Hotopia Richmond Hill

Spicy food and big portions. Can’t finish and take home to eat for another two days. Very good taste but mainly deep fried and oily. In the restaurant is smoky environment a bit feel like eating by the kitchen. Over all it has good value but more for family or close friends get together for eatery.

Ordered spicy meat lover and steamed rice. The meat lover was good, not great just good to satisfy the occasional cravings for spicy food. Steamed rice didn’t taste very fresh which is a shame. Because fresh steam rice always makes the perfect pairing for spicy Chinese food. The portion was really big. I thought $31 was expensive for a single dish but it was enough for 4 meals for me! Service isn’t much for the place. You have to order on your phone by scanning a code. Also the take out container is so not suitable for their food! It wasn’t large enough to fit the left over. Also they shouldn’t give out regular take away containers for something soupy… as you can imagine the red sauce spilled all over the plastic bag this was worth a one time experience but I probably will try another place next time I have cravings for spicy Chinese food.

Busy plaza always & it’s hard to find parking all the times, especially lunch & dinner hours, Good customer service. Staff was attentive & friendly. Food served hot and quick. Portion was very generous if you like spicy food this place is a must try! Loved their spicy & sour fish soup. Will visit again !

Spicy Chinese food lovers unite here! Hotopia serves up contemporary modern Szechuan cuisine at multiple GTA locations. We came to dine at their Hwy 7 location before it got packed. We were not disappointed by the delicious spicy dishes: 1 Marrying Four is an absolutely massive dish. Diverse meat offerings are mixed within a heaping mountain of red hot chili peppers. Pork rib, beef sirloin, lamb cube and sautéed shrimp harmonize pleasantly as well-seasoned, tender & fatty bites. Add lotus root for crunchiness. This dish is for those that enjoy hot flavours! A spicy kick is intensified by chili oil & pepper seeds on the tasty items. 2 Beef in Chili Sauce is a traditional Szechuan dish comprising of tender beef slices & ox tripes. Mix in with the generous portion of chili oil, sesame seeds, crushed peanuts & cilantro. Despite its appearance, the dish is more aromatic rather than being as spicy or mouth-numbing. We had rice bowls on hand for these spicy flavours. Fun to try some unapologetically spicy food to excite the taste buds. Large portions, affordable menu, and plenty of leftovers after denting our dishes.

We came here on a weekend afternoon and there were tables available, so we were seated relatively fast. This is the first place that I have been with a temperature measuring machine at the front entrance. Food was delicious and spicy. We ordered the dry pot as well as a fish with preserved vegetables soup. They have a wide screen TV playing Asian music so it feels like a karaoke. Overall great experience and I will be back.

Maybe a 4.5 stars in my opinion - I’ve really enjoyed their Meat Lover Mala Pot, about $32 cash and a HUGE portion! I’ve been able to feast on this for 2 to 3 meals easily, so really great value. Nothing to complain about regarding their food and quality - good level of spicy!

A bit dissapointed in the billing as it was not the same as website for the Tomato and Egg dish. This dish was tasty but a bit watery due to the tomato,portion size was good. They charged $15 but website says $12? Can get the same with rice included elsewhere for under$10.00. The Steamed Clams were very good, and a good portion. Staff was polite and advised me that the website was not updated. Take out at 12pm on a thursday was fast. Was recommended to me by my Chengdu neighbour. The billing is an issue for me though.

The taste is alright. If you are craving spicy/sichuanese, it will be enough for a temporary fix, but not a place that I would go back again and again. I found the portions to be good, it was a huge tub of spicy stew, with fish, luncheon meat, duck blood curds, tripe, pork intestine, glass noodles and so on — just that none of the ingredients soaked up the flavour as I had expected.

They ask you to scan and order by yourself and you have to put down your correct phone number to begin order since there is a two step verification code. So ridiculous and food quality are poor. Never visit again. We need privacy.

Got surprised a Sichuan restaurant has very good grapefruit drinkwith everspring tea. There is no private dining room for bigger group. Food looks clean and Service is quick. Overall ok experience.
