Sui Mai
Lisa T.

I ordered it for delivery. Food arrived fast. I ordered 3 sushi rolls (Red dragon roll, Philadelphia Tuna roll, and cheesy crab roll) hot and sour soup, pork bbq steamed buns, sui mai, and an order of spicy salmon tacos. The sushi rolls were quite good, but the rest was just eh. The Chinese food there isn't tasty, so I would recommend just ordering sushi rolls. The hot and sour soup was overly spicy from an overload of black pepper. I definitely do not recommend that soup.

The first August 8. I like coming here. Fast service, food is fresh, and friendly associates. I like how they don't mess up the orders like a lot of other ayce do. The only thing that I don't like is the chewiness of the beef. I wish it's more tender. Other than that, it's flavorful. There's free parking, but very limited. Glad to see a success business growing from Hamilton.

There's no denying that the allure of both AYCE sushi and dimsum is strong. While I think the dimsum at this location is consistent with their other restaurants (pretty good, nothing amazing but still nice to eat), their rolls and sushi have so much more rice. The Toronto location has a much better ratio of fish/contents to rice. Service here is also pretty slow. I got up to grab soy sauce and on almost every occasion, servers would come by but not grab our dirty plates. Which when you have a lot of plates due to dim sum and AYCE, can really be obvious. If you want to come for their lunch menu, just order everything on their tablets before 3:30pm hits. This is a pretty nice feature because you can see everything on the tablet and order it instantly. Despite many faults of this restaurant, I've still been here at least 5 times in the last year. That's mostly because Hamilton doesn't really have better options for AYCE sushi, and the dimsum is an excellent plus. I would just say that you should keep your expectations lower when coming here.

Sushi feast!

Contactless sushi delivery from August 8 has been a welcome semi-weekly treat to look forward to. We've ordered a few times and are happy to support local businesses during this challenging time. We've been pleased with the freshness and will order again. Order through Door Dash and don't forget to add an extra tip!

This place has got to be one of my favorite all you can eat please in Ontario. There are a few others but this ranks top 3 for sure. Their menu is very extensive for dinner but also comes with a higher price than usual of other places, but I think its worth it because of the Dim Sum that comes with it. You will take at least 15 minutes of going through each page of the menu and then when you order, I ordered only a one of each to make sure its something I like. Once the first round was done and I knew what I loved, I ordered a lot of those. Some of my favorite things was the breaded chicken, and that special tempura roll with that mango sauce on it. That was very good and I got that one like three times. Daniel who came with me that doesn't eat raw fish found a lot of things on the iPad that he liked. He said everything was good. His favorite was the bacon wrapped asparagus, and the beef short rib. Service was really quick and whatever I asked for, was done with no problem and no negative attitude. I will be coming back to August 8 for sure if its not this location, their other locations located throughout GTA.

September 21, 2018 - When we arrived in Hamilton for the BTS Love Yourself Tour, we didn't know where to eat. But as we were walking towards the FirstOntario building we noticed this sushi restaurant. So, we decided to go in and give it a try. When we got in it was quite busy and it was a bit of a wait for a table. Once we were seated we ordered everything we wanted on the tablet and except for dessert we wanted to order it last. Almost everything came and a few were missing. But it was okay cause we were kinda getting full. Then we ordered the fried banana dessert along with some ice cream. Our ice cream started to melt and we waited a long time thinking why is it taking so long to fry a banana. We asked a waiter about it and he said he would check. By the time we both went to the washroom, other waiters and waitresses cleaned our table, we even asked for the bill... the other waiter never came back. So we decided to go. I don't know if they ran out of bananas or if the deep fryer stopped working. But I really wanted my fried banana with my ice cream. Overall: Food 7/10 Service 5/10

Great place and excellent food. I loved the buffet and the ability to select the items I want on the ipad. What a great idea. Very lovely decor. From my favorites I could name custard dim sum, scallops and a few other items I forgot the name. It seems like it is in the middle of nowhere but it's a great place.

Over-priced and very poor-quality fish. Also took a long time to get our food. Never going back.

We were brought here by our friend--also our unofficial Canada food guide--after a fun day of…read moreshopping and sightseeing in Niagara Falls. We had a reservation for six at 7:30 PM and were seated promptly. Our server, whose name I unfortunately can't remember, was fantastic. When the guys in our group asked for beer recommendations, he was knowledgeable and even brought them samples to try. I can't list every dish we ordered (we had a lot), so I'll focus on my favorites: Chive Egg Pan-Fried Bun - 10/10. Perfect flavor and texture, not greasy, and with a great bread-to-filling ratio. Cucumber Salad - Refreshing and crisp, a great palate cleanser to balance out the richer dishes. Crispy Noodles - Not overly salty, with just the right amount of sauce so the noodles stayed crisp instead of going soggy. Har Gow (Shrimp Dumplings) - A must-order for any dim sum spot. These were generously filled with shrimp, with minimal fillers, a satisfying crunch, and served piping hot. Squid Legs- Nice and lightly sauced. Perfectly cooked so it wasn't too chewy. There were more dishes that I didn't get to try (pescetarian here), but I was thoroughly impressed with the ones I did have. The ambiance was modern and clean--not your typical mom-and-pop Chinese restaurant. It was dimly lit, spacious, and well-kept. I also have to give a special shoutout to the bathrooms, which were some of the nicest I've seen. Each stall was its own private space with a personal sink--unique, private, and super convenient. Overall, if I'm ever back in Canada and near this area, I would absolutely return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

When my friend told me we were going to a Chinese restaurant in Saint Catherine, my first idea was…read morethat it should be a "traditional" Chinese restaurant in North America: Sweet and Sour pork, General Tso Chicken, Chow Mien, etc. I totally did not expect it to be a fancy, modern and authentic Cantonese style restaurant! The restaurant is surprisingly big and very clean. The theme colour is black, which makes the vibe elegant. I also think the dishes are tasty. Some of them were even creative. For example, the fried rice was in a pyramid shape. I don't think there are too many Chinese restaurants with that quality out there in St. Cathrine. So if you are around this area and happen to be craving some authentic Chinese food. You definitely have to come to this place!

I'm always in the search of good Chinese food in the Hamilton-Burlington area. Happened to find…read moreIron Chef Chinese Restaurant and try a bit of dim sum at lunch time. It's always a good sign when you can find Cantonese-speaking customers in the restaurant - and we did. The restaurant appeared clean, although was dated. There were basic dim sum choices on the menu, but quite a number of items were crossed out and marked as not available. We tried the Shanghai Style Fried Noodle, Preserved Egg and Pork Congee, Steamed Sui Mai Dumpling, and Steamed Chive Shrimp Dumpling. We ordered the Pan Fried Dumpling with Minced Pork - it never arrived. Just as well because we had enough for two people and were already full. Of all, the congee was the most flavourful. The other items were standard. The noodles didn't have as much flavour and 'wok hei' as we would have liked, but still ok. I did ask if they made the dim sum in house, and the server (owner?) answered, "yes" but I do have to wonder. I would give it another try for dinner entrees.

Very good dim sum for a place on Hamilton Mountain and in a mostly residential area none the less…read more Quality is very good for a home style non top scale restaurant. With about 32 items on the menu and several items were not available. Not typical to have rice rolls for dim sum unfortunately so you have to order two plates in order for them to sell it to you. Also they were not very pretty presentation wise but the beef one was particularly good. The server and possibly owner of the establishment & chef were very attentive and friendly. You are greeted quickly as soon as you enter and she welcomes her regular customers by name and a friendly matter. Ambiance felt like a former greasy spoon diner restaurant not traditional Chinese style at all. So it is still good as it wasn't noisy and no loud music playing either. Was quiet for lunch time but they did get some more diners while we enjoyed our peaceful dim sum lunch today.

Upon seating a server quickly greeted us and also gave us the rundown of what PPE was required. To enter the buffet tables, mask need to be worn along with having gloves which are provided before exiting our dining room. In addition there are workers who provided gloves to those who forgot as I did occasionally. There is always so much variety here and my favourite is definitely the salad bar as the shrimp and cocktail sauce is to die for. There was also a great selection of hot food from Asian classics to roast beef and lamb. To finish off this meal I had a freshly made waffle from the dessert bar which had a great selection of sweets to add onto the waffle or the ice cream bar right across. Overall although the mandarin can be quite pricey as long as you eat you moneys worth then to me it is pretty worth it! Hope I can come back when everything reopens as it was a great nostalgic experience coming here as it has been awhile since I have gone to a mandarin in my home city.
