Spice And Aroma

My go-to mala tang or bang place. Relatively cleaner than other chinese places. Friendly staff. The presentation is much better when you eat at the restaurant. You can ask for extra spice sauce if you aren’t satisfied. Love this place.

Pick and choose what you want the kitchen to cook up for you. Nice selection of vegetables and good choices of meat additions. Broth has always been flavourful to me. Service fast enough for lunch hour.Food: 5/5

Spicy and delicious affordable food. The staff were super sweet as well!Food: 5/5

pretty good, around 25 per bowl though. need non single use utensils.

This is 100% Hands-Down my most visited restaurant in Toronto; actually ever right now. The quality of food is always amazing, it's always the perfect meal and the price is always good. For everyone who hasn't tried this place yet, you choose what you want for the bowl that day, they weigh it and charge you accordingly. So if you're not hungry that day, your bowl could cost you 5$. If you're hungry or splitting a huge bowl, it could cost you 13$ and feed 2 people. *I always recommend getting your own bowl, it's just that good* If you want to try something new, do yourself a favour and come here. You will not regret it.

Very impressed! The food is very spicy, the service is quick, and the staff is very friendly. I was asked if this was my first time visiting and was given an introduction to malatang and instructions on choosing my ingredients. I'll definitely be returning.Food: 5/5

I love this place. A must to visit if you are in the area and need to fill your bellies with a hot and spicy noodle. Did I mention you pay what you eat? Yeah you pay for the weight of your food and extra ingredients.

Delicious pick your own noodle restaurant. Staff was helpful, but I wish they would label all of the toppings.

MaLaTang is one of my most favorite Chinese dishes. Before we’ve travelled to Toronto, I have heard that there are so many MaLaTang restaurants there. Spicy & Aroma is one of the MaLaTang restaurants. It located at Spadina Ave Toronto China Town and only 15 mins away from the University of Toronto. The location is very easy to find and convenience for those Chinese Students who are studying at UofT. I’ve been to this restaurant on my 3rd day in Toronto. I arrived the restaurant right after the lunch time, so there are no many customers there. This restaurant is the same as Vancouver Yang Guo Fu MaLaTang that all the ingredients meat and vegetable are displayed on shelves. Customers can pick their desired ingredients into a bowl. Then, the shop will charge them based on the weight of the bowl. Differently, People can select their own level hotness during they order the food. The restaurant serves people different seasoned sauces, such as garlic, black pepper, Sichuan pepper, chili pepper, sesame paste and crushed peanuts, on their Ma La Tang. So, people don’t have to put those seasoned sauces by themselves. The MaLaTang I had, was very cheap. It was only $13. Everything in my bowl was well cooked. Taste of my food was very authentic. It was a great experience. I highly recommend people to go Spicy & Aroma.

The flavors are excellent and the prices are fair. Service was friendly and helpful.Food: 5/5
