Totally deserving the High ratings on Yelp. I first noticed this new restaurant on yelp that piqued my interest. Most if not almost all reviews were positive. Just a few doors down Inspire, Azyun is another welcome addition in Main Street north of markham.
I tried almost everything on their menu with a group of 5 foodies except for the salmon rice dish because it ran out, which gives me the incentive to go back again and again and again. Easily shared tapas dishes that u can just order the whole menu except that some dishes are hard to share. Their menus keeps updating so it is always fresh and innovative.
I like pretty much everything from Azyun except one dish, which is the 3 cups chicken. Most people will expect that 3 cups chicken taiwanese dish but this is totally not the same thing. It is a lo mai gai instead , aka the sticky wrap rice.
My top 3 dishes are:
Truffles fried rice
Confit duck biang biang noodles
Ox tongue sandwiches
Cons:
small place so reservations may be needed unless you don't mind sitting at the counter.
Parking isn't that hard but is very limited on the streets.
Or park at green p parking and walk over.
Can be very traficky to get there during rush weekend hours. Advised to go earlier during the week to avoid waiting.
Since it is tapas, can be kind of pricey but for the food quality of the dishes, it's worth it.
They will be open for brunch starting on March the 10th - alas I can't go that weekend to try :(
I recommend to try this restaurant soon as it will only get extremely busy as good word of mouth spread. It is less busier during early of the week.
