The all you can eat buffet was presented in a really unique way. They offered a variety of foods and desserts. Service was prompt and offered a great experience. I did find the price a little high...

I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend and was not disappointed. This restaurant specializes in dumplings and Shanghai cuisine. The dumplings are out of control! Especially the soup dumplings and the Shanghai wontons. Everything is so good and I continuously go back to this place. The service is okay, and you often have to wait as it can get very busy, but I promise, it is worth it. Although some others say the prices are high, I personally feel that the prices are very good for what you get.

Traditional Steak House
Reviewed By Wild_Radek - Toronto, Canada
This wonderful place is the benchmark that we use to measure all the other excellent places we visit. Daniels NYC and Mastro’s City Hall in Phoenix dare to come close.
For the very best in service and food go here. When we go, we get stuck on our favorites but friends and family are impressed with everything on the menu. Service is practiced and polished throughout. We’ll be back :)
5. Old Curiosity Tea Shop

Reviewed By Jo-Anne J - West Kelowna, Canada
A charming tea house with so much to offer...quiet, refined ambience and a great luncheon menu. The perfect setting amidst Markham Main Street shops. Extensive listing of teas and traditional English fare. So many artifacts and authentic Victorian era of interest. A family run business steeped (excuse the pun) in an era gone by. Delightful place!
6. Zen Japanese Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 100 reviews
Zen Japanese Restaurant is aiming for the preservation of the traditional culture of Japanese cuisine, which gives the best impression of the cuisine to the patron while being loved by them.
Reviewed By rmwso - Toronto, Canada
After Reading a number of good reviews, we were looking forward to try the food at Zen. We tried Omakase sushi as well as Omakase sashimi and a few other items from the a la carte. Food was good but rather ordinary, and portions were small, we have had much better Japanese food in Toronto. Service was quick and good.

Reviewed By PortL15 - Cambridge, Canada
I have to say... and I never thought I’d say it... this is great food and a new close second to my favourite Indian food restaurant.
The veg pakoras and the Chana masala were the best I’ve ever had. The buffet food is presented beautifully and you would never know that you’re eating buffet food. The food is also spicy but not when it first hits your tongue, it takes a bit to settle in but they provide you with lots of water for that. I found myself trying new dishes without question because the spices all work together so beautifully.
Now the downside: management were yelling and screaming when I got there as they were finalizing the lunch buffet. Definitely a turn off for a first timer. Also, the price is a bit much for lunch. I would say $12-15 would be more reasonable. Most people I saw were only have a plate and a half or so because it is all so good and so filling. $20 is a hard take at lunch, no matter how good the food is.
I will probably be back but for take out.
8. The School Restaurant

Great ambiance promising more than they delivered. The place is packed yet they’re under staffed.
My steak was perfect yet the baked potatoes were cold ... same as the veggies. The servers knew it when they brought it to the table and the kitchen knew it as it went out the door to be served. Did they think we wouldn’t notice? Hmmmm
The king crab was a bit fishy. There’s a lot to like about this place but it isn’t the food.
We won’t be back. :)

My wife and I went to the restaurant for lunch on Valentine's Day. The restaurant was fairly busy but the ambiance was quiet and the staff excellent, knowledgeable and helpful.
My medium rare steak was cooked to perfection, flavourful, tender and juicy.
I have enjoyed 2 previous lunches with excellent salads.

Pleasant interior space and an outdoor patio for drinks and dinner.
Menu has all the usual options.
The food was variable in flavour and had too much sweetener in some dishes.
Onion bhaji was ok but veg pakoras were really not very good.
Service was good.
