Sparkle Northern Chinese Cuisine - Hamilton, Ontario

Great food and portions . Would definitely order from here again

I don't know why the low rating, I'm from Northern China and hubby is Italian and we both love this place. Food is well made, staff is friendly, and menu is big with pictures and restaurant is clean. Had Sweet & Sour Pork and Soy Eggplants today, both were awesome. ... Going to try something new every time until we make our way through the menu 😋 Price was good too, under $20/pp after tax and tip and we left very full. Read more

This restaurant used to be very authentic, but now the food is completely different and of poor quality. The eggplant dish (鱼香茄子) has basically no eggplant, just a bunch of starch, and does not taste at all like how it should. They substitute cold noodles (凉皮) in the "salad" with ... regular vermicelli as well. These are just some examples. Understandably these times have been hard on restaurants, but I would not order here again. Very disappointed. Hope they can go back to making authentic Chinese food again. Read more

The food from here is actually quite delicious and reasonably prices, but they definitely have problems with getting the orders completely accurate. We've ordered take out from here a bunch of times, and it's either taken a good deal of time to arrive or had a wrong item in it. When ... we got the food, however, it was generally quite delicious. I find that their portion sizes seem to have gotten better recently, not to mention the meat ratio in dishes has gotten better. Quite good value overall, but note that this is quite authentic (and oily) Northern Chinese food. Read more

I am completely blown away by how different my experience was than some of the people who previously posted reviews here. Actually in my mind this was not only an authentic Northern Chinese restaurant but the food was exceptional, and the service was very prompt. I would caveat the latter ... point by saying we went on a Thursday at 10pm so maybe the fact that the restaurant was not busy helped in terms of service. I am not willing to rubuke that this is authentic Northern Chinese and that the food was quite honestly amazing. Regardless of some of the more negative reviews here, I highly recommend you look past them and that you try this place, I think you are going to love it. We did, and we will be returning because honestly, the menu is like 30 pages long with so many good options you can't sample everything at once. Food pairs great with a cold Tsingtao. Read more
