“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!”
“The food and selection is amazing. Staff were great. Parking is so much better than the old location.”
“Place is great.
Food always hits, compliments to the chef.
Service awesome, got Julia back to back days, remembered our orders, timely service etc. Never a bad time.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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 had an amazing experience at barBURRITO Harman! The staff member I interacted with was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. They made sure my order was perfect and took the time to recommend great options. The service was fast, the food was fresh and delicious, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming.
Huge thanks to the team for providing such outstanding customer service — definitely 5 out of 5 stars! I’ll be coming back again!”
“Golf’s is our special place for special occasions like birthdays, graduations, promotions, family get togethers, etc. we have been going to Golf’s for over 40 years to celebrate. Great food and view of the river ❤️👌”
“I thoroughly enjoy going to Charcoal and usually get the fish tacos. This last time I went the fish tacos had changed slightly and they were passable but I still think the previous one was far better.”

“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.”
“Everything was amazing! We sat on the patio and it was such a great atmosphere. The food was absolutely phenomenal, the chicken Marsala was so flavourful and the bread in the pot is so adorable! Our server was wonderful, and everyone else we interacted with was really attentive and friendly. We will definitely eat here again!”
“Easily my favourite Palestinian spot in Waterloo Region. The service is consistently kind and attentive, and the portions are so generous you’ll almost always head home with leftovers. Their fresh pita is pillowy and addictive, and the mana’eesh has officially ruined pizza for me. I also tried the Palestine Cola and loved it.”
“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.”
“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. 💕☕👑”
“Excellent food, we had mixed platter for two and it was more than plenty so we had to take some home , also great service, highly recommended restaurant! Definitely coming back.”

“Drive past the McDonald's next door and stop here for your craving. The staff are so lovely and they are obsessed with making sure your food is FRESH. Ali (not sure about the spelling) in particular is so thoughtful, attentive, and sweet. The best location by far.”
“I’ve been to many Tim Hortons locations, but this one truly stands out as one of the best in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is always calm, and the team consistently treats customers with kindness, respect, and genuine smiles—it really makes a difference in starting the day right.
A special thank you to the manager, Meseret, for leading such a wonderful team. You can clearly see the positive environment reflected in the service. Also, a big shoutout to the two lovely staff members who are always so friendly and welcoming—you make every visit enjoyable.
It’s rare to find a place where service feels this genuine. Highly recommended!”
“As a Gas Station Tim’s, I am genuinely shocked at the consistency. I stop by every day for a French Vanilla 1/2 coffee and it is always good. Often other Tim’s have no powder in the French Vanilla machine or the coffee is grinds. That never happens here! Keep up the amazing work!”
““I recently visited this McDonald’s and had a really positive experience overall. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming and polite, which made a good first impression. Even though the restaurant was a bit busy, the team worked efficiently and my order was ready much faster than I expected. The food was fresh, hot, and exactly how I like it. The fries were crispy and perfectly salted, and the burger was well prepared and tasted great.
Another thing I appreciated was how clean and organized the restaurant was. The dining area, tables, and floor were well maintained, which made it comfortable to sit and enjoy the meal. It’s always nice to see a fast-food restaurant that pays attention to cleanliness and customer service. The staff also seemed to work well together and handled the busy rush in a professional way.
Overall, this location provides a reliable and enjoyable experience. If you’re looking for a quick meal with fast service, good quality food, and a clean environment, this McDonald’s is definitely a good choice. I would happily visit again and recommend it to anyone who wants a quick and satisfying bite.”😋”
“I want to recognize Harleen for her excellent customer service. She always greets customers with a smile and is consistently friendly and welcoming. I have met her several times, but I noticed her name on her name tag last Wednesday, and I wanted to make sure she gets the appreciation she deserves.
Her positive attitude and great service really stand out. Employees like Harleen make the experience much better.”
“Best and most friendliest service ever!!! Helps that they have delicious food too!!!”
“We visited Volume last Sunday to celebrate our anniversary. We had a very wonderful time there. Freshly prepared grilled fish meal which was very flavorful and tasty! The manager was very patient to answer all our questions. Definitely our best eat out experience in the area. We will surely be back soon....Keep it up!,”

“This restaurant! I can say they serve very authentic Korean food which has awesome taste of Korea now. I've been Canada for almost 5 years but I come and go so I know how's Korean food changing for the better. I highly recommend here. The owner and staff were so kind and friendly!! :)”
“This was my third visit to Shivas Dosa, and today’s experience stood out because of Priyanshi’s excellent service.
Her smile was genuine, her service felt very natural We had a baby with us, and she brought a small dessert spoon for our baby to eat with, provided a high chair without us asking, assisted my wife, and even helped with the door.
The biryani and dosa were both delicious and fresh.. She made us feel welcome, as if we were guests in someone’s home rather than customers at a restaurant.
We will definitely be coming back. Thank you, for the excellent service and food.
Regards to owners”
“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!”

“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.””

“I see people lined up at ice cream shops all over town and I'm sure those are good shops, and I have been to some of them and they are, but the gold standard is this place. If you're looking for chocolate ice cream, World Class Chocolate is appropriately named and Chocolate Fudge, when available, is the ultimate.”
“I have been here many times and it is consistently amazing! The food is all homemade and fresh to order so be prepared for a wait as they are a small team, but it is totally worth it. Their drinks are also highly recommended.”
“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.”
“We found this restaurant by chance while looking for something close to us and decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised from the first encounter.The staff was very friendly and helped us with the description of each dish because we are not familiar with the names of the dishes. Everything we ordered was very delicious, flavorful (the spices in each dish were plentiful)and decent portions that we couldn't even eat.The naan bread was the best I've ever eaten. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere cosy.”

It’s a great venue but made so much better because of Carley. She is absolutely the best!”
“Good food, all the dishes we tried were really delicious. We got the mango margarita which was simply awesome. The sizzlers were really nice and the momos, and chat as well. Their sizzling brownie was divine. Highly recommend trying it”

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.”
“First time visiting downtown Kitchener at the Walper Hotel & so happy to find this amazing Speakeasy right across the street. Justin (bartender/owner) was absolutely amazing. Super friendly atmosphere along with delicious cocktails & retro music. What more can you ask for?”
“Ehrmahgawd! 😻 The best antijitos I've ever eaten bar none! 🔥”
“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 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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Waterloo students have to venture far for dim sum but this is worth it. Came here after a beautiful baptism and rest assured this is a wonderful first meal for a new life in Christ”
“love the fairway location best. The staff are so wonderful and always efficient. They make amazing quality food.”
“Wonderful AYCE sushi! Definitely worth a try, sushi was fresh and tasty!”
“Great communication and no wait time for curb side pickup. Can’t wait to come back!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“Friendly staff. Awesome to chill and talk with friends and enjoy the food”
“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!”
“Great place and highly recommended! I will definitely come back and the staff was amazing.”
“Very delicious and nutritious ramen. If you love ramen then you have got to try these. They are the best. Excellent quality noodles, protein, broth and toppings. I get the frozen ones. They are so easy to heat up in a bowl. The Kaizen Warrior is my favourite. I also like the spicy chicken one the most.”
“Fantastic Food, flavour is out of this world and staff has always been friendly and speedy! The restaurant is A family staple of ours!”
“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!!!”
“Ordered the lockdown special and was pleased. so. much. food. And the burn your face-off wing sauce did NOT disappoint”

“Good vibes, great food and live bands. Was there in Wednesday night for karaoke and had a blast!! Nice relaxed place to unwind!!”
“Came in to watch the basketball game tonight and the place was packed, but Maya absolutely killed it behind the bar. Even with how busy it was, she stayed friendly, attentive, and on top of everything all night. Drinks were great, food came out fast, and she made sure everyone was taken care of despite handling the whole crowd. You could tell she was working incredibly hard and still gave amazing service. Honestly impressive how much chaos Maya was handling at once while still staying calm. Definitely one of the best experiences we’ve had at a sports bar in a long time!”
“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 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 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!!”
“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.”
“First time ordering and thoroughly enjoyed the 9 items ordered!!!! Already looking forward to the next order!”
“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!”
“Excellent Pad Tai with just the right amount of spice. I requested medium spicy and found it perfect. My wife's Sesame chicken was also delicious. The best spring rolls I have tasted too.
We will definitely be back when we are in town again.”
“Great place, very friendly people. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Food is excellent”
“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 had another great experience here celebrating my wife's birthday with friends. One of our favourite restaurants.... the food, service and atmosphere is always fantastic. They really do make you feel like family. Thank you !”
“The staff was so kind, and accommodated my request after I placed my order. I appreciate that very much, and give them a big thumbs-up!! Thank-you for great service! 😊”
“The best we can ever find here is the customer service. We had a waitress name chaitlia (sorry if I misspelled). Excellent customer she made sure we received the food on time. And also one thing me and girlfriend liked, she was always welcoming and smiling which is a difficult thing to do. In regards to the food we ordered chettinad chicken curry which was fantastic.”

“We got an americano coffee and it was great. I want to specially mention the manager Johnny, my phone was super low battery and he helped me out and lended me his charger as an act of kindness. That’s going beyond what’s required for you to do as a service and he was extremely kind the whole time.
The store was also clean.”
“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.”

“Forgot to take photos before we started digging in so photos are pretty much of half eaten food (oops). The atmosphere was very cozy and the service was very friendly. Satisfied my craving for decent katsu. The side dishes included miso soup, kimchi, and this other spicy turnip. Good quality food for a good value!! Couldn’t find free parking but the lot behind crabby’s wasn’t too bad ($2.50/hour).”
“We visited Volume last Sunday to celebrate our anniversary. We had a very wonderful time there. Freshly prepared grilled fish meal which was very flavorful and tasty! The manager was very patient to answer all our questions. Definitely our best eat out experience in the area. We will surely be back soon....Keep it up!,”
“We found this restaurant by chance while looking for something close to us and decided to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised from the first encounter.The staff was very friendly and helped us with the description of each dish because we are not familiar with the names of the dishes. Everything we ordered was very delicious, flavorful (the spices in each dish were plentiful)and decent portions that we couldn't even eat.The naan bread was the best I've ever eaten. The prices are reasonable and the atmosphere cosy.”
“We recently visited Whoopsie Daisy Drinks and absolutely loved our experience! I ordered the strawberry matcha latte and my husband had the blueberry Earl Grey matcha latte — both were incredibly delicious. The flavors were perfectly balanced, refreshing, and not overly sweet. You can really taste the quality in every sip.
One thing that stood out was the service — the barista personally brought our drinks to the table, which was such a thoughtful and welcoming touch. It made the whole experience feel extra special.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for unique, flavorful drinks and great customer service. We’ll 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.””
“Tram Anh’s Subs is the go-to spot for anyone craving authentic, mouthwatering Vietnamese Banh Mi in downtown Kitchener, ON. The staff are welcoming and friendly, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere the moment you walk in.
The bread is made in-house and it shows. Light, airy, and perfectly crisp on the outside, with just the right chewiness inside. Each bite complements the fresh, flavorful fillings beautifully, making the sandwiches unforgettable. The care and skill in baking the bread elevate the entire dining experience, and it is clear that no shortcuts are taken.
Hygiene is clearly a top priority. The space is spotless, and the kitchen maintains a level of cleanliness that gives confidence in every meal.
The food overall is amazing. Every sandwich is packed with fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and attention to detail. Whether visiting for a quick lunch or bringing friends along, Tram Anh’s consistently delivers a high-quality, satisfying experience.”
“Best coffee in KW for sure! Complex coffee options for those wanting a pour over or a lighter espresso option and also classic espresso for those wanting a delicious latte. Great selection of beans from all over the world. Amazing light roast drip coffee that they rotate frequently, always my go to! And you can’t forget about their pastries - made fresh and all 10/10.”
“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!”
“Earlier today me and my family were served by Amy She was kind and helped my family out and was a overall good server definitely would go again thank you”
