Back in March, I entered a contest for a $50 gift card from Country Boy Family Restaurant. In April, I was notified that I had won it. Yay! I was advised that this gift card would be "at the front desk, so feel free to collect it at any time." Cool! This past Saturday, I did a day trip to Kitchener. It felt like old times visiting this area. There were the usual busy spots along highway 401, so the trip ended up taking me two hours to drive over to Kitchener from Markham. I had no problem finding this eatery. I backed into a parking spot and walked over. This eatery has two entrances that form a sort of indoor waiting area. Signage was great, as I found a second door to enter. It was worn from a lot of usage! I got to the front counter. It had a welcome message on the screen. A woman from behind the drink area let me know that she'd be over soon. I wasn't in a rush. This woman, Marina, ended up being my server. She greeted me at the front desk. She was naturally a positive woman. I let her know that I had a gift card to pick up. I told her my name. She checked. It wasn't here. She said that maybe it wasn't ready. Um, no. 1.5 months is more than enough time to put together a gift card. I showed her the conversation that I had someone at this restaurant through an online chat. What she did was took out two gift certificates (it wasn't a gift card) out of an envelope for someone else and gave them two me. Each gift certificate was worth $25. That was quick thinking on her part to fix an avoidable issue. My thinking is that this swap may have been used for my original gift certificates. Anyway, she seated me at a comfortable booth. It felt like every table was a booth here. There are screens where you can watch CP 24. I got a menu. It felt extensive as I leafed through everything. My first though was to get crab cake benedict. Well, all that changed when I saw the hot beef sandwich. Yes, please! I wanted to use my gift certificates for this entire visit. I placed an order to immediately enjoy at the eatery and another order to take home for dinner. My order consisted of these items: - Diet Pepsi - Hot beef sandwich - Spaghetti with meat sauce, with meatballs (takeout) I did pretty well. My order was $52 before tipping. My Diet Pepsi came out first. It was cold and fizzy. I got another refill during my time dining in. My hot beef sandwich came with veggies and a starch. I could choose from fries, home fries, and rice. I chose home fries. My plate looked amazing. My hot beef sandwich had sliced beef piled high, between two slices of white bread, and gravy poured over it. It was excellent. The beef gravy had a touch of sweetness to it, which was different, but yummy. The veggies were steamed and perfectly cooked. They went in the gravy. The highlight side was the home fries. They were potatoes that were sliced and pan-fried. They had a ton of flavour, almost as if they were cooked with a splash of soy sauce. They were crispy and super filling. I got my dinner packed in a paper bag. I was happy. The bag was hefty. I paid my bill with a credit card. I tipped and tapped. Done! I used the washroom after I got seated at my booth and before I left the eatery. The women's washroom was clean. Signage to get there was clear. No issues. I put my dinner in an insulated reusable bag. It was still warm when I took it out at home. My dinner was packed with a lot of care. I got my food in two aluminum round containers. It was carefully sealed. There was absolutely no sauce leakage. My spaghetti with meat sauce had four meatballs that I ordered as an add-on in the sauce. This entire meal was comforting. The spaghetti was al dente. The meatballs were large, delicious, and homemade. The meat sauce was excellent and flavourful. The downside? It came with bread. I don't know if it should have been garlic toast. There was no garlic flavour. Frankly, it barely had any butter or oil on it. It was weird. I heated the slices up. I then dunked them into the meat sauce. So much better! The food was great, minus the toasted bread. The gift card/certificate issue needs work and this confusion could have been avoided. Saying that it would be there at the front desk and it wasn't put a damper on my introduction to this eatery right off the bat. (210)

The interior is very cute here - the menu is handwritten on a chalkboard and they have stuffed animals on sale at the side. We came here at around 30 minutes before closing time so unfortunately we were only able to get takeout. There was plenty of available seating though and the restaurant was clean and tidy. We decided to order the cold noodles (liang pi) and the yo po noodles which came up to a total of $16. You get to play rock paper scissors with the cashier, and if you win you get 5% off your order. Portions were huge for the price and the food smelled so good! The noodles itself were quite chewy and carried the sauce well. I think both dishes were a tad too oily though, and it also tasted more sour than spicy. I probably won't order these dishes again, but I noticed they serve other interesting dishes on their menu like peking duck pork wraps and pork patties - I might just give it another try when I'm in the area!

Convenient place for a hot and spicy lunch/dinner. Price is slightly more expensive but they also give large portions. Would recommend the standard meal combos over custom orders due to difference in price. Their 麻辣烫（malatang）are a staple, but the pickled cabbage fish casserole left a better impression on me. Though that might be because I had their malatang too many times aha Overall a homey meal, but personally find it a tad expensive for something I could make at home. Would recommend for cold winter nights.

First time I had ordered via Uber Eats, and was delighted by the taste of the Biriyani that I ordered, very well cooked and packaged. I visited the place two days later in person. The place has a full bar, and good seating arrangements, and has South Indian music playing. They had a menu with many South Indian speciality items. Service was friendly and super quick, I felt that the tables were a bit smaller than normal. We ordered a chicken lollipop, Goat Chukka Biriyani, Garlic Naan and Beef Chukka Masala curry. The biriyani, naan and lollipop are all made perfectly and tasted great. I don't recommend the beef chukka masala. Highly recommend this place for delicious Indian food if you are in Kitchener Ontario.
