Noodles and dumplings is a diamond in the rough. Situated in Downtown Hamilton the restaurant is…read moreextremely small giving an almost street food ambiance as best it can. Seating for about 8 -10 people. This particular day I ordered the Wonton Noodle Soup. A massive bowl of fresh hand made noodle and fresh wontons in a delectable broth. This broth was not hot chili wise as some other soups they offer with naked thus place unique. Each bowl is crafted with a different taste and being a small place the chef is visible to see! The attention to detail in every bowl is amazing as he takes time to perfect each to be a perfect presentation. Very hawker/street style! No need to go to Toronto it's all right here. The hours are limited during the week and more flexible on weekend as the there is only one guy (the chef) and a counter person. highly impressed highly recommend

However if you're looking for absolutely authentic noodles and dumplings served up steaming hot with the sweetest owners then go ahead and pay them a visit.

Lots of street parking close by but be warned there is not much seating and it's super cold if you sit by the door as there's lots of people going in and out. Seriously incredible stuff

The parking in the back is VERY tight but we were lucky enough to find a spot. The restaurant was relatively empty when we walked in but there were a lot of takeouts as we sat down to eat. AMBIANCE: 4/5 The ambiance is a little odd for me. The chairs and tables are small and plasticky thin. The floors were sticky but the tables were clean. The restaurant is bright and bigger than expected. FOOD: 4.5/5 We ordered 1. Sizzling Pepper Beef: I LOVE sizzling platters. However, the sauce used on this wasn't the pepper gravy I was used to at HK cafes. The dish was still delicious and came out HOT. There was a lot of protein at first glance but it seems like underneath the beef it's all onions - not sure if it's worth $16 but great to try. 2. Singapore Noodles with Chicken: LOVE THIS. I told the staff I didn't eat pork and if I can swap it out with chicken. They told me they'd have to remove the shrimp as well which was fine. The chicken was actually very very good - it was a little fried and savory. I just wish there was more noodles in this dish as they used a lot of bean sprouts. MUST GET. SERVICE: 4/5 The servers were great (although we were the 1 of 3 tables in the restaurant). The server was quick, spoke decent English to communicate, and accommodating. OVERALL: 4.5/5 I will definitely return to Mr. Gao in the future. This is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Hamilton right now after Only One Chinese restaurant closed down :(

Every so often when our family gets together we like to order Chinese take-out, so ever since we…read moreall moved to Burlington ---three households --- we have been looking for a restaurant that delivers good Chinese food that we can rely on as our regular "go-to" place. We decided to order dinner from Aroma Kitchen based on the reviews here, but with the terrible customer service and mediocre food, it certainly won't happen again. Details: I called at 7:25 p.m. and placed an order for nearly $80 worth of food. I was told that it would be "1/2 hour to 45 minutes". I figured it would take more like 45 minutes, but after we had waited an hour and a half, we began to get hungry and wondered if the delivery driver might be lost. I called the restaurant and asked about the status of our order. The woman ("Donna", according to the receipt) interrupted me to shout, "Ya ya ya! On the way! On the way!" Another 20 minutes passed with no delivery, and this time my daughter phoned. Donna shouted at her as well, claiming that it was "far to drive!" and that it "takes a long time to drive so far!" Note that our house was less than 10 km from the restaurant. Of course, by the time the driver finally arrived, the food was no longer hot. After the lengthy delay and being rudely shouted at, we found that the food was only mediocre and the portions were not particularly large. Such a disappointment. Never again. This restaurant has been crossed off our family's list of dining options.

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.

There is nothing spicy about the food here despite it being a Sichuan restaurant. For the "ant crawling up the tree" noodle dish, what they gave doesn't even remotely match what a traditional "ant crawling up the tree" dish would look like.
