Sichuan Style - Hamilton

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Sichuan Cuisine in the Heart of Kirikiriroa We’ve dined at this Sichuan restaurant on 24 Collingwood Street several times now, and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back — even though we don’t live in Kirikiriroa. It has become one of our must‑stop spots whenever we’re in Hamilton, and in our view, it’s arguably the best Chinese restaurant in the city. We visited again on Boxing Day 2025, and despite the public holiday surcharge (15%), it was still absolutely worth it. The street itself was fairly quiet, but this restaurant stood out as the busiest place on the block, which already tells you something about its reputation among those who know good food. The dishes were consistently flavourful, balanced, and authentically Sichuan — the kind of heat that warms you rather than overwhelms you, with layers of spice that show real skill in the kitchen. Everything arrived fresh, hot, and surprisingly quickly, even with a steady flow of customers. The service was friendly and efficient, and the whole dining experience felt smooth and relaxed. What we appreciate most is the reliability: every visit has been tasty, satisfying, and well worth the trip. It’s rare to find a place that delivers this level of quality so consistently. We’ll definitely be back — again and again.

Looks like this is an extremely famous and most recommended Chinese restaurant in Hamilton. Friends around when I asked for suggestions to have dinner in the city centre, everyone gave me the same answer "go to Sichuan style". Only two of us, and the portion is very big so we could only take two signatures. Very good location, very good hospitality, very yummy. No wonder business is this good even on the day with additional 15% service charges.

Stopped in Hamilton Central for lunch at Chongqing Weidao Sichuan Style Restaurant on Collingwood Street. It was right at midday and already quite busy, which felt promising. After an early start and a long cave walk, we were craving something flavorful—and this meal delivered perfectly. The dishes were fresh, spicy, and full of authentic Sichuan character, with that addictive mix of heat and numbing peppercorns. Portions were generous and satisfying, just what we needed to recharge before continuing our trip. Highly recommend if you’re in Hamilton and looking for real Chinese food.

Some friends and I were craving something spicy, so we decided to visit this place for lunch while we were in Hamilton. It turned out to be a really solid choice, and I’m glad we went. The noodle dishes we had were particularly impressive, with generous portions of both meat and noodles. The soup and broth were rich and full of flavour, making for a satisfying meal. The spice level here was no joke—if you’re looking for real heat, this place will definitely deliver! The spicy chicken, a classic dish, was another highlight. It had bold flavours and was perfect for sharing, especially if you’re dining with a large group. The standout for me was the beef noodle soup, which had a deep, savoury richness that paired perfectly with the heat. It complemented the spicy chicken beautifully, rounding out the meal. Simple, easy, and delicious—just how it should be.

Tasty authentic Chinese food with big portions and good service. The eggplant and pork was well done and the sichuan dumplings were fragrant and so plump and silky I struggled to pick them up. I appreciated the back page menu items suitable for individuals or pairs, alternative to the large share plates also available. Woth saying the sichuan style is a regional cuisine rather than a spice level, you can enjoy many dishes without it being hot at all.
