All the Szechuan favorites are represented in the menu, including a few others that are rather more rare - but be assured the tongue numbing sichuan pepper is well represented and plenty. We got my favorite fried chicken with dried peppers. Plenty of dried peppers ensured every bite came with punch. Sliced beef and tripe - the heat on this one was toned down, so all about flavor with generous herbs and peanuts. The tripe was cooked very well. A sign of a good cook is treating offal very well and ensuring proper cleaning prior to cooking and it was adhered to perfection. My favorite of the lot. Boiled sliced tilapia with sichuan peppers - served in the dish it was boiled in, the fish was fresh. The fish is cut more rustic, so be aware of bones as you're making your way through it. Also thought this was the spiciest of the lot, with the heady sichuan seeds omnipresent in every bite. The food came to the table at a steady pace, the service was excellent overall.

*Uber Delivery Review*…read more My first time but not the last time! I love spicy food, the more spicy the better. Red & Hot is my kind of restaurant. The 2 dishes we ordered were perfect as delivery items as they best served room temperature. The items were well packed. Extra care was taken to ensure leakage. It could have been such a mess if all the Chilli oil spilled during delivery. I love both the chicken and beef dish. They both spicy but I can still tasted the different layer of flavour. What leftovers 2 days later were just as good. Good value for your money for authentic Szechuanese food. I will try dine in next time!

They offered us an adorable bottle of house made rice wine aka 女儿红, and look at how cute the bottle is!!!!!! It's lightly sweetened naturally, goes super well with the flavourful dishes! And loved the details in the store, gives the ancient Chinese vibe, very instagramable

We have experienced these dishes in Yunnan and Wuxi respectively, and I gotta say - this food is as good as in Chunguo! Excellent Xin Jiang style food. Quality ingredients.

We visit often, so it's been worth it for us. It was quiet when we arrived, but started to pick up by the time we left. I'm usually cautious with lamb skewers because I don't enjoy that gamey taste, but these completely changed my mind. Well-seasoned, nicely charred, and surprisingly clean-tasting. The beef skewers were just as solid, with a good amount of juicy meat on each stick and seasoning that enhanced rather than masked the flavor. The squid tentacles were tender with a satisfying bite. The sweet and sour chicken had that ideal contrast, crispy and glossy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The beef and chives pancake was flaky, crispy, and packed with filling. Even better with a drizzle of their homemade chili oil (iykyk). The hand-pulled noodles in chili oil were a standout as well. Light but still flavorful, with a chewy texture that made every bite addictive.

Everything tastes super authentic and they are all really well made! Big shoutout to the smoked pork with wrap item. The smoky flavor is simply amazing, and it has a great balance of fatty pork with warm oven-baked wraps. And then finish with the egg white red bean puff as the must-have dessert. So soft, light, and sweet in the perfect way. Honestly, this place is one of the best northern Chinese spots I have ever tried in Richmond Hill. Definitely recommended!

Hot and sour soup 3. Sliced beef wrap For the dumplings, you could tell they were homemade and they were delectable. The skin was soft and thin and fresh. And the filling was awesome. For the hot and sour soup, the ingredients were crisp showing the freshness of the ingredients. It too was awesome. For the beef wrap, it was ok, probably wouldn't order again as it came out cold. Nonetheless, the place is amazing. I came at lunch and was debating on coming for dinner in the same day. It was that good. All in all, this is an easy recommendation So come one come all to this home style cooking establishment

Pork chop udon soup - Fried pork chop, with a fried egg and udon an amazing combo. Pork chop was made well, still a little crispy on the outside, well seasoned and just about cooked perfectly. Fried egg the same, a bit runny on the inside. A small amount of udon compared to the rice noodle soup below. Soup tasted a bit off, kinda like burnt onions... Braised beef wonton rice noodle soup - Beef was a more on the chewy side. Wontons were great and there was lots of rice noodles. Soup was tasty. French toast - The afternoon tea version has 2 slices of bread vs the regular 3 slices. This was a tall stack, not too eggy and not too crispy. A load of butter on top. Nice to try. Would come back to try other items on their menu.

Ordered a few lunch special dishes for sharing. Minced meat with eggplant efu noodles has a nice sweet umami taste and you can taste the wok hey flavours. Noodle texture was chewy. This was my favourite dish. Singapore vermicelli was spicy and strong curry flavour with lots of small shrimps. The noodles were a bit broken off. Wished the vermicelli noodles was held together nicely but overall flavour was good. Sticky rice with chinese sausages was slightly on the blend side but felt healthy. The sticky rice are soft but not oily. Beef rice noodles has good wok hey and the rice noodles are bouncy. Flavours from soy sauce along with the wok flavours are outstanding. This was simple yet delicious. Baked rice in tomato sauce with porkchop was tasty. Sauce was not too overly sweet and the porkchop was tender. The baked rice has good texture and cook time was just right for the dish. This is a great Hong Kong style cafe and lunch portion size was generous. This plaza has lots of parking space too. I recommend this place if you are in the area.

But the menu is very much HK cafe with a focus on the soup noodles. Other than the location in Richmond Hill, there is also a location in Scarborough, downtown Bay Street and one in North York? The Richmond Hill location is at Times Square and is pretty big. They are know for their soup noodles but we ordered from the regular menu. What was ordered: Pork Chop on rice with egg, onions and mushrooms Chicken Curry Dishes come with your choice of hot drink or cold with an extra charge. This is very no frills style, you don't get water or tea when you are seated, only the drink that comes with your meal. The chicken curry is a bowl of curry sauce with a fried chicken fillet on the side and a scoop of mixed veggies (corn, peas and carrots). Pork cutlet is a deep fried thin pork cutlet with onions, mushrooms on a bowl of rice and soy sauce served on the side. Flavours were very much meh but prices were on the higher side for what you get compared to other similar style establishments. Definitely better options out there.
