4.0 star rating
  Update - 12/29/2011

Came by Rice Pea for an Xmas lunch and the menu is slightly smaller and a bit confusing now.  I reiterate this place is a Northwestern style Chinese restaurant.  It's not a Southeast style (Szechuan, Cantonese, Canadian-Chinese) food so I can't…More »

Out of all the Chinese restaurants in Ottawa I find this one consistently the best though there seems to be a high premium for this.

I find the dim sum really fresh (though my friend had a bad experience recently) and things taste home made.  A few…More »

I'm not sure what it is about this place but when they're "comfort" Chinese food is on I enjoy eating it.  When it's not then I get a massive stomach ache and every so often I roll the dice!!!

The portions are massive and for the price in Ottawa it…More »

I came by here when my friend wanted me to try the best Chinese food in Ottawa and knows I'm picky with Chinese food.

I dropped by this restaurant for lunch and the place fills up very quickly.

It's been awhile since I've come back here I remember why.  I ordered a 18(something) I can't remember off the top of my head but I found the meal really oily.  

I've had the…More »

It's no surprise I'm not a fan of the Chinese restaurants on Somerset.  We were here on Family Day for a family dinner.  Arrived at 6pm and the place was almost a quarter full.  We placed our order and they had it before 6:15pm and I started catching…More »

    This is the best spot in Chinatown that I've had dim sum.  Unfortunately it's ok at best.  It's… Read more »
