    New restaurant in downtown Hamilton.
    Peter M.

    When I first went to Szechuan Szechuan - the one at Vaughan Mills, years ago, I really like the Spicy Beef Noodle soup. The braised beef drenched in a spicy broth with the thick noodle and star-anise spice. Though I have had many different renditions of it, nothing quite topped it. I know many of you will argue that there are better places, and I agree but tastebuds are individual. Not that I would go all the way to Hamilton for a $9 bowl of noodle but I really like their offerings. Szechuan Noodle Bowl was recommended as a place to grab a bite before the long haul back to Richmond Hill. It was supposed to be a relatively new establishment. The group of 10 walked into the place. It is surprisingly large inside with very cool mural to the right and radial cut tree trunks to the left. Hardwood floor planks also made up the wall structure. The hostesses handed us some menus, then off they went rearranged their shop to accommodate a late night hungry band of foodies. Basically everyone of us wanted to try the various noodles. They offer to customize the spiciness of their noodle soups. Something I hear a lot is "spicy is not really spicy." This is totally subjective and each diner will have to meter things on their own. The majority of the us got some form of the spicy beef noodle. Whether it was handmade noodle, hand-cut noodle, vermicelli, etc, it was all in some for of spicy broth. I chose the standard item as I didn't want to try and mix and match the spices. I had the braised beef noodle with bamboo. I have to admit, I really enjoyed the whole dish. The braised beef was rendered properly, the bamboo was delicious, noodle was appropriate for the dish, and the broth was enjoyable to the last drop. The others had issues with the spice levels. Many dishes came out medium spicy - the norm, when most ordered the high heat. They offered to add more spices, but most opted to just have their meals. Some of the diners were left disappointed. For me, it was a nice meal. Not a come back to Hamilton cause I need my noodle fix kind of meal though! If there was one like it nearby, I'd definitely would try it. Place reminds me of Magic Noodle - before it went kinda downhill. A respectable 3.5 stars - could have been better if they had quality control at the pass. Cheers.

    Best Szechuan food ever! If you're looking for a good place to slurp a good hand-made noodle soup or dish, this is the place to be. Great food and the price is right. A party of 3, we had the hand-made spicy beef noodle, clam with rice noodles, mapo beancurd and eggplant. The spicy beef noodle was packed with flavor and the heat was perfect! The mapo beancurd and eggplant paired well with steamed white rice. A place worth visiting over and over! The lady who served our table was courteous and very attentive. The place is clean and the bathrooms are well managed.

    Don't get me wrong. The food here is great. The noodles are fresh, and I like how they have decent amount of meat and vegetables mixed in. The individual dishes of vegetables etc are also very tasty. So much so that I wish there were more of it. But then, just coming back from the USA where the restaurants were very generous with their portions, I guess I will have to readjust to the portions here. Why 2 stars. Well, service is important to me. There is a lady who seemed to be the manager there. She is great and approachable. But the couple of times I have been there, the guys who worked there were not very friendly at all. First time I was there with a large group of friends, they couldn't get the orders right. One time when I was there with my sister, we were served by Mr. Man-bun. We asked if he could speak English since I could barely speak Chinese and my sister none, and he said no. So we struggled with my very limited chinese to asked some questions on the menu and ordered what we wanted. But then moments later we caught him speaking English to another table. So it's ok to go there if: 1. You are a non-chinese speaker 2. You are fluent in chinese 3. If you are lucky enough to be served by the lady. Great food, but that's about it for me. I think there is great potential for this restaurant, but they need to train their staff how to service their customers.

    So my wife and sister in law were in the mood for some good Chinese and we googled and found this place. During the week evenings, the parking out front are free, so to start, parking isn't easy. Once you get inside, you are greeted to a pretty neat wall art. The staff was nice and the place was fairly clean. But onto the food, there was a lot to choose from, we ended up trying their handmade noodles, the beef and vegetable fried rice and the Kung pow chicken. The great dish goes to their Hand Made noodles, those were awesome and will definitely be back for those. The next dish the beef and vegetable dish and the fried rice. Had some pretty good flavors to it, but nothing to really call out good or bad. Their style of Kung Pow Chicken just wasn't a flavour neither of us enjoyed. Was very strong, like bitter strong. Was our cup of tea. It wasn't bad in terms of bad for you, but it's a taste I think you tastebuds would have to be use to. Reminds me of the bitter melon taste, which I know some of my friends actually like. Well, I'll definitely be back there for when I'm in the mood for noodles.

    The office is only for Mississauga location.

    It is so delicious, the taste as similar as I did in Hong Kong and China. Nice staff with good hospitality service. Amazing experience.

    Noodles and dumplings is a diamond in the rough. Situated in Downtown Hamilton the restaurant is…read moreextremely small giving an almost street food ambiance as best it can. Seating for about 8 -10 people. This particular day I ordered the Wonton Noodle Soup. A massive bowl of fresh hand made noodle and fresh wontons in a delectable broth. This broth was not hot chili wise as some other soups they offer with naked thus place unique. Each bowl is crafted with a different taste and being a small place the chef is visible to see! The attention to detail in every bowl is amazing as he takes time to perfect each to be a perfect presentation. Very hawker/street style! No need to go to Toronto it's all right here. The hours are limited during the week and more flexible on weekend as the there is only one guy (the chef) and a counter person. highly impressed highly recommend

However if you're looking for absolutely authentic noodles and dumplings served up steaming hot with the sweetest owners then go ahead and pay them a visit. Everything was so inexpensive for the portion size! The beef noodle soup was heaven in a bowl and we loved the pork wontons both steamed and fried. Lots of street parking close by but be warned there is not much seating and it's super cold if you sit by the door as there's lots of people going in and out. Seriously incredible stuff

    Hand pulled noodles are my new thing so Noodle Me has been on my to-try list. We started with…read moreseaweed salad and a chili potato salad. I preferred the seaweed, which was pretty delicious actually. We also ordered the beef brisket noodle soup, a stir fry noodle dish with pork, and buns. The soup was delicious - great flavor, noodles were amazing as expected. The brisket was tasty but difficult to eat because you had to chew for a long long time, long enough to swallow, if that makes sense. I just let my husband eat all of the beef after my one bite. The pork dish was good too but the flavors didn't wow me. Maybe I should have ordered something spicier - although adding the chili spice helped a lot. The soup buns (5 buns/order) were amazing - super hot (temperature wise) and very tasty. We were almost too full to finish them. All ingredients seemed super fresh. Always cool to see the noodles being made - just be prepared for loud noises, especially if you have your back turned away from the counter. I guess other hand pulled noodle places I've been to there's some sort of separation or glassed in area to see them being pulled, but when the dough gets slammed onto the counter it's quite loud. I would bet each batch has at least 3 slams? I'm sure it's to get the air pockets out and is necessary - I just wonder if there's a sound barrier type option or maybe some funny sign warning or heads up from the waitstaff? We can't wait to try something else from Noodle Me!

    What a smart marketing catch to grab those noodling craving urges…read more Well, doing a bit of searching for dinner and found Noodle Me. Let's get in to ... first, off currently Aug 2019, there is construction on the roads around the strip that Noodle Me is within, so it took us a while just to get in to the parking lot. Then we noticed there isn't a whole lot of parking. Maybe some across the street. But keep that in mind if you are driving over. Once we got in, the place is a nice small place. Does have lots of sitting, but slightly packed to fill more people. The staff was very friendly and the menu had nice photos for some of their meals to entice the new comers. So myself, my wife and my sister in law went in new. Ordered the wonton soup, combo lo-mein and their steam buns (thought they were dumplings). - The Wonton soup brother was very good. Noodles, not really anything to overly rave about and wontons were plenty. So an overall good dish. - The Combo Lo-Mein, was quite good. Enjoyed the noodles and a good variety of meat and vegetables. The odd part, wasn't exactly mixed up. Noodles on one side, veggies on a another side and meat. A bit of work to mix it all. So that assumes that all of it was not fully cooked together, which I feel helps to get more of the flavour across all of the ingredients, but to each their own. - and the Steam Buns, those were quite good. The dough was pretty thick for the small appetizers But a good overall. I will say the overall flavour is good and wouldn't hesitate to visit again if I'm in the area, but wouldn't drive across the city for it.

The prices were a big higher than expected, but a little cheaper given we ordered lunch menu items. The portion of the pad see ew was quite big but unfortunately was quite salty and didn't have the expected flavour. The Khao soi had a nice coconut flavour but the amount of noodles was inproportionate to the amount of soup. Happy to see a Thai restaurant in Hamilton but the meal left us lacking.

He ran in to pick it up, as we temporarily parked semi-illegally to wait in the cold, very busy streets of Hamilton. I wasn't able to go in and check out the ambiance of the place, but I imagine it's cool. We got it, picked up the pizza and got it back to his place. This was for New Year's Eve. I tasted the curry on its own. Delicious. I basically poured the rice into the bowl and stirred it around. And I proceeded to eat it in silence, ignoring everyone around me as I ate the best curry of my life. He asked if I liked it, so I nodded and kept eating. I suggested that I wanted a pill or something that delayed my fullness so I could eat like 5 orders of it, because it's so good. Massaman Curry with Braised Beef 11/10
