Zen Restaurant (Japan) *Michelin Recommend
Chef Seiichi Kashiwabara
Zen is a sanctuary for those who seek the best Japanese cuisine, where the art of omakase is practiced with precision and grace. Fish is flown in from Japan several times a week, then prepared and presented with quiet mastery. Every piece of sushi and sashimi reflects a deep respect for tradition and detail. Michelin Guide–recommended, Zen provides a moment of stillness in a noisy world.

Skyview Fusion is a true Markham classic—where families gather weekly, celebrations unfold in the stunning dining room, and the dim sum brunch is nothing short of ritual.

Pig & Chick (Korean)
Chef & Owner Daehyun Kim
Pig and Chick channels the lively spirit of a Korean Soju pub with bold flavours and comforting dishes. Dig into authentic Jokbal, served with a generous spread of Banchan sides to customize every bite. Pair it with an ice-cold tornado Soju—chilled to perfection in a spinning ice chamber for peak refreshment. Fried chicken gets a kick from gochujang and smoky BBQ, while cheesy, spicy Tteokbokki is late-night comfort at its best.
