Review from Frank L.

This HK style restaurant is one of those that still provide reasonably good quality with the price. The price on the menu is unbelievably low. The portion is big and can fill you up easily. My friends have to pack them. For a steak it is only about $16. For a special for 2 that you can choose from a whole list of appetizer and entrée, it only costs $20+. The Chicken is tender with spaghetti. The lobster bisque is ok when you know the price. It cannot be compared to those lobster dining restaurant that charges you a lot more for the same soup. The steak looks good. It comes with a drink at the end of the meal.
At that price, you cannot beat it. Remember it is not a fine dining restaurant and a very affordable family restaurant. -

Ever since they changed the chefs (happened in the middle of last year or so), this place has taken a 90 degree tumble in terms of food quality.
What used to be one of my favs, the sirloin beef in korean spicy noodle soup, the beef is now rock hard, and the noodles are mushy. It used to be round, just like how images would show in an instant noodle package.
The steak itself has also grown hard, no matter how well done you want it. It's hard regardless.
The amount of missed orders has also increased significantly. Twice in the past three times at least one part of our order never showed up for over 30 minutes. And when it did, it was either overcooked, dry, hard...basically I would've been better off cancelling the order.
Nevertheless, I don't know why I still come here. Maybe the free wifi, but still. -

Fairly low quality food. They do have some good combos for lunch and breakfast, but generally it's not worth the price you pay. There are tons of other cafes in the Markham area that offer western style food for a much better price and quality.

I've only been to Firefly for lunch and I have to say they do a pretty good job. The lunch specials generally come with a sweet bun, soup (make sure you order the cream soup!) and the main dish.
The issue is half the dishes are pretty bad while the other ones are pretty good so this is definitely not the place to be adventurous. But if you see steak, don't expect Keg style, it's more like a sliver (1/2 inch thick type steak).
Either way their service is fast, food is decent and prices are not too bad (lunch specials run from $6 - 8). -

Came by for breakfast since it was right next to our hotel.
Satay Beef Instant Noodles
- Satay Beef was super garlicky
- Instant Noodles and the soup were too salty...
HK Milk Tea was decent.
...my stomach didn't feel too well after breakfast...maybe they left the beef out for too long? -
Review from Rana L.
Was in a hurry and had dinner here. I ordered spaghetti bolognese ($ 7.99) w/ the soup (cream or tomato based), tea, dessert combo (just about $3 more). The service was good & fast. They served me the soup 5 mins after I ordered. I enjoy the hk style spaghetti bolognese & their other pastas here cuz the portion is huge and u can easily pack it for lunch the next day.
I didn't have time for the hk style tea & dessert but they only charged me for the spaghetti which was nice. I would come back here again cuz it's cheap, fast & not too bad. but this is def. no place for steak. Also, I remember ordering pork chop w/ fried rice on two separate occasions and one time the pork chop had a lot of fat on it.
Fridays/weekends are extremely busy. Lots of parking though.Listed in: Asian Eats Reviews

We have had lunch and dinner here a few times and is a 3 star level~ acceptable and the price is good.
Went here for Breakfast recently and it just wasn't good. We had the gold standards for HK breakfast- Satay beef Instant Noodle- noodles were overcooked. I tried the Korean Kimchi Instant Noodle with Inaki Mushroom Beef Wraps- noodles undercooked and beef not seasoned. At this point Gordon Ramsay was screaming in my head.
The Egg Sandwiches, which are so awesome elsewhere, just weren't great. The service though, was excellent. -

Firefly Seafood and Steakhouse is another Chinese-HK style restaurant at First Markham Place.
Yes price is really good... but if you come here for some good cut steak you will be disappointed!
I cannot really expect what you get from a $9.99 set dinner!
They accepts Visa and Mastercard. -
Review from Jerry C.

I have dined at Firefly Seafood and Steakhouse several times over the past 6 years, as recently as last night, and I feel that Jennifer K.'s review of 1 star is overly harsh. I agree that the food is not comparable to the Keg, Lonestar or Kelsey's but you do receive good value for quantity and decent quality.
For dinner last night we selected 2 options from a menu of 20+ set dinners. Each set dinner includes chinese tea, a warm and soft bread dinner bun/roll, a choice of cream or borsch/vegetable soup (which I prefer), main dish, beverage and small dessert (jello). Prices range from $10 to $20-30 depending on the main dish.
My wife had the grilled pork chop in red wine sauce with a side of rice and veggies (picture added). The sauce was too strong on the red-wine taste but the pork was sufficiently tender. The veggies were boiled to acceptable cooking level. I had the chicken steak and sirloin roll (thin beef rolled with mushrooms inside) in a mushroom gravy. The chicken was slightly over-cooked while the beef rolls looked more appetizing than they actually were. Not that they were bad, it just looked like it should have been delicious but it wasn't. It was merely "good".
Although you wouldn't go to an HK-style restaurant for the decor or other accoutrements the orange theme and booth-style seating is functional and acceptable. Several flatscreen TVs hang from the ceiling and are tuned into sports and a variety of chinese programs. I didn't visit the restrooms but if you don't have to go, I wouldn't.
3 stars may be a bit optimistic but this is a solid 2.5 star establishment. -

I went here for afternoon tea last weekend with some new friends. I ordered the HK Style Iced Tea with French Toast (with Peanut Butter). The service was great as they kept recommending for us to get their red bean slush. It was decent for 3 people for afternoon tea - it cost around $25.

Man the food is the best but little costly man the steak is so good just a little dry almost as good of how I cook. The drinks are the bomb but only is ok. Service is good, have wifi, only the place is little loud for me.
