It was lunch so I got basically the lunch special choice of 3. I got vegetable chow mein, they use the very thin noodles which makes so much difference they are so much better than the big fat round noodles you get at a low of Chinese spots in America. The fried rice was good, reminds me of old fashioned fried rice. The honey garlic chicken was good nice crisp to it. Overall good meal, not super fine dining, not super authentic but good eats. The vibes were immaculate, the host had epic 80's rocker hair I loved it.

The wonton soup was to die for. So flavorful and fresh. The wontons melted in the mouth. The chowmein was good but felt a little bit over-sauteed. I enjoyed the chopseuy though. It was perfectly seasoned and nicely paired with the chowmein. The prawn tempura style side dishes were average. So was the honey chilli meatballs. The quantity was a lot and definitely sent us home with takeaways for the next day.

Food is passable but the meal was not to my wife's liking (all batter, no meat). Manager got quite snotty with my wife saying that the customers like their food "crunchy". Eventually offered a replacement but charged her for 2 meals! Not a very good way to treat customers. This was the last straw for me; not going back.

They informed us that the kitchen is closed. This is bad business. If your kitchen isn't open 45 minutes before closing, on a regular basis, then change your hours. Our family was relying on getting food from Halibut House. Had we known this would happen, we would have planned ahead and picked up from JJ Wonton downtown (their food is far better anyways). Now, we don't have time to travel there before it closes. All in all, I'm pretty disappointed in the staff and owners of this place. We have been regulars, but I think this latest episode has ended that.

We arrived at about 3 and was promptly seated. We ordered the XLB, a beef noodle stew, and a pork noodle soup. The food was good. I liked their XLB as it was very soupy. The beef stew stew noodle soup was nice and beefy. It had plenty of beef and tendon. Service was good. We observed the boss lady. The boss lady was good. She knew all her regular customers and even knew what they regularly order. Ox King is a good restaurant. We liked it.

Food was delicious! My braised beef noodle soup was tender and Shrimp Thai Curry Noodles were very good. Not a place we would have picked by just walking-by (nothing fancy) but so VERY GLAD a local pointed us in right direction for an excellent meal!!!

I was really hoping to love I Kyu Noodles, but unfortunately, our experience fell short…read more We stopped by on a quiet summer Sunday around 11 a.m., when not too many other places in Chinatown were open. There was only one other table seated, so we were able to get a table right away. The menu is quite large, and we ordered the pork dan dan noodles and garlic cucumber salad. Service was very slow. It seemed like there may have only been one person cooking, as dishes came out one at a time, and ours arrived about 30 minutes after ordering. When the food did arrive, the flavors didn't quite land. The dan dan noodles were bland, and the cucumber salad tasted more like plain cucumber with some sauce; it didn't seem marinated or seasoned. A friend who used the washroom mentioned it was in rough shape and lacked a way to properly wash hands. Thankfully, she had hand sanitizer with her. I really wanted to support this spot, but between the underwhelming food, long wait, and lack of cleanliness, I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending it at this time. I hope they're able to make some improvements.

Sweet and sour pork and vegetables with meat had flavour. Partner was not happy with food. Soy sauce added to make food tasty. Usually when I order from most other restaurants I never add soy sauce because food is tasty when dish arrives. Plus most chefs are offended when you add condiment before tasting a dish. Chinese tea and fortune cookies were provided. Restaurant only had a couple of other sit down diners when we arrived. Staff was nice. Will order different dishes and dishes with with BBQ meat if I ever go back to see if cooks were having an off day today. Been awhile since I ate here. Entire bill was paid but my partner wanted cost reduced due to disappointment of dishes. Tables were a bit tight for larger parties but everybody appeared to be enjoying themselves still. Steady flow of customers that were tourists and locals to pick up, delivery service and purchased goods (meat and pastries) to enjoy outside of restaurant. Walls were nicely painted. Tables were clean. Located in Chinatown where there is street and parking lots. Partner is interested in trying meats at home in the future. In the past I purchased their BBQ meats, duck, etc. along with pastries to enjoy at home that were always tasty.

Ordered beef and brocolli which was perfectly tender and fresh broccoli however could have used a touch more salt but nothing a little soy sauce couldn't fix. Also ordered chicken chow Mien and my son devoured the entire dish! When tasting a small portion he left me I could see why, incredibly tender chunks of chicken, delicious flavour and very little oil. Third and last dish was the honey garlic pork. Large chunks of pork with minimal yet crispy and flavourful breading. And the real winner was the provided fortune cookies without having to ask for them! My little one gets very upset if no fortune cookies are provided. Definitely a sweet little gem of a restaurant for take out or delivery that takes pride in their food.
