Vintage Hotpot

Vintage Hotpot (Xian He Zhuang) brought a celebrity-backed Sichuan brand to Steeles East with a bright, design-forward room that still feels like a neighbourhood destination rather than a mall food-court clone. The move is a double-flavour pot—spicy plus tomato or pork bone—then layering in braised street snacks (tendon, quail egg, pig ear) alongside the usual meats and balls. AYCE and late-night windows make it one of North York’s most useful group picks after 9 p.m. Plaza parking is easy; the room fills for weekend dinner, so arrive early or expect a short wait.
