I think people that haven’t tried Azyun before doesn’t realize that 1) they serve some dishes in slightly smaller portions 2) it’s best you go with a group of people to really enjoy the variety of the food on the menu eg: 6 people 3) yes, it costs a bit but it’s well thought out fusion food 4) so be prepared for the fabulous umami from the food.Also wanted to note, Our server was very accommodating and was right on with suggesting the food we ordered would be enough. Have we ordered that extra dish, it would’ve been in a take out box. We’ve tried Azyun in the first year they opened for business and I can tell they’ve really enhanced their menu. My whole family was super impressed with the food and everyone went home with a very full belly. Keep up the amazing work! PS: my favourite was the truffle rice and the crunchy ramen.
Found a new spot that has become one of my favourites in Markham!My boyfriend and I had the set menu for two ($65), which is a tapas style menu. We left with out bellies happy and full!We ordered the chilled noodles, marinated eggplant, crab toast, market fish (cod in yuzu), and the duck chow mein. So much flavour in each dish. We were not disappointed at all! I also ordered the Marge and Rita which was refreshing and tasty - a great option for a nice summer day. Our favourites ended up being the eggplant and chilled noodles.Needless to say, we will certainly be back for more!
A gem on Main Street Markham!So we ended up trying Azyun quite by chance. I had made reservations at another restaurant for Father's Day but they changed their menu to a buffet and I decided to try something else instead. So took my family to Azyun Restaurant on main street Markham based on the reviews I read and due to the close proximity to our home. We opted for dinner for 4 so that we could try out a few items from the menu. We tried the Saki for our drink, then a mixed appetiser platter (the eggplant was ridiculously yum), and for our courses choose beef tartare, duck chowmein, crab toast, beef shank, steak and paella. Everything we were served was absolutely DELISH with the exception of the paella. There was plenty food for the 4 of us and we left the place Happy! Its a small place with limited seating but the ambience is cool with a good vibe and an open kitchen. We give it our thumbs up and recommend it to anyone who wants to try out something different.
Came here for Sunday brunch around 12:15pm and didn't have to wait for a table. I ordered the fried chicken with matcha waffles and my friend ordered the shrimp toast Benny and we got a pork belly Bao to share. I really enjoyed the Bao and the fried chicken was super crispy but still juicy at the same time. Waffle was airy and soft with a delicate crunch. Portion size of the fried chicken was pretty big. Shrimp toast was good too. Prices were on the steeper side. Service was very good. Would be willing to return to try other items.
We REALLY liked the appetizers like chilled noodle and eggplants hands down. So damn good. I can have these every day.Paella had such a strong conch flavour overpowering everything which I thought could've easily been swapped by shrimp? I'm just assuming they were testing out more innovative combos but really didn't work for me.Fried chicken tasted great but I think it was a wrong call by me, assuming their other dishes might have been more innovative and has flavour combinations that I've never tasted. The homemade kimchi was a nice touch and tasted great but I think I still prefer pairing fried chicken with sour and crispy veggies(pickled radish, coleslaw etc) to balance out the heaviness.Mackerel was thoroughly de-boned which I know takes work, and the sauce was nice too but mackerel is mackerel. Its own flavour is always so strong and you can't really experience something new because of that. So if you love mackerel no matter what, it's definitely for you.My friend recommended the truffle fried rice and yeah, this hits a good spot. I definitely enjoyed this one the most in the mains.Drinks were alright. I honestly don't remember much about them, didn't leave strong impressions but they were not bad either.
Got the dinner for two. Dishes were really good but I would say it was slightly better prior to covid days. Fried chicken had an amazing crisp to it and truffle fried rice had the wok flavours.The eggplant was a tad too salty.Lighter seasoning overall on all the dishes would be perfect.Great, cozy atmosphere for anyone who wants to come by and have a nice, quiet meal and good convos.
Had a great dining experience on first visit, definitely won't be the last! We were attacted by some unique options on the menu (Truffle!? Paella!?) We picked the set menu for two and tried the chilled noodles, torched edamame, spring rolls, buttermilk fried chicken and truffle fried rice (sooo good!). Each dish was delicious and the portions were perfect for sharing between two people. The presentation was great and the service was excellent. Highly recommend adding lobster & seafood dumplings as a side because they were mouth-watering good. We already know we want to try the curry crab and seafood paella next, so we'll be going back again soon!
I visited here thanks to my friend. It's one of the best dinner nights I had in like years. Their foods were all very different in a exceptionally good way. We ordered from cheesy spring rolls to the best pallea I ever had in my life. It was full of Uni if you know what I mean.This is somewhere I would bring my family when they come visit me in Canada.Ask Ricky if you need a suggestion on any drinks or even foods. He'll help you out :)
One of the best restaurants of Markham. Don't think I've ever had a mediocre dish here. There's always something new and exciting. The team here is friendly and attentive.Order a vday set dinner + pho inspired beef tartare and the soft shell laksa curry. Most memorable dishes the uni and lobster risotto (hope this becomes a regular) and the curry
Great restaurant - delicious food - and service was impeccable. Located in Markham, this is a very low key, quiet restaurant on Sunday’s. The benefit is there’s no crowd and you can enjoy your meal in a more intimate setting. Pictured are the chilled noodles, torched edamame, pork belly fried rice, and the beef tenderloin. Everything was done to perfection and I honestly can’t find anything bad about this joint.
