Number One

Number One is a high-energy nightlife and dining destination located in Markham, occupying the space formerly held by Hutaoli Music Restaurant & Bar. The venue focuses on an immersive, theatrical experience that combines Chinese fusion cuisine with live entertainment, eliminating the need to visit separate locations for dinner and a show. The atmosphere is designed to be dynamic, shifting from a more relaxed setting during early evening hours to a high-energy party environment after 10 p.m. when DJs take over the room.

For a first visit, expect a menu featuring charcoal BBQ items like beef and lamb skewers, chicken wings, and smoked meats, alongside sprawling trays of whole fish, seafood platters, and bubbling pots of soup. The drink menu highlights fruit-forward cocktails crafted with various Asian spirits. Entertainment varies by day; while Monday through Thursday offer music and dance performances, weekends feature more elaborate acts such as aerial acrobatics, fire dancing, LED shows, and magic tricks. The venue is well-suited for large groups, and private VIP rooms are available for those seeking a more intimate experience. Reservations are recommended, though some tables are held for walk-ins.
