black pepper steak with rice and a semi eaten curry beef with rice
So after coming home from a long day at the beach what better food to relax with than chinese food...well actually I'm sure there are better foods but I live in Markham so what else am I going to eat. We all ended up going to Yogi Noodle in Scarborugh, in Bamburgh Circle, just south of Warden/Steeles.
The first thing I see from the outside is a big red banner that says "best chinese food in town". Now I don't know about you but I found that to be a pretty big claim so I'm thinking, the best? They're calling themselves the best? Any place that needs to call themselves the best can't really be that good....right?
At first glance of the menu the food seemed pretty standard for this type of chinese restaurant, curry/baked rice/black pepper dishes so I still had my doubts about this so called best chinese food in town.
I ordered the black pepper steak with rice ($7.99 + tax) but ended up switching with someone for their curry beef rice ($6.99 + tax) because they found it to be a bit too spicy. The steak was pretty good, decent pieces of meat and cooked how I asked (medium) but the black pepper sauce was maybe a bit peppery for my liking. The curry was spicier than what you would normally get from these types of restaurants but of course was no problem for me (pssh spice!). I actually liked the spice but I can see how some people might find it too spicy. Aside from the spice I thought the flavour of the curry was actually alot better than most places and no problems with the pieces of beef (though another friend got the same curry except with beef brisket and noticed quite a few bad pieces).
It also came with a free soup and hot drink. The soup was the usual borscht which I found kind of sweet, too peppery, and overall not very good. I chose to get a cold milk tea for 75 cents extra which was ok but I've had better.
So best chinese food in town? I don't know about that but I was definitely surprised with the quality of the black pepper steak and curry beef, both I'd say were above average than what you normally get from these kinds of places. I'd want to go again to try the fish and corn with cream sauce baked rice which some other people got and also looked pretty good.

Yeah the black pepper was a lil too spicy for what it's supposed to be... but still good
