Vietnamese spring roll great. Very crispy : crispiest Vietnamese spring roll I've had. Stuffing good too. Quite a lot of meat, good texture & taste and was well balanced, albeit slightly greasy.
Wok lemongrass beef was good. It was well fried, with a subtle lemongrass taste; on the menu, "cho lon" refers to shrimp sauce (non-spicy). "Malaysian" refers to spicy shrimp sauce (belachan).
Yellow curry Dungeness crab , fish cakes , grilled lamb chops , big head shrimp (direct translation), pile of lobster , green chicken curry (too salty). All dishes were very good. Service is excellent!
Malaysian anchovy wok baby bok choy had very fresh vegetables , but the flavour was not really seared in. The belachan had some aroma, but no heat at all. The smoky wok flavour (wok hei) was lacking.
Mandarin sign: they do High class Vietnamese. There's dishes you don't find elsewhere, e.g. seafood . There's even live seafood tanks. Unfortunately food is uneven in quality though portions are big.
Cho lon fried noodles with pork & shrimp disappointing. Flavour wasn't seared in properly & it lacked wok hei. The sauce was not evenly stirred in either - parts of the noodles were still quite white
Curry crab is amazing. Must order with roti . Prepare to get messy!
Yummy crab , garlic oysters , and chilli prawns . Go early or make reservations .
MUST TRY(IES): curry crab , bbq pork neck meat.
Must try crab curry !!!! #1
They have hard selling waitresses . They will try their hardest to make you eat the curry crab .
There are peanuts in EVERYTHING (crab , curry , appetizers ). The curry sauce is gelatinous and the $40 crab is tiny. Service left a lot to be desired and toilets are dirty . Move along...
Pho for lunch
MUST TRY curry crab and pork neck
Curry crab
Order the curry crab : "king of one dish 2007"
What's so good about the curry crab here? Overrated IMO.
The traditional beef noodle soup (pho ) is mediocre! Nothing special! The broth is salty and stale!
$65 for 6 prawns . Wasn't even good..clearly they were frozen. Do not order!!
i love this place for the egg tarts, hk tea and the green tea cake! - Jocelyn Lau
The tom yum beef pho is delicious. Their larges are huge. - Minnie Cheng
Don't get the Coconut Chicken with soup. It's really diluted and the flavour isn't too good either. - Charlie Wu
Excellent service and consistent quality! Portions are very generous and prices are competitive. Eat well! - Richard Hong
Best teas in markham worth the 7 bucks a drink. Food is good too but quite small - Mark Kwong
Love the ice and sugar options. Love the Matcha Mousse drink, and the roasted milk tea. Will definitely be back to try the other items. - Janice W
