I have been coming here since they first opened in Mississauga. My favourite is their tomato rice…read morenoodle soup with beef and enoki. They have generous toppings and there is free noodle refill. Their broth is very tasty and when I have extra to take home, they turn into a gelatinous broth which tells me it is a real bone broth rich in collagen. For a limited time, they give free soft serve ice cream at the end of the meal which completes my meal for under $20pp. Service is very quick. Even when it's busy, the table turnover is fast so you will get seated pretty soon. The restaurant is spacious and nicely decorated. It is also clean.

They were quite busy with takeout orders which I took as a good sign. We ordered the Beef Sirloin Noodles level spicy and numb(4/5), Breaded Shrimp (5/5) Seafood Fried Rice (4/5) and Lamb Skewers (4/5). Beef Sirloin Noodles were delicious. The broth itself was not overly salty compared to other places we've been to. I enjoyed the addition of peanuts to this dish for that extra crunchy texture and nutty taste. The noodles were cooked perfectly. They were bouncy and chewy. The beef itself was good. Some were a tad bit chewy. I wish there was more bok choy. We'd also opt for extra spicy and extra numb next time. Breaded Shrimp was enjoyable. You can't go wrong with this dish. It was crispy, and the batter to shrimp ratio was decent. Seafood Fried Rice was good as well. Again, we liked how it wasn't overly salty. We were able to sense the taste of the seafood. I wish they added more scallops since we only got two pieces in the whole dish. Lamb Skewers were satisfying flavour-wise. We really liked the seasoning on them. It was on the chewier side but it was manageable. We'd like to try their other skewer options next time. Overall, such a good spot for affordable and delicious food. I'm glad my family recommended this place. I'd like to point out that a customer was being problematically entitled and rude yet the female server stayed professional. I thought she handled the situation quite calmly which I wanna commend her for. P.S. The restaurant has a sign on their door saying not to bring pets inside. So please read this and try not to bring your pet inside to avoid looking entitled and rude.

However, they try them all the time everywhere so I would recommend this for people that come here. I, on the other hand, try different things and its hit or miss. This time around I had the lamb skewers (good and have ordered before), beef skewers (ok), chicken joints (good), pork intestines (ok but large portion), chicken leg with chili sauce (good and have ordered before), and salt and pepper porkchop (huge portion but very disappointing). Love the fact that you can look at the menu online and can order directly through the app with English translation with pictures. Staff were friendly. Typical chinese family restaurant service. Location has been around for awhile and is getting run down looking. Would be great if they could renovate but I understand that is expensive and may not impact their business.

Recently in the area helping my daughter move into Mac U and found this nearby restaurant for…read morelunch. After reading some reviews, I almost changed my mind from coming. We were quite impressed with the food here...it's actually very authentic northern style Chinese food. If you are not familiar with the food in this region, I can see why some people had negative comments. My advice to you if you are not familiar with some of their menu items, order the fried rice/noodles and fried dumplings and not items like chicken with ginger & scallion sauce. The latter dish is actually a popular Chinese chicken dish that is not commonly offered in Chinese westernized restaurants. I did see a photo of this dish on google soaking in oil which doesn't look too appealing so I would request for the ginger onion oil sauce on the side (maybe it's prepared in Northern style?). I will definitely try it on my next visit. We got the shrimp fried rice and beef brisket udon in beef bone soup. Both dishes were good and I was surprised that there were quite a few large shrimps in the rice. The soup base was a bit bland but the beef brisket was tender and flavourful. Highly recommend this dish if you are looking for comfort food. Make sure you ask for their chilli sauce which is great for the beef brisket! My favourite dish was #519 fried tofu...this was perfectly done and I requested the sauce to be on the side. The best way to eat fried tofu is to dip the hot crispy tofu with a bit of the sauce! The pan fried dumplings were only okay but they did serve it well with vinegar sauce! I will definitely be coming back on my visits to MAC U.

Very odd that they split into two versions of the app for two parts of the menu. They have a robot that delivers food to your table at times. They don't use if for everything though. Service was ok.

Ordered take-out from Xin Xin BBQ a couple weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised! My last review…read morefor it was mediocre, mostly attributed to the long wait times, but I avoided this issue with a prescheduled delivery from UberEats. The food was delicious and the portions generous! We ordered a variety of dishes - smoked pork trotter, beef lungs in chili sauce (fuqi feipian), dry fried string beans, spicy dry fried pork intestines, saute spicy chicken with noodle (da pan ji), cumin lamb, and braised beef noodles. Everything was great, and my favourites were the fried pork intestines (super crispy with no aftertaste at all), cumin lamb (very fragrant and rich in flavour, fatty and gamey all at once - just be careful of biting into one of those hidden jalapenos among the sweet peppers), braised beef noodles (a classic), and fuqi feipian (a really large serving for ~$8, filled with tripe and flank). My least favourite (only marginally so) was the smoked pork trotter; since it was served cold, the texture was very rubbery but when reheated, the flavour is much more palatable. The portions were SUPER generous - the saute chicken came with two styrofoam cups of sauce, enough to last us the meal and another more with additional noodles. We also had enough leftovers to last us two meals (lunch and dinner) the other day. Will definitely order more from Xin Xin in the months to come, particularly as Ontario moves into another stage of lockdown. A great place for Northern Chinese food!

This was a very mediocre experience overall. I came on Saturday around mid-morning, and the…read morerestaurant was half full. As we were a party of 2, we were seated and given menus promptly. To order, we wrote down what we wanted on provided slips of paper. We ordered saliva chicken, pan fried bao, braised beef noodle soup, and Dan Dan noodles. The good: the braised beef noodle soup had noodles that were obviously freshly made by hand. The noodles were thick and chewy, and the soup was rich and flavorful without being too salty. The mediocre: saliva chicken was underseasoned and needed 75% more sauce, 25% more salt, and 200% more chili. Contrary to what the name implies, it did not make me salivate. Not. One. Bit. The dandan noodles were also disappointing. I was expecting a noodle with less soup and a lot of chili oil, but this was less spicy than a junior chicken from McDonald's. Again, more salt would have brought out some of its flavors. The final disappointment were the pan fried bao. It bears the same name as the soupy, crispy, Shanghainese breakfast food, but it was anything but satisfying for my nostalgia. Instead of thin-skinned, soupy buns, I got thick, fluffy buns. They were alright in flavor, but the name was super misleading. The bad: the tea tasted awful. Maybe the teapot was freshly washed, or the water was meant to clean pots. Either way, it tasted like detergent. For my own health, I had to ask for ice water. While the food and service didn't kill me, I probably wouldn't come back. There are better options in the area.

Whenever my boyfriend and I feel like having affordable but delicious Chinese food, we always go to…read moreMom's Pan Fried Bun. We've been to this location several times. This location is on the small side and the seating is quite limited. That said, whenever we come here Sunday afternoons, we never have trouble getting tables during walk-ins. The staff is always attentive and we never have to wait for much long for the food to come. They always ask you if you want water or tea. Usually also get a bowl of seaweed soup with your order (per person) though this time around we didn't get any. We ordered a lot for dinner. For appetizers, we ordered the braised pork pan-fried buns, which were amazing. The bun was really fluffy, and the filling was flavourful and just the right amount of juicy. We also had chive pork dumplings. These were also good, though I admit I prefer the pan-fried ones. In particular, our dumplings came out kind of gummy. We had some scallion pancakes which were nice and crispy, and very flavourful. Then, some dried beancurd sticks that were just the right amount of spiciness. Do keep in mind the beancurd sticks are cold (it surprised me the first time I had it). Finally, we had some honey garlic chicken wings. They fry their chicken wings really well, and they don't overdo the sauce which is great. We did have trouble fitting all of this on the table since we ordered so much. We managed, but just keep this in mind if you like to order a lot of appetizers. We each ordered a main. My boyfriend had the lemongrass chicken with egg on rice, which he enjoyed. I also enjoyed my Taiwanese braised pork. My pork dish was amazing and they cooked the egg really well. The portions here are very generous, and because it's affordable, I always recommend dropping by for some good Chinese food.

So I've tried their Downtown and Markham location before and decided to come try this location…read moresince we were around the area. The space here is definitely smaller but seating was still very comfortable. Ordering is done via QR code through phone. The staff was friendly and service was quick and prompt. I do want to say that their pricing is very fair and reasonable. There is also free parking in front of the restaurant. I was missing my time in Taiwan so I ordered the Taiwanese Braised Pork and Egg on rice. We also ordered Pumpkin Pie with Red Bean Filling, stir-fried rice noodles with bean sprouts, Juicy Chinese Pork Burger, and their Juicy Cheese Beef Burger. Everything was quite good especially the Chinese Pork Burger. The outer shell was so crispy and the pork meat was so juicy and was seasoned just right. The Taiwanese Braised Pork rice was good but definitely not as good as in Taiwan lol. Also, if coming here, you have to try their signature pan fried buns. That is what they are known for. We didn't order it this time because we've had it a bunch of times already. Overall, this restaurant always hits. It's not the most amazing food but like the name suggest, It is very home style comfort food.
