| - First of all, I am Northern Chinese but I grew up in Canada. Almost a decade ago, I visited Toronto and went to a restaurant that was simply the best Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. Now that I am living in Toronto, I have been trying to discover this restaurant. A few months ago, I discovered this was Ten Mile Aroma.
I am writing this review to respond to surprisingly bad reviews I see on Yelp. I simply have no idea how this could have happened. I really hope there is some confusion or else I doubt these people have taste buds. Yes, I am right and all the negative reviewers are wrong and have no idea what they are talking about. And you know what? It was awarded one of top 100 of the best Chinese Restaurants in North America in 2013 by the Chinese Restaurants News. http://top100.chinesemenu.com/web/?action=stars
It is rated as a TOP 100 BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT IN NORTH AMERICA. Let me repeat: IN NORTH AMERICA. This involves ALL the Chinese restaurants in Canada and the USA.
And multiple people have the audacity to rate it one star and call it 'gross', 'awful', etc? What the f*** are you talking about?! ?!
There are some Chinese restaurants that are more accommodating to the tastes of non-Chinese people: Kings Noodle, Mother's Dumpling, etc. I can see how being served by waitresses who barely speak English can be uncomfortable. I can see how looking at the menu, not knowing what the foods taste like, and blankly ordering a few dishes may lead you to be surprised. But you being confused does not mean Ten Mile Aroma is a bad restaurant. Ten Mile Aroma is an EXCELLENT restaurant.
If you think this restaurant is bad, it is like going to the University of Toronto, taking a Calculus class, not knowing what the Professor is talking about, and blaming the University for confusing you. It is absolutely pathetic.
Put some more effort in clarifying with the waitress in terms of what is being served to you. Have a good idea of what types of dishes you might want before you go in. Or, take a Chinese friend the next time you go there who might have an idea of what you might want and what the restaurant has to offer. I can guarantee a better experience.
Sure there are isolated incidents of being served bad food, but that happens to every restaurant. And for the people giving s*** to this restaurant for having cheap beer... WTF?!?! Isn't that supposed to be a good thing? If you are looking for some premium wine, do not go to Chinatown! Go to Chinatown if you want some authentic Chinese food! And if these tastes are too foreign to you, don't go trashing the restaurant because you will be exposed as being an ignorant person who is has no idea what they are talking about by people who actually know the cuisine.
In conclusion: Ten Mile Aroma has some really authentic Northern Chinese food. For Northern Chinese people like me, it tastes great! However, it may be foreign to the average Canadian.
