Very simple place just running out of basically a trailer in a parking lot but you could tell that everyone working there was super kind and the lady taking orders was very nice. Took a little bit for the food to come but it was well worth it it's a lot of food for the money and every part of it was very delicious. The chips were crispy as in the name and the cheese was nice and squeaky as cheese curds should be. The gravy was rich but didn't overwhelm the whole meal. Great little spot if you want some real authentic Canadian poutine.

I really like their hamburgers and fries here…read more The bunderful burger is messy to eat but it's totally worth the 8 napkins you must continuously wipe your mouth after taking each bite. The fries are so tastey in whatever greasey oil they cook in. This is ultimate comfort food & worth every calorie. If you're still hungry, there are salty peanuts complimentary (sometimes) as well.

We waited for about 6 minutes for this order, but the server was amazing she explained the menu.

We were surprised by how heavy the box was! The chicken was tender, hot and crispy! My only complaint is that they got our order of one spicy and one regular wrong even though I asked them specifically. I think cuz it was so busy they got a lot of orders wrong. I'd rate this my tied for my second favorite fast food fried chicken to date.

Edo Japan has come such a long way! It's a Canadian chain that sells Japanese food. It was founded…read morein 1979 and started off exclusively in mall food courts mainly just selling chicken and beef teriyaki on white rice. I used to hate it because it was mostly bean sprouts and onions (with some cabbage and carrots) with gristley meat on plain rice. So I avoided Edo for like 20 years, lol. However, recently one of my co-workers bought his lunch from there and it was a noodle bowl and looked delicious. I asked him where it was from and I was shocked when he said Edo Japan. They have totally expanded their menu, have stand alone locations now (of which this is one of them) and their food is pretty good for fast food, just a bit pricey imo. I got the Hawaiian Chicken Bento Box ($13.75). It came with my choice of 2 sides. I got Gyoza and California Rolls. The Hawaiian Chicken is chicken, pineapple, cabbage, broccoli and carrots on a bed of white rice (the menu said mushrooms were included, my meal for some reason did not have mushrooms). I got 2 Gyoza. The filling was ground pork. I got 4 California rolls. I asked for no sesame seeds and they were able to accommodate. The California rolls were grocery store quality sushi, so not that good. The filling was cucumber, avocado and an imitation crab salad (mixed with mayo). No masago. It was pretty flavourless. Gyoza were good. Fried from frozen, but to be expected of fast food joints. The Hawaiian Chicken was fried up to order. It was pretty tasty. I asked for their teriyaki sauce on the side and they gave me so much of it. I'm glad I didn't get the sauce on the food. It would have been way too wet and saucy for me. Service was very friendly and courteous. I'm so glad that I gave Edo Japan another chance. For Japanese fast food, they are pretty good. Obviously not as good as Japanese non-fast food, but you have to take places for what they are. This location is in College Square. It's next to Thai Express. Along the same side as Starbucks and BMO. Lots of free parking.

I wouldn't really recommend it but if someone's in the mood for a certain type of food like hotdog & such and I so happen to be near and A&W, I'd say this would be an option. That's my best way of describing this place without knocking it out. Service was non existent. There's a bunch of teenagers there. I can't say much about the ambiance or indoor setting.

I kept seeing the teen burger and since it is across the street from the hotel I am staying at... why not. I kept seeing the 24hr drive thru busy at all times. Surprising to see how busy it was inside as well. We have 1 in Brampton and it always looks slow. The drive thru there... service is so slow. Ok, so I ordered the teen burger, sweet potato fries and an ice tea. Once you pay, you take your drink to wherever your sitting. Someone brings the rest of your order. The burger was ... alright. Nothing great. I am intrigued to give the "beyond burger" a try next. The sweet potato fries was served in this neat mesh type basket... I saw regular fries being served with this too... it was good. Come with the chipotle mayo dipping sauce. Overall it was ok... the stars is for the neat... different experience.

I got my husband and I some shawarma meals here and overall they were great…read more I got the chicken saj shawarma meal ($14.99) for myself and got the lamb saj shawarma meal ($16.99) for my husband. They both came with fries, coleslaw and pickles. I love saj bread. It's so much tastier than regular pita, IMO. However, this saj bread was a bit on the dry side. It wasn't as soft and chewy as I like. The chicken was excellent. A good mix of soft tender pieces and crispy crunchy pieces. The chicken saj has pickles and garlic sauce in the wrap. Those are the default toppings. The lamb was too gamey for me, but my husband liked it. He said he would have liked more crispy pieces though. The lamb saj comes with tomatoes, tabouli, and tahini in the wrap. The coleslaw was mayo based and satisfactory but nothing remarkable. The fries were regular cut fries, likely from frozen and then they sprinkle some spices on it. I like that they were generous with the fries. The fries were quite good. The pickles were ok and the pickled turnips were ok too. Service was neutral, and not that quick, but not excessively slow. They have a fairly large dining room that's nicely decorated. The shawarma here is Syrian-style, which is different from the majority of shawarma places in Ottawa which serve Lebanese-style shawarma. I like both. The restaurant is in the same plaza as T&T and where Dagu Rice Noodles used to be. Lots of free parking in the plaza parking lot.

The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with incredible flavor, and everything tasted fresh. I've had shawarma all over New York City, but this was on a completely different level. The quality, taste, and authenticity exceeded all my expectations. Even though it was delivered, the food arrived fresh and delicious. If you're in Ottawa and craving amazing shawarma, I highly recommend The Palace Shawarma. It's easily one of the best shawarma experiences I've ever had, and I'll definitely order again the next time I'm in town! Respectfully, Mostafa

Shawarma Palace might have to take the crown for the best shawarma in Ottawa!…read more As a Torontoian, we have decent shawarma but it doesn't compare to the shawarma in Ottawa. Whenever I'm in Ottawa, this is a spot you got to stop at. I admit it is pricer than other places but the service is friendly and efficient, things that you need at a booming place. At $30 for a mixed plate, I can't say it's cheap but it is filling. Prepare to have itis after and enjoy the massive amounts of protein. 4/5
