Macey’s Restaurant

Today we decided for take out lunch on Macey’s for beef brisket with veg on rice. Today weather is nice to go eating outside to enjoy our lunch But after eating it my tummy starting upset.

Got take out from here when I was craving hk café style food. The portugese chicken rice didn’t have much flavour to it and wasn’t as coconut-​y or curry as I’m used to from other restaurant. The pork chop spaghetti was also underwhelming but ok. The congee was probably the best dish, though lacked the meat /​seafood. Overall it’s a decent place but not fantastic

The food here is a bit confusing — some days its great, some days it’s off. But the one thing I’ve never been to happy with here is how crowded it is. Really really crowded. Like sardines crowded. Like if there’s any emergency, I’d be fearing for my life and for my baby’s life.
The speciality dishes here are the winter melon soup and the sticky rice stuffed in a chicken (loh mai gae) — both you need to order in advance when you make a reservation. The first time we had the rice it was delicious — crispy chicken skin with succulent chicken! The second time it was greasy and the chicken was barely there. The owner Mabel is a sweet lady who ensures the guests are happy, but I feel as if this place has grown far too big that the quality has started going downhill.
Who knows, maybe the next time it’ll be great, but then it’ll just affirm my belief that it’s up and down! What a predicament!

Ein kleiner feiner laden, wo man sehr gut Speisen kann. Wird schnell zubereitet, gut organisiert und schmecken tut es ebenfalls. Wer in Mississauga was schnell und gut essen möchte, einfach in dieses Lokal rein! Ist kein Vergleich mit ein paar anderen.

Macey’s is a small, family-​owned establishment located in a plaza just past Mavis, along Burnhamthorpe Road West. The restaurant features Hong Kong cuisine, so don’t be alarmed by the menu if you come across club sandwiches, macaroni, or cream of mushroom soup — that’s just the western influence creeping in!
As a party of 4, we arrived at around 8:45PM with the dining room filled at ~30% capacity. We were seated immediately, and orders were taken in roughly 5 minutes. I ordered the shrimp dumpling with noodle soup and deep fried stuffed eggplant.
Shrimp dumpling with noodle soup ($ 6.00): The broth and egg noodles were pretty industry standard based on my experiences at other restaurants, but the shrimp dumplings are what stood out to me. First of all, they’re huge, and you get around 4 — 5 of them. Now, take this in: each dumpling is comprised of 5 — 6 shrimps, so in effect, your order actually comes with 20 — 30 shrimps! With that said, you can definitely guarantee your money’s worth by ordering this noodle soup dish.
Deep fried stuffed eggplant ($ 5.50): «Deep fried ‘sandwiched’ eggplant» would probably be a more applicable name for this dish. This snack includes fish cakes sandwiched between slices of eggplant, and is served under a sweet, lacquered soy sauce. Nevertheless, it was super tasty. The outer layer was crispy, the eggplant was soft and buttery, and the fish cakes were nice and firm. I honestly can not recall a recent dish that I’ve had exhibiting this much textural contrast. The sauce was also a winner. Think of dark soy sauce (i.e. «a little goes a long, long way»), except sweeter.
Overall, highly recommended if you’re looking for some cheap and tasty Hong Kong-​style food. Even better, this restaurant neighbours Chatime and Sugar Marmalade for your post-​meal dessert cravings.

I was craving for the baked pork chop (which is a very well known dish in Hong Kong) and was wondering where I could go to eat some =) I just moved to Mississauga from Scarborough and decided to check out Unilocal.I ended up going to Macey’s. The first think I noticed was that the air conditioning was cranked up. It was freezing in there! Excited, I ordered the baked pork chop from their regular menu. Overall it was «okay». The dish looked over cooked, there was only cheese on half the dish and the sauce, which was the more important element of the dish was too salty (should be sweeter). It wasn’t part of the set lunch menu so the bill came up to about $ 11.00 plus tips. The staff was friendly but the food is just okay. I wouldn’t go back again but at least I tried it.

This authentic Chinese restaurant is one of those hidden gems you find once in a while. In the past, I usually just drove past this place because it did not appeal to me. It wasn’t until a friend of mine suggested that we try this place so we decided to go to this restaurant. The inside was very typical of a Chinese restaurant; plain and simple with multiple tables to seat large groups.
The two times I have been here, I ordered the eggplant congee and the chicken baked rice with black pepper sauce. First, I want to mention that their customer service is fast and efficient! Second, the food was better than expected! I usually don’t like congee but this was one of the best congee I’ve had. What I liked about the congee was that it had lots of flavouring and it wasn’t bland at all. For the baked rice, I always enjoy eating baked rice with chicken and the black pepper sauce made it even better. It had a well-​balanced amount of flavours so the taste was not repetitive and it kept you wanting more.
I’m definitely coming back here to try out their other dishes!

After a long search for a restaurant with decent baked rice in portuguese sauce, i am proud to say that this one has the best baked rice ever! Even better than the ones in Markham! Other food is very good too!

Food was great. Mistake we made was we opted to dine in. I can normally ignore the fact that the dining area was getting dated but there is no excuse for a nasty restroom,

Great authentic Chinese food. We always get the baked seafood on fried rice and the salty & spicy pork. Yum! A bit of a language barrier with the servers, but the food is absolutely delicious.
Interior of the restaurant needs an update badly.
Location is convenient, near Square One.
They do take out too.

Visited Macey’s with three friends on a Friday evening. Surprisingly, though the restaurant was packed there wasn’t a wait. My Chinese buddies ordered five dishes, which came out to about $ 15 each with tax & tip.
Food came quickly, which is always a bonus. Quality was good, but nothing special. My favourite dish, noodles w/​seafood (Kwung Tung, but I might be wrong) was too crispy and lacked the strong flavour it’s known for.
Definitely a great option for Chinese food, but there are better alternatives in the area as well.

Okay overall, nothing special. Environment isn’t the best, food is decent (gets the job done).
It was decently large portions though. Split the 2 dishes (curry beef rice and minced beef vermicelli) between 3 people. Flavour and taste of vermicelli wasn’t bad — similar to other HK diner places. Curry beef rice dish wasn’t as hot as I preferred, it was served warm (also be careful, it’s a tad spicy). The rice that came along with it was quite big though.

My family and I have been coming here for over 10 years. We’ve stayed loyal even with our new healthier eating habits, but we do come less often.
To be honest dinner service is the best time to go because the servers then are superb! They are on the ball, always smiling and remembers previous guests. The food comes hot out of the kitchen and they are popular for their large King size bowls of congee. Their food is Hong Kong style, lots of rice, noodles soup, stir fried noodles and crispy snacks.
For lunches they have lunch specials for around $ 7. They have great Hong Kong cold and hot teas and coffees. Hot coke and lemon drink is great for a sore throat. Although service during lunch is less stellar, only 2 people serving. After the owner saw us waving someone down to take our order, she ignored us and didn’t pass on the messagetop any servers. Slightly frustrated…
They have a mean wonton and I almost never order wonton noodles. For something new you might want to try their baked rice and spaghetti dishes. It’s definitely a Hong Kong dish, fried rice smothered in tomato sauce and cream sauce.
I recommend the beef brisket and wonton noodle soup with flat noodles (ho fan). Also the seafood congee and fried rice dishes.

Used to love going here for the baked chicken on rice in white sauce, but their quality and quantity have both gone down.

This is my fave noodle house in Mississauga. It’s the one noodle house who actually makes quality wontons made of pure shrimp (no pork) and are the size of golf balls! My Italian husband even knows how to order in Chinese bc he has his absolute favourites here! Dough fritter wrapped in rice noodle… unlike other places, the fritter actually remains crunchy within the rice noodle exterior and is accompanied by a nice peanut sauce. The seafood sweet and sour dip for deep fried wonton is delicious! We’re fans of pretty much every noodle dish.
This is a staple for my family! The last place we eat before going on trips and the first place we go as soon as we get off the plane! Can’t go wrong for speed and price! Definitely the congee wong of the west side!

3 – 3.5*
Macey’s is an old school Canto diner and institution in the city. Shutdowns can’t even keep this place closed. Interior, including the well-​worn menus, have remained the same. Waitresses have been here for decades.
Food: The free porky soup was flavourful. Canto Chow Mein did not arrive piping hot, but all the ingredients were there. Shrimp was a tad bit off, but edible. And Portuguese Baked Rice — more like a very coconut milk-​based, mild curry — lacked salt, but was fine.
Service is no fuss and efficient. Food arrives at lightening speed. You’re in and out for a quick meal. Show up in your fanciest jogging pants.
This place is for people who don’t like change, same old, same old.

I got the usual black pepper spaghetti with beef and congee and once again it was great. Portions are still pretty good too. Service is curt but fast.

Definitely one of the consistent performers of Cantonese cuisine in Mississauga!
Even if they’re a couple of dollars more, there’s a reason they’ve been one of the longest restaurants in town. You can always trust the service and quality of food here. They’ve earned the trust of many locals — and our loyalty.

So maybe my taste has gotten a lot better or a lot worse since I was little but I used to love this place, or it’s possible that the food has gotten worse. Maybe it’s because the food has improved in Mississauga too.
I ordered the egg white with shrimp on rice about two months ago and this was just after they were closed for a while and re-​launched (I think).
What I didn’t like about it was that there were egg shells in the food and since my place is about a 10 minute drive, I didn’t bother complaining about it, but shells in the food is not acceptable.
I want to give it another try, but the meal was so horrendous and I’m that scared and I’m not usually a person who is faint of heart for trying food.
I would give it one star, but it gets the additional star because of my past with them. I used to like any of their noodle dishes and their beef ho-​fun.
…may give it another try.

You know a place is popular when the place is PACKED on a Sunday night. Our group of 16 took the last two tables.
Because I wasn’t too hungry, I just ordered a bowl of Wonton noodles for myself, which was okay. The noodles had that bouncy bite, but the shrimp wonton’s could have been better. Not too bad with a hot cup of Horlick though. My other friends had a variety of dishes ranging from those you would normally have at Dim Sum (fried turnip) to regular dinner dishes (fried rice, fried rice and curry, vegetables) to HK café dishes (ham and egg, wonton noodles). The menu is certainly extensive and by the looks of the place, the food might be okay to good, but the price is definitely wallet friendly.
What made this place a 3 star was the GREAT SERVICE. We were quite difficult in asking for seperate bills. With our table, the lady was so kind that she decided to re-​write everyone’s individual bills (because she translated her Chinese bill into English) which took about 15 minutes. That kind of personalized service is something I RARELY see in busy, Asian restaurants. I think our waitress knew some of our friends who were probably regulars… that might have helped the service, but all in all, can’t complain.
Great for big groups, relatively inexpensive, and great service.

I always come here with my family. Everything is very cheap and taste ok.
My favourites are
Beef brisket flat rice noodle in soup
Pan fried turnip cake
Chinese style chow mien with pork
Hk style milk tea
