So wow - after all the build up I feel bad giving this truck a 3! But please understand, a 3 is…read moreA-OK! I liked it, I just didn't love it. The food is high quality - often locally sourced and organic. Dahl soup was tasty, with just a hint of heat from the spice. Chicken taco filling was tasty but... and I think this is where I'm struggling... I am realizing that I really don't like soft tacos. Something about the texture of the taco itself puts me off. I'm sitting here trying to decide if I'm being fair giving them a three because of my preference for taco shells. I guess what I'm saying is: take my review with a (proverbial) grain of salt. Would love to see a garbage can and recycling bin put out. Since they are located on the UOttawa campus during school year, plan to bus/walk to get there. (Parking is a pain during the week.) If you get off at Campus Station 2B, Sweetpea (the truck) is really close by. (Don't take my word for it though - things change, so make sure you check on that.) Staff was great. They have 2 tables and about 6 chairs for people who want to sit and eat for a bit. Would I return: Yes. I'd love to go again when it's not Taco Thursday, to try to get a different menu item. Would I recommend: Yup - if you like healthy choices that are locally sourced and organic, this is a great option.

I was immediately drawn to the Donald Duck dish (duck breast) and it was delicious. I wish there was more on the half size plate, because I finished it so fast. The duck was juicy and had a perfect amount of fat on it. And the veggies & garnishes were a great addition to the meal! Our server was very kind and helpful, and we loved the vibe of the place (inside and out). It's also located on a really cute street that's only for pedestrians!

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.

I recommend anyone looks for a nice Indian meal to do the same. I was greeted by the chef. He explained the menu to me. I have to be careful with some foods because of allergies.

I did not feel rushed, and the food came out in decent time as well. I had the lamb Roganjosh and some curried vegetables with some papadum. The lamb was tender and not stringy.
