New City Restaurant - Markham, Ontario

Typical busy Hong Kong Cafe - we came at around 5pm and it was already very busy, and stayed that way until we left close to 7. The serving staff were all very nice, one waitress even helped to move the table because she was worried it was too tight ... for my older father. The food is pretty standard, but big portion sizes. Pretty good value for the price which is about $15 for all of the baked hk style dishes, soup, and a drink! Read more

I visited New City Restaurant with my friends for a very filling meal, and it was an experience with plenty of stories to tell. The restaurant was very busy, and we had to wait outside for over 15 minutes. We received a numbered paper, but due to the server's English, we ... felt we lost our position because we couldn't tell if she was calling our number or asking about our party size. Eventually, we had to go inside and stop another server for our seat. I'm fairly sure they missed us initially. Inside, the atmosphere was lively, with many people chatting, like a bustling cafe in Hong Kong. We did notice a very strong AC blowing directly on our table, but we got used to it, and it didn't make us too uncomfortable during our stay. Our server had accents, but she took great care to check and double-check our order, which was good. Here's what I ordered: #F Baked Pork Chop with Tomato Sauce: I chose the Russian Borscht, spaghetti, and added cheese on top, as recommended by my friend. The soup was more like a cabbage soup but did a great job of warming up my stomach for the big meal ahead. The baked pork chop with spaghetti was served in a huge bowl with lots of meat and noodles. The extra cheese was grilled to a golden brown, adding a delicious touch. The tomato-based sauce was mild and helped me finish the noodles. The pork chops were huge and meaty, and while I wasn't used to eating pork with tomato sauce, it was quite enjoyable. I managed to finish the entire bowl, though I was very full afterward. Milk Tea: For just a dollar more, I added a milk tea to my meal. It was a strong, unsweetened milk tea that was a perfect ending to the large meal. Overall, I was impressed by the amount of food they served. It was such a great value. Despite the initial confusion with seating, I had a good time and would like to return to try some of their other offerings. Read more

* Under New Management* Very Friendly Staff. Came here with my parents to try out their breakfast. We are very impressed with the customer service provided by the employees here as the previous owner and staff treated customers very badly. They are one of the best team of servers among the ... HK style cafe in GTA. The portion of the food are very reasonable (as shown in the pics) and very tasty as well. $$$ are very reasonable too. Gotta try it yourself and I would definitely come back with my friends and family :) Read more

Being from Hong Kong we often crave a little bit of the taste of what we grew up on. We pass by New City Restaurant many times and decided to try something new for us today from the normal places we normally go to when we yearn for some ... hometown nostalgia. We arrived on a late Saturday afternoon and the place was still pretty busy and there was only one table available when we got there. We decided to order the Baked Seafood Spaghetti, the Stir Fry Beef Udon on a Sizzling Plate and the Pork Chop Rice. Portions were a bit small, but everything came out great. Our favorite was the Pork Chop Rice because the tomato sauce really transported us back to Hong Kong. The only complaint of there was one, was that there wasn’t as much rice as we would have liked. The Baked Seafood Spaghetti was good, but we would have liked a little more cheese. The Udon tasted good, but gets pretty greasy the closer you get to the plate. The service was amazing for Hong Kong standards. Overall, this was a good experience on par with the other Hong Kong style establishments we normally frequent. Read more
