We have been to many Chinese restaurants in the Richmond Hill area and this is one of the best. The have a wide variety of dishes so everyone can choose something they like. Their hot sauce is the best I have had (we even bought some for takeout). Hours are very good as well since they are open late. The service is quick and we always seem to get seated fast despite the initial appearance that the lineup is long. Been there several times and never had a bad meal.

Came here during the Victoria Day long weekend for their lunch buffet. Wow!! Talk about a feast. The weekend lunch buffet is wonderful! And all-you-can-eat for $20. Can't beat this. Taste is excellent. Naan is very nice. That's important. The butter chicken is fantastic. And the tandoori chicken is succulent: moist and tender. Well worth the price and the place was packed! I'm not surprised...

Very impressed with a first visit to Inspire. Thoughtful details distinguished each dish we sampled - variety of flavours, textures, cooking styles. Everything was enjoyable, satisfying and often surprising. Started with a California Nachos with taro chips, ahi, avocado, pickled onion, jalapeños and spicy mayo, which was excellent. Hanoi Greens salad was enlivened by pomegranate, radish, beats and more chilies.Our three entrees were all delicious. A playful Udon Carbonara with spicy sausage instead of bacon, and served with a raw quail egg. Thai meatballs with coconut, which were succulent and pricked with spicy heat. The Moco Loco, with both a dutiful observance of traditional Hawaiian composition - a housemade medium rare burger served on rice, but it was taken a notch higher with Shiitake Demi glaze, crispy onion strings and sautéed shrimp. (Unfortunately, the must have fried egg atop the gorgeous plate, was quite over cooked which took away from the unctuous blend of gravy and runny yolk...)Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.Definitely planning a return visit. Lots of similarly adventurous items we were tempted to try!

The Ding Tai Fung restaurant serves tasty Shanghai-style Chinese food. The restaurant is smaller than normal dim sum Chinese restaurants, which was a nice change from the usual giant gathering places in Markham. I understand there are often line-ups out the door at lunch/dinnertime - we went in mid-afternoon and had a quiet meal with only a few other customers which was pleasant. I recommend the crab dumplings which were superb, along with any of the usual dim sum items of your choice on the large menu. The food is prepared fresh (you can watch the staff preparing the dumplings) and tastes lovely but flavours are a bit more 'subtle' than the spicy or overly-MSG-ed Chinese dishes you may be accustomed to at other restaurants. The cost for two was about $60 for a large meal (with left-overs to take home) which is a bit more than your usual local Chinese diner, but worth it - even the tea was superior and much more full-bodied than the normal weak tea you get served at regular restaurants. We will return to enjoy more of the options on the menu. Enjoy!

We have been to Congee Queen many times and this time we were very disappointed with the service. The food we ordered was 20 minutes late due to some mix up in the kitchens. The server was not apologetic at all even though we had to remind her to check about our order. The hostess was very nice and tried to calm us down. The soup was delicious as well as the turnips. The stir fried beef was not very tasty.

This Mandarin place located in Markham, Ontario is one of the better all you can eat buffet restaurant in the area especially if you are hungry. This place has Chinese, Japanese, and Canadian food. They have a good selection of hot, cold and sweet desserts. They even have a full bar for variety of drinks. Services are so so.

Thank goodness our friends had booked a table as this place (open from 11:00-23:00) was full even when we arrived there at 17:30.The majority of clients are Asian. Yes, the staff are not fluent in English, and the duration of the meal is 2 hours. The service was efficient. Other restaurants can inspire themselves to the logistic of the Fishman lobster clubhouse restaurant.Weâd ordered the menu with the lobster (3kg) HKG style with scrumptious fries and white bait. A broth cooked with black chicken, pork, gogis and Chinese herbs...... and fried rice as Iâd never had before came with the menu. There was also a plate of sugar snaps and gogis. The lobster was very flavoursome and fresh. The meal ended with a few macarons. The price is reasonable, the bill came round to $140+ for 4 (with doggie bags). I highly recommend this restaurant to any seafood lover. If we have time, we might even go back for another treat for our eyes and mouth before we return to Paris at the end of next week as we most certainly cannot find this type of Chinese food there!

Enjoyed the Sushi Kaiseki tasting menu with my hunny on Valentine's. A bit on the expensive side, but we save these dinners for special occasions. The variety on the menu is wonderful. Service is very precise and not overbearing. Actually wanted to sit at the sushi bar (up close to the action) but for Kaiseki menu, we were only allowed to sit at a table.

We visited the Black Bear Japanese Fusion for the second time on Saturday night. First time just hubby and me, this time with another couple. It was great to be able to book using Open Table. The small and simple restaurant was packed on both occasions and was noisy and filled with laughter, but not enough so that we couldnât have a conversation. There are so many delicious items on the menu itâs hard to choose. One can be adventurous and pick something totally foreign to eat, or if you are more conventional you can get a regular burger and fries or a salad. Our friends both opted for a shrimp burger served with mango salsa and a side salad. They thoroughly enjoyed their choice. My husband ordered spaghetti with teriyaki steak and a tomato sauce, and I decided to be brave and ordered Kimchi Sukiyaki beef udon and I had no idea what to expect. My husband was happy with his choice and I am still raving about my pick. The soup was spicy and so flavourful, filled with mushrooms and meat and noodles and it was served in a huge bowl. Service was quick and friendly and prices reasonable. Their drinks menu had some interesting cold beverages like fresh lime or lemon soda, mock-tails and more. Desserts sounded decadent but we were too stuffed to sample. Definitely one of the nicest places we have discovered in a long time. Plenty of free parking too. We will be going back soon.
