Four and a half stars is just about right here. Great value, good to great food, delightful service. The food was almost perfect, save for the blandness of the Singapore noodles. I'm guessing they cater to unadventurous suburban tastes, given their location. I'm going to ask that they kick it up a notch next order.

The broth is flavorful, the meat is high quality and with large portions. I don't like having to pay for the sauce station but overall this is my favorite hot pot in Ottawa presently. We got a two sided soup, 2 plates of meat, bamboo, tofu, lotus root, cabbage, mushrooms and access to the sauce and the price came to about $100 before tax and tip.

It ends up being more expensive than other AYCE locations when you tally up the dishes, but you do have the option to choose "half portions" (menu pricing is for full portion).

Hands down impressed with this new place!…read more I have to give them credit for being the ONLY Chinese restaurant in Ottawa that serves a proper & authentic free run chicken dish! The food arrived piping hot and everything was cooked perfectly HK style. Ordered via UberEats last night for the first time. I didn't have high expectations given the options of Chinese food in Ottawa but they left me impressed. Will definitely be ordering again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

So I think we were the first customers (walk-in) of the day l. I ordered the Singapore fried noodle and my husband ordered a 3 choices combo. So we are from Toronto and a friend of ours told us this is the best Chinese food in the area (we stayed at a hotel close to the airport as downtown is getting a bit dodgy and this place is takeout only which is perfect as we just brought them back to the room. Boy oh boy aren't the food tasty!!! Made fresh so it's still steamy hot when we opened the container, it just fit the name from English (filled with the hot and steamy flavor from the 'wok'). If you are in the area and would like some hearty Chinese food, this is the place to go, trust me!

Having grown up in Markham, a city where every other restaurant serves Cantonese food, I have very…read morehigh expectations of authentic Cantonese food. Ng's has become the staple option in Ottawa and by Ottawa standards, is likely one of the best the city has to offer. I've been completely turned off by Ottawa dim sum so my review is based on their dishes. The standard go-to items are pepper salt squid, sweet and sour pork, seafood chow mein, stir fried king mushrooms with pork jowl and the taro duck. Most of the dishes have wok hei, the distinct charred aroma that skilled chefs capture through the ingredients and oil meeting the intense heat of a wok flame. The flavour and quality have been consistent through the years and the menu is large and well priced though occasionally the food is a touch more greasy or lacking in wok hei. Seafood specials can be found on a big chalkboard on one of the walls, though it is only written in Chinese so you'll have to ask about it if you can't read it. PS. 10% discount for cash payments!

We waited…read moreabout 20 minutes to be seated, even though a few tables were clearly vacant but just not cleaned, a bit frustrating, clearly understaffed. The layout seems to cater more to larger parties, so smaller groups may feel a little out of place. Unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. It took over 10 minutes just to receive a menu after we sat down, and we had to wave someone down multiple times for basic things like tea refills. (Even with the lid open... the universal sign for "more tea," no one came.) The staff didn't seem very attentive or interested in checking in, which made asking for help feel like we were being a bother. Several dishes, like the deep-fried squid, spring rolls, and egg tarts, arrived already cooled off, as if they'd been sitting around for a while. Not ideal. Prices weren't cheap either, so it was hard to justify the overall experience. All in all, pretty underwhelming. Not rushing back.

TL;DR/The Short Version: It's slim pickings for dim sum in…read moreOttawa and this place is the best I've had here (that is still open). Not as good as in Toronto or the GTA, obviously. Order only, no carts pushed around. The Long Version: I took my mom here for dim sum because she loves dim sum. We got there at opening on a Friday. We were thrilled to discover that Happy Hour was Monday to Friday 11am (opening) to 2pm. During Happy Hour, all Small, Medium and Large items were $5.95 (which is the regular price of Small items). Otherwise, medium items are $6.55 and large items are $6.95. We ordered 8 items. We might have overdid it, lol, but we managed to finish everything! Here's the rundown on what we had: Shrimp Siu Mai: easily the best item of the lot. Four big and juicy shrimp balls wrapped in a wonton wrapper and steamed. So delicious! Shrimp Dumplings: these are Har Gow. The wrapper was not chewy but rather starchy and ripped easily. However, the filling was excellent. Very similar to the Shrimp Siu Mai filling. All shrimp, no bamboo filler. Chicken feet: I did not eat any. Too creepy looking, lol. However, my Mom enjoyed them. She said they chopped them up into smaller pieces than at other places though and she didn't like this as much. Glutinous rice with chicken: glutinous rice with ground chicken and tiny pieces of mushrooms, wrapped in lotus leaf and steamed. It was ok, but was too filling, as it's mostly rice. I don't regret trying it, but I wouldn't personally order this again. Radish cakes: crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. Small pieces of preserved sausage mixed in. I enjoyed these. Rice rolls: we got a shrimp one and a beef one. They were identical except for the filling. The rice rolls were soft and tasty. The fillings were good. The shrimp ones had 2-3 shrimp per roll. The beef was more a beef paste, not actual slices of beef. Deep fried shrimp rolls: they were shrimp spring rolls. Crispy on the outside with ground shrimp filling. I enjoyed the sweet, sour and spicy dipping sauce. Service was good. My mom noticed that some people who arrived after us got served before us (and ordered some items we had ordered too), but they appeared to be regulars or maybe friends of the staff/owners. We didn't wait too long for our food, so I wasn't really bothered by it. I loved that they gave us a whole pitcher of water. Saved us having to ask for refills throughout the meal. So they put 2 pieces of paper on the table for you with a pen. One of the papers is for you to indicate what you want. The other paper is for them to keep track of when you ordered, what you ordered and what's outstanding after they bring you your food, since plates are brought out one or two at a time. The place is a good size and I loved the high ceilings with cool chandeliers. There's a nice mural on the back wall with what looks to be the CN Tower. Ah, a little slice of my hometown ;) The space is reminiscent of the Chinese restaurants in the GTA that are also banquet halls that are popular for Asian weddings, but on a bit of a smaller scale. And while most of the restaurant looks nice, along the walls and at the corners of the restaurant they do store some items in plain sight and it feels less nice as a result. The restaurant is in a plaza, so there's lots of free parking. (165)
