I don't think I would order the chicken again it's like 75%dry chili and 25% chicken. And it under fills the container (I only bought it because the lady showed me the container -but frankly I'm still hungry with a heartburn from the oil+chili. I feel like I paid 15$ for dried chilies). The braised fish with tofu and chilies. Um there were burnt chillies on top. It's not fungus. Like it was charred black. Greasy overall (probably the way it's supposed to be made??) The taste is okay but I just found it cheap on the chicken protein, sells more chilli than protein. Pricewise it was 30$ after tax it could be cheaper. This is one of the more authentic places but no vegetable dish options. But it's time to help small businesses. This place takes cash and debit. So lend them a hand. I've had takeout that left me hungry and very uncomfortable. Help! (I just want to also note I experienced some food poisoning symptoms 48hours after eating take out here)

This tiny Chinese restaurant is on one of the busiest corners around the two universities. King and University has its share of Chinese restaurants and when you walk in, no one is speaking English. It is regularly populated by chatty Mandarin-speaking university students, who are busy catching up on the latest gossip or going over their class notes. There was an advertisement for lunch specials under $10, and decided to give it a go. Ordered Ma Po Tofu, but asked for it to be veganized (without minced pork). The staff was quite accommodating and that was not an issue with my request. What came out was a generous looking dish with red pepper flakes and a mountain of white rice. It looked really tasty, but the cook must dropped the entire saltshaker in this dish. I don't know why I didn't ask for it to be redone - I was awfully hungry - but I ate the whole thing and my mouth burned so badly that I had to order an Asian herbal drink. I doubt I'd come back. There really is nothing for vegetarians. My meal staved off the hungry but this visit staved off any curiosity to return.

Hamilton has come a long way in the food scene. Just yesterday I found this northern chinese…read morecuisine restaurant when walking on one of the main streets downtown. Yup, I had to check it out. The menu is filled with pictures so you know what to expect. Although I am not too familiar with northern chinese cuisine, I could see that the food were traditional dishes, not westernized. The bbq lamb and squid that i ordered were ok. The lamb had that unique lamb taste, but the meat was tender. The squid was very flavorful, but a bit chewy. The clams were tasty. We asked for the spice to be toned down, which they obliged. The dumplings though, were disappointing. The dough was pretty thick, and it dominated the dumplings. Surprisingly the restaurant got very packed. But there were only 2 servers working the floor. It was hard to communicate because our server only spoke chinese to us, and I was struggling to understand what he said. Because they were so busy, it took a few times waving our hands in the air to get their attention. Once our order was taken, it took a bit before our dishes arrived. I felt they were rookies in the service industry, but the food was cheap and not too shabby overall. Another surprise was when I went to pay with the machine, they offer a 6% tip option. Haven't seen that before. I would go back to this restaurant, and I would recommend it to other people. Just make sure you bring your patience with you.

The prices are great... we had a feast of entrees and snacks with 3 beers between us for about $35. When we arrived we figured something was up... we sat at a table waiting for a menu for almost 10 minutes (not kidding.) But we saw piles and piles of takeout orders ready to be picked up, with one server running the entire floor, so we figured it was an exceptionally busy night. The food was AMAZING. I requested vegetarian fried rice and the server who barely spoke English pointed out words on the menu to make sure I could eat egg because the chef asked if I was vegan. My boyfriend and I each ordered a soup entree, which was 3 times the size we expected, for half the price we expected. The BBQ buns for appetizers are to die for (and only $2 for 4 slices) and the scallion pancakes were top notch ($4). My (omnivorous) boyfriend ordered braised lamb in chili oil with cabbage ($12) and was blown away by it. I ordered rice noodles with stewed tomato and fried egg ($6) which will last me for the next three days with leftovers. Beers are under $3 each, too. Lots of other customers around us ordered seafood dishes, which looked great, so I would recommend trying that next time.

I didn't stay obviously, but inside was very spacious and can accommodate a fairly large group. This is now my new favourite Chinese food spot. I can't wait to go back and try more options in the menu.

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.
