Stumbled onto this place by accident as we were looking for a Chinese food restaurant on Christmas…read more They told us they would do a curbside pickup completely outside so we gave them a try. They are not a sit down restaurant and work entirely through takeout and local delivery. First impressions were very good as the food was still hot in the very generously filled packed containers when we got home. Food tasted great and value was amazing! For the great service we got on Christmas and the quality and value being what it was. Aurora gardens definitely earned a 5 stars!

The rice was quite good and the spring roll was excellent. The egg roll was dry and tasteless and certainly not worth ordering again.

Had the Szechuan dinner with ginger beef…read more Szechuan fried rice was supposedly with chicken & shrimp but there was only 1 shrimp. There was a good bit of chicken though. It was good with decent wok flavour. There were sour bits due to the spicy flavouring being spread out unevenly. The ginger beef was not bad. It was crispy, didn't have too much batter & tasted pretty good. The spring roll was a bit dry, but sizeable & still decent. It also had pretty big slivers inside.

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

I have been to this place since it's Initial opening and I have to say the decline is immense. From…read moreits first opening. 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. The prices have increased dramatically and the service has gotten next level bad. The latest time I took takeout will be my last. 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. This place is no longer redeemable and I would avoid it at all cost I've been burned one to many times on the food.

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!

This was the first time I tried the squid ball soup noodles, as always, it was delicious! I could taste plenty of squid inside the squid balls, noodles were chewy and the broth was delicious. Service was prompt and hot tea was served immediately on arrival. The only drawback is I feel they reduce the portion size for noodles although prices have increased inevitably over years. When I fancy an authentic bowl of Hong Kong noodles, this will always be my place!

The oil used to fry the chicken fried rice tastes a little old. There was more chicken than I expected in it but the taste was so so. Sesame chicken was lightly battered & crispy. The sauce was not too heavy & it was a good portion for lunch. It seemed to be sweet & sour chicken with sesame seeds rather than sesame chicken though. 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. The moo shu pork was tasty (it was better without the pancake & bean sauce actually).
