“Cassie was our server tonight and she is absolutely incredible! She is extremely attentive, very personable and made me feel like she genuinely cared that we were there tonight. You’ll be lucky to have her as your server!!”
“Delicious Dal Fry and Kardai Chicken. Rich flavour and texture on both. (But I will skip the raita next time -- too watery!)”
“I brought my team from Tailored Home Improvements to Jack’s Astors in Kanata, great to support local businesses, and the burgers were great. Meagan was amazing and very professional”
“Last night was my 2nd time at this place. We showed up with no reservation and asked for a table for 15 people. They made it happen. The food was AMAZING! We split a few platters and everyone was happy and left very full.The prices were very reasonable. Our waiter, Emrah, was super attentive, funny and an overall happy guy! What a pleasure to have him take care of us. Please come check this place out! 🙏🏻”

“Stacey is a phenomenal server. A true role model for the industry. Always positive, attentive and friendly. Can't say enough good things. She will keep you coming back!”
“I come here pretty often, and during my last two visits, Dusty was the one helping us. She’s honestly so sweet, friendly, and helpful! She always makes us feel welcome and makes the experience even better. The crepes and desserts are really good too!”
“Loved the food and the colorful ambience. I'm not a fan of Mexican food but my boyfriend loves it. I flipped the script and took him out to Casa Mexico in Kanata. He had the burritos and I had the quesabirrias (marinated shredded beef quesadillas). I am gluten-free and to find so much I could chose from.on a menu was great. Both plates were delicious. The decorations in bright colors were delightful. We're definitely going back to try the tacos.”

“I often time visit this small sushi shop since I live nearby and have had nothing but great experiences. The food is delicious, especially their crispy spicy crab and the miso soup, I’d also recommend the miso soup as an appetizer and also the staff is lovely. Worth a visit if you’re in the area or even if you’re not. 5 stars”
“First time here and we really enjoyed our breakfast. When we walked in Quintin greeted us with a smile and good morning. He then showed us to our table. A few minutes later our waitress
Honey introduce herself and
took our order. We ordered the. breakfast special, she was amazing and made our breakfast more enjoyable.
I would diffenely recommend this
location for breakfast or brunch whenever you're in Kanata Centrum. The prices are pretty
reasonable and one thing I liked you can hear the person your talking too without loud music”
“Otroligt god mat! Rekommenderar starkt deras halstrade lax i kombination med chilimajo. Deras rullar och poke bowls är också storfavoriter här hemma. Vardagslyx; 10/10!”

“We were part of a group of 32 of a soccer team, and our grandson's 16th birthday. Besides that, the staff were serving 2 other birthday parties, one being a 100 year old. Every one of the servers were friendly and efficient. Thanks so much for such a pleasant evening.”
“Always great to have a late night snack at Harvey’s on Eagleson in Kanata. I left my wallet at the location and once I realized my loss, I called the restaurant. The manager Badu (sp?) and staff had found it and vetted me to make sure I was the rightful owner. I want to thank him and the staff for being so honest and trustworthy. I had a larger than usual amount of money in my wallet and everything was in place. I even offered a large tip but they declined. So nice to deal with honest people with integrity and I highly recommend this place.”
“My family frequents the Kanata location on a weekly basis. Tonight's server, Ryley, was exceptional, prompting me to write this review. Seeing my young daughter ordered spaghetti, she provided extra napkins without prompting. Refills also came without promoting.
The manager was also very hospitable. Good vibes all around.”
“I went to Hockey Sushi for dinner with a friend, initially feeling somewhat sceptical about the place. However, seeing a steady line of people waiting to get in convinced me to put my assumptions aside and give it a fair shot.
After about a 15-minute wait, I was pleasantly surprised by the open-concept dining room. While it may not offer the most intimate or refined atmosphere, the layout gives the restaurant a lively, bustling energy. That said, the atmosphere itself was not particularly remarkable.
The food arrived surprisingly quickly, and the sashimi was easily the highlight of the experience. For an all-you-can-eat establishment, the quality was impressive. The white tuna was buttery and delicate, while the salmon tasted fresh and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the sushi rolls were less memorable. They were oversized, somewhat plain, and lacked the balance of flavour that made the sashimi stand out.
The meat selection was another pleasant surprise. The lamb skewers, in particular, were delicious and added some welcome variety beyond the usual sushi offerings. Service was friendly and efficient, although interactions were fairly brief and could have been a little more engaging.
Overall, Hockey Sushi may not be the destination for someone seeking an elevated Japanese dining experience, but it delivers where it matters most for an all-you-can-eat restaurant: generous portions, satisfying food, and solid value for money. If you’re looking to get the most out of your dollar while enjoying quality sashimi and a variety of other options, Hockey Sushi is certainly one of the stronger contenders in Ottawa’s all-you-can-eat sushi scene.”
“Above-par, hard workin' staff that still take a moment to chat you up while mixing 4 shakes and managing the take-out counter. Superhuman Service! Loved my Reuben so much I bought the tshirt in the hopes they'll give me staff rate on my next meal ;) Hearty portions so plenty left to share with a fellow hosteller. 5-Stars, thanks for the comfort food since Winterlude hot chocolates as a kid in the 80s. Best Nostalgia Diner in the City”
“Been going to the Crazyhorse since it opened. Always a fun time. Usually the service is good but recently more mid. Our server this recent visit was definitely hired cause she was cute, lol.
Everyone enjoyed our meals, drinks, and dancing as per usual.
I always get the stone grill as my meal, highly recommended. Others enjoyed the wings, the prime rib, nachos, a burger, and the grilled chicken caesar salad, and we all devoured the guac, so theres something for everyone here.
Wish the bathrooms had improved since 2010 but hey if you're early they will be clean.
Recommended for a fun night of dinner and dancing with friends.”

“Came here a couple days ago since this McDonald’s is the closest one to my house. I stopped by right before work like around 5am and saw one guy working all by himself. Even though it was busy, he was still nice and made me feel welcome. today morning I thanked him for his hard work. Need more people with a work ethic like him!”
“I visited last evening and had a great experience!The store staff were truly amazing. I ordered the Steak Craveable, and even though the place was quite busy, the team was on point with their customer service. Kudos to the entire evening team especially Malu Baby for managing everything so well. Highly appreciated!”

“The best customer service. Every time we visit kanata location, Simran gives us the most welcoming smiles, and prepare our orders exactly as want them (or better) and make us feel so welcomed, and everything taste better if you are happy. She has set the customer service bar very high; if we visit other places, they are never close to her efficiency. You are so lucky to have her.”
“This was our 1st time trying Shawarma House in Kanata. Our food (shawarma sandwiches, chicken salad and garlic potatoes) was delicious and fresh, the restaurant was very clean and organized and the staff were super friendly. Glad we decided to try it and we'll certainly go back.”

“Mint and Honey is a wonderful local goods store in the Kanata area of Ottawa. First was introduced through a pop-up event with another favourite business of mine, Trillium Floral Design. I bought Strawberry Infused Honey. Loved it so much I came back and tried the Lemon and Ginger Infused Honey. Amazing and delicious. The staff are so friendly, welcoming, and kind. Will come again”
“I have had a chaotic year, and Shawarma Prince has been the absolute life saver to eat healthy. As a type 1 diabetic, the food here is healthy, low carb and really yummy! I go to the Merivale road location and the staff here are the absolute best! If you are looking for a healthy, affordable, mouth watering meal, this is the place to go...5 out of 5 stars. JJ...”

“What truly set this pizza apart was the freshness of the ingredients. The generous amount of paneer chunks scattered across the pizza ensured that each bite was packed with savory goodness. Paired with a variety of fresh vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, every slice was a colorful mosaic of flavors.”
“The food is excellent and the service is A1. We were given a tour of the Beer Brewing process and there is far more to making beer than we had any idea of. Thank you for the tour. We love coming here.”

Cheap Eats
“Usually service and food is good. Today, july 22 around 2:30 it was someone different. I was only customer and the guy got it wrong. Ordered 2 meat/cheese. When I got home...no cheese. Also, dough was way too thin. And way too much spice. Sorry. It's usually my go to for Lebanese pies, but today's food was not up to snuff.”
“We went here right before closing, and honestly, we were so impressed with the service. Hisham was absolutely amazing, super kind, friendly, and welcoming. He greeted us with a warm smile, took the time to explain the menu, and made us some really amazing desserts.
Even though they were getting ready to close, he never made us feel rushed. He was patient, helpful, and genuinely seemed happy to serve us. You don’t come across service like that every day!
The desserts were delicious, the place was clean, and the service was even better. Huge thanks to Hisham for making our visit such a great experience. Definitely recommend Chocolate Flavoris, and we’ll be coming back!”
“I had an excellent experience at Subway! The atmosphere was clean, welcoming, and comfortable. The food was fresh, delicious, and made with quality ingredients. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and attentive, making the entire visit enjoyable.
The combination of fresh food, outstanding customer service, and a pleasant atmosphere makes this Subway a place worth visiting. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh, tasty meal and excellent service.”
“Discovered the BEST Starbucks drink I’ve EVER had at this location yesterday, all thanks to their amazing staff <3
My friend and I popped in for some iced shaken espressos yesterday afternoon and we were met by 2 of the friendliest, most helpful baristas. I wish I had their names, but I want to thank them for the best afternoon pick-me-up and absolutely perfect drinks! The staff member who took our order was so helpful in customizing my off-menu drink order, and the barista who made them was so thoughtful and thorough, going the extra mile by scooping out the excess espresso foam before topping them with the brown sugar cold foam. This was so appreciated, as typically the cold foam gets lost in the espresso foam. Such a small detail, but it really made such a difference. It’s the little things like this that turn a good experience into a great one! Thank you again!!!”
“Thank You to the fabulous baristas who each do the job of three people, working tirelessly to give us the best part of our day. And thank you guys for offering some lovely vegan options, I really appreciate you all so very much. Thank you for brightening our neighborhood with your kindness ♥”
“This review comes from an Uber eats order I made.
Heres what i ordered:
Pad Thai, shrimp; "very" spicy and "extra sauce".
And, it's what I got. I'd say the spice level on their most spicy option is like a medium spice, just FYI. For me, it's perfect as it doesn't take away from the eating experience, it's spicy but, you get the full flavor of the sauce and it's delicious.
Loved what I got. Thank you to the team!”
“The food taste absolutely delicious 😋, if you are in Ottawa please I recommend this.”
“Ordered four dishes for lunch with my wife. Portions were amazing value, and authentically delicious to boot.
Being from Vancouver, BC we really missed all of the Chinese food gems in Richmond. Harbin brought us right back. We can't believe we've been here for a year and are only finding this place now. Definitely our go to for Chinese food now!!”
“We wanted quick sushi and we hit loblaws for the bento brand. Love this stuff. Always fresh and they give lots of ginger and Wasabi. For the price and availability it hit the spot perfectly. Thank you.
Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian sushi trays ready to go.
Parking: Loblaws parking lot.”
“Food is always hot and delicious. My local go-to in Kanata for Chinese takeout.”
“Sam and her staff really do care about the clients and their food. Attentive, eager to help, always checking on how things are going & genuinely want to make sure people are happy. Prices are reasonable & the beer is cold. The Sens shuttle is very convenient. A great locally owned place to support & not too far away!! Thanks Sam!”

“Visited for a patio dinner on a Saturday evening. Good menu, clean venue, wait staff pleasant, food was good! But I have to point out a major faux-pas. I ordered the deep fried cheesecake for dessert. It was supposed to come with strawberry and chocolate sauce & whip cream. They were out of strawberry sauce but didn't mention it when I ordered and so was not given the option to choose something else. Another restaurant runner dropped it off with NO toppings whatsoever... I thought the toppings might come after, but after a while ate it as it was (it was good but would have been so much better with even only one of the toppings) Finally when our bill came, we mentioned that the dessert had no toppings. We were told the waitress was new and didn't realize.... I get that... but what I wasn't expecting was that we still had to pay full price for the dessert---no discount, no other offer. That was very disappointing service... I suppose I could have complained or asked to speak to a "manager" but at that point just really wanted to leave. Because everything else about the restaurant was good---and so happy it's even Canadian---we will return... hoping for a better experience”

“I was passing by MacDonald last night and I was craving for some good food, I stopped at the MacDonald and it was pretty late, there was guy name Rowan, I asked him can I please get everything fresh and it was as same as I expected. It was a really good experience and he helped me to understand the monopoly thing as well. I really appreciate that!”
