Hot Space

3.5 star. Spiciness level is very high! But its great that you get to customize he level of spiciness. All round great place for authentic spicy food in the chongqin area. I tried their pre made bowls and wow! Full of toppings! Maybe a bit lesser noodles than I would have liked but the toppings definitely made up for it! The «sour spicy» noodles was also really well executed. Not much toppings in it but the soup made up for it! Its really spicy but the sourness kicks in and balances it out quite well.
The place may seem a little small without. much decoration but the food definitely makes up for it! Plus they are open til late so a good late late night snack/​dinner for those late night spicy cravings.
I will be back to try more! I still need to try their customizable options :)! Give that a try if you go and let me know what you think!

3.5 Star
Hot Space has one of the most authentic Chongqin Hot and Sour Noodles ($ 5.99) I ate in GTA. The flavour is really balanced between the spiciness and sourness. The broth has an excellent depth and I just love the toppings: peanuts, preserved vegetables, coriander, yellow beans, green onions all diced up!
The portion size though is small, I can eat 3 of those for lunch but that will be $ 18!
I will be back for their individual style hotpot starting from $ 6.99, and of course I will be requesting the «extreme» extra spicy!
