4 Best Chinese Restaurants near Waterloo

“We have lived in Waterloo for a long time, and never had the desire to stop at Ja Bowl. We decided on dinner on night on a whim, and ended up here. The food was your typical Chinese with a buffet type option as well. The service was ok, and the atmosphere was the typical Chinese sit down (older decor, dingy and dark). There, we tried Ja Bowl.. scratch that one off the list.“

“Much better than your typical “strip mall” Asian takeout. Our carry out order was exceptional! We customized our order online and everything was made perfectly. China King uses fresh, not canned, mushrooms and peppers. The rice noodles were the right texture, the veggie fried rice was flavorful and not excessively salty … and the crab Rangoon were FAAANTASTIC.

The staff is exceptional, as well. On our online order, we selected “no meat” They noticed that we added a few items that would have contained meat and made excellent recommendations for alternative dishes.“

“The beef lo mein that I ordered was really good but the sweet and sour pork that I had ordered is really dry and crunchy and it's overcooked I'm not trying to give them a bad review I just hope that they see this and don't overcook the next order of sweet and sour pork that they make“

“I'd give this place a 10, if I could. The lady who took my order held the door open on the way out, also offered to take my food to the car(on crutches after a knee surgery). Got home and the food was still steaming hot, tasted really fresh to. Will be my new go to spot.“
