistency of friendly service. Its like a mood swing. Overall, everything checks out and if service is friendlier, this place would be awesome!!
Really lovely location Food is excellent and reasonably priced.
So delicious and yummy will come again
So good and so yummy

Got the satay beef, and it really wasnt what we ordered. It tasted like bland curry beef. Even from looking at it does not look satay.
Great food
Nice food and service I love it. Will definitely come back Food
Nice
Prices are good and serving sizes are decent. I d recommend the pepper lunch dishes.
I visited Mabu Generation for afternoon tea and dessert and was pleasantly surprised by the high-quality dining experience. The restaurant s exterior features inviting wooden-textured signage with stylized text in both Chinese and English. Inside, the ambiance is cozy with dark tones, artistic wall drawings, and leather seating, evoking early modern Taiwan. The decor was clean and thoughtfully designed. Ordering is done via QR code, and while the menu is extensive, I decided to try a few standouts: A02 Mango Sago Cream wth Pomelo: A refreshing dessert of creamy mango, chewy sago pearls, and tangy pomelo pieces, perfectly chilled and rich. E03 Ovaltine Condensed Milk French Toast: A thick slice of French toast soaked in condensed milk, with a delicious sprinkling of Ovaltine powder. The toast was crispy and sweet, with the perfect amount of creaminess. G02 Hong Kong Style Milk Tea: Served in a premium cup, the tea had a smooth, pleasant flavor despite some powder settling at the bottom. G05 Teddy Bear Lemon Tea: An adorable frozen teddy bear-shaped lemon tea, served with a side pour-over tea for a fun bath. Light, refreshing, and not too bitter. The service was friendly, and the restaurant maintained a relaxed vibe. I loved the quirky mahjong-tiled hallway leading to the clean bathroom. Overall, Mabu Generation left a great impression, and I can t wait to return to try more of their menu!

Good food
There were a lot of options on the menu, you have to scan the QR code to view the menu and order your food and drinks online. Very efficient and the food came quickly. Parking: Parking in First Markham Place is always busy
So much variety, so good!
Huge variety. Modern hip decor.
Good times
This is a pretty regular Taiwanese fusion place, with your usually expected dishes. The fried foods are always crispy and fresh and the food is usually good. What makes this place a five star is the atmosphere: there s a bar table but not to sit at, with a nice bustling vibe. I would recommend highly.
soooo good!!
Delicious food
Best in Toronto
