“Amazing dining experience! Two people, lunch buffet. Upper James, Hamilton, ON. CAD $26, plus a senior's discount of 20%. Great value. Wonderful selections of appetizers, entrees, and desserts, including sushi and sashimi. Great taste. Great service. Hot hand towels before and after the meal is a nice touch. Clean washrooms.

“my new favorite place. absolutely love the food and the vibe!!“

“Great atmosphere and delicious food. Great experience“

“Very good fresh made food, very hospitable. Try the curry chicken with naan“

“Awesome good, great servers.“

“The service here was good. Waitresses were friendly and gave us complimentary bread while we waited for our food. The bread was rather mid tier- but free bread is free bread. We ordered the stuffed pizza, which is the Chicago style pizza. It takes 30mins- 45mins for them to make, so keep that in mind if that's what you're coming here for. The pizza was solid, although a little basic. (Probably because we just got one with cheese and sauce). Not sure how it compares to other Chicago style pizza, but still quite delicious.“

“This was our first visit back since new management came in. We were very impressed with how warm and inviting the team was and their attention to detail. We had the lemon ricotta sourdough starter, still amazing, as were the mushroom dumplings and the BN Salad! We also share the Basque Cheesecake which was extraordinary and made in house, as all their food is. It was a lovely date night location and we look forward to visiting again!“

“I’ve been coming here for many years with family and friends. The food is always amazing and the staff always take care of you. There’s something on the menu that everyone would like. My favourite part is you can order anything on the menu (breakfast, lunch, or dinner food) at any time of day, with great prices!“

“🪴All of the plants with great indoor and outdoor seating and open air in ”fairweather”! 💚 Jen behind the bar was super friendly and welcoming. 🍺 Garden Grave is the most delicious beer that I've had in a long time! ✅ Vibe check… passed! 🍻🍭 Two Hops Up… you should drink here!“

“very beautiful and fresh food never disappointed love this place“

“Always great food, drinks and service! Some of my favourite beers are brewed by these fine folks.“

“Found this fantastic Italian spot right in the heart of Hamilton and I'm so glad I did! The food is outstanding and both the pizzas and pastas are clearly made with care. The star of the show has to be the pizza: the base is absolutely perfect, and the homemade sauce is truly amazing. It’s the kind of meal that makes you plan your next trip before you’ve even left.“

“Simply amazing place. 5 star is an understatement it should be +10Stars!

Incredible elevated quality (locally sourced) food worth every penny. Owner and staff were so welcoming and dedicated to deliver quality. The sour dough bread is top notch!“

“I tried the Halal chicken sandwich...amazing The fries are just excellent“

“Stopped by yesterday for lunch! Shared the fish tacos and duck wings- fantastic! Great beer selection and great staff! Thanks for the delicious grub!“

“I recently ordered a veggie pizza from Domino's, and I must say—it was absolutely incredible! The flavors were perfectly balanced, the vegetables were fresh and well-cooked, and the crust had just the right amount of crispiness. Every bite was bursting with taste, and I could genuinely tell that care had gone into the preparation.

What made the experience even better was the outstanding customer service. I want to give a special shout-out to Mr. Arpit, the manager at Domino's. He was not only polite and professional but went above and beyond to ensure that my order was perfect. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated and passionate about delivering a great customer experience. His warm attitude and attention to detail truly made a difference.

Thank you, Domino’s, and thank you Mr. Arpit, for making this one of the best pizza experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommend to anyone looking for both great food and excellent service!“

“fantastic service and great food. Especially recommend the loaded avocado toast and pearberry salad“

“We joined friends for a lovely meal yesterday. Of course there were a variety of dishes from which to choose; but with all the reviews and reccomendations it made our choices difficult. We ended up ordering the meatballs with garlic bread, a definite hit!, the Pizza Fuks, the Flat Iron steak with rapini, Oysters, Seafood Risotto and mushroom Gnocchi. All were excellent. We first tried Born & Raised when they opened; we found the wait staff then very arrogent , which soured our experience. So we tried again, after hearing good things from friends and family; so 10 years later tried again. Boy are we glad we did! Wait staff were very friendly, easy to talk to and as a celiac, my only disappointment was I was told I could not have the gnocchi. Our drinks were prepared well and the food again, was outstanding! We definitely will return, thank you to all in the restaurant that made our night out so great. Major kudos to the chef and kitchen!“

“absolutely the best noodles in the world. Get the King, you won't regret it! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Everything is absolutely amazing! Delicious Pizza & Wings ❤️ Customer device is top notch! Love these guys 💞 Never disappointed.“

“Excellent family restaurant, amazing service (Thanks Michelle and others). Great omelette. Bottomless coffee. It’s a huge place. Booths and tables. Between 8.30 and 10.30 on a Saturday it was about 50% occupied and the CO2 didn’t go above 800 (good ventilation). Friendly, welcoming. Thank you!

Vegetarian options: An egg place is not going to be very good for vegans, but this place is easy for vegetarians. Omelette and eggs benny have vegetarian options.“

Vegetarian options: Does a great job on the falafel“

Service excellent, though you may wait for the cooked meals but worth the wait!

Regular customer now!

“Sam, son & his team 👍👍👍👍👍
Pizza & thin crust 5👍
Sam knows our name, & would know our order if i didn't change it regularly!
When I was gardening pregnant, his driver stopped to help me get a stubborn weed out. You don't get that from Pizza Pizza!' Mom & Pop shops every time. # buy local“

“Best falafel I've ever had. Good service! The flavour of the grilled veg, rice, hummus, and all sauces are solid!!
And ofc with sumac, right on.
One star down for atmosphere just bc of an incident with a person that they eally couldn't help. Location and all.“

“Excellent Service and Excellent foods. The place was great. The staff was friendly and good Highly recommended ❤️👏👍“

“Had an amazing dinner tonight for our Friday night date night! Excellent service. Our waitress was so friendly and attentive. Had the fajitas and the cactus dip. AMAZING! Quality of their food is 5*! Will definitely be back.“

“Really yummy sushi here. Got the bento box with tempura and substituted out the Cali roll for spicy salmon and I’m so glad I did because it was delicious! They add some extra salmon on top it was so good. Good portions for the price - I believe it was about $23 plus tax for the box. Also came with miso soup and rice pudding.

Am definitely going to be visiting this place again. Almost consider going out to Hamilton just for this sushi.

It was pretty busy on a Saturday night so some items took a while but worth it.“

“If you haven't been, you gotta go!!I've been here twice now since January 2023. The first time I dined in with a friend. I love authentic cultural cuisine and this place is fabulous. Friendly staff and owners, everything tasted as like it was cooked fresh. My dine in experience included those amazing pancakes. My second experience I did takeout and ordered the Tom Yum soup and number 38, which was a thin vermicelli dish that was excellent. Portion was so good I got two meals from it. Thanks so much for a fabulous meal. I'll be back! 😁🥢🍽“

“Located in downtown Hamilton, near buses and plenty of paid parking in the area, we visited for lunch on a Sunday. Wasnt busy when we arrived at 1p, although when we left at 2p, and 80% of the tables were full.
Cool and colorful murals filled the walls.

Tasty dishes, option to order spicy level. Hand made noodles take time, 30-35mins for one soup dish so be prepared to wait.

Soups come in one size so prepare to be full, or pack and save for another meal. Very good prices!“

“I get pizza from here for my board game night and it’s always a hit with my friends! The pizza always tastes great! The garlic sauce is also delicious. Definitely recommend trying this place out.
Toppings are fresh, cheese is good, crust is crisp and not too thick.
If you order ahead of time on Skip and you choose 6:45-7pm for pickup (for example), it’ll be ready at exactly 6:45. So just be aware! The pizza is definitely best when it’s piping hot.
Eventually I’ll have to try other items off their menu!“

“My new best restaurant to eat. I've been here twice and on both occasions i was impressed. The Manager and the staffs are great on customer satisfaction, they were attentive and welcoming. The food was delicious. I left truly impressed and will definitely be coming back.“

“What a hidden gem beside Walmart in Waterdown! It was my first visit, and it didn’t disappoint. The owner was incredibly welcoming, greeting us with a complimentary hot pot of tea—a perfect start on a cold night.

We began with the fresh shrimp rolls, a delightful combination of rice, bok choy, and shrimp wrapped in rice paper. While the peanut sauce was good, I highly recommend trying it with the hoisin sauce—a sweet and tangy Korean sauce that elevated the flavors beautifully.

For mains, I had the stir fried egg noodles with mixed vegetables and shrimp. The portion was massive, with fivd or six large prawns and perfectly spiced, fresh ingredients. My dining partner opted for the Pad Thai with beef, which had a unique red sauce with a mild spice kick. Both dishes were flavorful, generous, and priced reasonably at $17 each.

The freshness of the ingredients stood out, and we even had leftovers for lunch the next day. While the seating area could use a modern update, the food and hospitality made up for it. I’m definitely returning to explore more of the menu!

Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic and fresh Vietnamese-Thai cuisine, or if you never tried this delicious cuisine, Give it a try!

Update: we went back for more, this time we tried the beef rice roll, I prefer the shrimp one. For main course, I ordered the pad thai with shrimps and my wife ordered the stir fried egg noodles with mixed vegetables and beef. It was such satisfying choices.“

“The best Pho in Hamilton bar none.“

“First time here on Feb 15/23. Spectacular, the X burger takes no substitution but it needs no substitution“

“I haven't been here in sometime but remembered I never gave my favorite restaurant in all of Hamilton the review it deserved! This place is the greatest and the owner is a total sweetheart, it's such a friendly and gentle place with truly spectacular food and I hope to visit it again in the near future! If you are in the area I highly recommend it!“

“Hands down the best restaurant i've been to, not only is the menu extremely extensive but you cook everything yourself to your own preference...“

“Not only was the food absolutely amazing, but the service was phenomenal! Our server not only handled the lounge and the dining room BY HERSELF, but was also efficient and friendly! The only downside was overhearing overhearing group of ignorant people complaining unnecessarily. If you have to wait for your food here, trust me, it's more than worth it . Best Italian meal I've had in over a decade.“

“Always a longish line. But food is good. Obviously theres tons of better places off campus to get food at but the shawarma poutine and burger are good. Dont get the nashville crispy chicken in bread, its literally just a 6inch sub of crispy chicken with a salad ontop and some hot sauce. Also if u want additional sauces they charge you

Notable experience: they gave me a raw 6oz single patty burger during lunch hour instead of 2 3oz patties (how fun!) but i wasnt bothered to go back and just threw the patty in a microwave“

“The services were amazing and the manager came to our table to say hi and make sure we were happy. Such a good chicken sandwich wow“
