Quality of the Food
I have been coming here over 10 years. I think the fact that this place has been here since First Markham Place (FMP) was built is a statement of the quality of the food and service.
If you look at your neighbour's table, most likely they are ordering Xiao Long Bao (Soup Dumplings) and noodles. I highly recommend it as their soup dumpling has never disappointed a picky eater like me. A reminder to let it cool a few minutes when it arrives otherwise it will rip.
I also recommend ordering the war-teep (fried pork dumplings). The skin is perfect (not too thick or thin) and the pork filling is cooked perfectly. There's also soup in there.
Not many people order the fried green pancake which I can understand. Price wise, you can purchase the T&T version and make it at home for the same amount of an order from here. Unless you are really craving it, I would recommend purchasing it from T&T in the frozen section.
Noodles
This place is known for their noodles so order it! In fact the artwork against the wall depicts the long strands of noodles. I'm not sure if customers noticed that, it is perhaps a subliminal message to order it? =P
I recommend ordering the beef noodle soup. The noodles are always cooked perfectly and the amount of beef tenderloins is very generous. I often cannot finish the beef tenderloins and share it with friends and family. The quality of the beef tenderloins are thick slices and cooked perfectly. I'm not too fond of the tenderloins (even though my mom lectures me it's good for my knee joints...) so often avoid eating those parts. I've eaten other beef noodles at FMP and lets just say the beef tenderloins were thin, overcooked and cut
