The best dim sum I've had in Ottawa!
The place is busy so expect a wait, but it's worth the wait! We ordered a bit of everything and it is as all very tasty.
The service is kind, quick, and efficient.
Five of us are very well and the bill at the end was more than responsible.
Will definitely be returning!

This is a great choice for any type of Chinese food, (dim sum, Cantonese…) one of the best in Ottawa (if not the best). However compared to New York or Toronto, Ottawa struggles when it comes to Chinese food.
Price wise it’s a great bang for your buck, the dim sum is perfect for more budget friendly consumers.

Cafe Orient is a unique treasure in Ottawa. Its menu is cha chaan teng, a fusion of Cantonese comfort dishes with Western tweists that Hong Kong is famous for and is quickly disappearing in Canada. Great service, good value.
