Everything was pretty good; however, the spice could have been kicked up a little bit…read more My biggest complaint isn't really a complaint but a heads up: they don't do family style meals which is really strange for Korean restaurants. So, I would only go back to In's Kitchen if I was by myself (or someone with whom I wasn't close) and wanted a simple lunch. That said, the food was good and the service was friendly.

I love Korean food, so was excited to hear about a new Korean restaurant. I got some takeout for my…read morehusband and I for dinner and overall the food was really good, but I found the prices a bit high, but I guess everything is expensive these days. I got the Beef Bulgogi Dinner ($22) and the Dakgalbi Dinner ($22). The Beef Bulgogi Dinner came with beef bulgogi, salad, Kimchi, pickled radishes, rice and a canned drink (I got a grapefruit Bubly). The Dakgalbi Dinner came with rice, a salad and a canned drink (I got a strawberry Bubly). I asked for no sesame seeds in the food and this request was gladly accommodated. The Beef Bulgogi was tasty. The meat was lean and not gristley like at some places. There was a tad too much onions in this dish for my liking, but it was still very good and and huge hit with my husband. The Dakgalbi was a bit spicy, nothing crazy though, not even lip tingles, lol, just a bit of a kick. The chicken was dark meat, but not too fatty. It had cabbage, sweet potatoes and rice cakes shaped like tubes. It was delicious. I loved the soft and chewy rice cakes. The salads were mostly shredded cabbage with pickled radishes. The salad dressing, served on the side by default, was a tangy citrus dressing. I really enjoyed it and loved that it came on the side without me having to request it that way. The cabbage was crunchy and fresh. The rice was purple rice and tasted good. The kimchi was mild, crunchy and not too pungent. I liked it. The pickled radishes were good too, not too sour. Service was courteous and friendly. They make the food to order. I'm really hoping they add Japchae to the menu and they are able to make it without sesame seeds, since at most restaurants it's premade and covered in sesame seeds and I can never have it, lol. In's Kitchen is across from the University of Ottawa Henderson Residences and very close to the campus. I'm sure it's popular with the students. The inside of the restaurant nice and it's more spacious than you would expect from looking at it from the outside. There's some outdoor seating as well. Street parking only.

My husband and I had dinner here and it was excellent…read more I had the Beef and Spring rolls Vermicelli ($12.75) from the Vietnamese menu, while my husband had the Combination Plate with General Tao Chicken and Mixed Vegetables ($14.75) from the Chinese menu. The grilled beef and spring rolls vermicelli was legit! It was so tasty. The beef was flavourful and also moist and juicy, yet lean and not fatty nor gristely at all. The best of all worlds! I loved the beef and cannot rave enough about it. The spring rolls were good too. Crispy on the outside, with ground pork, vermicelli, onions and carrots inside. The wrapper was the more common wheat wrapper as opposed to the rarer rice paper wrapper, which is in my opinion more delicious, but admittedly not as popular here in Ottawa. The vermicelli was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying vegetables (cucumber, carrots, lettuce and mint) were fresh. I asked for no bean sprouts. I also asked for no fish sauce and was asked if I wanted peanut sauce instead, and I accepted. The peanut sauce was delicious. It didn't have that hoisin flavour that some peanut sauces have that I don't like. It wasn't too rich, but was full of peanut flavour. The portion size of the vermicelli bowl was good too. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. My husband's dish was very Westernized Chinese Food, but it was good for what it was. I had a piece of the General Tao Chicken and it was a bit spicy, but mostly sweet. I liked it. The mixed vegetables were good, but nothing remarkable IMO. I found the chicken fried rice a bit on the salty side. My husband enjoyed his meal though. I think that Vietnamese food is their specialty and more authentic. The Chinese food is more Westernized. Given that this restaurant is in a strip mall in Kanata North, I think the Westernized food is to accomodate the desires of the local clientele. They have chopsticks as part of the place settings, but also forks and knives ;) Service was courteous and efficient. Decor is simple and it's a very casual eatery. It is wheelchair accessible. They serve wine and beer. If you're in Kanata North and craving some good Vietnamese food, you don't have to travel far, there's Phu-Yen! With all due respect, I was a bit surprised to find this gem in a nondescript strip mall in suburbia ;) Lots of free parking in the strip mall.

No way of checking until you get home but restaurant got order wrong…read more Was supposed to have Cantonese Chow Mein but got chicken balls instead. I've been trying to replace my original Chinese restaurant for over 2 years and was hoping they might be the one. The other parts of our order were very good so I may just try them one more time to see of their Chow Mein is up to scratch. My order i.d. was 91282

Bottom line up front: Really good food, better than fair pricing, friendly fast service…read more Went there around 6pm on a Saturday. The place was occupied but not full. I had a Spicy Potato Noodle soup. I had asked for extra spicy, it was just incredibly flavorful, they didn't sacrifice the flavor for simple burn. My daughter had the potato salad, and a special request for a roasted chicken breast and chili sauce on the side. They happily accommodated her. The service was friendly, and patiently explained their menu options. And suggested the soup for me. I said "I'm hungry, I like spicey, and there's not much I won't eat." The bill was so low, I thought there was a mistake. I will go again, and try more options. I may have found my favorite place in this city for spicy soups.

I came in and was sat down immediately. They brought me a jug of water pretty quickly and get me the menu. I noticed during weekdays they have specials for around $10 Mon-Fri starting at 11:30am to about 5pm. I ended up deciding to try one of the burgers with a noodle bowl. I believe I got the egg burger and also the spicy potato noodle soup. I got the spicy soup first. It was pretty decent and at $13 you can do a lot worse in town. Soup wasn't bland as that was my biggest concern. There was some veg and various fish and beef balls. I had finished this and then the egg burger came out. I totally forgot about this. I wasn't sure what to expect. I had never had one of these and I'd not order this again. I just wanted to try it. Just tasted like hard boiled eggs mashed onto a chinese burger. Staff are really friendly and I'd bump this place up to a 3.5. Would check it out if you're in the area and a budget friendly option.

I honestly don't understand how this place is still operating…read more They also list themselves under two different names on Uber Eats -- "Papaspicy" and "Ann's Donburi" -- which is very confusing. It makes me question how transparent this business is. What made the experience worse was the order issue. I ordered rice, but I received noodles instead. When I called the owner to clarify, I was simply told they "don't even have noodles," and there was no apology at all. Instead, it felt like they were suggesting I was lying, even though I had received a fully packaged order exactly as delivered. I even tried to be reasonable and suggested it might have been an employee mistake and that I could pick up the correct order myself, but there was no response or attempt to resolve the issue. Overall, this experience was very disappointing. I would not recommend ordering from here because there seems to be no guarantee of order accuracy or basic customer service.
