“The food and selection is amazing. Staff were great. Parking is so much better than the old location.”
“First time visiting this restaurant in KW. Waiter was amazing and very attentive. Loved the butter chicken. This was my husbands first time at an Indian restaurant and he really liked it. We will be back.”
“Great tasting and filling! Large selection and reasonable prices. Friendly staff.”
“We had wonderful service and food at the Swiss Chalet on Fairway Road in Kitchener! We were seated almost immediately. Our professional and friendly server, Betty, stopped by the table within a couple of minutes and took our order. In the past, we have had horrible wait times at the Swiss Chalet on Weber Street (40 minutes or more) so we decided to give Swiss Chalet on Fairway Road a try. Boy, we were amazed and pleasantly surprised. We received our food within ten minutes. It was delicious! The chicken was tender and the market vegetables were cooked perfectly. Betty, our server, made the experience at Swiss Chalet all the better by the attentive and professional service that she provided. We will be back to Swiss Chalet, Fairway Road, Kitchener. Thank you, Betty, for your wonderful service! ❤️👍”
“I went to Swiss Chalet on Highland for dinner with a friend and had a great experience. We were served by an amazing waitress named Jeneyah, and she truly made our visit special. She was very pleasant, gave us plenty of menu options, and was attentive throughout our meal. Our food was taken and delivered in a timely manner—hot, fresh, and delicious. The restaurant environment was clean and welcoming, and overall the service was excellent. I’d rate this visit a 9.5/10 and would definitely return!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Great experience, we had a table booked for 6 online and I simply called and updated to 9. Food was amazing and our waitress was on top of things, looked after us all night, polite, friendly and accommodating. Best service at a restaurant and it was our son's 18th birthday celebration. Great job to staff at Montannas!”
“Finally made it out to try this place, I’m disappointed we waited so long! Everything was amazing. The brisket was some of the best Ive had and the Brussel sprouts were out of this world. Great cocktail and beer selection as well. Our server Shana was fantastic, we didn’t need for anything ! Will definitely be returning.”

“I recently dined at Raja Chettinad Fine Indian Cuisine for the first time, and it was an outstanding experience. The food was the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had, flavourful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. The service was friendly, attentive, and truly excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Northern and Southern Indian dishes. I will definitely be returning!”
“One of our friends recommended us this place and it was an amazing experience. Good quality, ambience, service everything was amazing.
The ambience was top notch and our server Deepak was excellent in his service.
I had the best laccha parantha, paneer lababdar and garlic naan here.
Will be visiting again for sure.”

“I had a great experience at this Bar Burrito location today. Gagan was extremely welcoming and provided very high-quality service from the moment I walked in. The restaurant was clean, well-organized, and clearly maintained with strong hygiene standards.
I highly recommend this Bar Burrito location for both the service and the overall experience.”
“Our second visit here.
Serbian food, very fresh, delicious and priced reasonably. Portions are large/well sized. We came in near closing time in the middle of a snowstorm to wait out the drive back home to Toronto. We were welcomed in for service. We will definitely visit again.”

“We were a group that tried almost one of everything on the menu. Escargot, Caesar Salad, Lamb, Duck, Coq au vin, Scallops, a beautiful French wine and to finish Creme Brulee, Coffee and Cognac. It was all so good. The flavours were out of this world. And the service couldn't be better. I wish I remembered the name of the lady that served us. She was very well informed and very attentive. Our compliments to the chef for some amazing food.”
“I have going to Swiss Chalets for years ... in Ottawa, Georgetown, Mississauga, Burlington and now here in Kitchener. I go at least 3 a month. Food here was good as usual. This visit I was served by Sue (she as been my server a couple of times). She seems to really enjoy her function, she is quite personable and I enjoy.”
“We enjoyed The Civil! Tasty pizza, fresh toppings, nice dough. Had the salad with goat cheese and strawberries was delicious. Nice drinks blood orange aperol spritz, and a nice Farm Leaue Hazy IPA right up my alley. Great service. The only downside and reason for not getting a 5* is the cold draft coming in everytime the front door opened. We were sitting near the door and was a very cold night. Is a small space and just 1 door at front so hard to avoid. Recommend requesting a table closest to the bar during cold weather to help lessen the cold drafts. We'll definitely be back!”
“A Whimsical Wonderland of Flavour and Charm! From the moment I stepped into Queen of Hearts Tea House, I felt like I had wandered straight into a fairytale. The atmosphere is absolutely enchanting—vintage elegance meets whimsical charm, with cozy seating, delicate china, and thoughtful decor that truly makes you feel like royalty. The tea selection is phenomenal! Whether you’re a classic Earl Grey lover or craving something more adventurous like lavender or lime gelato, they’ve got something that will surprise and delight your taste buds. I tried the signature Earl Grey cream and paired with the freshly baked scones was pure magic. The staff are warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They genuinely care about your experience and are happy to guide you through the menu. The service was top-notch from start to finish. Whether you’re planning a quiet afternoon escape, a special date, or a whimsical tea party with friends, Queen of Hearts is the perfect spot. I honestly didn’t want to leave—and I’ll definitely be back soon! Highly, highly recommend. 💕☕👑”
“Wow, I went with two friends and the food was amazing! I had the best scallops I had ever had on top of home made pasta. I cannot wait to go back❤️”
“Wow! It has been a very, very long time since I ate in a restaurant and immediately wanted to return to try more of the menu! The food was absolutely incredible, everything was so tasty. The service was absolutely stellar, friendly, helpful, and easy to talk to. The atmosphere was warm and inviting without being too fussy. It was exactly as it should be, everything felt right. I will definitely be going back again and again!”

“Harvey's does such a great job at keeping organized and giving each guest the time to customize their burger exactly how they want it. Tasty and fresh, the food has always been good from this location. The staff are friendly and prompt, and always helpful. I recommend this Harvey's for your perfect burger.”
“Shout out to the kind lady that works overnights/ very early mornings at this location. I'monly a semi regular customer, but she has recognized me and has gone above and beyond in her customer service. Always brings a smile to my face when I see her! Today she really helped start my day off on a high note. (130am drive through). Thank you! :D”
“This Mc Donalds has always kins people serving and they are always quick at the drive through. They manage well the cars that need to wait a bit more by asking them to park out of the way to let others go through. Ita a well oiled machine.
My orders were always accurate only they are often shy on the portion of fries.
All with all the location is ideal close to 401 and on a major road as well and yet they handle the rushes well. Well done !”
“I go here every morning for a coffee. It is aways hot and the ladies on the window are really friendly. But when i go at night for coffee pods, keurig pods, at home coffee. The people there have no idea what i am talking about and tell me they dont have. If I go in they have it. Can you please teach your staff what a keurig coffee pod is. Thank you 😊”
“Best and most friendliest service ever!!! Helps that they have delicious food too!!!”

“Oh ma gawd.
The subs are 6-7$ and have great portions and also taste amazing as well. I was about to board the ion before I turned around and ordered seconds. It's so good and the people running the store are super friendly. Can I get a 6th star for this establishment 10/10 would recommend”
“I wish I had never tried this pizza. Now it's all I think about. I'm consumed by it more than it was consumed by me. It's so good it haunts my waking dreams. The stuffed mushrooms were bites of pure bliss. I should have stopped 3 slices before I did. At least I will die happy. Paired well with a bottle of Pinot Noir.”
“Big Shout to Zanir at Baskin Robbins. Have been here more than once with my friends and Zanir has been excellent. He is Super Friendly, Helpful and all round amazing. Couldn't have asked for better service. What an amazing person to have & be around. Thank You Zanir 🙏”

“Absolutely scrumptious food served by friendly staff in a clean environment. The servings were very generous, and the prices are incredibly reasonable (even for pre-Covid times). Great music too.”
“The Tri City Food Ninjas stopped in to Rustico tonight. We were a group of 46. Where do I start? The food: The food is incredible. ESPECIALLY the Arancini. Unfortunately I dove face first into my pizza before remembering to take a photo. The homemade Caesar dressing is also something quite special. The service: Staff was so attentive and on their game. They had us full of drinks, appetizers, mains, and dessert (in a lot of cases) in under two hours. We have some older members, some who work midnights and such, and the timing really meant a lot to them. We have had exceptional service in the past but the organization of this small kitchen and the serving staff is impressive! Everyone under that roof tonight showed so much pride in what they were doing. We will be talking about this stop for quite some time. Thank you for having us!”

“Wonderful cake .Tasted as good as they looked. The day was very special and everyone asked where we got the cake from. Thank you cake tender.”
“The best Popeyes I have been to in the last few years.
Many other locations I have been to, the quality has gone down drastically - but here the service has been great, and the food is always fresh and consistent.
They are definitely changing the oil much more than the other locations too because other places have a very weird taste a lot of the times.”
“I had tried some gluten free bread options at some local grocery chains - yuck! That’s all I can say. I am not a gluten- free expert, as I am only starting to treat my ailments through experimentation, but let me tell you this - I am very happy with the product from Winnie’s! I went in and was promptly greeted, and the young lady that helped me was so pleasant and patient while I asked a million questions. I purchased a standard gluten/dairy free loaf of white bread. When I got home, I cut myself a generous slice, popped it in the toaster and buttered it. I had very low expectations to be honest, but what do you know… IT WAS FANTASTIC! I would go as far to say that’s it’s better than grocery store (gluten filled) bread. I can finally have a toasted tomato sandwich again 🤗 Will definitely be back!”

“Taste of Seoul did not disappoint! Every dish is flavourful, delicious, and feels so clean and fresh. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Truly one of the best Korean restaurants we’ve tried so far — perfect for a quick and satisfying stop in Kitchener.””

“The food was great and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely return.”
“Grace did a great job - she’s the best. She knew the menu inside and out, and paid close attention to how our meal was progressing and what we needed.
The food was really tasty, and we probably ordered too much. So good!”

“Whilst looking for a j*** chicken recipe I came across Big J*** Smokehouse. We've had almost everything on the menu and all of it is outstanding. Service is amazing too. It's definitely a must try it to believe it.”
“This place is so nice and I’m glad we decided to try it out! The restaurant was so homey and inviting. I also loved the ethnic music playing lol. The chicken Alfredo pizza was super tasty and worth the price for sure. We did have to wait roughly 30 minutes for the food to arrive which is longer than expected. The food was definitely worth the wait though. The bathrooms were also a bit dirty but it wasn’t anything too bad. All in all, I would definitely come back here again to try the other menu items!”
“We ordered a pizza and it was a takeaway. We came back home and found some issues with the pizza toppings. I called the restaurant and explained to them about the concern and they delivered us fresh and well done pizza. I must say it was a great service as customer.”
“Very typical and comfortable diner atmosphere. Older crowd when I was there at lunch. Service was excellent and friendly. My food was very good quality. I had the chicken tender platter. Fries and coleslaw. Amazing. Dipping sauces, amazing. The tenders are home made from real breast meat. The coating on the tenders was more of a batter than a breading. The texture was light and airy like a cheesy or corn puff. It was interesting. But not to my preference. Portion was HUGE.”
“This Harvey’s is always amazing! The food is always cooked properly and has a consistent taste Every-time which keeps me coming back!
The staff here is amazing! Aryan and Shevnwt are by far the best employees at this restaurant! They personally greet each customer who comes into the restaurant and makes you feel like you are dining at a fine dining establishment with the level of service that they provide!
This Harvey’s is always amazing and will be my go to for years to come!”
“First date night since landing in Kitchener. Something new to both of us. It was welcoming and very chill. Staff were friendly and helpful.”

“We had dinner at The Borealis. The food was fantastic. Our server’s name was Allie( not sure if that’s the right spelling) she was very attentive and observant during the meal. Excellent service March 15/22”

Truly one of the best Korean restaurants we’ve tried so far — perfect for a quick and satisfying stop in Kitchener.””
“These folks are doing a wonderful job with lots of delicious savory bar food (awesome chip truck fries!) and quality micro brewery beers and ciders on tap!”
“The food at the Turkish Flames is excellent, fresh, perfectly cooked and spiced. We ate here twice during a recent stay at the nearby Sandman hotel, and it was by far the best food in that locale!”
“Best Mediterranean food in the city. Been coming here for 20 years and the food remains consistently great. Worth it every time.
Update: For Vegetarians just a bit of caution as we found out that the falafels are fried in the same oil as the fish is. For us this rules out dining here as we had been assured that everything was vegetarian and no cross contamination would occur. This may be an oversight by management and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt as the owners are very customer focused. If they are reading this and could address this particular issue I will happily come back and give them my business, but I can't willingly eat falafels that have been fried in the same oil as fish or meat products. Same goes for fries.”
“Visited the bent elbow back in December haven't stopped thinking about it since, absolutely incredible! Staff was amazing, reccomendations were on point! Would highly reccomend to anyone, especially to beer lovers!”
“Had a great time, Hector our waiter was fantastic.,food was fantastic”
“love the fairway location best. The staff are so wonderful and always efficient. They make amazing quality food.”
“Had a very enjoyable experience as Casa Toro 88 in February of 2026.
I visited around 4:30pm on a Sunday afternoon and it was about half full in the upstairs seating - there's maybe 6 or 7 tables in total, most of which are for two people. So might be worth a reservation if you plan to visit during a busier period.
Had the Casa Toro beer, which was supremely delicious. Glad I decided to try that out instead of the Modelo.
For food, we ordered (for two people) - 1 order birria tacos, 1 order carnitas tacos, and 1 order shrimp tacos - so 9 tacos in total. In terms of food amount it was great, only a little left to take away. The birria tacos were by far the best - not just taste-wise but also ease of eating. The carnitas could more or less handle, but the shrimp tacos were basically a disaster - totally falling apart no matter how you try to pick it up. A knife and fork would definitely have been the way to go with those. Nonetheless, they were tasty. Just difficult logistically.
Parking at the Benton St garage, to which the restaurant is basically attached, means it couldn't be easier to get to the place, either. Which was nice.”
“This is fine dining at it's best. The food was amazing and all fresh and cooked to your requests. My husband and I with another couple had the most enjoyable time there this past Friday night..Service was excellent and we also got to enjoy live entertainment by Mary Catherine Pazzano singing and piano playing. while we dined.. I felt like dancing in the restaurant.. Food is not cheap but if you want to go for an exquisite meal this is the place to go. I plan to go back soon.”
“Ehrmahgawd! 😻 The best antijitos I've ever eaten bar none! 🔥”
“This is one of the best breweries in Kitchener/Waterloo and Cambridge. Personally, it's one of the few breweries in Canada that come across entirely personable and incredibly welcoming to everyone. The owner is extremely helpful, enthusiast, and well-knowledgeable about all areas of their business. The available beers will rotate, so often you can try a variety of different delicious beers throughout the year but still pick up their staples which are absolutely fantastic (make sure to do yourself a favour and grab some Lando!) The prices are fair, the areas are clean/well managed, and I have never encountered an issue with the mulitple times I have attended this establishment whether if it was for concerts, going with friends or just stopping in for a beer after work. It is one of the few places I know that not only an adult can enjoy, but kids are welcome with their parents and even dogs, too! I wish there were more places like Short Finger Brewing Co. in Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge, but I am extremely happy we have this place as not only do they support the Region of Waterloo at every opportunity but host a number of events for Arts community and more. I know if I stop in, it'll never be for a quick visit because it feels like a home away from home. And honestly, I love that.”
“Visited Pizza Hut recently and had a wonderful experience. The pizza was hot, fresh, and very tasty. Special thanks to the SUPRIYA,she was extremely professional, kind, and welcoming. She handled customers very nicely and made the atmosphere pleasant.”
“This is such a unique experience. It’s a hidden speakeasy that requires searching and a password to get into. The drinks are yummy and the atmosphere is lovely. Their one shot was so yummy it tasted like a fruit loop. The decorations are tasteful.”
“The tacos, sauces, guacamole, etc were absolutely delicious. Eduardo was professional and the meal was on time. I will definitely recommend Lord of the Tacos!”
“We ordered fish and chips to take out.....No need to ever go to a Fish and Chip restaurant, when the Edelweiss produces this quality....difficult however to finnish the two peice....we will be customers again!”
“Food was fantastic! The orders were all extremely flavourful, and large portions.Atmosphere was nice. Will definitely make the drive to visit again!”
“We dropped in for the hockey game, our server Danielle was diligent and very pleasant. Made the outing one to remember!”
“went tonight for the first time. the Guinness pour was perfect, food was great and the staff was great as well. we will be back”
“Wonderful AYCE sushi! Definitely worth a try, sushi was fresh and tasty!”
“Just had 3 Kretans for the first time in a long time. OMG the gyro pita and lemon chicken soup (Avgolemono) is fantastic. Thanks for a terrific lunch!”
“Great communication and no wait time for curb side pickup. Can’t wait to come back!”
“This is our local go to pub. The atmosphere is great and fun as a couple or a group. Their house salad is fantastic, have some vegetarian options as they change. The current masala burger is fantastic. The fries are too salty for my liking but not awful. We have a couple of favourite servers, all are great. Most seem to enjoy their fish and chips. We had a dinner there for 35-40 people in the back room and not one complaint or dish returned. Well done to the entire staff.”
“Friendly staff. Awesome to chill and talk with friends and enjoy the food”
“Cameron Chinese is exceptional at somethings and mediocre at others. The eggplant with black bean sauce was the best I’ve ever had. The steamed beef and cilantro noodle was good. The pork dumpling, sticky bbq pork rice were fine, but not worth it. The beef balls were bad and definitely not worth it. This place is great if you order specific things and avoid others.”
“Great place and highly recommended! I will definitely come back and the staff was amazing.”
“I have been here 3x and just recently tried some of the apps after 9pm super good and the bar tender is very nice and very helpful with our visit. good place to try if you are in the mood for comfort foods.”
“Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Lots of vegan options. Friendly service.”
“Karolina gave us the best service! The goat cheese dip appetizer was everyone’s favourite! The sweet potato fries dipped in the garlic aioli are a game changer! We will definitely return!”
“I’m so happy to have found this restaurant. The food was amazing. The staff were so friendly and helped my husband to decide what to order. We had the dinner for 3 and ordered it medium spiced. Great portion sizes. We also got the pad Thai burrito. Very good also! We will be back!”
“This is a great place for food and indoor golf. The simulators provide lots of information for people trying to fix their swing, and they have so many different courses that you can play regardless of your skill”
“Fantastic Food, flavour is out of this world and staff has always been friendly and speedy! The restaurant is A family staple of ours!”
“We have been going to the Metro since 1980 and have never been disappointed. The servers are always friendly and very accommodating. The best schnitzel ever. Food is always hot and delicious. Shout out to Brittany and Adam for the great service and wonderful meal last night.”
“Afework and Helen and Chef are AMAZING! The food is delicious and they came and set up and prepared food for our special girl’s 30th birthday when we couldn’t dine in! We are blessed. Please support these beautiful people and enjoy their delicious food!!!”
“Great and chill place to eat first time overall love it especially that as the sign it has a wolf on it big fan of wolves so whoever the owner is good job with the restaurant logo. Beers good your pizza is actually more delicious then actual some pizza places. And I tried alot and your fries also So good keep up the great work would I come again yes. But the trouble is I live in Waterloo near Conestoga So coming all the way to Victoria is a hassle but sure worth it. 🥰🥳😎 great place love it. First time but it was great!”
“Good vibes, great food and live bands. Was there in Wednesday night for karaoke and had a blast!! Nice relaxed place to unwind!!”
“the customer service is amazing . a couple of your employees were so knowledgeable. the younger guy working today and a lady with dark hair grey highlights maybe 40 were amazing she was shorter ty so much xo”
“What a Walper Experience at The Walper Hotel! Superb, world-class hotel located in the heart of Kitchener. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Alexis was so helpful and kind during our visit! She answered our questions about the different sauces, made conversation, and made everyone feel so welcome. A true icon, thanks queen!!”
“Afework and Helen and Chef are AMAZING! The food is delicious and they came and set up and prepared food for our special girl’s 30th birthday when we couldn’t dine in! We are blessed. Please support these beautiful people and enjoy their delicious food!!!”
“Freshest tastiest made to order, delicious sushi. They use the best ingredients, golden dragon and dynamite rolls and try the crevettes we have been back numerous times and it is always the best consistent high-quality sushi.”
“I have the most wonderful experience with this particular location. Yoojeong is possibly the most wonderful person I have ever met. She is so kind and so pleasant. She is very dedicated to her profession and makes some of the best sushi I have ever had! They are made with exceptional quality. The sushi counter is always stocked with a wide variety of items. But most importantly, she will make me my vegetarian wraps when they are sold out from the case. She is so accommodating to her customers and cares deeply about their satisfaction. Full disclosure, I struggle with ARFID (Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder) as a characteristic of my my autism. I tend to only be able to eat the same things every day. It can be quite distressing when food items are discontinued and I have to pivot quickly. When the menu was transitioning with the season and the mango wraps were no longer available, she offered to make them for me without my even asking. I was also able to try the avocado wraps and they are just as delicious! She likely has no idea what that meant to me or why. That her patience and kind gestures made my days so much less stressful. I appreciate her so much, I never want to be a bother to anyone so I rarely ask for accommodations. That she offered to make the old ones, and helped me to feel comfortable trying the new ones by explaining the similarities in the ingredients, made me feel so valued both as a customer and a person. I hope she reads this. Yoojeong, you are a gem of a human being!! Thank you!!”
“This has quickly become my favorite Chinese restaurant in Kitchener. It’s very affordable and perfect for a casual meal. The shrimp dumplings and siomai are so big you can’t even take a bite in one go. I also noticed a little tobiko on top of the siomai, which I had never seen before and thought was a fun touch. The chili oil was really delicious and full of flavor. The restaurant feels cozy and homey, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for tasty, hearty Chinese food without spending too much.”
“The New Owners Of The New Rabbid Fox Have A Great New Menu. Bright And Clean And The Patio Is Inviting!! They have live entertainment Saturdays plus we saw a cool band on the patio one afternoon!! ? ⭐️ Love the burgers and the pizza! ⭐️ Staff are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming! Never a disappointment for lunch or supper!”
“If you're looking for authentic Asian cuisine with a western twist, bento is the way to go. Had a poke bowl for lunch, and it surpassed my expectations. You can pretty much customize anything you want to your liking, making it perfect for vegetarians and vegans. The price is pretty reasonable considering the amount of food you get.”
“We ordered a combo from here as our favourite sushi takeout was closed.
Definitely it’s worth it and we ordered a combo and it came up with multiple different maki, one thing though their rice to fish ratio is really good and that’s very rare as most of the sushi places have lots of rice now instead of filling.
Would definitely recommend to give it a try if you’re around KWC.”
“Best pizza in Ontario. Anna and Reza are hard working, and genuine. Since moving to the GTA 2 years ago, the biggest miss of Kitchener is Rustic. I promise to visit again when COVID is over! I hope you and baby (now toddler) are doing well! All the best!”
“I love they have a lactose free option - I don't even care it's a little bit extra. Pizza is great and it's so nice to actually enjoy pizza without having to make it myself. It's a small action on behalf of the pizza place but it means so much to me. I will be signing up for the rewards program and I will definitely be back.
FOLLOW-UP - ordered again tonight. This pizza is awesome! I've had 4 slices and I'm wondering if I can handle a 5th without making myself sick. Thank you and I did sign up for the rewards program.”
“I had an amazing experience here! The server was incredibly friendly and nice. We asked a couple of questions to decide what to order, and she was really helpful. Based on her recommendation, we had the Peanut Curry Noodles and Bangkok's special rice. As you can see in the picture, the food was so delicious that we cleaned our plates! Definitely going back!!”
“Decent chain experience. Chronically understaffed so service is slow, even when waitstaff are sprinting. Store is relatively clean. Staff is polite, professional and hustle.”
“We went for dinner last night and even though it was busy, the food and service were still great. For classic Italian food, there's nothing better in the area. Our server Tara was friendly and helpful. If you're looking for good Italian food, good atmosphere, and good service - this is the spot!”
“I just had the butter chicken and garlic naan. My wife just had Dal Palak and Malabari Porotta. And it was mouth watering to the last bite. Good job! Well be back.”
“Great place, very friendly people. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Food is excellent”
“We recently held an event at Graffiti Market, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure its success”
“Nothing tasted fresh I struggled to finish the items we ordered. The crab salad had a rotten fish taste to it the sashimi was not fresh the salmon was coming apart when you picked it up the fish seemed to have a taste resembling being improperly frozen for too long.The presentation was terrible like cafeteria style. It was cheaper than all the other AYCE sushi restaurants...but for a reason it is the lowest quality in the K W area. We actually left still hungry on a positive note the waitress was really nice.

“We got wings and garlic bread. Wings were delicious. We got sweet and sour flavor. The service was great. The restaurant is extremely clean. The staff is polite. Looking forward to going back to the same location again to try other flavors of wings. Lots of parking outside. We did a takeout. Overall it was a great experience for my family.”
“How this place ONLY has a 4.0 is beyond me. Took my 9- and 11-year-old here before basketball practice and was BLOWN away. The BEST BEEF BROCCOLI I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. We got the most basic 'americanized' versions of food (kids), but other folks were there eatng things that looked incredible. Will be back, will order better, but extremely satisfied. Food was hot, fresh, and despite being huge portions, my kids ate almost all of it. Which is telling. Great service too!”

I highly recommend this Bar Burrito location for both the service and the overall experience.”
“The best Popeyes I have been to in the last few years.
Many other locations I have been to, the quality has gone down drastically - but here the service has been great, and the food is always fresh and consistent.
They are definitely changing the oil much more than the other locations too because other places have a very weird taste a lot of the times.”

“Absolutely fantastic experience at Volume! If you're looking for authentic Middle Eastern food, this is your place. The service was friendly, attentive, and very professional from start to finish. The restaurant has a warm, inviting atmosphere that was perfect for our large group. It’s great to finally have a spot like this in Kitchener-Waterloo. We’ll definitely be back!”
“My favourite cafe. Creative high quality drinks and treats at a reasonable price. Both the Blue Icii and Pandan Mochi were delicious. Friendly staff and beautifully decorated. I just love it! Its also not busy during weekdays Ive noticed.
Update: I’ve visited way too many times to count since this review and wanted to share that the quality has remained consistent, friendly staff, quick service, and the ambiance of the cafe is so charming and cozy. They also host a variety of unique events like gilmore girl nights and craft events which I think is amazing! It’s a really nice spot to people watch, read, or draw.
My new favourite menu item (which I’ve had 4 times), is their blueberry earl grey matcha. I hope they make it a permanent menu item it’s SO GOOD. Even if you’re not a blueberry fan it just tastes so fresh and delightful and perfect you need to try it. I have also had their cherry blossom donut, raspberry scone, orange sherbet drink (I can’t remember the exact name), cereal milk latte and they’ve all been great.”
“Great food great service by Anchal and the team. Must visit and must order veg BBQ Platter
Only problem - Too much Noise, had to request like 3 times to bring it down.
People are here to spend time with friends and families and talk but this noise only makes it hard for everyone one to hear.”
“I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The service was excellent from start to finish friendly, attentive, and quick. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the paratha and the shahi korma. The paratha was perfectly soft and flaky, and the shahi korma was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Taste of Seoul did not disappoint! Every dish is flavourful, delicious, and feels so clean and fresh. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Truly one of the best Korean restaurants we’ve tried so far — perfect for a quick and satisfying stop in Kitchener.””
“Incredible Breakfast place. I got a Chive and Cheddar Scone and a Bacon Buddy.
First of all the scone...i got a cheddar and chive scone and it was unbelievable! Soft, flakey and full of flavour. Hands down best ive had in town...better than the Sconery!
I then got the bacon buddy breakfast sandwich. I gotta say the price put me off..$17 for a breakfast sandwich is alot....but it was worth it! The bread is a fresh made croissant like bun. The egg was perfectly cooked. The bacon was thick and not to salty. The whole thing just melted in the mouth. It's the second best breakfast sandwich I've ever had and well worth the money.
Then it came with home fries which I did not realize when I ordered. Again surprised by the quality. I don't love home fries but these were well cut, fried crispy outside and fluffy inside. I finished them all.
Highly recommend. I will be back.”
“Finally went for the first time tonight. It's take out, so no 'atmosphere' to speak of, aside from the staff was super friendly. I got the shredded chicken sandwich. There is a bit of a language barrier as I didn't know what the topping options were. She did ask me if I wanted spicy, which I said no. She added the veggie mix, carrots and something with a mild pickling, cucumber a leafy green and a mild sauce, she heated it up and I also got an order of the spring rolls.
The sub was really good. The bun had a crispy/flaky crust and was soft inside. The filling had a really nice flavor. The spring rolls were so crispy and tasted fantastic. Great value with $6.50 for any of the subs and the spring rolls were $5.00 for 5. I will definitely go back.”
“I don’t know where to start with this one. It has to be one of the best cafe in town tucked away in some streets of downtown Kitchener. It has one of the best coffees and sometimes the line up and get overwhelming and their almost no place for tables and it’s small cafe it’s always full. I had their cappuccino and it’s really nice and they have different varieties of filled donuts which are delicious and scones. I would definitely suggest visiting early as most of the things will be sold out my late afternoon.”
“recently I enjoyed chili momo and vegetable noodles, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were well-balanced, and the food was served hot and fresh. The front desk server provided exceptional service — polite, attentive, and professional throughout my visit. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“I recently dined at Raja Chettinad Fine Indian Cuisine for the first time, and it was an outstanding experience. The food was the best Indian cuisine I’ve ever had, flavourful, authentic, and beautifully prepared. The service was friendly, attentive, and truly excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Northern and Southern Indian dishes. I will definitely be returning!”
