老地方 Old Place Gourmet House is located on 14th Avenue, right in between McCowan Road and Kennedy Road. It’s located inside a small plaza with decent amount of free parking space.
This Chinese restaurant offers stir fry noodles and rice during lunch time. And they offer dinner combos and a la carte dishes.
My initial impression once I entered the resto? It’s not fancy or high-end but simplistic, offering a comfy and homey feel. It feels like dining at a family house having a simple dinner, which I appreciate and don’t mind whatsoever coz it feels like home!
Although this resto offers some dinner combos, I found that they didn’t have enough options for smaller groups, there was only 2 combo options for 4 people and it ain’t cheap either as one is $108 CDN and the other is $168 CDN (quite a price gap in between both combos).
Otherwise, most other dinner combos focused mainly on bigger groups like 6-8 people. They don’t offer much for party of 2 or 3 people, which I wish they could offer some more combo options to choose from.
Thus, every time, we ordered a la carte, usually 2 or 3 dishes to share and that’s lots of food. Their portion here are huge that we normally have to ask for take out box to bring it home.
This resto offers complimentary old fire Chinese soup when you order a la carte dishes or dinner combos as well as a snack bites of pickled radish & carrots and peanuts. It really helps open up your appetite.
This restaurant offers one of the BEST sweet & sour pork in Toronto. We luv the texture of the pork, it’s crispy outside even after the chef pour the sweet & sour sauce, and juicy inside. Good portion and the sauce is perfect, not overly powering and the there is no weird pork smell that you may find from other restaurants. And the price is very attractive at $15.99 CDN + tax. That’s a great deal.
We also ordered the half free range boiled chicken, very tender and juicy with some nice gelatin underneath the skin and coupled with the ginger green onion sauce, I assure you will want to eat a few bowl of steam rice. LOL
The assorted tofu clay pot was also very delish. It’s sizzling hot when it came to us. Good amount of seafood such as scallop, shrimps, then meat such as BBQ pork, chicken, beef and onions and broccoli. Sauce is perfect for steam rice.
The pricing here at 老地方 Old Place Gourmet House is fair and reasonable.
Friendly and hardworking staff here as well. If you are looking for comfort food in Markham, this is a good option for you.
