I don't know wtf I just ate, the beef was flavourless and definitely not beef it disintegrates in your mouth (not in a good way). the chicken was just god awful aswell, not even the noodles were good. they leave a gross film in the mouth with no flavour, the portions are big but I would rather flavour to my food, the only thing they did right was the chicken balls. if you want a plate of bullshit definitely go here read more

Cypress Garden - I don't know - Chinese Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

I just can't stop picking my orders since discovering it. It's delicious and affordable.

2+ hours to deliver the last three orders. Simply not worth it. I don't know how they can possible be in business.

Really good food and friendly employees! We order for pick up and the order is always on-time.

Delicious doesn't even begin to cover it! This is the perfect place to treat yourself to a big dinner! It was a little on the pricey side, but not anything out of the ordinary for takeaway, especially considering the huge amount you get in each dish. We ordered way too much and the portions are GINORMOUS! They were super also accommodating for a shellfish allergy, and made sure to acknowledge that they understood the note, which is super comforting. There were TONS of veggies in the cantonese chow mein, and they were super crispy, fresh, and delicious (made up for our lack of veggies in the rest of the order). They have my all-time fave mushroom eggdrop soup which is always a win for me. We will absolutely be ordering from Cypress Garden again and I can't wait to eat all those leftovers! read more

Cypress Garden - cantonese chow mein, pork fried rice, chicken balls, crispy beef and egg drop soup! - Chinese Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

I order here on Uber eats from time to time, they give you a ton of good food on their combo plates. Such good value

A bit expensive when it comes to Chinese takeout but quantity makes up for it. I suggest one of those combination dishes, which has the best quantity/price ratio. It also comes with an egg roll packing a surprisingly large amount of meat. The price upfront may seem steep but the food may be enough to feed you for two meals. read more

Cypress Garden is excellent. It's our go to place for delicious chicken balls, crispy beef, Buddha's delight veggies...... and never forget those open ended egg rolls. Better than Golden Palace for sure! read more

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 amount. They will even make your dishes not spicy or without MSG, if you request it. I've only ever ordered Cypress Garden for delivery, which is quite fast, only costs an extra buck, takes Interact, and they deliver until about midnight or so. They've been around for over 10 years and have quite an extensive menu. They offer Mandarin, Cantonese, and Szechuan dishes, and also a couple of random Canadian foods like poutine. They have lot of different combination plates and family dinners, with a good variety of food included in each one. My favorites are Buddha's Delight vegetables, Mo-She Pork, Lemon Chicken, General Tao's Chicken, Crispy Beef, and Fried Beef and Rice Noodles with Black Bean Sauce. Oh man, I just ate pizza, but now I'm craving some Cypress Garden! read more

Cypress Garden - Cypress Garden for delivery with free chicken fried rice with an order over $25 before tax - Chinese Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

I've been ordering take-out / delivery periodically from Cypress Garden for almost 20 years. Overall, the food is consistently good. It's a lot like the "North Americanized" Chinese food that's been served in Canadian and U.S. restaurants since God-knows-when. If you're looking for something more "authentic" or Asian fusion this may not be the place for you. But, so far I have no complaints. The portion sizes are really good too. There's usually some leftovers for the next day. read more

My order took almost 2 hours to arrive, and there was no update about the delay whatsoever. In addition to that the packaging was really terrible. The whole plastic bag was covered with sauce, including the drinks, the dessert and the main dish. I was like.. OK, things happen; maybe they were having a really busy day so they did not pay attention.. until my partner ended up almost getting choked by a big piece of wood in the main dish. NEVER AGAIN. I am not an easy complainer on food, but this was absolutely a TERRIBLE experience altogether. When I tried to call them, they didn't bother answering the phone and I had to give up to not ruin the rest of the night. I am fine with issues regarding to delays and stuff, but when it comes to STUFF IN MY FOOD I just can't avoid that. Absolutely terrible. read more

Cypress Garden - Piece of wood in the rice. - Chinese Near Me - Ottawa, Ontario

See all

Delicious take out. We ordered an assortment of Szechuan dishes (and some bland stuff for the kids) and they completely hit the spot. Flavours and textures were just right. Price was reasonable. Delivery was much faster than they predicted. The food was hot. I'd been unhappy with my previous Chinese take-out place and so I didn't have high expectations when ordering, but when I finished eating I had a huge smile on my face. The vegetarian selection is fairly slim. This isn't innovative, or fusion, and probably isn't "authentic" (never having been to China, I don't even know what that is), but if you're looking for the Chinese food you've loved over the years this is a great version of it. read more

We frequently grab combo plates here. All under $10 and easliy enoyght for two meals. I like the General Tao chicken and the almond chicken guy ding. Crispy beef, S&S Chicken and fried rice are all above standard Ottawa Chinese take out read more

If you like hair in your food, order mixups and lousy customer service then cypress garden is right for you! Don't get me wrong, the food was good and the portions are amazing for the price. But by the time they delivered us the RIGHT order I had lost my appetite. The long black hair I found in my crispy beef was the cherry on top. read more

A part of my late-night delivery rotation, I've never actually stepped inside their restaurant so this review is just for their delivery service. The food, in my opinion is good. However if you were looking for more authentic Chinese, you'll be disappointed. It more resembles food court Chinese food. Sure, it's greasy but it totally fills any late cravings. It's also ridiculously cheap for the huge portions, which is always a plus. Delivery doesn't take that long either, and the drivers have always been nice. read more

Food is decent. Ordered delivery on two occasions, first time food arrived two hours late, second time I called them back after the food was an hour late and was told that delivery should arrive in approximately 45 minutes. I canceled my order and will not return as a customer. read more

They stopped putting cashews and quality ingredients in their dishes. The chicken balls have like a tiny amount of chicken and order 3 dishes and its over 50 bucks because of delivery, tax and its so not worth it. I could go on but don't charge premium rates for a place that only has one dish worth ordering. The Emperor would roll over in his grave if he ate here. Won big gyp. read more

I am writing this while still waiting for the food to show up. We ordered at 4:00PM on a Sunday, was told it would be 45min-1-hour and we are coming on 1.5 hours now. I called to check in and see where the food was and the man was very rude and did not offer any apology or explanation. I asked is this is something he considered to be acceptable to which he replied it was. So if you like waiting for food to never show up then make sure you order from these assholes. Absolutely pathetic. read more

We have ordered take out from Cypress gardens for over 5 years. The food quality is excellent. The large portions are loaded with fresh ingredients, and the meat dishes are loaded with meat. Cypress gardens makes the BEST chicken balls in Ottawa. The pieces of chicken are large and pure white meat. This Ottawa restaurant is a must! read more

Best wonton soup in Ottawa. Also they are very professional. Large quantity and very affordable prices. Awesome A plus

On Christmas eve ordered at 5pm was told 1hr. 4 hrs later received food. 10 to 15 people waiting inside and out for hours for food. Poor management decisions in the quantity of orders to take Nd kept taking orders. The food is good however the experience has left us looking for another spot. read more

Eerily similar to Asia Garden on Dynes, but the food here is ever so slightly better. Decent Chinese takeout, nothing to write home about but it is quick and gets the job done. read more

This this the only place in Ottawa that I go for Chinese food, it's soo good and cheap. I get a combination plate and I'm good for a couple of days. You can't beat that for just under ten bucks read more

Not bad. The food isn't the best Chinese ever but the portions are great, I have a huge appetite and I always have leftovers. Never too pricey either, I recommend it. read more

I have been ordering from Here for years almost once a week. Lately we have noticed a decline both in the quality and service. In fact the last time we ordered (June 11 2012) they messed up the order and forgot the Beef with black bean sauce,and cooked it with MSG even though we asked for no MSG. When we got home The food tasted as good as it always does, except this time 15-20 minutes after eating the whole family was fighting for the bathroom, and then the vomiting started. I WILL NEVER EVER EVER ORDER FROM CYPRESS GARDENS AGAIN..... read more

This is just pure disgusting. I'll never order here again. I believe a bowl full of pure sugar would have less calories than their meals. Pure unhealthily junk food, I got sick within five minutes of eating it and threw most of it in the trash. If you don't care about your health or your weight, this is the prefect place for you. And if you like stomach cramps and diarrhea all night, you found yourself a winner. read more

Best open ended egg rolls ever, my son also loves the noodle delight and chicken balls

Called for delivery. Was warned 60-80mins for delivery. Called after an hour and a half, was told driver was on his way. Waited 2 hrs called to cancel, was only offered discount on a future item. Cancelled. Then the driver calls, he didn't know what was going on and turns out, he hasn't even left yet. Really? Did they expect people can wait 2.5 he's? read more

Really tasty food with huge portions for what you pay. A bit slow for delivery but definitely worth the wait! They are not shy with the spice read more

One hour after I placed my order, food hadn't arrived. I called to check on it. The woman who answered said, "It's probably not finished." I asked when it would be. She said she didn't know. I asked her to check. She hung up on me. I called back. She said they have a question for me. She said they didn't have any almond soo guy. Didn't have any kind of soo guy. I thought she was punking me. They don't have soo guy? They are asking me this OVER ONE HOUR AFTER I placed my order. I asked her to repeat herself so I could be sure of what I heard. She begin screaming into my ear in Chinese. She was talking to someone else, I think. She repeated herself to me and I said I would take sweet and sour chicken. She said she didn't know what that was. I was incredulous. I canceled my order. She seemed quite happy that I did. Bizarre. read more

Online menu says free chicken fried rice with $34 order before delivery and taxes. I just ordered $35.10 before delivery and taxes but no free CFR. I called them back and they told me you had to order $37 if the order is online. No where on the menu or their website does it say this. I won't order here again as a matter of principle. read more

We just had food delivered from this restaurant. The order took almost 2 hours from when I placed the order and when I phoned to find out why it was taking so long I got a surly abrupt speaking employee. Adding insult to injury was the fact that the food was terrible! I mean really bad! The egg rolls tasted like there was cinnamon in them and when my friend bit into one the inside plopped out of the wrapper still fully formed. It lay there looking for all the world like a turd... really repulsive looking. The chicken balls were spongy and bland. The "sweet and sour" sauce tasted like apple juice thickened with cornstarch. The fried rice had minuscule amounts of chicken in it and needed salt. When do you ever need to put more salt in Chinese food?? The anemic white noodle dish tasted like an anemic white noodle dish. The garlic ribs were..... well really, do I need to go on? I will never order from this restaurant again. Terrible. The worst part is now I have loads of leftovers that I can't even enjoy for breakfast in the morning. read more
