1. 1000 Sushi Islands
My brother, friend, and I had such a terrible experience here that it was actually funny. Though it had completely affordable prices and seemed to be very popular, we had terrible service and mediocre food. The waitress was sweet, but took forever to…More »
2. Ahora Mexican Cuisine
Ahora seems like one of those little hole-in-the-wall kind of places that you easily walk by without paying much attention. I'd never heard of it until a friend suggested we meet there. I opened the door and walked down the stairs to the restaurant.…More »
3. Asia Garden
I've ordered delivery from Asia Garden a few times. They have many of your standard Chinese dishes, and they also have combination plates for one person, or dinners for two to six people.
The first time I ordered from them, my friend and I got a…More »
4. Bento Nouveau
Bento Nouveau is the little fast-food sushi bar in the food court of the Rideau Centre. It actually has a big sign that says "SUSHI", and "Bento Nouveau" in small print below it, so people may not even know what it's actually called.
Most people will…More »
5. Bubblicity Tea Shop
This is the first time I've ever been to a Bubblicity location. The second we walked in, my brother and I, having lived in Mississauga, both realized that it reminded us a lot of a place named Bubble Republic. The walls were a soft yellow, and…More »
6. Cathay Restaurants
I got a Cathay delivery menu in the mail, and I was excited to find that their combinations included so much food!
Their dinner for two was only about $25 and came with wonton soup or hot and sour soup, egg rolls or spring rolls, Buddha's Delight,…More »
7. Chu Shing Restaurant
I used to go here often a few years ago with my family, as they have a very large space, but I find that the quality of the food has slowly declined in recent years. In my experience, the service has always been fast, and they're usually willing to…More »
8. Cypress Garden
You always get such a good value at Cypress Garden. Not only do they have really tasty, well-portioned food, but they also have really affordable prices and even offer free dishes, like chicken fried rice or chow mein, if you order reaches a certain…More »
9. Emerald Buffet
After hearing about Du Barry from some friends, a few of us decided to give it a try for lunch. There aren't too many Chinese buffets around town, especially in Ottawa. Mandarin is a popular choice in the GTA, but since I'm not a fan of it, I was…More »
10. East African Restaurant
Having never eaten at an Ethiopian restaurant before, my friend and I decided to give East African Restaurant a try. It looked much more inviting than the restaurant next door, so we chose to eat here. The place was empty and we were seated right…More »
11. Garlic Corner
After hitting the bar pretty hard, this place is really convenient for late night munchies. It's really close to the Market, so it's walking distance, even when it's cold. A group of friends and I came here to eat at about 2am on a Wednesday night,…More »
12. Genji Japanese Restaurant
There are two main things that I appreciate about Genji - they deliver (Fridays and Saturdays only) and they carry sashimi items on their menu that other sushi bars rarely do. They have octopus, butterfish, scallops, sea urchin, and raw sweet shrimp.…More »
13. Golden Century Buffet
For those of you that haven't been here in awhile, you might recognize this restaurant as Royal Buffet. The location is still the same, with the cute little bridge behind it. Royal Buffet was here for a long, long time - I remember eating here as a…More »
14. Golden Star Chinese Food
Like many other Chinese restaurants, Golden Star offers both Szechuan and Cantonese fare, with pretty much the same dishes as anywhere else.
I ordered their combination plate number five, which was under 10 bucks and came with a spring roll, chicken…More »
15. Greek On Wheels
Greek on Wheels is one of the best Greek restaurants in Ottawa. It keeps getting voted as the best Greek food every year, so they have to be doing something right.
Their platters are really huge and filling, and come with rice pilaf, huge roasted…More »
16. Greek To Go
For all of you that have never had Greek to Go before, it's actually the same as McArthur Pizza, so you can order food from either restaurant.
My absolute favorite Greek dish is moussaka, and I am happy to report that the moussaka platter here is…More »
17. Greeky Grill
Greeky Grill is actually also Cumberland Pizza. They share the same address and phone number, and if it's anything like Greek to Go/McArthur Pizza, if you're ordering for delivery, I'm sure you can try ordering items from both restaurants.
Like other…More »
18. Japanese Village
A came here with a group of picky eaters, and I wasn't sure how well this place would go over, but because there's both a sushi bar and Japanese teppanyaki grill, I didn't think it would be too difficult for them to find something they would eat. The…More »
19. Jimmy the Greek
I really like that fact that there's a Greek fast-food joint in the food court. Sometimes you're not really in the mood for a burger or fried chicken, and want more "real" food, heartier meals and such.
I used to order the Chicken Souvlaki, but I…More »
20. Kinki
Kinki is not your regular sushi place - it is more Asian fusion restaurant. A few friends and I went to Kinki for a small bite to eat before heading to a charity event. We were very formally dressed but didn't feel out of place, as Kinki is also a…More »
21. La Grand Pita
After an appointment at the building next door, my boyfriend and I went to the Westgate Mall to do a little shopping for odds and ends and to find something to eat. We saw La Grand Pita in the food court, and since I was suddenly in the mood for…More »
22. Libnan Bakery
I was in the neighbourhood and was craving shawarma for lunch, and taking the suggestions of others, I walked over to Libnan Bakery. It's located in the Conroy Mall plaza. When I walked in, the lady at the counter was very nice, welcomed me with a…More »
23. Mambo Nuevo Latino
Originally, I heard about this restaurant from another website offering vouchers. I bought a voucher not realizing it was only valid from Sunday to Tuesday, so I decided to take my cousin out for a late lunch for her belated birthday. She has severe…More »
24. Maru Sushi & Korean Restaurant
Maru is a cute little restaurant below and attached to the Days Inn downtown, off the corner of Rideau and Nelson. For such a small place, it has quite the extensive menu. They serve sushi and Korean fare, and they even have a breakfast menu with…More »
25. Mexicali Rosa's - CLOSED
I came here in during the May 2-4 weekend with a friend for a late dinner. It is located right on Dow's Lake, above Lago Bar, Grill, & Nightclub/Lounge. We sat in the patio area outside and the view was fantastic! This area was pretty packed, awhile…More »
26. Mexicali Rosa's
A friend of mine wanted to eat at Mexicali Rosa's for her January birthday - a taste of summer during the winter. We were a group of six, and to our surprise, none of us has eaten at any Mexicali Rosa's restaurant before. We were all very excited to…More »
27. Miga Restaurant
My cousin and I were in the mood for some sushi on a Friday night, so we decided to try Miga, as we heard about it from many friends. It was a pretty full house, but no one seemed to wait very long to be seated. My cousin ordered Jasmine tea and I…More »
28. The Mongolian Village Grill
My friend took my brother and I here because we had never been to a Mongolian Grill before. It's located in the Gloucester Centre, right in the corner facing the parking lot, so you really can't miss it.
When we walked in, it was really packed. Almost…More »

Categories:
Juice Bars & Smoothies,
Coffee & Tea
My cousin and I were walking around Chinatown on a Sunday night, looking for a bubble tea shop. Being from the Greater Toronto Area, we were hoping to find a place that had a decent taste for a decent price. Of course, we knew that the selection here…More »
30. New China
New China has both Cantonese and Szechuan style dishes, as well as a few other curried items. Their food is tasty, but they don't really have anything that is necessarily unique or special to their restaurant.
They also have set family dinners and…More »
31. New Mee Fung
My cousin took me here for dinner with a few other family members. We ordered a few of your regular dishes, including Vietnamese deep fried spring rolls, shrimp rolls, Yeung Chow fried rice, and some pho.
I had a great time with my family, catching up…More »
32. New Pho Bo Ga La
Especially now that Thu Do has moved down the hill, New Pho Bo Ga La is a much more prominent pho restaurant in Chinatown, with such a prime location.
There's been a lot of hype about Pho Bo Ga, but in my opinion, NEW Pho Bo Ga LA, is much, much…More »
33. Oriental Palace Restaurant
Oriental Palace is one of my favorite restaurants to order delivery from. They have Szechuan and Cantonese dishes, and will even make special dishes for you, even if they're not on the menu. They also have a lot of family dinners, combination plates,…More »
34. Pho Bo Ga
My cousin and I were in the mood for pho, after hearing all the hype about Pho Bo Ga, we really wanted to give it a try and see for ourselves.
We went there this afternoon, on a Wednesday around 4:30pm. The place was empty, aside from a couple of…More »
35. Pho Thu Do Restaurant
My family and I were looking to at Thu Do, but apparently the restaurant has moved! The old space between New Pho Bo Ga La has new owners, and the Thu Do restaurant is about 20 metres down the hill. The sign now reads "Pho Thu Do Restaurant", and the…More »

I've been going to Thu Do since I was a little girl. The decor hasn't changed much, and the neither… Read more »
36. Rideau Spring Roll King
For something named "Spring Roll King", they don't really offer many spring rolls. They have open- and close-ended egg rolls, shrimp spring rolls, and vegetable spring rolls. They also have a few Vietnamese, charbroiled, rice vermicelli spring rolls,…More »
37. Sakura Japanese Restaurant
Sakura is one of Ottawa's All-You-Can-Eat sushi bars. They have a pretty large selection of items, with over 200 choices on their menu.
A main problem I've had with Sakura is consistency. The quality of the sushi and sashimi can be so fresh during one…More »
38. Shanghai Restaurant
I LOVE this place! I was introduced to Shanghai by a close girlfriend and her boyfriend a few years ago and to this day, it's still one of my favourite restaurants! Shanghai holds many events, like concerts, karaoke nights, dances, art sales, and…More »
39. Shawarma Byte
If you live in Sandy Hill, guaranteed you've seen this place before, and have probably grabbed a shawarma or two. In the last two years, this location has gone from "Spuds", a sweet potato fries restaurant, to Shawarma Sandrella/Sindrla Restaurant,…More »
40. Shawarma Hassoon & Pizzeria
I had one of my first shawarmas at Shawarma Hassoon!
When I was living in residence at Carleton at the time, and a bunch of people from my floor were ordering food for delivery. They asked if I wanted anything, so I took a look at the menu. They have…More »
