Foodie Fruitie - a bowl of soup with meat and vegetables - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

Good value for the price, you will leave full! Nice place to hang out with friends and other students; service is hit or miss (can be pretty busy at times), but overall good experience. Meals come with free seaweed salad and red bean ice cream! Bubble tea was average, but they have daily specials! read more

Used to live in the apartment this was at so I frequented this place a lot. Prices were decent considering the portions. I graduated and recently went back and paid another visit and I think their fried stuff is a hit or a miss. I wish it was more consistent because when their chicken/pork katsu is done right, it's bomb. But unfortunately that wasn't the case and it was overfried :(. I think their sushi is a decent deal if you're craving it and don't wanna travel to.. kinkaku or something in the area. I personally feel like all their portions are great for students because I often end up taking it home as well and it becomes another meal. I really enjoy their cumin chicken skewers and it's something I miss a lot since I left that apartment. They always taste great! There's plenty of space to sit and it's a great place to hang out with friends after classes etc. I've also brought my family here when they came and visit because they offer enough options that everyone can usually find something they'd like. If you collect vicinity points, they also reward you for $5 after spending $50 there which isn't too bad! read more

Service here is fast and great and prices are student friendly. So the servers are very friendly, as soon as you're seated they bring you some water and salted peanuts. You have to call the server when you're ready and the service is pretty quick. The food portions are big as well. I usually get the rice dishes which come with salad and miso soup. As for taste, it could be better. Back when the restaurant first opened their food was very good, now it seems like it sort of fell off. The teriyaki chicken and salmon tastes okay but the meat is somewhat chewy. I've also had ramen here in the past and it isn't as good as Kenzo's. To finish they have free ice cream for dessert as well which is very good. In terms of value this place is really good, but it isn't the best food. I'd recommend this place once in a while if you're looking for some Asian fusion. read more

So conveniently located (especially if you live at 203 Lester st! I love placing an order ahead of time and picking it up 15min later on my way home from campus!) Quality is not the most amazing, but definitely worth the price you pay for it! If you eat in, you might even get a free cute seaweed salad/takoyaki/salted peanuts appetizer and icecream dessert!! Don't forget to pay with cash or show your KW4Rent discount card for a discount, or collect points on your vicinity card towards a future discount! My go-tos: Curry chicken cutlet on rice combo Spicy salmon roll w chicken skewers(cumin) combo read more

I would give this place a 3.5-4/5. Foodie fruitie is located at a good location, close for students and there's also a Coco's right downstairs for Bbt lovers. Rice here is a hit or miss (can be very good or super soggy or undercooked). My favorites here are the salmon teriyaki and the curry chicken. Meals here are around $10 so it's budget-friendly. You also get 10% off if you pay with cash. To start, you get free seaweed salad for sharing and a scoop of red bean ice cream (make sure to ask) at the end of your meal. Groups of six or more get free takoyaki. Most rice sets also come with miso soup and a salad The sushi here is also pretty good- I've had the fire red dragon roll and the black dragon roll. But I don't go for that because it's not filling as a meal. Ramen here on the other hand sucks. Basically just a ton of sodium, you can't even taste the flavour really. You get free noodle refills. Instant ramen is better lol. I gave it two chances and never again. Overall this is my go-to for food because their rice sets are pretty wholesome. I also like the salmon teriyaki and curry chicken. read more

I've been here many times and I think my overall experience is the same. It's very simple, they seat you down and give you water and a small plate of seaweed salad and then later ask you for your order. That's about as much service as you will get at a typical Chinese restaurant (not that I mind it that much). Despite what many people say about the food being 'meh', I actually find it decent. Now, I only order about two dishes from here every time, so I can't vouch for the whole menu. Their ramen, albeit not the authentic Japanese ramen you may be looking for, is quite good! I usually get the spicy soup ramen (really spicy for people who have average spice tolerance like me). It is packed with flavour, a generous helping of ramen noodles and a decent amount of meat. I am always very full after it, but if you want more, they provide a second helping of noodles for free! The only thing I wish they add to it is more veggies--they serve it with beansprout but it would be nice if they added some bok choy/watercress/shredded cabbage into it as well. My go-to side dish is the Japanese octopus balls. It comes in six pieces topped with mayo and dried bonito flakes. Being an avid fan of takoyaki, I was a little sad that they did not have takoyaki sauce on it. Still delicious nonetheless but would have been better if it was there. My overall experience was pretty good. Affordable and large food portions makes my tummy happy. (: read more

Food tastes decently. The sushi was quite filling, in my opinion. My parents and I both enjoyed the combo sets as the rice was cooked perfectly and still warm. Both sesame and curry chicken sets were delicious. It's the third time I've ate here and I for sure will be coming back! read more

Foodie Fruitie - Window view. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

Tldr: Asian fusion restaurant, decent price and good portions, 3.5/5 for taste, ok service, would recommend to students Foodie Fruitie is my go-to place for an asian fusion dine-in restaurant when i'm in Waterloo. I would say it's probably the best asian place that is close to campus, though if they decided to open up in Scarborough, Markham, Richmond hill, GTA, i don't think it will survive. This place thrives on university students who are deprived of asian cuisine and want a place that serves relatively good quality dishes at a cost-friendly level. Thus it's pretty packed during lunch and dinner times. When i come here, i usually get the Terriyaki salmon ($9.99) or Beef short ribs ($9.99) rice sets. It comes with salad, miso soup, and a heap of vegetables (has been nappa recently, bean sprouts in the past). For the salmon set, they give around 3 reasonable sized pieces of salmon drenched in their terriyaki sauce. They give a good amount of beef short ribs as well, though it's inconsistent with the level of dryness of the beef. Flavor-wise, it's 3.5/5. It can also get pretty salty as the meat and vegetables drown in the sauce. I guarantee that you will get full when you order their rice set combos. The portions are great, and you can ask for an extra bowl of rice at no extra cost. The sushi combos are not bad for the price as well, but it's nothing special. When i do decide to get the sushi, i go with the sushi combo C ($13.99) and it comes with salmon, eel, shrimp and crab sushi, 6pcs spicy salmon roll, and 8pcs Red dragon roll. Service here is meh, though i usually get what i ordered. They do separate bills for small and larger groups as long as you go up to the front desk to pay. They also give you ice cream (usually red-bean) as a dessert for free. So i guess that makes up for the inconsistent service? Anyways, as a waterloo student myself, i do come here often since it's close-by. I would 100% recommend this place to my fellow peers, though if you're not from here and you want asian cuisine, i would look elsewhere. read more

First and foremost: I love Foodie Fruitie. It tries to do a lot of things. It does some of it very well, some of it not so well. But let this be clear: its 5.99 crispy salmon roll and 6.99 dynamite roll are HUGE and incredibly delicious for the price. This restaurant is mostly a fix for me to get cheap sushi for great value. This is a restaurant that I frequent, since I live so closeby. I've visited over 20 times, and I've tried most options on the menu. Let's start off with the pros: WHAT A VARIETY. From Ramen to Curry rice, teriyaki to fried chicken, Sushi to bubble tea, $7 Toast deserts to free ice cream; this place does it all! The quality is not consistent. I am a huge fan of the sushi at this place - the portions are ridiculously large for the price (compared to other places near UW). A single dynamite roll here is enough to fill me up. And it tastes amazing - arguably the best dynamite roll I've ever had. Other dishes that I really enjoy from here: Curry Udon, or just Udon with chicken, is very delicious but also very oily. Teriyaki short ribs on rice Cumin Lamb Skewers (expensive, but good) Outside of that, this place is subpar. Its ramen is not that great. Its fried rice is actually quite bad. Its appetizers, like fried calamari and lobster balls are good, but a bit expensive. It's bubble tea selection is wide, but tastes average (and overpriced). Its service is absolute crap, and I think this is the one factor that pushes it down to a 3/5 from 4/5. 15% of the time, they forget your order, or bring you the wrong order. Each time I order the udon, I ask for no onions, but 40% of the time it comes with onion. Sometimes, food will take 30-40 minutes to arrive (if it's not forgotten). Some servers are friendly and nice, some clearly so not want to be there or talk to you. But! Free red bean ice cream if you eat in, so it's not all bad. After all of that, I have to say that I LOVE this restaurant. Im a regular, and I'm satisfied with the food I get most of the time. The sushi and the udon and the lamb skewers make me come crawling back for more. Just, there are so many improvements this restaurant can make, especially with service. I hope to one day change my rating to a higher one. I love foodie and I don't want to give it a 3, but it's what it deserves. read more

foodie fruitie has such a great location, ambiance, and menu selection for students... It's brightly lit, it has bubble tea, the food is decently priced, and they offer free appetizers for groups... but its abysmal quality of food ruins what Could have been the Ultimate haven for all hungry students alike. What i tried at foodie : - lemon grass chicken rice set: 4/5 for what it's worth, it isn't bad. the combo comes with rice, miso soup and salad. the flavour isn't strong but you can still taste subtle lemongrassiness. they rely heavily on the sauce. the chicken is super oily. - rainbow roll: 1/5 the fish was thin and abnormally coloured. the avocado was a little underripe. the rice was hard. everything that could go wrong with a maki roll in an extremely generous portion of cheap mush - Eel rice set 1/5 the dish is literally a gigantic pile of rice with 6 super razor thin slivers of bbq eel. honestly, the sauce was probably thicker than the eel itself - mango slush: 4/5 this is pretty decent. It's not real mango though. get with a combo for a bit of a discount a lot of my friends have notes that the quality of food has significantly degraded over the past two years. the servers are not super good but not super bad either. Wait times for food is pretty inconsistent. Evenings tend to be really really long. some items it will come out in 5 minutes. others will come out after everyone else is done eating. also note that most dishes come with unlimited refillable noodles and ice cream... but this is a secret that the resto is not very open about overall, I would recommend foodie fruitie as a great place to hang out, but set very low expectations if you actually want decent tasting food. also, avoid foods that tend to be "high value" like seafood or sushi. it may be cheap, but it's because it tastes really bad/portion sizes are non-existent. read more

Def worth the price. They give you a free bowl of Japanese seaweed salad (one per table). I always order the chicken cutlet dandan porkbone soup ramen ($8.99). Plus it's 20% for the month of July/Aug. The ramen also comes with a spring roll. You can also ask for an extra small bowl of ramen noodles. And, there's free red bean or vanilla ice cream. If you pay by cash, it's 10% off. Vicinity members get up to $5 off for every $50 spent. For less than $10 you practically get an app, side, main, and dessert. Their food overall taste pretty good. Their service is occasionally slow. After coming here 20+ times, their service and food is very inconsistent. Sometimes they would run out of ice cream or spring rolls. And sometimes the bowl of ramen would be huge or smaller than usual ... But for most part it's the food is good and it's convenient considering they are open pretty late. read more

Update...I dont know what came over my mind but I decided to give this place a chance and get ramen takeout. Another disappointment indeed. The pork bone soup tasted so bad and not anything remotely close to what pork bone soup is supposed to taste like. The chicken cutlet was bland and I literally had to dip it into the soup to get some salty flavour. Same goes for the pork cutlet my friend got. We also ordered takoyaki and man that was bad. The balls weren't even crispy. read more

Foodie Fruitie is located on the second floor of 203 Lester, the building that lights up at night. The atmosphere is pretty big with good lighting and tables. It's a nice place to get some food and just hang out. They have ramen options, bento boxes, a la carte sushi, bubble teas, cakes and typical asian snacks like takoyaki and popcorn chicken. I've tried two different ramen bases, the Dandan Pork and the Tom Yum. The pork is a little too bland and greasy for my liking, and the Tom Yum is all right. I hear their curry one is good so that'll probably be the next one I try. Their ramen portions are quite large and apparently there's free noodle refills so it's definitely worth the price. If you order the chicken or pork cutlet, it will come in a little dish on the side. I thought the chicken cutlet was average but the bbq pork was tasty. Their ramen noodles aren't as chewy or thick like some of the downtown Toronto options but weren't bad. I definitely prefer Foodie Fruitie's ramen in comparision to Kenzo's. Overall, the ramen gets 3 out of 5 stars, great portion size and okay taste. I was really surprised with their a la carte sushi, it was actually surprisingly delicious (and the reason why I'm giving this place four stars). Their Dragon Rolls are so big and I've gone back twice to get the Black Dragon Roll because it's so delicious! (They put squid in which adds a unique taste to it that works well). The Golden Fried Roll is a dragon roll with torched salmon on top, it was tasty and just as big as the Black Dragon Roll. I've also gotten the Red Dragon Roll with the simply a Dragon Roll with roe on top. A la carte sushi is never cheap, but Foodie Fruitie's are definitely filling and in my opinion, worth the price. read more

Foodie Fruitie - Tom Yum Ramen with BBQ Pork - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

The location is conveniently located right at University Ave. and Lester St. Aka the Lester plaza. Not to mention the price here is remarkably low for students around campus. This usually ends up being the go-to place when I'm with friends, or if I want to get some quick take out on the way home from campus. I wouldn't recommend the ramen here. The ramen that comes with the spicy soup here is all spicy but no flavour. BUT I definitely would suggest getting their rice dishes. My favourites are the lemongrass chicken along with the curry pork cutlet which are only around $9 to $10. The sushi is also at a budget worthy price for those that crave it often. I remember getting one of the combos for around $14 however I'm not one to trust cheap sushi because we're dealing with raw fish over here. But I'm definitely okay with getting their California rolls! Service wise - I rate it anywhere from satisfactory to decent. Most of the time you get greeted upon arrival, but other times they stare at you until you say how many people need to be seated. Some servers could care less about what you want, others are right on point with what you want. It varies with each person that works there. read more

I've been here a couple of times because it is easy access from the 203 Lester Street building. Not sure why the reviews from this place is so bad (around 2.5 stars at the time of writing this review). The service could be a bit better but the food is fine and is one of the better places around the university if you ask me. 1. Food (4/5) The food is fairly priced. For around $8 - $11 a meal, you get the main dish, a salad, a soup, and a bowl of red bean ice cream if you ask for it at the end of the meal. I personally like the sushi combos which range from $10.99 - $13.99 depending on which one you get. Sushi combo A comes with 14 pieces, I think. It's actually pretty good and I would recommend it to my friends and family. The teriyaki dishes that the restaurant offers aren't too bad at all. If you're kind of thirsty. I recommend the avocado smoothie. It's really rich and creamy but at the same time, its rather healthy. However, food does take a while to come out for some reason. Depending on what you order, expect a 20 - 30min wait. 2. Service (4/5) I have yet to have a problem with their service. They do not ignore you in any way and are quick to react when you need something. The food does come out slow but I don't think that is the fault of the servers. Note: There's a service charge on credit cards. If you pay with cash, you get 5% off, and if you have a kw4rent card, its 10% off!! Overall (4/5) There's nothing wrong with the food here, and its actually a lot better than many places in the plaza across the street. You can find cheaper food in the plaza, but I think the price to quality on the food is a bit better than them! read more

This place is hit or miss, but in general I enjoy the food and the portions they serve for what they charge. I've been here well over 10 times simply for the reliability and a solid meal. You won't get the best of anything here, but you will definitely be satisfied, as they have a huge selection and the value is good. They often have specials that make it even more worth it.

This is a pretty cute restaurant that spans the entire second floor of linden square. They have a very wide variety of food featured in their menu, from sushi to ramen to fried rice to desserts to bubble tea. I think the sushi combos are quite worth it - delicious and quite a lot for around $13. The ramen is decent to good, though if you get the spicy ramen - beware, it is VERY spicy. I cried. They also have some board games here, so you can sit down here and chill for a while with something to do. read more

Tried their seafood boil menu today! Prices are around 1 dollar cheaper than other chains. Menu is a little smaller but not surprising since they have to keep their other existing extensive menu. They don't have clams :( but they have squid which I want to try next time. We ordered mussels with mild spicy house sauce / chilli oil sauce and potatoes. The sauce was DELICIOUS...very oily as expected but fragrant and great blend of spices. Potatoes were not just boiled but it tasted as if they were roasted first. Smaller count of mussels than others but still very meaty and filling. We also ordered lobster on promo for 15 dollars per POUND (didn't realize that and thought it was per lobster ) with potatoes in mild Thai sauce. I didn't really like the sauce ...a mix of sweet sour and watery. I ended up dipping the stuff back in my remaining house sauce. Gave a full lobster but the meat was stuck to shell and wasn't cracked enough for us so it was difficult to eat. Mushrooms were okay because the sauce didn't work well for it. Good service for this menu though. Gave lots of extra gloves and napkins, big bowl for shells, and trays for more mess. read more

Another sushi place close to where I live! I thought the sushi was decent, probably not up to other sushi places though. Also, their bubble tea is really good! They make the tapioca really good! I think this restaurant is more of a sit down restaurant though, so I'm not sure if you can get the bubble tea to go. If you want teriyaki or ramen, you probably want to go somewhere else in the plaza. The ramen is pretty awful. Other than the food, the place is looks really nice and clean! read more

Foodie Fruitie - BBQ Pork Ramen with pork bone broth 2/5 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Waterloo, Ontario

I dont know why this place has such bad reviews but my past experiences here weren't how others described. Food is decent, although I haven't tried the sushi... Nor do I think I ever will; just because I wont eat sushi unless it's at a japanese restaurant. Drinks were not bad, but I do think youre better off going to sweet dreams which is a 3 minute walk away. One thing that I do have to mention is that you shouldn't expect great service here. I've came here 4 times in 2 weeks. I wouldnt trust the sushi, only because it's not a japanese restaurant. I did enjoy the tong yum kung seafood ramen which is pretty good in my opinion. It's hard for me to find a tong yum kung soup base that I enjoy (I've been to many thai restaurants that have disappointed me) and was pleasantly surprised by the taste; very authentic. I agree that it's not the best ramen but I got lots of seafood!! (at least 5 shrimps) I also tried the udon + tempura. I did find the soup base salty though, but the price rivals that of Mr.Sushi's daily specials. Tempura was decent. The takoyaki was good and for the price I'm paying, I enjoyed it even more. Kenzo charges $10.00 for 6pcs and I'm only paying 3.99 here. The roasted milk tea with grass jelly was good. You could taste that it was roasted well, but the grass jelly could have been cut thinner. It was just a large chunk. On the multiple occasions that I've been here, I've always thought the service could be better. The wait to be seated is usually long because no one acknowledges you really. Was tempted to seat ourselves a couple of times. When we came here last night, they ran out of caps for the water jug and didnt give us a lemon in the water. In addition, I felt that we'd usually have to call someone over when we wanted anything. Overall, food is decent/good. Service could be better. But this place is very affordable. $8.99 for a teriyaki tofu and it comes with a lot of things (+ ice cream). read more

Foodie Fruitie has a bit of an odd name but is a great spot in Waterloo! It's in the plaza by right by UW and has things such as ramen and sushi. The prices are great! The sushi combos are a great choice in terms of value, as they come with soup, salad, and many pieces. Once you are seated they bring over a small plate of seaweed salad (refills are $1) and water in big bottles with cups. After the meal there is complimentary red bean ice cream! It can sometimes be hard to get the server's attention. The bubble tea selection is also very large read more

Got a mango slush and it was so expensive and tasted bad. It was super watered down. I wanted a regular and the guy charged me a large and when I told him it was actually a regular size he said (really rudely) "it's only a dollar more...". Then he told me it was 20 cents to use debit and the slush became like over $7. I could get a full meal for $7 wtf. The first time I went was like 3 months ago and my friend got overcharged for her drink and they told her they couldn't fix it because she had already paid. In the end her cake, tea, and little appetizer thing was like $20. It's super close to my house but I don't think I'll come here ever again. Food quality is shit, and super expensive. If you want asian food go to any of the places in the plaza. If you want bubble tea or desserts go to sweet dreams/williams. read more

TLDR: awesome new find, large range of Asian cuisine! We decided to check out some of the new stores, and came across this place. I was impressed by how clean and well run everything was. This place provides a strong variety of Asian cuisine, but from the few things I've tried there I really liked their Teriyaki Dinner Set because it's delicious and an excellent deal for under $10 :) [It comes with a sizable portion of sizzling Teriyaki Chicken, steamed rice, Miso soup and a salad.] I'm also looking forward to trying their ramen at some point! Food quality overall was on point, but the one pre-caution I would raise is to verify your order carefully after they take it; we've gotten the wrong dish before (and apparently its common). The service was extremely nice, and they give you free red bean ice cream with your meal! :) read more

Man the reviews are so low for this place. I LOVED IT! Its the go to place for waterloo students but I just went because food in Guelph sucks. Well asian food in guelph that is. We ordered a whole bunch of stuff. The sushi, ramen, popcorn chicken, and lamb skewers. No complaints at all. They each had something good about it. The ramen was actually my fav item. I love how you get the free ice cream at the end. Great way to end a meal. The take out drinks are also pretty decent. Just trying to figure out where its legal to park for this building. I will come again for sure. See you this winter. 5 stars ***** read more

I'm going to keep it short and simple here on here: Service: VERY BAD. The staff is always on their phones messing around or behind the bar having casual conversations. There have gotten orders wrong, and sometimes they forget the order completely! When you ask the staff to follow up on the order or tell them the order is wrong all they say is "It's not my fault." I find them very rude... Food: It's pretty average. The flavouring is okay on most of their items (I've tried a few things from each section from here) but what disappoints me the most is the quality of their ingredients. The beef they serve is very low end; tastes very stale and old. Their sushi is full of rice, and does not include that many ingredients which is very disappointing. Overall I would not return because of how rude and inefficient the staff are here! If you are looking for take-out foodie fruitie maybe okay but if you want a place to sit down and eat... STAY AWAY. read more

3 stars mainly because they deliver for orders over $30 before tax The food not that good. I ordered the seafood udon in chicken broth. It came with 6-7 shrimps, couple pieces of octopus and half a marinated egg. The broth was very salty and filled with MSG. I kept drinking water for a good 5 hours after. My friends had the fried rice and udon and they both complained about their dishes to be too oily. read more

I've been here twice. We tried the sushi combo and the chicken teriyaki combo the first time, and the second time we got a dynamite roll, eel fried rice and the octopus balls. This place is okay. I'm always craving sushi (not ayce) and foodie fruitie is closely and reasonably priced. But for some reason I never leave feeling "satisfied". Maybe their portions are small, or maybe cause their fish and ingredients aren't that fresh. I would go back again for a quick bite since it's like a one stop for all foods (bbt, ramen, sushi, quick bites, rice dishes,etc.) read more

The ramen here is ok but I had better... Their broth is very salty and watery. The only upside is that the proportion sizes are pretty big for me personally.

I don't think that I will be coming back again. read more

I've only been here once so far, but I'd definitely come again. I ordered the Beef Teriyaki rice box and I enjoyed it. It came with a decent amount for $9.99 and I got 5% off for paying with cash. I like how it also comes with kimchi. I know it's a japanese style dish but I like kimchi with anything. Actually, I'm pretty sure you can order any dish and still ask for kimchi for no extra charge. It's a little spicier and sour than most places though. I haven't tried any of their drinks or desserts since my group of friends had bubble tea elsewhere beforehand, but maybe next time. For the price you pay, I'd say this is a decent place to eat. It's not terrible and the decor is actually really nice and clean. The service is great too. Our waitress and food runner were very nice and attentive. She was quick to clear our finished dishes off the table and always responded to our needs really quickly. She noticed we were staying afterwards to play cards and immediately offered to wipe our table for us. The only thing that took away from this experience was how long it took for my friend's ramen to come out. We had all gotten our food already and were almost 1/3 done before her meal came. I tried a little bit after and it is spicy as hell! I feel like the food takes time to come from here, but unless you come ready to pass out from hunger, it's not too bad of a wait. read more

I come to Foodie Fruitie quite often only because it's at a very convenient location close to campus. I've gotten a few things here before which includes the ramen, fried rice, sushi, and the green tea latte. The food quality definitely goes down when it gets busier. However, the wait times are acceptable (around 15-20 minutes to get your order). In terms of the ramen, it's definitely not up to par to the ones in the downtown Toronto locations. They've changed their noodles since they first opened, but the change doesn't make much of a difference. The broth tastes quite salty, so I would not recommend you to drink it if you can. I've tried both the ramen with the pork dandan soup and the curry soup, and I felt that the latter tasted better. The taste of the pork dandan soup was a bit bland when I got it. I've ordered the chicken and BBQ pork fried rice before. I was very disappointed in the chicken fried rice because I felt like they used a ton of oil, and it tasted pretty bland as well. The BBQ pork fried rice definitely had more flavour to it. I've had the sushi combo B and C and the fire red dragon roll. Even though they use Itamae containers for takeout, I haven't had any problems with the food. The sushi combos are definitely filling. The taste is decent, but you can get better sushi elsewhere. The green tea latte I got wasn't what I expected. I tasted a lot of milk, and barely any green tea flavour, so I will not be ordering that again. The staff is generally friendly. However, there was an incident where their debit machine broke. You would generally expect an established business to have another machine, but they did not. The staff told us to use the ATM on the first floor of the food court, but we had to inform them that there was a $2 charge; they did not seem to be aware of this initially. Thus, they decided to give us 10% off for the combined bill and decided to cover our ATM charge after some convincing. (Note that you already normally get around a 5% discount if you pay with cash.) Other than this somewhat poorly-handled situation, I would revisit Foodie Fruitie if I ever need to grab takeout without having to walk to the University Plaza. read more

Food is quite good, but the poor service really convinced me to never come again. I have been here three times, and the service seems to worsen each time. I noticed the first time how late the food arrived, and it became more pronounced the second time. On the third time, it was a busy evening but it seems they were too cheap to get more staff on board. The servers seemed perpetually busy. The server was not diligent with recording our orders the first time and we had to tell them of the missing order 20 minutes after when we realized the food will not come... We finally got all our food 35 minutes after ordering. The restaurant should definitely consider getting more competent servers during peak hours so that food turnaround is higher and customer service is better! read more
