The Short Version:
Take out only Chinese restaurant in Old Ottawa South. Food was just OK in my opinion.
The Long Version:
I've known about Eggroll Express for many years now but just recently got around to trying it. What finally enticed me was a BOGO (buy one get one free) deal on UberEats plus a save $12 when you spend $40 or more. I saw that they had Cantonese Chow Mein on BOGO for $22 and General Tao Tofu on BOGO for $21, which totaled $43 minus the additional $12 deal, so it turned out to be only $31 for four dishes. I couldn't pass that up, LOL.
I ordered on my UberEats app and then drove to the restaurant from work. True to what the app said it was packed and ready to go by the time I arrived. Pick up was quick and seamless and staff were courteous.
The Cantonese Chow Mein was not bad, but I found the BBQ pork way too fatty for my liking. It did also have two large shrimp, some lean pieces of chicken, mushrooms, onions, broccoli, and Napa cabbage. No wow factor for me but it was decent.
The General Tao tofu had good flavour. It came with onions, broccoli and green peppers. The tofu is deep fried tofu puffs. They were a little bit spongy in texture, but this is the nature of that type of tofu. Again I found the food was satisfactory but lacking in wow factor.
I was pleasantly surprised to receive a small container of complementary steamed white rice.
With the multiple deals I got each dish worked out to be $7.75. For this price I would get the Cantonese Chow Mein again. I personally would not pay the regular price of $19 for the Cantonese Chow Mein.
Bottom line, it's North Americanized Chinese takeout.
The restaurant is exclusively takeout there is no dine-in option. Although there is a metal bench and a single chair for you to sit and wait for your takeout order.
Street parking only.
