Food is fine, but service was unfortunately how I expect sometimes when two young looking Asian…read morewomen dine in an Asian restaurant. We were seated fast but a good 15 mins passed and we ended up writing down our own order and had to flag one of the waitresses that were walking by us numerous time setting empty tables to pay us any attention. Food, again, was fine, but the lack of service and attention really ruined it for me. We requested a refill on tea and bags, and the man (owner?) just brought the bags when I am positive he heard my tea request, but why bring it when he could just get us out quicker and not spend 10¢ on a tea bag and hot water. There were families also seated where promptly and continuously attended too. Sadly, this is a problem I find in many ethnic restaurants even when I look the same as them. Sometimes it doesn't matter how good the food is, if you experience bad service or a lack there of compared to other tables, then it can really make you never want to go back to have to experience that again.

Yay! We started with hot tea, followed by Hot and Sour Soup, followed by Eggplant and Fried Tofu in Spicy Garlic Sauce on Rice, and Sesame Chicken. The food was really a blast of wonderful flavors--and served steaming hot! Outstanding!

If anyone's reading this and hasn't tried cafe orient before, what are you doing? I'll try to be as…read moreunbiased as possible since this has been my og go-to place with my family + the previous owner has basically watched me grow up at this point. But truly, the food here tastes as authentic as it can get in Ottawa and very comparable to the AMAZING food you'd find in Toronto/markham. It brings memories back from HK cha cha tengs (ifykyk). We usually come for lunch, but the photo attached is from their set dinner menu. If you come for lunch our go-to is usually the baked porkchop rice (classic), wonton soup, satay beef noodles, hot and sour soup, pad thai, and ofc their milk tea. The previous owner still works here from time-to-time helping out and the new owner that took over is also just as great. Just make sure to plan your trip here accordingly, as during rush hours, you may need to wait for an open table - but so worth it.

Had the shrimp and coriander Xiao long bao $18.99 for 10 and the shrimp and cabbage pan fried…read moredumplings $18.99 for 12. The flavours are not authentic. Both fillings were unusually sweet and one noted. The skins were also odd, most of the dumplings and xiaolong bao came burst open already, as the skin has some obvious weak points that were very thin, but where the pleats were the dough was so thick it had a line of undercooked flour. All in all I'm glad we stuck to one order only and did not get more. They are very busy and people seemed to be enjoying themselves. There were just three people serving, clearing tables, and taking orders so things were understandably a bit slow. Setting is casual.

I have heard about this restaurant from those who visited Montreal and I was seriously planning to…read moretravel to Montreal to try Sammie,'s. But I recently learned that they got a new location in Ottawa, closer to home! Aaaaand here I am finally! Their menu has several different XLB flavors. One basket comes with 10 pieces and if you prefer you can do half and half with $1 extra. XLb size is a bit bigger than many other places. The wrapper was hand pleated and thin, which i appreciated. We ordered the following XLBs. 16 Pork & shrimp & scallop 18 Juicy lamb and coriander 20 Juicy pork & crab 36 Krobuta Pork and summer truffle (special menu. $19.99 for 5pcs.) Best was crab meat one. The soup was a bit sweet for my liking but integration of skin, soup and meat was smooth and had good crab flavor. Pork and summer truffle was also good. The soup was not sweet, which I appreciated about. Simple, unique and smooth. Shrimp & scallop did not have the seafood "flavor" that I expected in this one. Yes each piece had a little bay scallop piece but this chunk, IMHO, hindered the texture. Not as smooth as other kinds of XLBs and had less soup. Least liked flavour was lamb. The gamy flavor was too strong to be suitable for this simple and delicate steamed dumpling style. And a bit oily. We also had the following dumplings: 21 Pork and cabbage (pan fried) 27 Shrimp and cabbage (pan fried) Both looked nice with beautiful fried wing. But the dumpling itself was dry and bland. Another note: They do not have complimentary tea. You will have to pay $7 for one pot. We chose not to order tea and ate with water. You will have to stop a server to ask for filling the glass. They do not voluntarily come to the table to pour in empty glasses. Additional note: XLBs do not come with julienned ginger! The service was unfortunately unattentive although we were here off-peak hours.

This is not because she is the world's greatest cook but because most of the offerings are pretty ordinary. All that said Peking Duck is an exception. We ordered the Peking Duck and while expensive at 88 dollars it was enough for a meal for the two of us. It felt elegant and of very high quality. I've had Peking duck a few times and no where near as good as this. In any case, this was our favorite Chinese place after 4 months living in Ottawa. Not sure about the rest of the menu, but probably worth a try and we might go back. Only downsides are it might be a bit expensive for what it is, and the restaurant is near the Byward Market. The restaurant is very nice but Byward is one of the few spots in Ottawa, that as an American I find to feel a bit sketchy at night.

My bottom line recommendation - please avoid this place. The food is at best mediocre. It is…read morecertainly far from authentic or even delicious. All dishes are overpriced. Simply no value. The service is incredibly bad. They had us waiting for over an hour for our dishes. When asked repeatedly they said that the food is being cooked. Then they finally admitted that the food ticket "fell down" and was missed by the kitchen staff. The ambience and decor are terrible. And there are hygiene issues. Please avoid this place. There are many other amazing restaurants in Ottawa that would serve delicious Chinese dishes and will have the superior Canadian polite service at a very reasonable price in a great setting. This is simply not that place.

We waited…read moreabout 20 minutes to be seated, even though a few tables were clearly vacant but just not cleaned, a bit frustrating, clearly understaffed. The layout seems to cater more to larger parties, so smaller groups may feel a little out of place. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. It took over 10 minutes just to receive a menu after we sat down, and we had to wave someone down multiple times for basic things like tea refills. (Even with the lid open... the universal sign for "more tea," no one came.) The staff didn't seem very attentive or interested in checking in, which made asking for help feel like we were being a bother. Several dishes, like the deep-fried squid, spring rolls, and egg tarts, arrived already cooled off, as if they'd been sitting around for a while. Not ideal. Prices weren't cheap either, so it was hard to justify the overall experience. All in all, pretty underwhelming. Not rushing back.

TL;DR/The Short Version: It's slim pickings for dim sum in…read moreOttawa and this place is the best I've had here (that is still open). Not as good as in Toronto or the GTA, obviously. Order only, no carts pushed around. The Long Version: I took my mom here for dim sum because she loves dim sum. We got there at opening on a Friday. We were thrilled to discover that Happy Hour was Monday to Friday 11am (opening) to 2pm. During Happy Hour, all Small, Medium and Large items were $5.95 (which is the regular price of Small items). Otherwise, medium items are $6.55 and large items are $6.95. We ordered 8 items. We might have overdid it, lol, but we managed to finish everything! Here's the rundown on what we had: Shrimp Siu Mai: easily the best item of the lot. Four big and juicy shrimp balls wrapped in a wonton wrapper and steamed. So delicious! Shrimp Dumplings: these are Har Gow. The wrapper was not chewy but rather starchy and ripped easily. However, the filling was excellent. Very similar to the Shrimp Siu Mai filling. All shrimp, no bamboo filler. Chicken feet: I did not eat any. Too creepy looking, lol. However, my Mom enjoyed them. She said they chopped them up into smaller pieces than at other places though and she didn't like this as much. Glutinous rice with chicken: glutinous rice with ground chicken and tiny pieces of mushrooms, wrapped in lotus leaf and steamed. It was ok, but was too filling, as it's mostly rice. I don't regret trying it, but I wouldn't personally order this again. Radish cakes: crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. Small pieces of preserved sausage mixed in. I enjoyed these. Rice rolls: we got a shrimp one and a beef one. They were identical except for the filling. The rice rolls were soft and tasty. The fillings were good. The shrimp ones had 2-3 shrimp per roll. The beef was more a beef paste, not actual slices of beef. Deep fried shrimp rolls: they were shrimp spring rolls. Crispy on the outside with ground shrimp filling. I enjoyed the sweet, sour and spicy dipping sauce. Service was good. My mom noticed that some people who arrived after us got served before us (and ordered some items we had ordered too), but they appeared to be regulars or maybe friends of the staff/owners. We didn't wait too long for our food, so I wasn't really bothered by it. I loved that they gave us a whole pitcher of water. Saved us having to ask for refills throughout the meal. So they put 2 pieces of paper on the table for you with a pen. One of the papers is for you to indicate what you want. The other paper is for them to keep track of when you ordered, what you ordered and what's outstanding after they bring you your food, since plates are brought out one or two at a time. The place is a good size and I loved the high ceilings with cool chandeliers. There's a nice mural on the back wall with what looks to be the CN Tower. Ah, a little slice of my hometown ;) The space is reminiscent of the Chinese restaurants in the GTA that are also banquet halls that are popular for Asian weddings, but on a bit of a smaller scale. And while most of the restaurant looks nice, along the walls and at the corners of the restaurant they do store some items in plain sight and it feels less nice as a result. The restaurant is in a plaza, so there's lots of free parking. (165)
