“各類食物都很滿意！100分“

“If you’re looking for authentic, delicious, and reasonably priced Cantonese or Hong Kong–style food in Ottawa, JadeLand (翠园酒家) in Chinatown is absolutely one of the best choices in the city!

I’ve been here several times, both with friends and family, and every visit has been a great experience. The menu is extensive and full of classic Cantonese dishes. I highly recommend the BBQ meat platter, stir-fried rice noodles with beef (干炒牛河), black bean spare ribs, salt & pepper squid, and stir-fried gai lan with XO sauce. Everything is flavorful and freshly made — just like the restaurants back in Hong Kong or Guangdong.

Their dim sum is also excellent. The har gow (shrimp dumplings), siu mai (pork dumplings), and chicken feet are all top-notch — thin skin, juicy fillings, and great texture. You can really taste the care in how everything is prepared.

The atmosphere is not fancy or modern, but it’s clean, bright, and has that nostalgic, traditional Hong Kong tea house vibe. It feels cozy and welcoming. The staff — including the owner — are very friendly, attentive, and speak both English and Chinese fluently. Service is fast, and dishes always come out hot and fresh.

One of the best parts? The prices. For the quality and portion sizes, this place offers amazing value. On our last visit, four of us shared about 6–7 dishes and dim sum, and we were all full — and the bill was under $30 per person. That’s hard to beat in Ottawa.

All in all, JadeLand is a hidden gem for Cantonese food lovers. Whether you’re coming for lunch, dinner, or weekend dim sum, it’s a place I’ll continue coming back to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious broth, BBQ’d meats. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal“

“First and foremost they got this sick robot, it even says goodbye to you. Secondly the foods good, the rolls are massive and they have a great selection, never tried the cream cheese ones cuz why would I, but they have quite a few of them. I always leave stuffed and have no complaints, except their cream cheese rolls, I would take a salmon cucumber only roll in exchange for the removal of all the cream cheese rolls. Also cool lights above table, like they don’t suit the establishment vibe at all but they’re really cool looking. Definitely recommend for everyone, so much so I felt the need to leave a review. Please think about that salmon cucumber roll sushi village people, also a Malona at the end of dinner would be sick too, but they do have dessert so like why am I complaining. I never even eat dessert, I just get more sushi“

“Best shrimp fried rice in town. Love the golden mushroom soup. Most times food is delicious, but occasionally there are food issues like great fried rice with old stale peas. A few time wrong food was prepared and man who hosts is too serious. He needs to smile more. Over all recommend, but could improve a few things.“
