This is a new Asian fusion spot on the quaint little street of Main Street Markham. The decor is fairly modern and well put together, however there are not a lot of seats. Dined here with two girlfriends on a Thursday night so we were able to snag a table at 7:30 without waiting. For a spot that just opened a month ago, the place was fairly busy.
The concept is Asian fusion. It is a fancy type of Asian fusion since they have things like truffle and duck confit on the menu. If you're someone looking to impress a foodie, you must come to Azyun!
The server was very friendly and gave us recommendations and menu specials. Overall the concept is tapas style where you share multiple dishes. I wouldn't say this is an izakaya either because the servings are bigger than an izakaya. We ordered the truffle fried rice, duck confit noodles, fried chicken and mantou bun. The truffle fried rice smelled like perfection and came with a generous serving of different types of mushrooms. Duck confit noodles were also very flavourful - barely tasted the duck but the combination of ingredients were awesome. The fried chicken also came in a generous serving - quite good for sharing. Plus, it came with pickled veggies that were an excellent complement to the perfectly fried chicken!
Our bill came up to be $45 which was pretty good for a group of 3 people! Our server was very attentive, always checking up on us and refilling our water every chance he got.
I would definitely come back to bring my other foodie friends to this spot. Happy to have tried and looking forward to seeing new menu items!
