Located at 7501 Woodbine Ave in Markham

Gold Mark Chinese Cuisine is a Chinese restaurant that is newly opened.  I noticed it when driving on streets of John Street and Woodbine since The Fish House previously occupied this place.  I was so disappointed to find that that Western seafood restaurant had closed down.  Betty and I had an amazing time there and the food was delicious too.  I remember from our visit there that it was packed full even on a weekday .. so why did it close?  Nevertheless, this space is now renovated to fit Gold Mark.

The Fish House used to be here.. so sad that it’s not anymore 😦

Something about the atmosphere didn’t make for a cozy dinner

My family and I came here for a joint birthday dinner to try this restaurant out.  The inside is very big and has nice chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.  Despite their best efforts to decorate the place, I still found that their place seemed a little too big and not enough decor to make it look cozy or homey.

We ordered a dinner set to share among six people.  The food portions were surprisingly small and the service wasn’t very good.  It took a long time for the first dish to arrived.  Hmm

Here are the dishes that we ordered:

Fish maw & fresh crab meat soup

Stir fried scallop & shrimp with vegetable

Roasted pork & jellyfish

Poached chicken & jellyfish

Blanched yu choy with conpoy & Chinese prosciutto ham stock

Stir fried garoupa filet with dried fungus & king oyster mushroom

Stir fried lobster in Maggi sauce

Desserts & Red bean soup

Overall, the food was very average and not the most memorable.  The one I did enjoy was the lobster.  Yum!  The prices were a little steep too.  I’m very sure we’re not going to step foot in here again.
