| - Location/Service
- Right in the heart of Main Street Markham
- Street parking is available and there are some small parking lots around the area. Suggest carpooling if possible, cause it does get pretty busy during peak hours
- Very small restaurant, around 15-20 people seating. There is a patio available to accommodate more guests
- Nice simple decor, like their use of blackboard to promote dishes of the day or new items
- Staff were very nice, friendly and knowledgeable. I like how the Manager were able to provide beers that will match well with each of the dishes
Food
This review will be based off an Yelp Event. The restaurant serves Asian-fusion cuisine, tapas style.
- Seared Tuna Rice Toast. Good portion of tuna is served over a small bed of toasted rice as the base. I like the Serrano chili that adds in a spicy kick to the overall taste. Didn't taste much of the miso avacado, but still enjoyable. If the rice toast was a little more burnt, that would be perfect!
- Pork Jowl Skewers. One of my favourites - pork jowl is the cheek of the pig, and can do as far to the neck. It's not as fat compared to pork belly, but they have sous-vide into a very similar taste and feel. The Habanero glaze really marinated well and the pork itself was tender and soft.
- Prawn Toast. A prawn that's fried in Panko crust, which is similar to a tonkatsu. The prawn was a smaller than I thought - but the crust itself was a nice compliment together. You can dip it with Nuoc Cham Sauce (a Vietnamese dipping sauce), which also matched well
- Fried Chicken Mantou Sandwich. Also one of my favourites. The kimchi and bun itself were self-made, which are very good. The fried chicken is a soy chili brine that is made for 48 hours! Very tender and easy to chew - matched very well with the kimchi mayo
- Truffle Fried Rice. Interesting mix of fusion cuisines. It's truffle oil used in the dish, which still adds a huge flavor as a whole. I like how they use a small quail egg along with mushrooms that balances out the taste and provide a comforting end to the meal
Overall , I really enjoyed Azyun and kudos on the creativity fusion mixes of each dish. It's a good intimate place to share tapas and chit-chat. Would definitely comeback to try some of their other items available.
