| - Pixel 8 Lounge is a small Hong Kong style restaurant located in the Berzy area in Markham on Kennedy Rd north of 16th Avenue. It's one of a dozen or so other restaurants in a small L shaped plaza with ample parking free available.
Having dined here several times I have grown accustom to the black and white decor and orange seating, bench on one side, chair on the other. Several flat screen TVs play chinese shows or movies, giving this place a homey feel. Seating for approximately 60 people this venue offers simple and affordable Chinese and Japanese style meals with a variety beverages. Alcohol is available but the specialty here is the wide range of hot and cold tea flavours. Some are presented in strange glass containers with suspended leaves or petals. I haven't tried all bit the most tame cold sweet teas so your mileage may vary. Try the jasmine cold sweet tea.
I usually get a noodle soups such as the Japanese Ramen or Yumamato Ramen. They are slight variations of the same theme: hot soup, ramen (looks like instant noodles but thicker and more hearty), some type of veggie (like a bokchoy and corn) and some meats (fish ball slices, ham, etc.). It's very tasty, filling and comforting. All for around $5-6 at lunch, it's simple, good eats.
Although I have only given it 3 stars, I do so because as a whole the restaurant is not exception. It's solid, decent HK-style food that I will likely return to sample again.
