Power King Restaurant

Simply outstanding! Great food, very clean and wonderful service. We have been having average Chinese food in the area and we instantly knew we found what we have been looking for when the food arrived. They have not made the portion sizes smaller like many other places and the pricing was in line with the experience. I truly recommend this restaurant. Job well done!

This place is my go-​to for late night Chinese food with my family. Great deals after 10pm. For combo B, we got congee, dough fritters, chow mein, flat noodles in soup, and one choice from a comprehensive list of side orders — all for $ 28. Food is tasty, comes hot, and they don’t use excessive amounts of oil. Service is, and has always been, «eh» but it’s reasonable.
I would definitely recommend this place for post-​10pm meals. There aren’t many to choose from in Markham anyway!

Went there because there was a 5 for 10 deal and since its very close to my home, i could get some food for cheap.
as soon as i got the deal, i confirmed with the manager if they were still accepting this (this was my first Unilocal coupon), and he said yes.
I went to the restaurant after a couple of days, the first server didn’t know about anything, so she called the senior server. She said she was aware of deals but nothing from Unilocal,and pretty much denied the deal and said the manager isn’t here, i insisted saying that i have talked with the manager and he said it was accepted, so she finally called the manager and confirmed that i could use my coupon.
15 minutes gone before my order was even taken, Not cool.
Although I would like to say that the server was very kind and soft spoken, but she had no clue about the deal.
I ordered mongolian fried chicken as it sounded simple and i was very hungry, it was OK. Wouldn’t have it again, needed ketchup and sriracha sauce for flavour.
In short, if you have the Unilocal deal, please confirm on phone before going to save time.

This was the first restaurant we came to when we arrived to Canada, so it was definitely a cultue shock between American Chinese food. To start off with, the waiter was really judgemental when we asked for water, then proceeded to ask for straws (which she would not give us). There are literally like 10 pages of food to select from, to the point that you can’t tell the difference between one entrée and the next. The waitress likes to hover over you until you order as if 1 minute is enough to look through 10 pages (then ironically not show up after you have ordered). The lo mein was definately bland and unflavored, almost like ramen noodles without the seasoning. Luckily if you ordered other platters it has sauce or gavy to pour into it. The other food was so-​so, but not the best quality food I have had.

Their afternoon tea combo is amazing and I feel this restaurant is underrated. With less than $ 10, you can get a very decent and tasty meal. I also looked through the regular dinner menu, the selection is not great. (basically same as afternoon tea combo but in larger portion)

I came here with my family for lunch yesterday. This was my first time visiting the restaurant, it’s located in the new Kennedy plaza FYI.
We ordered 5 dishes, they were: seafood congee, eggplant, turnip cakes, a noodle dish, and chicken (it was recommended on our place mats). I enjoyed the congee, didn’t find it too watery, the turnip cakes were really good they were much bigger in comparison to if you go to one of the congee queen/​king franchises. Eggplant and noodle dish were average, but I found the chicken dish to be a bit too salty. I only had one piece. Oh and I also had a HK milk tea. nothing amazing.
There are so many other restaurants in that plaza so I don’t know if I’ll return. But worth a try. They also have a service bell (?) Well, it’s not a bell. just some buttons to press if you want service. We didn’t try it though, thought it’d be better if we just call the server ourselves.

Came out all the way from Malton craving for wonton lo-​mein close to midnight and found this place.
We ordered shrimp wonton lo-​mein, beef ho fan w/​XO sauce, and jelly fish & sliced pork hock. It was actually a «happy» meal we had.
We were satisfied and are definitely coming back to try some other food.

What can I say. This place is just okay. The service is hit or miss. Lunch specials come with a drink but you sometimes have to remind them of it. Those specialty combos on the placemats aren’t that great so I would avoid. The congee is pretty good, although last time it was a bit too watery. Turnip cake was too salty. Chicken dish is a good deal and the chicken is nicely flavored. Overall, I’d only come back here if I was meeting someone. Otherwise, I wouldn’t take my chances on having a decent meal.

Came for a late night bite to eat. Have not visited in a while. We used to come for dinner, now and again. We ordered a pigs liver and kidney congee, soya duck lo mein and just oyster sauce gai lan. The congee was ok, lo mein was a good size and veg was well, just boiled veg with oyster sauce on the side.
Their menu has changed from before and prices all seem to have increased. I think i’d prefer to go to congee queen instead. The pricing is around the same but food is a larger size and better made.
Still an ok place to go for late night eats. Not the best food you’re ever going to eat but good for a quick meal.

I had a congee and its watery. The rice noodle is ok. The reason I come here is because of the congee. So if congee isn’t food there is no other reason to come again. The service was ok. I also didn’t feel clean inside.

I am surprised people rated this place so high. I have visited the restaurant a few times and found the service are horrible. The food quality are okay at best. The only reason I visited is they open late.

Meh. I’ve seriously had better. It’s not that they were bad — they just weren’t very good.
The congee and dough sticks were your average Chinese meals.
But everything else was drenched in oil & some of their vegetables were still frozen ???
Mediocre:
Sweet & sour pork
Pork & veggies
Beef & veggies
Veggies & mushrooms
Good:
Sliced chicken
For the $ it wasn’t quite worth it.

Great food — always consistently good. Definitely a hidden gem!

My family and I absolutely love Power King! Their food and drink menu is large, and any item that we have ordered we have enjoyed. We come also at late night hours, and they have a great menu for a better price. Some of my favorite items is the eggplant stuffed with fish, the congee, fritters, and rice noodles and beef.

We had the Fukien fried rice and Chiu chow congee both less than average… No wonder this place is not busy on a Friday night!

One of my husband’s favourite restaurants! Just cant beat the price and vast menu selection of items here! They do certain things REALLY WELL. We almost religiously get the braised Tofu+Grouper hot pot and salted chicken with white rice. Such a PERFECT combination. The fried rice isnt anything special here but the see-​chieu-​ngo-​ho is DELISHHHHHH i sometimes come here to get that alone for takeout lol (white thick rice noodles with sauce and beef poured over top)

Came here Sunday afternoon with my family after Unilocal-​ing high tea places to eat nearby. Surprising that it wasn’t busy at all on a weekend. Overall, my visit was a little disappointing.
Food: We ordered beef brisket rice, pork liver congee, and a T3 combo (lemon chicken, rice, and fried wonton). For the beef brisket, it was all white rice and a little bit of beef and lettuce on the side of the plate. Congee was okay; I personally dislike any congee but my brother said it had no flavour and my parents said it had some. I chose the combo. I like the plating of it, it was almost identical to the one on the paper menu. However, portions were small and for the price of $ 6.99, I didn’t really think it was worth it. Judging from the old images about this place’s afternoon tea specials, they did increase the price. The drinks that come with a special is a joke. The cup is small and the red bean ice cream drink is really just melted ice cream (condensed milk?) and no ice. The quality of food was alright, nothing special, but generally the items on the menu are a little on the pricey side for just high tea.
Service: It was alright. Nothing much coming from a typical Chinese restaurant. Even though it wasn’t busy, the waitress did mix up the orders with the table behind us, but hey it happens.
Décor: Right when we sat down, I noticed that some of our tableware were a little dirty. Pretty typical to a Chinese restaurant. The deco and furniture were pretty nice; all the seats were cushioned and the colour scheme matched the walls and such. A fly kept on bothering our table so I guess this place isn’t really hygienic.
Would I come back again? Eh probably not.

Food Quality & Price: My family comes here often because the food is priced fairly and it tastes good. We usually order Lobster Chow mein which feeds the three of us for about $ 15. Clams and fish (lap yue) is also delicious. Their congee has perfect consistency with the right amount of ingredient. I enjoy this restaurant for it’s authentic Chinese food but I wish some of the better menu items are available in English as well.
Facility: Located in the New Kennedy Square (Kennedy and HWY 7), this place has a LOT of competition. The plaza is littered with restaurants. The establishment is located at the very end of the plaza with ample parking. Décor is typical of «mom and pop» authentic Chinese restaurants. There is a TV in the restaurant on Fairchild (volume up quite loud) and the ambiance ranges from noisy to loud (depends on how many people are there)
Service: Service is hit or miss. In the 10~ times I’ve been to Power King, at times the servers are slow to deliver food (or the chef takes too long to cook). Servers are also quite slow with giving the bill at the end. However, if you are personable, if you frequent, or order multiple dishes, they sometimes «gift» a dish to you (which was a pleasant surprise). Tea is promptly refilled but they are sometimes slow to clear empty dishes from the table.
Overall: We come for decent food and the price. Service is only okay. I did leave my cell phone (Samsung Galaxy S3) in the booth one time and the waitress chased me out to the parking lot to return it to me. I felt that was worth mentioning. If Power King stepped up their service and updated the décor, it would do better in competition with other restaurants in the plaza.

Every once in awhile, the family and I will revisit restaurants that we haven’t gone to in awhile (not always because they’ve been bad experiences). I used to love coming to Power King for their chow mein, rice noodles and congee.
It had been at least 3 years since we’d last been to Power King, and my mom had read in a Chinese food magazine last week that they were featuring a Lobster Efu Noodle for $ 9.99; this was the motivation that rekindled our lost relationship with Power King once again.
When we arrived, the restaurant was quite busy. It is located inside a Chinese plaza, which as Jennifer K. mentioned previously are also home to competitor restaurants Congee Wong & Keung Kee.
There were a few things that jumped out at me as to why I would never dine at Power King again. First and foremost, was that the Lobster Efu Noodle that they were featuring on promotion was «sold out.» Well they definitely achieved the goal of advertising — enticing the customer to come to your restaurant — but they definitely won’t have any regular customer base if they keep up with this «bait and switch» tactic. And for sure Power King will be getting publicity, but most definitely not the positive kind as bad news is more viral than YouTube videos.
I’ve also noticed that the portion sizes have gone done significantly and dishes are now sloppily prepared. We ordered: beef brisket lo mein, bassa fillet wor mein, fried pig intestines, street-​style rice noodles w/​peanut and hoisin dipping sauce, as well as a pork liver congee.
The congee was rather bland and disappointing. However, the pork liver was cooked just right. It takes a bit of skill as you don’t want to overcook liver so that it becomes rubbery and hard.
The soup base of the bassa wor mein was quite flavourful, however, it was more wor mein than it was fish.
The street-​style rice noodles were extremely greasy and oversteamed almost to a mush. It was extremely smooth, but that was because it was basking in oil.
The fried pig intestines dish has shrunk by at least ½ of its former serving size, and while it used to have pickled carrots and turnips, I guess carrot prices have been sky-​rocketing as they were AWOL.
All in all, I would pass on Power King and opt for Congee Wong or Keung Kee as I find that Power King’s dishes have shrunk not only in size, but in flavour.

Power King is another place that serve Congee, Noodles and other Cantonese dishes.
This is in the same plaza as Congee Wong and Keung Kee and has similar menu as they do.
The food is ok… Their stir fried dishes can be a little oily… (yes Chinese food can be oily, but when everything is like dipping in oil)
They do have special menu for afternoon tea and the dinner they have combo that are quite cheap.
Since there are other choices here in the same plaza, you will be better off going to the other then going to Power King.
