Overall the food isn't necessarily bad however shrinkflation appears to have caught on at Olly Fresco's as well. The chicken portions in the salads appear noticeably smaller than before so now you're paying the same price for a bunch of lettuce.
Doing this to customers will not revive the downtown core or make up for lost COVID revenue. All it will do is alienate customers and stop them from spending.

They're generous and the food is good. On multiple days, at closing, I've seen managers gifting food to the building cleaners. There are a lot of pretty wealthy people working at 50 O'Connor/ 99 Bank. The cleaners are not among that group. I've seen Olly Fresco's giving often enough to know it's not an accident/one off. I'm impressed, and as a result I buy lunch from you more often. Thanks!

Got a take-out container from the hot food line with about 1 scoop of fried rice, a chicken cutlet, about a scoop of General tso's chicken & crispy beef, a little bit of beef, onions & peppers, and 1 egg roll.
The rice wasn't very good, it was overcooked. The chicken parm cutlet was pretty dried out, the cheese was congealed and the sauce was a paste. The eggroll tasted okay but wasn't crispy. The crispy beef & General tao's chicken had essentially no sauce on it and was bland on it's own but had an okay texture. The beef/onion/pepper was pretty bland as well.
The price was about $24, for less food than I'd get in a combo plate from a Chinese takeout place that they'd charge $5 less for, and would also have better quality. I was quite surprised by the price when I got to the cash, and I got nothing else with it.
Quantity for price is not good at all. Quality for price is not good at all. It is very convenient and you can pick what you want, which is nice, but unfortunately it seems like the options are all at best, mediocre.

I have been eating here for a while, the food is freshly made, a lot of varieties and healthy fresh salads, in addition to the grill section. The prices are very good, it is by weight so you dont waste food and money.

Nice setup but the food is extremely overpriced and doesn’t taste good. They weigh the food and you can easily be paying $25-$40 for breakfast or lunch for a decent portion size, be mindful of this.
Can’t speak for the area where they make to-go dishes, but I can confidently say that the hash browns taste like they were heated right out of the freezer, eggs are tasteless, mid breakfast overall.
The lunch isn’t any better. Overall, the food looks better than it tastes. There’s better places in the area, I’ve wasted too much money here and been disappointed every time. They won’t see another dime from me, respectfully.

Seems to have a nice variety and a lunch buffet. On the other hand, the employees are not on time. the restaurant is supposed to open at 7am, I waited until 7:05am and they never opened the doors. This lack of professionalism meant that I chose to get my lunch elsewhere during my break.
