| - Atmosphere: I went on a weekday and loved that there was no lineup. You are supposed to seat yourself when you get in. We just saw the first available stools and table by the wall and got seated there. It is a small restaurant with a few tables of 4's and 2's in the center of the restaurant and the wall and window we're lined with stools and higher seating. You order at the cashier/bar and pay for your meal and then they will serve it to your table.
Food: very rare you get all day breakfast/brunch item food in Markham. This is not the Chinese breakfast that I'm referring to.... this is the eggs Benny, omelet, chicken and Waffle kind of breakfast. The kind breakfast you normally order from downtown Restaurants on weekends. When I looked at the menu online, I knew I wanted to order the chicken and waffles... But when I saw other people's chicken and waffles order, I didn't like that it is not boneless, so I decided to get the smoked salmon eggs Benny instead.
Eggs Benny was ok ... The home fries were actually slices of mini potatoes which we really good. The salad served was fresh and the dressing was light. Perfect breakfast combo. I also ordered the matcha green tea since it was so pretty.... Sweet flavor and not as heavy/bitter matcha taste but I still enjoyed it.
I got to try the chicken and Waffle because my husband ordered it.... But if I had to compare, I like the smash kitchen's chicken and Waffle better. The way the chicken is here, is very tasty on its own.... Because you have to keep in mind that the drumsticks still have bone... I rather have bite size, small battered chicken to each together in each slice of waffle.
The waffle is very tasty and crispy on its own as well.... I love that the Waffle is so light in texture and crispy enough ( best eaten when you dip a tiny piece into the citrus dressing). The dressing makes it Delicious.
But I do not order to eat it together. Seems like the flavors and texture do not go together as well as it should.
Parking: eeewww hate the parking. Since the restaurant is located in a super tiny strip plaza, parking is limited. Good thing that there were not alot of people at the restaurant that day... Otherwise, we would have a hard time finding spot.
I may go back again but for now, if I'm craving chicken and Waffle, I rather each at smash, which is pretty much next to it. But if I'm really craving breakfast food, it's nice to have a place to go to in Markham anytime of the week!!
