I've been to the Scarborough location of Flaming Kitchen many times, however today was the first visit to the Markham location. In summary, the experiences was poor overall.
The entryway is very small, crowded and limited seating. People waiting for seating are literally standing over your table while you eat your food, causing a very awkward situation. The location itself is tiny and cramped compared to the Scarborough location.
We ordered a mango slush, KitKat slush, 2 spicy flaming rice cake dishes, and a spicy Korean noodle and beef dish.
We received our slushies in a plastic takeaway cup with no lid (see pic), nothing like what is advertised. Small in portion size an not in the tall glass container. Very disappointed and different from what we are used to from the Scarborough location.
The rice cake/Tteok-bokki dishes were very obviously smaller portions even though we paid full price on a Thursday (see pic). Visible difference in comparison to other pics on here and in comparison to the Scarborough location I am used to. Not worth $12.41 for 9 pieces of rice cakes with only a couple of pieces of mushrooms for the entire dish. Additionally, the rice cakes were also not cooked properly as they were tough and undercooked. I know very well as this is my usual go-to dish at the Scarborough location.
As for the noodle dish, the portion again was noticeably smaller. Taste was average.
The waitresses did not come to our table for quite a while after we were seated and we had to flag them down. The food took a while to come out too. We got our drinks shortly after they took our order. Overall service was average and a little slow.
My friends and I unfortunately left disappointed and unsatisfied.
Unfortunately, I won't be revisiting this Markham location and would rather highly recommend the Midland/finch location.

First time visiting this location and it is now our go-to spot for delicious Filipino food. My husband and I ordered 2 boodle fights and there was so much variety in it. We couldn't finish it, but it was so good we took the rest home for later.
The dining area is cozy and is nicely decorated. The owners are very kind and friendly, one of best service we've experienced.
I definitely recommend this place and we will be returning.
