    Exterior at night. Patio in front.
    Michelle L.

    It's a little surprising to me that there are 2 Wimpy's within a 10 minute drive from each other. The one on Rylander has probably been around for 20+ years. This newer one is located in the Whites Road Center plaza. There aren't a lot of late night eats located in Pickering. It seems like everything that isn't fast food closes around 9pm. Wimpy's is open till 11pm and serves all day breakfast as well! The menu has a lot of "American" type classics - pasta, burgers, and sandwiches, on top of all the breakfast foods. We called and ordered 1lb of garlic parmesan wings and the chicken and waffles. We were quoted a time of 12 minutes before our order was ready. We showed up to lots of parking around 9pm in the plaza. They do have a patio outdoors but it's absolutely frigid so you know. After you enter the double doors going in, there are tables blocking off the rest of the restaurant. There was a TV listing out their Covid precautions and hand sanitizer around. A server came out to greet us here. The inside of the restaurant is actually really cool. Aside from that diner feel with the retro tables and chairs, the art around the walls is a mash up of old school icons (think Elvis and Marilyn Monroe) with comic culture. When I say mash up, I mean like Superman is IN the photo with Elvis. It's really unique. They had a really great system for payment. The server took out a fresh plastic bag and covered the terminal, protecting the server and us! Our order was packaged in biodegradable paper boxes or sturdy reusable plastic boxes and in an easy to carry paper bag with handles. I appreciated their commitment to being environmentally friendly. In terms of the food, I really enjoyed the wings. The chicken pieces were on the larger side of things I've seen. The breading was thick and crunchy. The sauce was cheesy and garlicky without being super saucy. Very tasty. They come with fries and I was able to upgrade to a poutine. There was a lot of gravy and real cheese curds on the poutine. The only thing were that the fries didn't really stay together very well. They were very starchy. As for the chicken and waffles, the waffles unfortunately didn't do too well and transit and were a tiny bit soggy. The chicken pieces were fried chicken breast pieces without bones. I thought the seasoning in the breading was good so it wasn't just a fried piece of chicken. There was some real flavour behind it. Overall I was really impressed with the quality of the food, the safety precautions they were taking, and the cool environment of the restaurant.

    Their breakfast was really good. They also have a breakfast special that only $6.99. Great price. Service was okay a little slow but the food was good.!

The waitress is always friendly and refills our coffees. She was handling our group of 12 and was amazing at rushing orders in and later splitting the bills with no issues. Pancakes are a staple here, large and almost taking up the whole plate, garnished with all the sugary toppings any kid will love. My kids must be spoiled by my home pancakes as they found these to be tough and not as fluffy as what they're used to. They didn't enjoy it but loved the eggs, bacon, hash and burgers. I always go for a Hash dish, it's such a hearty meal. This time the eggs were over cooked and didn't ooze into the mess and meats and potatoes but still tasted delicious. The strawberry jam was runnier here than other places but still a delicious mess on their thick sliced toast. We enjoyed it, the large group got all their food together fast. Didn't feel rushed here despite how busy they were all morning.

We ordered eggs benedict with by far the best Hollandaise sauce you can get. The poached eggs were medium with lots of yolk to spread on the peameal bacon and english muffin. The shredded potato hashbrown is addictive and massive portions. The baked beans were nice and warm to compliment your breakfast. I ordered the 3 eggs over easy with 3 sausages and 3 bacon. They actually serve 4 eggs which I assume they are using medium sized eggs. That's OK as the extra makes up for the smaller eggs. You get a choice of toast ( white, whole wheat or rye) along with shredded potato hashbrowns or home fries. My mother-in-law ordered the Western Omelet with ham and onion. She really enjoyed the dish and she managed to eat almost half of the dish. The coffee is bottomless and the service is very friendly. I suggest dressing up for the cold weather because you might have to lineup outside the restaurant. I don't think they take reservations and it's first come first serve.

I ordered the Wake Up Call $16.95 4 eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 3 breakfast sausages, 2 slices of ham, and pancakes. Please note the server asked me if I wanted chocolate chip or blueberry pancakes. I chose blueberry and was charged an additional $2.50. It would be nice if the server told me the upcharge for the blueberry pancakes. My wife who was celebrating her birthday got the Rooster benedict which came avocado and bacon. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly soft and Hollandaise sauce was on point. Their coffee is really good and bottomless. We had like 3 cups of coffee. Overall we enjoyed the breakfast and the service here is friendly. The dining area is your typical grease spoon type of diner. I recommend coming here for your brunch fix. They also have a lunch menu with some burgers, sandwiches, wraps, poutines, fish n chips and chicken n waffles.

This time, it was their new Japanese Fried Chicken Karaage, available in several flavours: Classic, Teriyaki, Sweet Heat, Maple Jalapeño, and Hot Yuzu. They were all delicious and are available as small plates or meal-sized. It was hard to pick a favourite. We also tried their Egg Sando, and Miso Udon Carbonara. As good as everything was, the udon dish turned out to be my favourite. Those flavours really appealed to me. Maybe it was the generous amount of crispy bacon in it! No visit to Fuwa Fuwa would be complete without having some of their delicious beverages. We had the Butterfly Pea Latte, Strawberry Matcha Latte, and Dragon Fruit Refresher. Everything tasted great!

    Tip: This cafe has ube baked goods and Japanese meals…read more A few Saturdays ago, I was at Chuck's Roadhouse for lunch. Afterwards, I drove around the plaza to figure out what businesses were there. I was happy to see Fuwa Fuwa Dessert Cafe. I had flagged coming here. Well, it took a gathering of three friends with me to visit this cafe last Thursday. I had only visited the Fuwa Fuwa location in Vaughan. This one in Pickering is special for a bunch of reasons. There was lots of parking at 6 pm on a Thursday evening that was threatening freezing rain. Luckily, we only got rain. Yay! I backed into a tight parking spot. The tight part was due to a snowbank that was in front of the row of parking. I threw out some garbage from my car into a receptacle near this business. I saw one of my friends in the cafe already. Another one said hi to me when I grabbed the door. Our third friend came in a few minutes later. We are a punctual group. It was nice. I looked at the desserts display that I was sitting next to. First, it's deadly to be that close to baked goods. Second, there was a lot of ube. This cafe has Filipino and Japanese influences in its menu offerings. It's cool to me! I had meant to get something with ube in it. I need to go back! We were here for dinner. Normally, you think of fluffy, giggly pancakes when you're at Fuwa Fuwa. This restaurant had a Japanese eats menu. We got the following Japanese combos: - Combo A for two people: - Teriyaki pork katsu rice - Chicken karaage curry - Two miso soups - Two cans of pop - Combo B for two people: - Udon noodle soup - Teriyaki chicken karaage - Two iced matcha lattes We shared the mains and soups family-style, so we could sample everything. Our mains and miso soups came out first. The drinks came out last. The teriyaki pork katsu on rice was yummy. The katsu was crispy on the outside and perfect inside. The rice was fluffy and had some green onions and furikake (dried seaweed flakes). One friend wanted more furikake on it. The rest of us were fine with what we got. I've been into Japanese curry for the longest time. This place made it well. The chicken karaage was crispy, as the curry was separate on the plate and so flavourful. We got rice. It had this sesame shredded cabbage as a side. It was yummy, but we all suggested that it needed red cabbage to add a colourful pop to the dish. We gave the most feedback on the miso soup. It was salty. I ended up taking water that I had filled a cup up at the station in the back and diluted my soup. It was less salty. The problem was that my water was cold and it made my soup cooler. The owner on the store apologized. We did a taste test between a batch of miso soup from yesterday that he had brought to our table versus the saltier one today. I tasted both. Yesterday's didn't have a strong miso flavour. Today's was too salty. I ended mixing the two. The miso flavour was perfect, but it was on the salty side. We got two cans of Coke zero. I can do Coke zero. One of my friends can't. We ended up trading one of the cans for regular Coke, which he likes. My can was cold. It didn't cause a sugar spike. All good. I also had one of the iced matcha lattes. I was thirsty from my miso soup. I loved it. It was cold. The matcha flavour was excellent. It was creamy from the milk in it. Three of us had the udon noodle soup. One of our friends can't have beef. The beef was thinly sliced and yummy. We all loved the chewiness of the udon. The broth wasn't overly salty. I liked it. The jammy egg was perfect. The green onions enhanced this dish. We got teriyaki chicken karaage. I love that it had kewpie mayo drizzled on top. The chicken was moist inside and crunchy on the outside. This dish came with rice and a runny fried egg. Delicious! We ordered a couple of jiggly pancakes: - Berry - Matcha It was my first time having the berry. It was excellent. I loved the berry compote poured all over the pancakes, which absorbed everything like a sponge. The pancakes were fluffy, jiggly, and delicious. I've had the matcha pancakes before. I loved the matcha sauce and the strawberry slices. It was nice having them again. I used the washroom before we called in a night. There are two single stalls. The one that I used was decent. I loved visited this cafe. It was nice spending time with friends over dinner and jiggly pancakes. I will return for the ube goodies! (115)
