Hot Spicy Spicy Chinese Restaurant in North York

Very delicious, the most authentic Sichuan cuisine

First of all, there was weird smell from my meats. Ive complained but they didnt do anything about it. My bill was $80.00 which was not worth at all. I strongly suggest to not to go to this place.

Very bad Services quality, I park my car at the back of restaurant in the proper parking, after we spend over $hundreds of dollars and I notice one of the worker there put garbages on my car,people working in the kitchen are so rude , very unfriendly, specifically that Asian curly hair man was so rude and not polite , never come to this place again, this place dirty as well , i dont know how they will pass health and safety(guys check the kitchen before you order anything, nothing is fresh , very dirty Oil they use)

I ordered a Mapo Tofu which one of the favourites of Sichuan dishes. However, it was so salty and the tasted very strange. I felt sick after eating the meal.

Clean-tasting and spicy boiled fish, flavourful sesame noodles, the servers and owner were welcoming and attentive. We brought our toddler with us and he was offered a high seat immediately and utensils. He also enjoyed the sesame noodles. A lovely place to eat at!

Authentic Chinese food!

Red oil louver, flavor chicken, Maoxuewang, and dry pot series are all worth eating

Amazingly delicious Mapo Tofu! Sichuan eggplant also amazing!

Great food and owner is super friendly!!

A bit pricey, but the food was amazing!

I almost finished the food before I thought of taking pictures Just look at how authentic the CD tastes. You must take away a pack of this delicious sausage.

Expensive. The portion is small and not tasty. The spicy hot pot is not authentic at all.

It s everything you want. Everything you need.

Terrific!

Huge portions! Authentic food of my ancestors

What a gem in North York, although parking is a bit tricky in the plaza, this restaurant feels very authentic and very mom and pop. Food was amazing, I was afraid it was going to be overly spicy, but the food all come out adjusted to proper spice levels. Will definitely visit again!

Great food and service! One of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. A must try if you like spicy.

It s real Sichuan cuisine. Can t believe can taste the authenticSichuan Food in Toronto. Especially the Basa Fish spicy soup, this is 100% recommendations. Overall, the food is really good and it must try if you love spicy food

Love this place and the guy that usually serves us is always exceptional in his service and extremely good memory. Feels good when we go back . Much appreciated!

This is the best restaurants Ive ever been to. If youre new to Chinese food, go here! They have a variety of foods to choose from! Would Recommend!

I tried it once. Compared to the decoration, the food is a bit expensive. I personally don t like restaurants that require membership cards, but the food tastes good! It uses real chili peppers, unlike some Internet celebrity Sichuan dishes that use capsaicin.

Very friendly staffs including the owner ! Lots of dishes to choose including non spicy dishes ! Price is about right !

Been to Hot Spicy many times and they never disappoint. Great service and food. A go to spicy food restaurant for me.

Food very good !

good food, good service

This place rules.

This is one of our favorite Sichuan restaurants. Their beef/beef louver hot pot is very delicious, and their Sichuan cold noodles, Yibin burning noodles, kidney flowers, spicy hotpot, etc. are also very authentic. Their homemade hot sauce and Sichuan sausage are also delicious. The boss is from Chongqing and is very hospitable. We often drive here from the north to eat his food.

I have been eating at Malatang Sichuan Restaurant for 10 years and it has always been delicious. I especially like their kidney beans, saliva chicken and sausages.

Used to have hot pot here. Today just picked up the grandma s bao( ) -the house s pork bum,one of my favourite foods in the restaurant.

The best Szechuan food in the GTA! Always get the popcorn chilli chicken and Dan Dan noodles. Portions are generous. Price is correct. Get a jar of their homemade chilli sauce too!

The flavor is ok but the taste needs to be improved. . .

Great Szechuan food.

I ordered mutton fried with green onions and shredded potatoes. I felt sick to my stomach at night and even vomited.

An OG spicy authentic Sichuan restaurant in Toronto. I cannot even remember how many times Ive been here with previous friends and girlfriends. Very good and flavorable menu selections and surprisingly there is a handful of menu items as well that doesnt completely burn off your tongue if you are rather averse to spicy food. The atmosphere is obviously nothing impressive at all but the food is consistently good and the meat is cooked very tenderly, especially they are chicken. I would definitely recommend it for a casual meal.

Hop spicy spicy is really good Chinese restaurant We were like in China , eating in a local restaurant We really like Sichuan spicy boiled fish Fried rice Winter melon tea Highly recommended!

As a repeat customer of over 20 years, this is the best Sichuan cuisine in Toronto, period.

The Spicy Hot Pot is authentic and delicious. Even with reheat, the leftovers still taste so much like at the restaurant. Will come back again!

The taste is ok, good for meals. It just feels a bit expensive. Four dishes for two people cost $108.

One sip and I instantly feel like I m back home.

Absolutely fantastic food and generous portions. Everything is super flavourful and well prepared. 10/10 would repeat

Very yummy food , great service , loved it ! Highly recommend it!

Love their signature spicy dishes, although the service seems to be odd sometimes

The food tastes great, Ill definitely come back.

Szechuan If you crave that numbing floral goodness of those magical peppercorns mixed into delicious dishes then this is the place! Portions are good size so you might over order but it means leftovers!

Highly recommend this place! Excellent variety of food and delicious, great service! Simon and his staff are extremely hospitable!

wouldnt recommend this place. The food is mediocre, especially the intestines in the spicy hot pot were tough to chew. The billing process was outrageous they insisted on using a high exchange rate for RMB, and without consent, added a 10% tip. Wont be going back.

This is one of the authentic Sichuan restaurant in Toronto. Have been fan of them for many years. Their portions are huge, just got their spicy beef and tofu soup, which came in with 3 jars of soup! After COVID many restaurants did either inflation or shrinkflation, but this restaurant does neither. What I love most is that the dishes includes tax, and they skip the tipping option for you when you pick up the food! And they give you great service. Cant believe someone saying this restaurant is expensive. With the inflation on oil and everything, they are generous compared to most restaurants.

I really like their Northern style pork buns.

The chef must have changed. After a few dishes, they were not at the same level as before.

Originally worth two points for taste, Xiaohongshu deducted one point for false advertising. If you haven t tasted real Sichuan food, don t pretend to be authentic.

It has always been one of the best Sichuan restaurants in Toronto. It would be great if there was a branch in Markham/Richmond Hill in the north.

If you are craving the authentic flavours and heat of this region, look no further. We tried the Ma Po Tofu, Popcorn Chili Chicken, Dan Dan Noodles and the green beans. Everything was nicely balanced (heat vs flavour). So many more items on the menu that look interesting. My only complaint is that its far from where I live and that there arent more options for Sichuan cuisine in the GTA.

The sausages are pretty awesome. The boss is very chill. The kidneys are also delicious.

Friendly staff, quick service & decent food.

This is one of my favorite restaurant for good quality Szechuan hot and spicy food. There are so much to choose from. Ive tried so many different dishes and they are all so delicious

Ordered loin fillet and boiled fish. The store owner is really good at controlling the tenderness of the ingredients. But the flavor needs to be enhanced. I also ordered a steamed bun, which is my favorite sauce pork bun, really good. Overall very good.

Not tasty at all. Bad customer service as well. Won t recommend this restaurant to anyone

The BEST cold spicy chicken & beef noodle!!!!! I also LOVE everything in the menu! Cant wait to go back again!!!

Overrated restaurant, not authentic Sichuan food, dont like it.

Amazing Sichuan food! Very delicious and not very spicy and salty. Great customer service too! We will definitely come back again!

Every dish is delicious! ! It feels like the best Sichuan food I have ever eaten in Toronto!

The chicken offal only had chicken gizzards, and my cheeks were sore from chewing. The kidney beans in a soy saucepan tasted good, but not sooty enough. They didn t have the feeling of being stir-fried over a high fire. I read the recommendation on Xiaohongshu, but it didn t meet my expectations.

Dont be ridiculous, not to mention it tastes terrible and almost knocked out my mothers teeth, but I still have the nerve to accept money.

Sausages are very good

The best Sichuan restaurant in Toronto. I have been eating here since I was in high school to working. The hot and sour noodles I ordered today, the sausage is really delicious

Authentic Szechuan (spicy) food. Very reasonable price. Thanks so much for hosting us tonight.

My favorite sichuan flavour and my favorite sausages! Whatever sausages you try, you will go back here. Hope they can keep the quality and introduce more delicious plates!

great spicy food, although a little pricey, would still go back

LOVE this restaurant. Its one of the few authentic Sichuan places in Toronto. We had the chili oil fish soup and its fantastic! So much flavour and the perfect spice level. Also had ma-po tofu, fried cauliflower and dandan noodles. We dont eat pork and the restaurant was happy to remove the meat from a few dishes. The staff taking our orders were very friendly and you can really tell this is a group that takes a lot of pride in their food. Sichuan is one of our favorite cuisines and were so happy to have this place in Toronto. I will be going back happily, and often!

One of the best ever. A truly authentic restaurant. Fresh, flavourful dishes matched with good service. Hard to find such great food!

This is by far the best Asian cuisine you can find in Ontario! I have had everything on the menu. The food is superb. Last time I was there they had a customer drive from Kitchener just to pick up a large order. People come from far and wide to enjoy this incredible, delicious, authentic cuisine. The owner Simon and his family provide the highest standard of hospitality to their guests. Highly recommend!

Hot Spicy Spicy Chinese Restaurant is a gem of North York, née Toronto, née Ontario. The flavour of the food is second to none and leaves you wanting more. The restaurant is well setup for takeout orders and dinning in. The fish in hot chili oil is one of their best dishes and I highly recommend it. This is a must try place.

Overcharged on takeout orders and reluctant to give receipt. You have to ask one. Two stars for the food

Authentic Chongqing flavor with five-star reviews. I often go to this restaurant. There are many special dishes that can t be eaten in other places, such as the popular kidney flower. When we ate in before, everyone at our table rushed to eat this dish, haha, and Konjac boiled fish, pickled pepper dishes, Granny Chen s special noodles, etc., and of course the various noodles that I like to eat, small noodles, such as pea mixed noodles, which I always add a special braised to the noodles. Beef, so satisfying. Like

As a chinese that been eating spicy chinese food for years. This is absolutely not tasty at all. Some of the stuff in the food is missing and pretty pricey as well None of the stuff are fresh Threw the plate away after 2 bite Forgot to add pictures

Decent but pricy food

Spicy and heavy authentic flavor.

Ordered take out from fd food. Had malaxiangguo and added so many sides and was charged almost $30 for it but only got half bowl of it. This is ridiculously expensive. Also the taste is not good at all.....

The family and I drive there from Milton. The first time we went just to try it. We keep going back because it was that good. Service is friendly and fast. The food was very good no matter your taste. You can have it spicy or normal. The spicy satisfies my desire for heat. We will be back again soon.

The portions were insufficient. On July 19, I ordered fish-flavored shredded pork for 14.99 and Chongqing green pepper shredded pork for 15.99. The portion of the fish-flavored shredded pork was obviously smaller than the 9.99 box sold in Chinese supermarkets. The portion of the Chongqing green pepper shredded pork was more. Less. But the taste is definitely different compared to the ones in Chinese supermarkets.

The food is delicious , worth the price.

The mutton pot is amazing

Totally disappointed. Taste is not authentic Szechuan so if you are looking for Szechuan food I do not recommend here. Also, the dishes do not even look like pictures on the menu at all. When we asked why the dishes look so different, the manager told us pictures are just for reference, it s not what the food actually look like. so what is the point of showing pictures on your menu then? To mislead people with good pictures?

The food is absolutely delicious! Strongly recommend to go! Love it!

Looks like the chef has been changed? The dishes ordered are basically terrible... they dont have the same taste as before. The sauced pork buns are also salty and dark, which shows how much soy sauce is put in them. .....Maybe I had too high expectations before going there.

Authentic Sichuan food

One of the best Sichuan restaurants in Toronto. The only one of the same level is Chopsticks. The flow is endless (now it s average).

The taste is very authentic, the selection of ingredients is average, and there are many choices. Although the visit is not big, it is definitely a place worth visiting.

Love it

I try a different menu item with my wife every time I go, and never leave disappointed. The owner doesnt know my name but every time I walk in he make sure to wave at me and remembers every single dish Ive had before and when I do try something new he specifically asks me about it. Really glad we bumped into this place after receiving rude service from Paradise next door.

Not delicious, the food is not authentic

Its really not delicious... What the hell is spicy hotpot? The spicy chicken is not authentic at all.

Sichuan style sausage, kidney, and griddle chicken offal are delicious

Cant say enough great stuff about this place but Im gonna go for it. The food is really something else, not like anywhere else in the city. Obviously they take great care and pride in what they cook and serve, and the wait staff are among the nicest in the city. Everything we ordered was excellent and it would be hard to pick a standout, but Ill say the double cooked pork and the fu qi fei pian were pretty high up there. So great to know Toronto has places like this in the city. See you guys again soon.

The food here is excellent! And they sell their own spicy sausages while supplies last.

The lady who wears black suit did horrible service and was using their own language talk about customers, that was pretty rude!

The best Sichuan food ever

This is relatively one of the most authentic Chongqing restaurants you can find in Toronto. I like it very much when I want to have spicy food.

Their spicy fish soup is the best in Toronto. I miss it every day.

Perfect hot

One star is too much. The tabletop is super oily and dirty. The top layer of soy milk is covered with a layer of oil. How dare you drink it? It doesnt taste good, nor is it particularly unpleasant. Its very dirty and my stomach hurts after eating. The attitude of the landlady is unbeatable. Its best not to tell the landlady face to face that there is a problem with the food. According to her, she is a member of the underworld in China. She cant afford to offend you. Its really wronging you for the underworld to open a store abroad. *Update: Do you have to fight? Is it stipulated that your family must comment tonight after eating today? And I posted most of the content last year. I didn t expect that I would edit it more than a year later when I had diarrhea after eating it at your place. The fact that you replied I haven t done dine-in in 4 months in just one second is enough to show your hypocrisy. I know whether soy milk is oily or not. Do you have to dig it out and post a picture?

Amazing and authentic Chinese food!!

Delicious traditional Chinese sichuan food!

Food is good. However make sure you check your bill before pay. My take out order get over charged.

The only restaurant where I got diarrhea after eating

Ordered takeout, but wasnt ready as talked over phone. Only started making the dish when I was on site.

As a Cantonese, I think this Malatang is very good.

We came because of the beef in spicy oil. The flavour was good but made my mouth tingle. The portions were very small. The intestine was covered with so much chilli peppers but not enough intestines. Also we paid 50 dollars for 2 dishes and 2 bowls of rice and not satisfied. Not going back I could get better dishes for cheaper elsewhere.

In short it is one of few clean and authentic spicy restaurant. Not those fake Chinese staff. Compaeable to the downtown Salad King, but.in a Chinese way. Large portion, and good for family gather up. Some order tips, if the picture is good order it. recommend try some Buns and their sausages.

This is some of the most authentic Sichuan food I have had in the GTA - truly a taste of home at very reasonable prices. Must try the homemade spicy sausages!

The first time I went there was almost 10 years ago. At that time, their boiled fish and beef noodles were really amazing. If you want to eat Sichuan food from now on, this restaurant will definitely be your first choice. In recent years, many new products have been released one after another, and the taste has always been very authentic. I have been to many other Sichuan restaurants in Toronto, but none of them were as comfortable as this one. Worth recommending

Pure Sichuan cuisine, I will eat it every time I go back to Toronto. I have been eating beef noodles for more than ten years and have endless aftertaste. Highly recommended.

Very traditional Sichuan flavor. The best I cound found in North York. You really ned to come early to avoid long waiting

Has been a customer for the resturant since the beginning. The quality of food has been consistenly high. Thats why it survived so many years, while many other resturants around same time closed down. My personal favourite dishes are: Spicy popcorn chicken, famous beef noodle soup.

This is the most authentic Sichuan food I had in North America

The service attitude is very good, the food is served very quickly, and the dishes are many and delicious. It can be seen that the store is very attentive to its operation. I always come here when my friends and I want to eat Sichuan food. We have almost eaten the entire menu. It is a restaurant worth visiting.

My favorite restaurant. The Sichuan cuisine is super authentic! ! ! ! I really like Sichuan sausage. I have been coming here for almost two years, eating it from high school to college. Crazy call for Malatang!

Ive been coming to this restaurant for over 10 years now and absolutely love the food here. The dishes are authentic Chinese and tasteful. Highly recommend to anyone who favors local szechuan/chongqing cuisine.

Good

The best Szechuan cuisine in GTA. Very delicious Szechuan cuisine restaurant

My friend took me there while I was in Toronto visiting. Super authentic Sichuan food. A bit spicy but flavourful. Good to know the owner is from my hometown.

The most authentic Sichuan cuisine in Toronto, good quality at low prices and great service!

tasty

We dined here after craving for some Sichuan cuisine. What we got were spiced pot squid, chicken stir fried with dried chilli, beans stir fried with garlic, chicken grizzards and sweet & sour fish. Since it s Sichuan cuisine, we were prepared for a spicy meal with various kind of pepper based dishes, which were indeed what we ate and were pleased with. We recommend pairing those spicy dishes with the sweet & sour fish and rice, so as to have a very balanced burst of flavours in your mouth. Now the reason behind why only 3 stars despite an excellent meal, is that the bill of the dinner was not reflective of the portion size that we had received. Besides, our dishes were generally simple and nothing too sophisticated like some fresh Alaskan King Crabs and the ambience of this place does not seem to be reflective of the high prices too.

The taste and service are good but the price is quite high.

I have eaten it for many years and it has always been good.

Good service and good food. The staff are friendly and attentive. The only drawback is that they dont accept credit card.

Good spicy food

Terrible food, noodle not cooked enough, fish is over frozen, taste like tofu instead of fish, terrible taste, to much preservatives. Well not go again

Good old place.

Its delicious. I like their twice-cooked pork and steamed pork ribs. The enoki mushrooms and cucumbers are very refreshing, and the sausages are also delicious. like

First time trying this place. Had the chongqing special noodles which were super tasty with a numbing spice. Didn t realize you could/had to add a meat to the dish, but they let me add it in after the fact. Only issue was their staff don t speak or understand much English so asking questions about the menu was very challenging. But the staff was patient with us so it all worked out.

The taste is very good and not too spicy. It is suitable for southerners like me. The business in the store is pretty good, the decoration is average, there are many waiters and staff, and the food is served very quickly. I like their pork loin very crispy and very good. Eat, I will come here often when I have time~

The music in the store is too loud and complicated, which affects your appetite, and the sound system itself is not very good. Is it enough to listen to it even before you have finished your meal?

The Malatang is spicy enough to be authentic, and the service is good. They have unexpectedly generous portion which I really love. In terms of taste it s spicy enough but not really that tasteful. Hope they can improve on that.

We had the spicy fish soup, the popcorn chicken, the sliced beef and tripe and the dan dan noodles. Best in Toronto. The fish soup was great. Appropriately numbing.

Hoof flower soup and kidney flowers are delicious

Not as spicy as expected, very delicious

The food is salty and cannot be swallowed. On the afternoon of September 23, a group of three friends, we ordered four dishes: Mao Xuewang, fuqifeipian , huiguorou and ganguosquid, except for squid, others are very salty and difficult to swallow and leaving about half, and later we ordered two bowls of noodles one xiaomian, one dandanmian which were still salty and basically did not eat.

The quantity is really small! Don t order fish-flavored eggplant! Their fish-flavored eggplant only has eggplant with some spicy oil? Gone! Im afraid I wont even use this amount of eggplant. The cut is as big as the mouth of a tea cup. Its like the waitress owes her money .

The beef noodle is terrible. It has a stinky smell.

The attitude of the boss is extremely bad. Three children made a lot of noise in the restaurant and the boss and the unqualified parents turned a blind eye. It was a very unpleasant dining experience. I will never go there again.

A little disappointed the second time. Still the same old problem. The hot and sour rice noodles themselves are not elastic. There was also a stir-fry dish that wasnt very tasty.

Best Sichuan cuisine Ive had in trt. Good price as well.

Fast service, amazing food. Had the beef slices in chili oil soup and dumplings in chili oil. My taste buds had no idea what was going on. It was spicy flavourful not spicy hot. The beef slices came in a bowl with so much other stuff, leeks I think and bean sprouts and tons of Chilis. So much yum in the bowl. Flavours I have never had before. For a soup to not have a spoon but a strainer was interesting but I guess its just something that I have no clue about. The dumplings were very subtle, but the chili oil soup was just as subtle. Not fiery like the beef slices. Again spicy flavourful not hot. The aroma from the beef slices is something I have never smelled and is going to bring me back for sure. I loved it.

Let s not talk about how small the food is. The dishes were not cooked in the kitchen, so they dared to serve them without heating them in the microwave? ? ? Theres not even plain water. If you want to drink it, you have to depend on their mood? ? ?

My wife brought me there. First time this cuisine but actually really enjoyed. The service was decent so they must ve done some changes to staff. The only thing that would keep me away in the future is prices. We paid $60 for two for a dinner and I would say there are many other Chinese restaurants in the area that also serve good food for a lot less

Very nice. The house specialty was tasty as advertised. And not too spicy, just right.

Hot and expensive

It was delicious before, but now I dont know why it tastes wrong. Today, there was used toilet paper on the floor next to the table next to my meal. I ordered Sichuan jelly, but it was so soft that I couldnt pick it up. I asked the waiter for a spoon and told me, Can you wait a while? Wait until I finish wiping the table... Originally, it was very convenient because it was close to home, but now I would rather go there. I won t come to a place farther away.

Second time there. Had the beef noodle soup, sweet potato noodle soup and the amazing wonton in hot chili oil. The beef soup was great, nice thick noodles lots of tender beef and while not as hot Spicy as I am accustomed to, very flavourful. The sweet potato soup was a bit on the sour side and reminded me of kimchi. The glass noodles were nice. But the centrepiece was the wonton in hot chili oil. I will have that every time. The manager spoke to me after and said he would help me pick out something next time, which is appreciated as I do not read or speak Chinese. Thanks again for a great meal at a very reasonable price.

One of the better tasting sichuan food place around, but menu is getting expensive and now I seldomly eat here; there are some equally good places now in Markham area. The kitchen here is not very clean, had some unpleasant incidents before.

Very good SIChuan place in the area. Just go

Delicious food, good portions, fast service.

I think they have a new boss or a new chef. The food tested different. Maybe the boss or the chef has changed. At first, the taste was very authentic Chongqing and Sichuan cuisine, very spicy and delicious! If you go there again, you will be in oblivion of everyone, there will no longer be that kind of authenticity. In the words of a good friend, the spiciness in the soul is gone, or the dish has no soul. It has become the kind of pot of Maoxuewang that can be bought casually on the street in China for ten or twenty yuan. They think it is Maoxuewang. What a pity. I drove 100 kilometers here and only tasted this kind of food. Can anyone tell me the contact information of the original chef? We have something important to discuss!

Amazing sichuan dishes and fast service

I highly recommend their Yibin noodles, which are delicious and authentic Sichuan cuisine. The boss is also very nice, and is the first choice for spicy food. The portions are generous, and a big pot of pickled fish is scary

Had fried rice. Flavour was bland. Not good experience

Operation Disc is complete!

A restaurant I often come to. The owner is from Chongqing. The taste is quite authentic Sichuan flavor. The most special thing is the sausage. It should be a unique flavor in Sichuan restaurants in Toronto. Highly recommended.

The most authentic Sichuan restaurant in Toronto

Authentic Chinese food. Fairly priced with decent service. Highly recommend

Food was amazing!!!!!. Manager and staff were so friendly.
