38 Best Chinese Restaurants in Hamilton

“Amazing dining experience! Two people, lunch buffet. Upper James, Hamilton, ON. CAD $26, plus a senior's discount of 20%. Great value. Wonderful selections of appetizers, entrees, and desserts, including sushi and sashimi. Great taste. Great service. Hot hand towels before and after the meal is a nice touch. Clean washrooms. Can't beat the Mandarin restaurant for an overall great dining experience.“

“I got the szchenuan rice, orange chicken and spring rolls. The food was great. Some of the chicken piece in the orange chicken were just batter but the sauce was great! Paired well the the szchenuan rice.
The next time I want some Chinese place this will be a place worth considering.“

“The food here is always awesome. The handmade noodles (la mein), the cumin beef, the vegetable soup, the mapo doufu (Mrs Po's Tofu/Pockmarked lady bean curd, a dish that has history of several hundred years from Chengdu), the Sichuan (Chinese spelling of Szechuan) noodles, ...

If you don't mind some flavor, there's not much you can go wrong with at this shop. One other person has mentioned the food is greasy. That's not accurate. A lot of it's oily, not greasy. It's Sichuan food, and that's normal for Sichuan food; it allows the flavor to spread throughout the food.

The beef cuts they use are catered more for an Asian taste. They're chewy and fatty so as to impart the most amount of flavor.

I've been going to this place regularly since it opened because it's right next door to our office. I've never once had a visit where I had to wait a long time for food. The other fellow that had to wait a long time for food must have just hit them on a really bad day or something. The longest I've had to wait is 15 to 20 minutes, and that was on a super busy day before covid hit for the pineapple fried rice.

They also have another location on Dundas just east of Hurontario. Hamilton is their second location.

This shop is in my top three Chinese restaurants in Hamilton, and quite possibly my number one. My favorite dish here is the dumplings and chili oil. BEST DUMPLINGS EVER!

Added picture of pot stickers...they were so good, I didn't think to take a picture until they were almost gone!“

“Amazing customer service - ordered and employee on the phone gave me a total- then called me before the order was delivered that he unfortunately messed up the bill and apologized- what he did was charge me twice for the same item - he was calling to Lower my bill- thank you for your honesty“

“Very good fresh made food, very hospitable. Try the curry chicken with naan“

“Great food, great prices and great service. I highly recommend you try this place!“

“As someone not from Jiangxi, I was thrilled to discover Spicy King offering genuine Jiangxi cuisine in Toronto. The Nanchang-style spicy fried pork was incredibly fragrant and flavorful. My partner, who hails from Jiangxi, confirmed its authenticity—high praise indeed! Surprisingly, this dish isn’t even among the restaurant’s top ten, which only piques my curiosity to explore more of their menu. We also tried the Nanchang-style pork fried rice noodles, which were equally aromatic and satisfying.“

“Great Pad Thai, fresh spring rolls, new ownership that has the right setup. Give it a try if in Stoney Creek area!“

“I ordered a combo for one #3 for take out. The meal was delicious. The portions were very generous. The chicken with vegetables &almonds was so fresh, and cooked to perfection, with the perfect crunch,not at all soggy like other places I've eaten.
The young man behind the counter, taking orders in person and over the phone , was very pleasant with all his interactions.
The order took no time at all.
I will be returning to this restaurant again.
I highly recommend EAST WOK.“

“Authentic, fresh, and spicy Sichuan food with lots of veggies, served by a gracious and knowledgeable owner.“

“Absolutely amazing food and excellent customer service, I wish they had a Mr.dumpling in Kitchener,“

“Decided to try this place out for dinner with the family tonight and this review couldn’t wait another minute. This was by far the best chinese food I have had EVER, our favourite chinese restaurant just closed down but honestly this doesn’t even compare. Their General TSO’s chicken is the most amazing I have ever put on this palate and I strongly recommend, broccoli cooked perfectly and everything else we tried was just delicious, definitely try this place out, deserves more than 5 stars!“

“Amazing food , always order in but each time it’s always delicious. The best wonton soup in town 8 wontons for the price of 4 at regular restaurants. Unfortunately even though they are open til 11 I can’t order through Skip as it says they are closed and their phone number won’t work so I can’t even get an order placed so we go to South City which actually still delivers without having a delivery app. South city is just as amazing luckily. It’s only 8pm on a Saturday night how can they not be taking orders still?“

“Been ordering from here for years. Food is always hot and delivery is quick.. Always pleasant on the phone. No complaints here... 👌“

“1st visit…. Services was quick… food was HOT, fresh and portions were wonderful We are new to Hamilton and this is now our go too Chinese food take out Thank you we also like how you pack the orders … The Lang Family“

“Ordered For the first time tonight at 4:30 and the food was fantastic. If I had to be critical I would say cook those delicious veg for less time for that snappy crunch and crisp up those chicken balls a tiny bit more. Deeelicious! Good job guys. I will definitely order again.“

“Food has been just as good for the last 20 years and service has also been great!“

“Great price for great food. Pork and chive dumplings were definitely the star of the show! My gf got the beef soup and said it was amazing! I had the pork belly soup and felt it was a little tough, but still delicious! Will DEFINITELY be back!“

“Thankful to have this take out spot so conveniently located. Delicious congee, Cantonese chow mein and pan fried noodles. Will be back.

Parking: A few spots at the back of the building, but it is all that is needed since this is a grab and go place“

“My date and I went in thinking they might have coffee but it’s more of a Korean tea lounge. I tried the Hokkaido milk tea and liked it ?. My friend had the peach tea but misunderstood and thought it would be like a western tea but she liked it still“

“We expected a party of approx 20 people on Jan 24/26 but due to the weather we had 3 people that flew out early from Pearson to Logan Airport and around 4 went home immediaely after the 'due' because they were from out of town. That left 13 of us. Since we had reserved, we still had a round table for 13 in the back of the restaurant. We decided to go with a family style format and actually ordered way too much food. The portions were large and tasty, from the egg rolls + spring rolls to a variety of dishes that satisfied everyone. We were extremely well looked after despite the restaurant getting busier. We were happy to see other parties in and out as January is very slow in the restaurant business. I dealt with someone on 3 occasions before we arrived and he assured me he woud make our dinner worth while. And he did. We ended up with one extra at the table designated for a comfortable 12 and that was okay. We also had our beloved SIL in a wheelchair to boot. We thought that would not be possible when we were expecting 20. Needles to say, we were not rushed, our food was excellent, we had good conversation around a round table and to add,.....it was a great experience. If ANYTHING, the room we were in could actual benefit from adding material or whatever on the walls, ceiling in order to cut way back on the noise. The table for 12 was far better than having 13 seated in a long table but noise barriers would help 100%. Thank you DRAGON COURT for an excellent experience You were recommeded by one of the folks who was at our table and did not disappoint.“

“I bumped into this place while shopping at the Farmers Market. I decided to order a classic tuna crepe and a passion fruit mango juice. The drink was really refreshing but I only tasted the passion fruit which was fine. The crepe was delightful. I like it had a crunchy and soft texture. I like the cheese in it too. I will try a different crepe for next time.“

“First time I've ordered food from this store it was recommended to me. I should not have taken recommendation because the food was second rate, chicken fried rice was awful beef with vegetables beef was really good however vegetables are undercooked the only good thing about this order was the spring rolls and the beef. I spent $43 for this delivery and I will never ever order food from this place again it was bloody awful because this i
I am put off Chinese food“

“My wife and I were regular customers of their restaurant from the late 1980's to the early 2000's. We have always enjoyed their food . We occasionally get takeout from them and still enjoy their great food . They still have a great menu and great specials.“

“Haven't ordered their food in a while. The combination plate prices haven't risen too extravagantly, pleasantly surprised! I ordered the #4 tonight (substituted the chicken fried rice for the pork), and the portions were great! Enough to put away for the next day. The only place I will order my Chinese food. Have been a customer ever since they opened several years back. One happy customer!“

“I have been wanting to come here for some time, since moving close by.Julian(I hope I spelt your name right) was the sweetest and super knowledgeable. She took the time to help me with picking proper items for my boyfriend that has allergies.Everything is made fresh and they even offer to bring your order out to your car when ready!Overall great service, great ppl and great food! I Will definitely be coming back!Thank youAmber :)

Parking: There is parking at the back.

Dietary restrictions: Very knowledgeable regarding options for allergies. Will explain ingredients in dishes!“

“We have been ordering from here for over 12 years. Consistently good food, friendly service and good portions!“

“Been looking for new go to for Chinese old place has went down hill quality has sank badly. One of my coworkers recommended you I’m glad he did the food was awesome the delivery guy was adorable gave him a decent tip and he was over the moon thanked me multiple times“

“We had the Saozi Beef noodles, the Beijing dumplings and Braised Chicken on Rice. The food was really flavourful and delicious with a homemade quality. The beef noodles dish is on the spicier side so if you have a low spice tolerance order with caution. The atmosphere accompanied the homemade quality of food with a home like environment. Our server was very kind, water is self serve which worked really well for us. The tip is included in your meal cost but very well deserved.“

“I go back to this old restaurant every year for gatherings with friends. Memories from when I first came to Canada~ There is no need for a menu when ordering food. Recommended cold dishes: tiger dish and intractable diseases; vegetarian dishes: stir-fried cabbage noodles and meat dishes: chicken pot and grilled skewers. good“

“An oasis in the desert! As a chef I was very happy with the flavour and freshness of the dishes. I transported the food home for 30 minutes and the 5 meat dishes were delicious, the Szechuan noodles and fried rice were first rate. Pleasantly surprised. 9/10“

“Very convenient and nice spot to grab a plate if you’re near by or just living in the neighborhood, food looks vibrant, eggroll is huge, tempuras are amazing here.
Most negative reviews feel like people who are just entitled, one is complaining about their DoorDash driver even though that has nothing to do with the restaurant, don’t think he’s smart enough to realize but that made me want to leave a review to justify this place“

“EXCELLENT. Ordered randomly being new to Hamilton - and it is the best Chinese food we have ever had. Generous serving size, piping hot and absolutely delicious! Will be our new "go to" and have already recommended to friends.“

“On this day 07/23/2025 about 4:00 P.M. we were at Cente Mall, dropped into the Food Court, we were both a bit hungry, wife got the consommé soup (it was piping hot and a nice tasty broth), I on the other hand went with the rice or chow Mein with (1) item for $11.59 + HST. I got the Sesame Chicken with the Chow Mein combined together. It was just plain Chow Mein, and Sesame Chicken was nicely batter with a sweet taste to the sauce that covered it. The food was tasty, but only thing preventing it giving it a 5 star rating, although the food looks heated and hot in their containers (stainless steel), the food was at best a tad warm? If this food was served hot, I would rate it higher. Nice friendly service on board, cheerfully serving the customers on their requests. Plenty of food served, I’ll have enough to take home and heat it up, to my expectations.“

“Ordered a shrimp fried rice, it was piping hot and ready in the time they stated when I called. This is a very simple dish, rice and shrimp. I didn't notice any vegetables or egg in the rice, egg would have been a nice touch, but nevertheless, the rice was flavourful not overly salty at all, the shrimp is cut up but there is a good amount of shrimp, not only what you see in the photo but there are also pieces under the rice, almost every bite of rice could have a bit of shrimp. The shrimp wasn't very seasoned but were plump, cooked perfectly and everything came together well. For $12 I am thourally satisfied. This is a simple take out place, but I would say very authentic, but I'm no expert!“

“I've been here many times at lunchtime on a workday and their food and service has always been great for me. I typically get the two-item plate with the noodles, broccoli, and General Tao Chicken and while the quality of each bite can vary a little bit, it is all within an acceptable range and at least as good, if not much better than most food court Chinese food. There seems to be a lot of disgruntled people in these reviews from a long time ago, so I don't know if things have changed for the better recently. Also, I don't know if the quality will go downhill later in the afternoon / evening as the food is kept warm for hours. My experience is limited to lunchtime on workdays, and I would definitely recommend it for people looking for lunch. I took away one star under atmosphere not for anything the restaurant did or didn't do but because it is Jackson square and it's tired.“

“We’ve ordered directly from Lucky Chinese, for delivery, a few times now. We are delighted with the phone service, the delivery service, the prices on the website match what they charge, and especially the food.
The food arrives hot, and delicious, the appearance and quality is excellent. We haven’t had chinese this good in years. We’ll keep ordering from Lucky Chinese. Please keep up the great job!“

“We've going to Shanghai for about 13 years now love the place but last night wow it was so busy I know it was family day but I think there was only one person working in the kitchen they told us it will be ready in 30 minutes an hour and half later it was ready but the food is excellent we'll be coming back.“
