Another HK cafe in Markham, which means its a must try. The restaurant is just like any other HK cafe in the area, minimally decorated. Fast paced. Hopefully good food. Fried Chicken thigh with fries - First off the chicken was massive. Skin was hella crispy and bubbly. But inorder to achieve that, the chicken was overcooked. Like the ends of the chicken was getting dry, like thai deep fried pork belly dry... On top of that the chicken lacked seasoning, almost no seasoning at all... And for these two reasons, I cannot recommend this. Fries were crispy though. Milk tea was okay. Not enough tea flavour.

If you know what's up with HK cafes, you know this is the spot. Amidst all of the new "fusion" cafes, it has been quite discouraging to try as they don't hold up even a decent quality on top of a high price tag. But new city...they're the GOAT and they know as long as their food is good, they don't need any gimmicks to keep customers coming back. I've had a plethora of menu items from here but my go to is the guilin rice noodles and baked dishes. their french toast is also killer with PB in the middle but don't say I didn't warn you if you feel your coronary arteries start occluding. PSA : cash or debit only!!

I ordered a take out at 11:10am. It took the restaurant 40 mins to prepare the food. The waiter kept apologizing during the 40 mins, but it was just too long for the wait.

Went for their afternoon tea (from 230 to 600). Got their hk style toast. It came with a big slab of butter on top. We cut it up a bit to help speed up the melting process. Comes with the no name syrup. It wasn't crispy but not soggy either. The afternoon tea version comes with peanut butter, but it looks like they have salted egg yolk or coconut on their regular menu. I didn't get as much peanut butter flavor as I would have liked, likely because the bread slices were pretty thick. The milk tea tasted a little salty. Not as much tea flavour. Might order their soya milk next time. Restaurant looks relatively modern inside and felt clean.

Hadn't been here in a long time and I was pleasantly surprised by how well they had kept things up. Prices are decent with good sized portions, service is prompt and the food is tasty. Their milk tea is very good although a bit on the small side. Could be a bit cleaner

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.

4.5/5Milk tea ☕️ 5/5 - It is smooth and not too greasy. The balance between tea and milk is moderate and very balanced.Bacon with scrambled eggs - the eggs are smooth, with egg juice, and the bacon is crispy. Although it is not as delicious as the other with the famous black truffle scrambled eggs, it is still very good. If the fried egg is thicker and the thin egg skin is not eaten, the score will be higher.Satay Beef - Blue Blood is a very important part of Hong Kong-style breakfast. As mentioned above, apart from the authentic and delicious satay beef from another restaurant, Guojianglong, this is the second restaurant to obtain the Pass score. The sand tea is well fried, the soup base is not water, and there are no green beans falling from the sky. If you add some chili shreds and peanut butter, it will be closer to Hong Kong taste, but of course the cost will be more expensive. Perhaps because of fear of peanut sensitivity, almost no store will add peanut butter to stir-fry.All in all, there aren’t many choices for finding a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant for breakfast before 11 o’clock, which is pretty good.

Food is no longer tasteful after owner's change. Not recommended now. Also the prices raised after the change of owner. The vibes here also changed. It is no longer a cha chan tan vibe which Hongkongers should understand.
