2.5 Star
Came here during Soft Opening and the experience was a little disappointing.
I have been to the Golden Horse Restaurant location in Markham numerous of time and though it was not the best but at least a consistent 3 star experience.
I have to admit I was a little excited when this location opened up as the interior is more spacious and not as dark as their first location. But I guess there is a price to pay for that? Everything is more pricey than the original location and one of the most expensive HK style cafe in the area.
Their set dinner starting at $13 or so. And it is a fried rice with soup and drink. A bowl of Beef Brisket Noodle without drink is $7.75. And if you want one of those Sizzling Hot Plate Dinner is $20.99 and up.
I don't mind paying if the food is amazing but what we ordered were quite standard.
Cordon Bleu Pork Chop ($13.25) and Buddy Minced Pork Noodle ($8.25) both as a la carte were so so. For the Cordon Bleu, some better sides should be offered instead of just plain boiled unseasoned broccoli and spaghetti/rice.
Service was lacking as the servers were busy eating their own dinner. I have to wave them down furiously to place my order, ask for sharing bowls/plates and even to pay for the bill.
Maybe my conception of Hong Kong Style Cafe as restaurant where one can get good food at affordable price is no longer valid? I doubt I would be back again as there are so many restaurants in the area that has much better food at more competitive price.
