103 Queen St N Unit 03, Hamilton, ON L8R 2V5, Canada
Really good South Chinese food. Fantastic . This place was recommended to me by a person from Hong Kong. I don't know what's wrong with Hamilton but there's very few good Chinese restaurants and most of the Chinese restaurants in Hamilton are really bad, most of the restaurants in Hamilton are also not real Chinese food, it's Americanized. . So far this place is the best. Because it's authentic Chinese food. I grew up with this food in Asia. If you want real authentic Chinese food come to this place, it's very nice. It's typical that Chinese restaurants that are authentic. You have to know what to order the dishes that you may know or want you have to tell the waitress and she will order it off menu. You will understand that this is how it works in Asia. You have to know what to order. If you order from the menu as well that is fine, What I ordered in the menu turned out to be amazing and original. Some of the dishes in the menu might not translate well to what I wanted, therefore, in places like this you have to tell them exactly what you want if you know a specific dish. . The fried rice is very nice and authentic. The best one in Hamilton. I will definitely be coming back and ordering more. I wish I knew of this place sooner
Amazing bbq soy chicken, pork and duck! Mapo tofu is good too but a different take on it than great red peppers does (or did RIP)
We are regular customers of this place and love their food up until we got their house special steamed chicken raw and bloody.
Tipped them. Ordered a Drink and Spicy squid for takeout. Waited 30 minutes as people who came in after me received my food. I was ignored once asking the status of my food. Finally got it soggy and rushed. They forgot to make my order. Unacceptable. No courtesy. Will not be returning.
Visiting Hamilton today and stumbled upon this place. At first my wife and I were a bit sceptical about the authenticity of the food but we gave it a try and it was delicious. My wife and I were born and raised in Hong Kong / China and the food quality / taste is great and it’s comparable to Toronto / Markham region. My only advice for this business is to be more engaging to their customers.
This place is hands down the best Chinese BBQ in Hamilton area, our family visits often, shout outs to their roasted pork and ducks. It could be busy some times with all orders, but they do take care of your orders, for a small operation it is as good as it gets, waitress is nice, friendly and very caring.
Ordered a mix bbq dish, duck/chicken/pork, found it to be unevenly warmed (some pieces warm others cold) and kinda thrown together - but familiar taste that I expected. Ordered a wonton soup and was a little turned off by the browning parsley, wontons were ok I'll stick with the bbq and I will make a point to walk in (as I generally do)! Second order in was better, fresh parsley on the wonton, ordered separate dishes instead of a mix which I think made the difference. Craving satisfied 🤤 !
My new favourite Chinese restaurant in town. Love the variety of food here. Very authentic Cantonese cuisine with decent prices and good portion sizes. 2 if the dishes was slightly salty, but overall everything was quite delicious! Will come here again and again :)!
The barbeque duck here is divine. I randomly ordered the half portion and I was blown away by what I put in my mouth I could you not stop thinking about it. So much so that I went back the next day as soon as it opened at 11 AM to get a full order of the duck and it s still slapped, I have had barbeque duck in Toronto and other places even places that charge double the price of the very same thing and it just doesn t taste the same. There s something about the way that the duck sits in the sauce that makes this duck more than worth every penny that you spend on it. We also ordered their chow mein. It was really good according to my lover. Better than he was expecting apparently and then we ordered the fried rice which was pretty good fried rice so overall I would say that everything we ordered from there was a solid 8/10 and above. Quick service big portions. It s definitely worth a try. I wish I had photos to show you but anyway it s very worth it.
$20 double BBQ. The quantity made me laugh.
Small place, but the food speaks for itself absolute fire Vegetarian options: Why tf are u at a bbq restaurant Parking: Better to walk there after parking at a side street Wheelchair accessibility: Yeah not a chance too small to accommodate a wheelchair
Braised brisket with seasonal vegetables had 90% fat 10% beef.. cost $19.49 What a disgrace, your chefs and management should be ashamed.
Absolutely DISGUSTING! there was screw in the fried meat? are you intentionally trying to kill someone?! BE AWARE !!!!!!
The bbq duck is one of the best in the gta.
The printed receipt included a tip, and 15% of the consumption was charged by swiping the card, which is equivalent to giving a double tip in the end, taking advantage of the customers carelessness. After leaving, I found out that it felt like eating a fly, which is very disgusting. It doesnt taste good, nor does it taste bad. It makes me want to vomit.
Unexpectedly, the rice is not fully cooked!!!!!!good job KW kitchen*
Food looks and tastes old. Bbq pork was so dry. The roast duck looked grey. Would not recommend.
Love this place. Hot and sour soup is great, as is the spicy pork, beef and broccoli and red bean pancake. So good!
Great barbecue pork and duck also sell retail amazing soy sauce Parking: Small parking lot in a retail mall with a grocery store Food : 5/5 |
Food is very inconsistent. Sometimes its amazing sometimes its mediocre, depending on the day... Floor is VERY greasy its actually really slippery, watch your steps there.
fried rice noodle with beef and BBQ duck with rice noodle soup are so delicious as our favorites. We almost order every weekend when we are back from trips.
Big disappointment. Horrible. Used to love this place and came here often. But prices have gone up way too much. $20 barely got me a bit of rice with some roast duck and BBQ pork, and the portions are much smaller now. The meat wasnt even that good. Plus, they added a 10% service charge at checkout and still expected at least a 15% tip for barely any service. Definitely not coming back.
Roast pork and chicken are delicious
Ordered the yangzhou rice ( which should have had eggs, pork and shrimp in it) but I received rice with only vegetables in it.
Delicious Asian food, cooked to your desire spice wise. Can also bring your own fish, lobster, frog legs and they will cook them for you. Small quaint restaurant but the atmosphere is relaxing. Very well known for their take out food also. Highly recommend. Food is freshly cooked.
Made an order for pickup and really wanted to try the Hot and Sour soup, because I was told it is the best around. It is truly the best around if you like it dark, thick and loaded with shrimp, and pork!! The food is fantastic, the service is great and prices reasonable Food
Im used to Toronto BBQ and this place was top notch. We had roast duck, soy chicken and BBQ pork. All delicious and tender. We also had soup. I had beef and tendon and the boys had meat and shrimp wonton soup.
Excellent authentic Chinese food! Their barbecue duck, pork and chicken are the best in the city.
One of the better low key chinese food restaurants in Hamilton. Authentically cooked. Had the hot and sour soup and salt and pepper shrimp. Amazing taste
foods not bad, do not tips them .when paying the bill they all ready charged . I understand we should tips them ,but they do not tell you, so when I pay the bill you tips them again.
Food is always great.
My go-to spot for fried rice! They have the best seafood fried rice I ve ever had and most of their other stuff are pretty good too!
Hidden gem. Authentic, delicious, well priced Chinese cuisine.
Had dinner here and it was our first time. Good food , very delicious but place is a bit small. It is a decent place. We will definitely eat here again if we pass by Hamilton. Just fyi gratuity is included.
Maybe went on an off day , everything we got were so salty
The best barbecue in Hamilton, bar none
The food over all is good, but the price at the cashier is including tips but they never tell me, so I tipped them 15% consider small business with hard working people. when I left the restaurant I felt like something was wrong so I calculated found out they charged 10% tips already, so it mean I tipped 26%?? what a not honest business feel like GOT SCAMMED! that s absolutely not how you should run your business, scammed money from people, will not go back again.
Suprized how fast our food came out and man it was delicious wide variety of options will definitely be back
Some steep declines in quality... Would recommend against eating here.
The large intestine is full of hair and the service fee was overcharged. I won t go there again.
I am a regular at this restaurant and spend over $100 everyttime The flavors are inconsistent. This time I decided to write a review because EVERYTHING I ordered was super SALTY. Deep-fried squid tentacles were very soggy, to the point of them falling apart when picked up. Out of 7 dishes ordered this time, was only able to eat 2 dishes. $114 + down the drain. Not sure if I want to order again.
I love thier food, I have a business up the street from this place and I always order the same thing...chicken fried rice ,vegetables and sweet and sour chicken!! The best in hamilton!!!
I had gastrointestinal disease, so I ordered preserved egg and lean meat porridge here. I was afraid that eating too much meat would be bad, so I made a note to order more porridge and less meat. Then I was given a whole portion of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and a portion of white porridge. Thanks!
I have been to this place several times in the last 4+ years. I am always impressed by the quality of their BBQ meat, and the dishes that are so tasty. Its better than all the BBQ places in GTA.
Google search and found this little gem . Thought limited in selection of Chinese styled BBQ meats . Char Shu ( BBQ pork ) beautifully glazed and tender . Will definitely be back to try more .
tasty
Cozy little joint for a quick lunch. Great location as its close by an asian market and vietnamese restaurant. One of the few places I frequent for lunch and they have not disappoint so far.
Nice hong kong style meal
The crispy roast pork is cold and the fat on it has solidified. It was very fishy and inedible. The roast duck this time was all bones and not much meat. I took one bite and it was so disgusting that I threw it away. The quality is far from the original, I will never go there again
Chinese food is reasonably priced. Short wait time for takeout.
Love the food here. Their chicken on rice combo is a gem.
Beef with biter melon didn t seem fresh at all .no wonder the pick up time is only mins on XiongMao App
Very quick. Good quality. Broccoli was good. Flexible with preferences. Good shrimp rolls. Good tofu. Id eat here again.
Finally found an authentic Chinese food restaurant that serves Chinese bbq meats as well.
Authentic HK style food. Came for the roasted pork but it was sold out so I got BBQ pork and soy sauce chicken instead. Great price for what you re getting. Will recommend coming earlier if you want roasted pork.
Beef bitter melon was so delish omg. They service was really good and they were very friendly. Definitely will come back and try out other dishes
Overall tasty place to eat, but there are times of hit or miss. Service is OK, typical most Chinese restaurants. Parking is the issue at this little plaza, especially on the weekends.
I do takeout here often and I agree with others, so far the best chinese restaurant in Hamilton especially because its slightly cheaper than other chinese restaurants.
Food was so good, couldnt get a chance to take a photo
The food was super fresh and so tasty. We will definitely order again!!!
Ordered bbq pork and duck via Uber eats. Both were delicious, but the portions were rather small for the price. Bbq duck came with way too much fat and bone, barely any meat... its a shame, because the (very) few pieces of meat I managed to eat were really good. I know duck naturally have lots of fat and bone. I had bbq duck from other places that were not as good, but at least the portions were bigger. I will not order again, unfortunately, because its not worth the price .
Highly Recommend this Restaurant!!! Was ordering food for a friend who is on gluten-free diet, the owner was really patient with me over the phone, she went through each item with me, and made suggestions according to our needs. Food was really delicious, good portion. Will definitely come back in person again!
Best Chinese bbq in the city. Pretty good for southern Ontario (Goldstone in T.O. being my favourite; I am sadly ignorant of the Markham/Scarborough bbq game). Also, decent canto dishes (sweet and sour pork, chow mein, etc.).
If you looking for authentic and traditional Chinese food this isnt the place to go because it ruined the reputation of chinese food in Gerenal. But this resturant is still not the worst,most of the dish fuse with the bosses own ways of making food. If very wanted chinese bbq but not able to reach toronto this is a ok choice compare to Supreme bbq in hamilton
Great little place, very good food, roasted duck was amazing. Menu with lots of choices
Food was good, service is poor.
The super authentic cured duck is more delicious than anything I ve had in Guangzhou before!
I gave you one star because the food is pretty good very authentic the other two star is the horrible service that I received we find a fly on our dishes we try to keep it down and tell them what s going on they were very negative and angry instantly and start giving the face I notice the server is actually the owner who think we did a purposely no one ever apologize or said anything if you re so unhappy and angry why do you have to be a restaurant owner go to something else that you re better at when I was paying I asked her if The tips is included she instantly gave you that look and said yes 10% and never said thank you never apologize I gave her 10 in the end but the services is so bad that I had to write this review for them I don t think I m going back close the restaurant if you don t want to open specially you re the owner
Fairly cheap. A little small place for my comfort but food was good. I had bbq pork on rice and some noodle dish. Both were yummy.
This place sucks. The food is either too salty or too bland! This place poorly reflects what Chinese food is. If there were 0 stars, I would give them that.
This place is horrible. I would give them no stars if possible. It has the worst BBQ pork I have ever had. The curry chicken had no flavour and tasted like fish . The other foods are way too salty. I would not recommend going to this place unless you want a heart attack from all the salt they put in.
First time eating here. My wife has been searching for BBQ duck and authentic Chinese dishes. We certainly found it here. The service is fast & very courteous. The food was exactly what we were hoping for. We re going to be regular customers whenever we re in Hamilton.
They will never tell you they put 10% service fee on your bill. Check the receipt before leave any tips.
my favorite Chinese restaurant in Hamilton
The vegetable fried rice is very tasty. It was served hot and fresh. The price was reasonable.
Not that great honestly, kind of disappointing taste. Beef is chewy and slimy which was gross. Chicken was ok, wouldnt get again
Good
Great spot for Chinese food and BBQ. Their roast pork is best in town imo.
Got some BBQ pork here. Is a bit on the salty side compare to the sweeter honey taste of Nation, but it goes great with rice. Will come back again
The three-piece rice with fried chicken, roast duck and roast pork is my favorite. I am willing to drive down the mountain to eat this. Note that it is very dry when eaten alone. Ask the store to add more juice to improve the taste.
less expensive Chinese food but good quality. no dining during pandemic. they do seperate the soup from the noodles. I like the special noodles. BBQ pork, duck are all very good. we order very often .
Not your average north americanized Chinese food takeout (small seating area prior to the current pandemic.) Most menu items are in Chinese, sometimes you need to ask about the items. Some foods are regional so be sure to ask about them.
The worst experience in food and service. We ordered for pick up on New Years Eve and arrived to a line up of 15 people outside the door and that line was growing quickly. Everyone had also previously called in to order. Minimal staff working with no process in place and they moved like cold molasses!!! Disappointed in the food, it was cold, starchy and the shrimp not cooked. First and last time at this place!!!!
On a Lunar New Year we ordered from this restaurant via Uber Eats app as it mentioned the pick-up would be 10-20 minutes. Once the app let us know it was ready for pick up, to our surprise, there was a line up out the door. It was then clear to me the order was not ready. I waited approximately an additional 1 hour to the initial 20 min wait time, outside in the cold, along with many other patrons. I understand that it was a very busy night but expectations of this was not set on the app or in person. The front house service had very little communication to the point where they were ignoring customers inquiring about timing and also just unable to give ETAs at all. Waiting that long is acceptable as long as expectations are set. I suggest updating the settings on Uber eats to be more accurate as well as letting patrons know who are standing outside in the cold how long they should expect orders to be done to make informed decisions on how to proceed.
Do yourself a favour and try the rice noodles in XO sauce with beef. An amazing and unique flavour. Umami to the max... Although I wish there was a chicken or even shrimp option for that dish.
BBQ Pork is amazing here, great prices and authentic atmosphere.
The boiled fish I ordered was not fresh and had a strong earthy smell.
This is a solid 3 stars. I love the BBQ pork but it can be really fatty sometimes and thats why I removed one star. The food is ok and the price is really cheap which is nice. I like how the BBQ meal comes with yummy Bok Choy ! The spices on the pork are delicious, Im a huge fan of Chinese 5 spice flavour. I would come back again but I hope they will trim the fat better from the meat in the future.
Really solid choice for classic Cantonese-style Chinese food, one of my go-tos. Great BBQ selection including duck, crispy roasted pork, and BBQ pork. Good portions at a reasonable price!
Love there wanton sop
Delicious BBQ!!
Always the best chinese food to fill the cravings! FYI roast pork is only certain days, call ahead beforwle ordering
By far a hidden gem and one of the best take outs in Hamilton I have come across. Excellent value for your dollar and the food is incredibly great. The owners are excellent as well. Strongly recommended to try the 1LB of BBQ pork, and everything else is excellent!
Absolutely loved my sticky rice with meat and Chinese broccoli in oyster sauce. I had forgotten what oyster sauce smells like, but I love it too.
Some of the best Cantonese style Chinese in the area without going to Toronto. The BBQ shop up front is the best for sure. BBQ Pork (Char Siu) is always amazing.
Food is fresh and hot. Usually order for pick up. Variety of dishes are offered. Menu includes numerous soup choices.
An unassuming place in an unassuming plaza, but one of maybe 2 or 3 places in hamilton that serves genuine, non-americanized chinese food. I often get their braised beef with bok choy or any of their duck dishes. I have eaten numerous variations of their rice noodle soups as well. So far i have been pleased with every dish Ive ordered from here. Reasonably priced. 11 to 15 bucks per dish, but you get a decent amount.
best char xiu pork Ive ever had anywhere, in my life. the duck is also amazing, and waaaay up there. their menu is also fantastic. I love this place
I really like their food, but the price is on the high side. But I don t know if it was a coincidence or not. I ordered braised pork with pickled vegetables. The portion was very small and only had a few pieces of meat. I hope it was just a coincidence.
The taste is okay and the hygiene is average
Food was delicious, fresh an good
I will never go there again. The barbecue was good before the epidemic. Since the epidemic, I have been told in advance every time not to burn it. The person who cuts it every time picks two pieces to cut, but in the end they are all burnt and inedible. Its the same as not saying it. Do you really think that the guests wont see what the meat you cut looks like? Cut the good piece into a small piece and put it back, and cut the burnt piece completely for the guests.
The best currently lesser known place to order in Hamilton. Everything I ve ordered from here (which is nearly everything) has been delicious. They re fairly quick in preparing it. The stir fried beef with mushroom, ginger and green onion dish is delicious! The garlic seafood rice is a hefty serving with great taste and a healthy seafood to rice ratio. The Triple BBQ dish will also not disappoint with delicious Duck and 2 kinds pork with rice. Order what you d like or go with the suggestions I mentioned and enjoy!
The worst take out I have ever had!!! The beef with season veggies was all fat and almost no actual beef. The duck was so tuff and over done that my daughter couldnt even eat it and the pineapple pork was cold and pure rubber texture!!! I will NEVER order from this place again
Dont let the exterior fool you, the food is excellent, we ate as a work group, and when the bill came we were pleasantly surprised how inexpensive it was for the quality. The entire time we were having lunch their was a steady stream of people taking takeaway food.
0 star. Paid 13$ for some pieces of leftover food. Roasted duck was even still raw. All in garbage.
Amazing authentic Chinese food for very reasonable price
Some of the best real chinese food and bbq this side of Toronto. Also always helpful and friendly staff. Happy New Year!
My number one go to place for takeout. Bbq is pretty decent too
Delicious and inexpensive! Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, recommended roasted duck rice noodles, pickled pork rice with pickled vegetables, beef tendon and brisket pot, and there is also a hidden menu, braised pork belly and tofu pot!
I ordered duck head and duck wings. Did the duck head smell fishy? ? Nausea and vomiting
Royal concubine chicken is my favorite
Really poor quality food. They have a lot of authentic Cantonese dishes but everything was honestly terrible.
Ive always bought a whole duck from them, and it fills two regular-sized takeout boxes. I bought half a duck this time, but everything fitted easily into ONE SMALL-SIZED takeout box. What they gave me was definitely far less than a half duck. I feel I was being ripped off! They can raise the price, but a half duck is a half duck!
Delicious and not expensive. Recommend the beef brisket/beef tendon vermicelli and roasted pork rice.
Great food with nice service
Literally the best hot and sour soup in Hamilton
Unfriendly staff cleanliness is the issue i bet roaches and little friends
This place is some what ok......the food is very good...
The first, I recognize that the duck is delicious! Second, the man who cut the duck for me usually hid some pieces under the knife after cutting the duck. Running business shouldnt be like that. Honestly. On google review, I got reply from the owner for explain the reasons and I hope that was true. This review just encourage the business to do better because I think they can. We all guys like to live in a happy, fair community. Clients and market would keep checking it. Thank for the response.
Easily the best Chinese BBQ place in Hamilton. My go to for BBQ pork, crispy roast pork, roast duck, and braised pork. Always tasty and fresh.
Best BBQ duck and amazing noodles, I can t stop myself from going there at least every week
Delicious food chinese food is great
Just ordered the bbq pork on Uber eats and was super impressed! Huge portion, juicy and really delicious pork! The rice was perfect too! Will order again for sure!!
Some steep declines in quality... Would recommend against eating here.
Had the triple BBQ with rice combo (BBQ duck, pork, & sausage, over steamed rice with two pieces of bok choy) and a spring roll. Food was very tasty, but I ended up being very very sick (tummy troubles, to put it lightly) the next day. Of course I cant say for certain it was the food, but I cant think of anything else to have caused it.
The noodle was amazing
This restaurant serves many traditional Chinese dishes. Service is friendly and quick, portions are big. Prices are moderate. We almost always have leftovers to box and take home.
Hands down, most legit Chinese food in Hamilton.
Excellent food and great value.
Was very nice! Accidently got chicken stomach noodle soup (oops) but my friends duck and rice dish was spectacular. Average prices and great food, especially for Hamilton.
Food was very nice, however it seemed like the heat wasnt on it was freezing inside. Other then that though no complaints. Only been there once but will likely return as the serving was generous and the price was good.
Very good place for bbq/roasted pork. Pricing is great!! I ordered the bbq pork noodle soup and it was delicious
Solid authentic hk style food. Will even cook u Chinese style lobster if u bring them one...for a small charge.
I like their foods.
i have a bad diet there, causing me diarrhea for an night. Never go again.
very dirty I ll never eat there again!
Cutting without gloves is really disgusting
Dirty has Hell .... I don t like this place anymore. When they first opened it was beyond excellent, then they changed owners and the dishes were reduced in portion size. The last straw was when I seen one of the staff roll up a floor mat at end of day closing with his bare hands, then proceeded to prepare bbq for my dish without washing his hands. WATCH THEM FOR HAND WASHING !!!!
Best BBQ
After eating in Hamilton for so many years, I don t need a reason to give five stars.
Good for a casual Chinese restaurant, or for BBQ to go. The prices here are decent and the service is quick. Would recommend for simple Chinese food, especially in Hamilton where quality Chinese food is scarce.
Great food for a great price. Come here if you want a quick bite or want some tasty Chinese bbq. Favourite dishes are the fried shrimp and bbq pork.
i went there twice a month when i lived in Hamilton, so far the best Chinese bbq I have ever tried in GTA
good
Food is ok, but they need to work on the dining environment.
Very delicious rice noodles
Best General Tao chicken dish in the city! Very reasonable prices. We always order takeout as eating in is a bit cramped & loud.
The taste was okay I guess but I had to sleep with a garbage can beside my bed all night and in the morning my stomach was still hurting and I couldnt get out of bed
good
Food tastes great.
Great lunch tasty and
Good to be here, cheapest price in town, foods not too good, but
Food traditional a good
If you really want good Chinese restaurant in Hamilton, now you know where to go. I recently found this one and didnt want to post it cause it might be busy I wont get a seat whenever I go.
No frills but delicious Chinese style bbq, snacks, and congee. Good price. Cash/debit only.
Came one a few weeks ago n have since been back a few times. Food is excellent. Thumbs up
Barbecue pork, duck ... Yum yum.
Its pretty good. Maintaining this level in this urban village deserves a 5-star rating.
Just ok food and moderate environment, would not recommend.
Pretty decent prices. Food is great. Communication is tricky at best.
Great place great food
Cheap but high quality Cantonese BBQ. Not worse than some old fashioned BBQ restaurants in Markham or Richmond Hill.
Be sure to add stir-fried land to the double combo
Cheap and affordable
Ordered takeout yesterday and found a piece of hard plastic in the food. Been to this place couple times, price and the taste is good. But wont return anymore after this incident. How can such a big piece of sharp plastic get into the food??
