Took my family here for my dad's birthday dinner and I conclude with one word "disappointment".
From the get go the service is least you can expect from a place that has the word "gourmet" in it.
There were no recommendations from the waitresses despite the restaurant being fully staffed on a Monday evening.
The set dinner B was chosen which came to $97 before tips. Portions are decent sized for a Chinese restaurant claiming "Chiu Chow" fusion. The spicy pork stomach soup was extremely spicy and hot in temperature which was promising start. Everything else following it was dish after dish of disappointment served at fast food pace. The so called "Chiu Chow" dishes were nothing but bogus renamed dishes from canton style. Dishes include: tofu cold duck with tofu, fried fish, veggies with mushrooms, fried lobster, spicy stir fry chicken.
Finally the Dessert was purple sesame toro mix. The mixture was so thick you could of mistaken it as congee or Heinz baby food.
Overall there is nothing "Chiu Chow" about it and is unmatched with local Chinese restaurants in Markham. The "gourmet" is just to fool you to dine and pay extra for their fast food service. If you want fast food I'm sure the food courts at first Markham place can do a lot better at half their price. Let's hope that there will be a legit "Chiu chow" eatery soon to redeem it's name because clearly the Chiu chow tasty menu items are unfound.
