The soup tasted ok but it had snow peas & carrots in it which didn't go. There were a few token slices of BBQ pork but they were boiled into submission so they didn't taste great. The egg roll was hot & fresh & tasted ok. The plain fried rice was good, though it only had frozen vegetables & some egg. There was a good wok flavour. The chop suey tasted fresh.

My visit to Noodle Max would be one of these unexplained phenomenon. I was really hoping to try this hyped up beef noodle place in Richmond Hill, only to have my hope squashed by a long line up at 4:20pm in the afternoon. 4:20!!! WTH!!! On a snowy, slushy late afternoon, I blindly (and slowly) drove my way aimlessly to Aurora. I remember some Asian restaurant getting rave reviews up in Aurora and that being Noodle Max (maybe it wasn't so aimless). If you are someone who believes in destiny, I can tell you destiny will occasionally give you sxxxxy things. Noodle Max would be one of them. Noodle Max's main offerings are Lan Zhou style noodles and was it ever an unauthentic and underwhelming experience. I wouldn't go as far to say the soup was tasteless like water, but it's pretty bland. While the soup for Lan Zhou noodles are not generally crazy strong in flavour, it should still have the taste of spices. The beef slices were also pretty tame in flavour. They were ok. The main plus about their noodle was the portion; quite big. The noodle had better texture than most store bought noodles, but it did not have the proper floury taste and the limited flavours from the soup was not able to hang onto the noodles. Aurora used to be a black hole in terms of dining options, but not anymore. How Noodle Max continued to garner such a high Yelp and Google rating befuddles me.

If you plan to visit at least a couple of times a year, the annual membership is worth it for the food discount. Dishes we've tried so far: Lamb skewers - Premium cut, very flavourful. Grilled sea bass with vegetables - The fish is grilled first, then served hot-pot style with tofu, fried tofu puffs, black fungus, and leafy greens. A nutritious, well-rounded dish, and the frozen fish still tastes fresh. Sweet and sour chicken - Decent. Cold cabbage appetizer in sesame sauce - Perfectly seasoned, with just the right level of sweetness. Fried beef cut - Mediocre; the beef was a bit too chewy. "Water" boiled spicy fish - A large dish great for groups, served with about 5 pounds of basa fish. Hit my expectation of the dish but very filling with a lot of oil. Beef buns/rolls - Mediocre and quite dry. Overall, the food here offers great value -- just a bit pricier than food court fare, but with mid-tier restaurant quality. Portions are generous, and I always leave full. I'd happily come back when I'm in the area.

This restaurant is a lot of hit or miss things. But mostly I find if you try to order things that…read moreare not quite part of its regional cuisine that they cover. The one dish you must get here is the lamb skewers. They are one of the few places left still doing authentic versions of the fish where you slow roasted it over coal BBQ. A lot of places now cheap out and deep fry it. Which is not the same. This one keeps that good thick cut and does it right. The other dishes are also very spice oriented as you can see. And overall food is decent. The problem sometimes is they try to please everyone and add a few Cantonese dishes there. Those I would avoid. Just stick with the cuisine you came here for initially. I would recommend worth a try and it can get really packed. So be prepared for a wait cause the service staff is a hot or miss experience

In terms of speed, they're extremely quick with the orders and you get it within 10 minutes.

It used to be a place with average service but good quality food and fair pricing. Now it is a complete and Uther failure. The food is no longer good.

Theyve gotten so cheap that they cannot even use a proper lid for a takeout box for a baked rice as seen in the picture.

We ordered takeout from here a couple of days ago and it was pretty good!…read more I called in my order and there was a bit of miscommunication with the menu and some language barriers but we managed. Unfortunately one item was misunderstood and we received something different but it was still good. We ordered the beef with flat rice noodles and the baked pork chop on rice but requested it with chicken. We ended up getting the half/half cream sauce/tomato sauce with chicken and pork. I think I confused her when I asked for chicken however it is on the menu as baked pork chop OR chicken. Maybe it's just not a common request. Anyways, it was still pretty good, the pork chop and chicken were both tender, the rice was slightly golden in colour, I do wish it was a bit more fried rice-like. There was lots of sauce and cheese. The cream sauce had a distinct coconut flavour which was a bit odd but not entirely unpleasant. The beef noodles were great, gigantic portion, steaming hot and plenty of wok hei. We ordered cold lemon tea for our drinks, cold drinks were $1 extra, but it was worthwhile. The tea was made to order and it was perfectly sweet, lemony and not at all bitter. Prices were really affordable which is part of the HK cafe appeal. I think for the two dishes plus the drinks it came out to less than $35 and we both had plenty of leftovers. Value is definitely there. Overall it's a good option for HK cafe food in Aurora. Most of these restaurants are opening in Newmarket so this is a good option closer to home. Personally I feel that there are better choices in Newmarket but for proximity/value/taste I will definitely order from here again. I'd like to try some other dishes as well, I see they have some Cantonese style dishes that look good!

When I fancy an authentic bowl of Hong Kong noodles, this will always be my place!

The spring roll was pretty decent - better than the old egg roll. On a previous occasion the curry vegetables & moo goo gai pan were decent.

On top of the base charge, you must pay for at least 2 soup bases & this charge is pretty steep too; most other hotpot places either include the soups or charge only for premium soups. Even places that charge for soups don't charge up to $12 as this place does. At least the soups are very good - both tomato & pork bone were tasty. You get to mix your own sauces. Most are good, but sesame is super dilute. There's quite a variety of ingredients you can put in your hotpot. One category is skewers, which you can get yourself from the fridge. They are small & cook fast. The shrimp is quite fresh. The fishballs come with meat inside. Neither fish nor lobster balls are bouncy, though beef balls are pretty bouncy. There is one included cooked dish: crispy pork. It's sliced into finger shapes & is moist, crispy, flavourful & slightly spicy. A pity that they don't offer more cooked dishes! They have frog legs - so far I haven't found another place with that. They also have shrimp paste (other places give fish paste), which is good. For dessert there's fried buns which are neither hot nor crispy, served with watery condensed milk. There's also canned fruit bowls & 6 flavours of ice cream - the usual cheap ice cream with some ice crystals.
