50 Best Chinese Restaurants near Vanier

“Very fast service. Ordered online with no problem and picked up in the store 12 minutes later. The parking lot is a bit ridiculous to navigate, especially if it's busy. The food was pretty good. I've had better but I've had a lot worse.“

“Best Chinese food I’ve had in a long long time. I had comb. Plate #4. There were big chunks of chicken in the chicken balls and the garlic spare ribs were the most tender, meat falling of the bones. Thank you.“

“This upscale Chinese restaurant offers a delightful experience with high-quality dishes and impressive presentation. The duck dish is thoughtfully crafted. The staff are well-trained, providing clear and informative explanations of the menu items. The ambiance is serene and spotless, making it an ideal spot for a quiet dinner. The washroom could benefit from more frequent cleaning to maintain the overall high standard of the restaurant.

While the prices are higher than typical Chinese restaurants, the elevated dining experience justifies the cost. However, the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected, especially considering the price point. A slightly more generous serving would enhance the overall dining experience.

This restaurant located on a busy street in the market area, parking can be challenging on weekends—plan accordingly.“

“Amazing food and big portion!🤤“

“Went in randomly for lunch. Ordered spicy chicken with rice. It came with salad on side I think it’s seaweed.
I was quite surprised how nicely spiced it was and how huge the proportion was. It was hot and I loved every bit of it. Presentation was great too.
I have never had Chinese food this good before. Definitely coming back.“

“Discovered this restaurant today and happy we did. The food was excellent, great experience allowing us to cook our meal while chatting. Attentive service, excellent quality. A lot of food in the options. We really loved the experience and will definitely return.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sammi & Soupe Dumpling in Ottawa, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience! The food was incredibly delicious and truly exceeded my expectations. Personally, I found their dumplings and other dishes to be even more flavorful and satisfying than famous dimsum places.

What truly made the experience memorable, beyond the fantastic food, was the exceptionally kind and attentive staff. They were so welcoming and friendly, especially towards the children. Their warm hospitality made us feel incredibly comfortable and happy throughout our meal. It was such a pleasant and heartwarming visit. I highly recommend Sammi & Soupe Dumpling to anyone looking for amazing food and wonderful service in Ottawa!“

“We usually eat here and it is very good. The meat are fresh and the soup base is tasty unlike others“

“We tried the vegan tofu bao tonight - first time visiting. It was delicious, as was the slaw we ordered on the side. The service was also exuberant. We will definitely be back!“

“One of my go-to places for Chinese food in Ottawa. The taste is authentically Shanghainese and tastes just like the food I've eaten in Shanghai. Their pork wonton soup and spicy beef brisket noodles are my go-to (of course, with their pan fried buns), and are delicious with generous portion sizes. Their shop is a bit small though, so it's good to go early or call ahead to get a spot! Their pan fried buns are also perfect to re-heat in the air fryer if you get take out.“

“Excellent food and excellent service. Strongly recommend!“

“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!“

“Recently order take out from the Oriental House. Order was ready in 20 minutes. Great Chinese food, and very fresh..I suggest you try their Egg rolls and Spring rolls..very good 👍..also, the vegetable steamed rice, I was very impressed by the freshness of the vegetables in this rice dish..Oriental House offers delivery, I chose the pick up servers..but, if you want, they also have dine in service, got to say it's a very cute atmosphere and when I have dined in had excellent service. And, they also serve alcohol 🍸 drinks on their menu for dine in only.“

“Ordered the braised beef soup, medium-spicy. Amazing is the only word to describe it. Perfectly tender beef, great noodles, broth was very rich and perfectly spiced. Service was friendly, and definitely a take out atmosphere, but extremely authentic and delicious. Hidden gem, definitely worth a try.“

“Meilleur chinois en ville! Bon, frais et chaud! L'accueil chaleureux.. la dame qui répond toujours polie et gentille. Je vous le recommande fortement.“

“Love this little hidden gem!
The food was amazing and the staff was so pleasant.
I was able ask for the veggie options of the noodles and they even gave me extra sauce.
I also have a soft spot for people who include the taxes in their prices.
This might become a regular spot for me.“

“Amazing take out. Definitely recommend going yourself and getting it as it's ready in 20 minutes. Delivery takes 45ish. Their food is great! Our favourites are the egg rolls, beef and broccoli, and shanghai noodles! Definitely a take out (not dine in!) place. Kind of hole-in-the-wall-esque. But the food more than makes up for the decor!“

“Lucky King reminds me of the Chinese Food I used to eat in North Toronto. Lucky has a taste like I am in China.“

“I’ve visited Yunshang Rice Noodle a couple of times with friends, and every visit has been consistently good. The flavours taste close to the original style — comforting, familiar, and satisfying. Service has always been smooth, and the atmosphere is relaxed, making it an easy spot to enjoy a quick meal together.

The location is convenient too, especially if you work downtown. I’m already thinking about coming back tomorrow for lunch.

Next time I’ll remember to add some photos — this place deserves a few.“

“This Chinese restaurant is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool and the staff is also really friendly. Service was delightful and very professional. The food is good and good value for money. Great noodles options and appetizers. 100 percent recommended .“

“I’ve been coming here at least monthly for the last few years. I’ve introduced so many of my friends and family to this place because it’s absolutely incredible. The food is delicious, the portions are huge and the price is even better! They have the best wonton soup I’ve ever had, and their dry peanut noodles with beef is also amazing. Everything is made by hand and fresh to order too and it reflects in the taste and quality.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! We ordered for takeout and the food was perfectly packed. We brought it home and it was eaten in minutes! My 5 year old daughter said it was the best Chinese food she’s ever had and LOVED the beef with black bean sauce and the shrimp spring rolls. She had the leftover chicken pad thai for lunch today. Highly recommend this place!“

“Je ne parles pas anglais et pour cette raison il y a eu une erreur dans ma commande. Quand j'ai tenté de m'expliquer je me suis fait crié et sacré dessus parce que le mr. Derrière le comptoir n'aime pas ça quand on lui parle en français. D'ailleurs je tiens à ajouter qu'il n'y aucun bon restaurant chinois à Gatineau, si on était à Montréal le niveau de leur nourriture serait clairement en dessous de la moyenne et il ferait faillite!“

“量大味道又超级好，值得推荐“

“The menu has completely changed. We ordered for the first time in a long time, and everything was different. Disappointing to think you are ordering from an old favorite, and then find it is basically a new restaurant in the same place as the old one.
The food we got was fine.“

“OUR #1 TAKE OUT FOR CHINESE CUISINE AT HOME, AT FRIENDS AND WHEN AT WORK WITH COLLEAGUES FOR OVER 30 YRS. AND HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED. WE HAVE RECOMMENDED CYPRESS GARDEN TO MANY FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES OVER THE YEARS AS WELL. WE HOPE THEY WILL BE AROUND FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!“

“Love these guys. Typical Chinese-Canadian food, have been ordering the combo F for over a decade. Food is simple, but very tasty. Also, years ago (before uber eats and all that), I was actually missing a buck or two (mistake on my part, didn't count my money right like a first year university student that can't handle his liquor quite yet) and their delivery guy was nice enough to give me the food anyways. Haven't forgotten, and am still a loyal and grateful customer more than 10 years later. BTW, I'm very much looking forward to my combo F, which is scheduled to arrive in 10 minutes!“

“This business has many years of history that's obvious. Delicious food consistently served in takeout format and they don't forget stuff. Preparing good food quickly and serving with a smile using REASONABLE prices, who can do that!!!

Vegetarian options: I would not eat vegetarian but every item is beautifully and freshly made with good quality and decent amounts. I am so happy“

“I normally go in to purchase BBQ pork and go home to mix it with noodles. I decided to try a full meal today and wasn't disappointed at all. Make sure that you ask for sauce as it boosted everything else. the lady was very nice and so was the gentleman waiting around while taking the time to explain the different items that they sell. It was fantastic on all levels.

Parking: You can park on Upper Lorne which is just around the corner from DH.“

“Best there is. We won't even try anybody else now because no one so far even comes close.
Do I get the free food now?....just kidding.

New review August 2025
I think they have a different cook now the food has changed a fair bit and not for the good. ie general tso chicken was very tough.
We only have this as a treat to ourselves and our guests. I guess those days are gone. We will go to Party Pizza instead.“

“I tried their new recipe bun Bo hu, it is really tasty. I even finish all soup as well. It is spicy but really good. My husband tried their passion fruit iced tea and black pepper beef tender rice. He likes it too. Will definitely come back. The service is good!“

“Just had the Singapore Noodles (vemicelli) and Crispy beef... oh..... my.... gawd!!! So good! Definitely recommend and will order again next time I'm working in the area. Also friendly staff.“

“Went in and ordered the family of 3 meal!!! Awesome, so awesome I stopped just to rate yous. Topped it off with the speed at which it was ready. Told us 15 minutes. Last time I checked it took me 3 seconds to blinked. We'll I blinked and it was ready. Keep up the great work and see you again soon!!“

“We went during the Victoria Day long weekend after going to the Ottawa Tulip Festival. All restaurants were busy that weekend and although we made a reservation at a different restaurant, they reached capacity and the long wait would have gotten us late to see the fireworks and drone show. This restaurant was able to seat us and the two girls working there were so accommodating, patient and sweet. Food was great and the decor was cute! Will definitely go again to try other dishes.“

“The food is perfectly seasoned, enjoyed the curry beef ,beef broccoli tiny hint of cinnamon.
If you have never had deep fried spinach with the perfect amount of sugar, this is the place.
Food is quick to come out.
If I could give 10 stars I would.“

“Had such a great time here! The food was delicious, and the karaoke setup was top-notch. Perfect place to hang out with friends, enjoy tasty dishes, and sing our hearts out. Highly recommend if you’re looking for both good food and fun entertainment!“

“best chinese food i love the open end egg rolls i drive from orleans just to eat.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Thanks for the amazing food! We’ll be back for sure. 😀“

“Yes, i’ve been ordering from Cathays since I moved here five years ago. Delicious food, great portions, and for a reasonable price. I highly recommend the Cathays special fried rice. 👌🏽“

“Très bon service, un beau petit buffet pas cher. Content d'être tombé dessus durant nos vacances. Par contre, pas de dessert en dehors des biscuits. Si vous êtes une bibitte à sucre, ce n'est peut-être pas votre restaurant idéal.“

“Bought take out here many times over many years. Tasty and o.k. but it seems to be getting sweeter and sweeter. More people who are watching their sugar in take should be aware. (Diabetics)“

“Been ordering from Wan's for many years. Always a big hit with the whole family. They can get busy on special occasion days (like New Years Eve, Mothers Day and Canada Day) but we know this and order with this in mind. Ordered this evening and they thru in a free 2024 calendar. 😀😀 Happy Year of the Dragon.“

“Food is excellent. Better than welcome back and golden palace. A must try.“

“Excellent choices!! Love the Won Ton soup and the egg rolls are always amazing!!!“

“I came here for dinner after a long day at work. The owner and cook made me feel such a warm welcome, it felt like coming loving home than a restaurant. Speaking with the staff, I felt genuinely cared for and a part of the family. The food was flavourful and filling, made fresh on the spot. I highly recommend coming here for the food and welcoming atmosphere!“

“Everything is simply awesome. The menus are simple, with a lot if options. The service is very polite and friendly (and online ordering is a big plus), food is delivered very promptly (one time it was 15 minutes early!). The food portions are generous, but quality is not sacrificed for quantity. What's a cool plus is that they use a mix of Styrofoam and reusable plastic containers (not only better for storage but a little less wasteful). I have only eaten 3 times from here, but have been very happy all times. The fried rice, general tao chicken, chicken balls, and egg rolls (among like 5 others I've tried) have all tasted great. Definitely think I've found my new Chinese delivery / take out place!“

“I had the dinner for one number one combo, and I have to say that it was absolutely delicious. The beef and broccoli stir-fry was excellent, the chicken fried rice was really good, the pork ribs were very tender and juicy, and the spring roll was super crunchy and very delicious. I highly recommend.“

“Very good food and well priced. Buffet is always kept up with plenty of food and if something is missing they will put it out for you.
I've had the same server each time I've been there and she is friendly and helpful.
Great place for a big lunch“

“The lady working the counter is very friendly, and the food is absolutely delicious as well as being a pretty decent price for the amount and quality of it. Only detracting part for me is that it's in a mall food court, but otherwise an excellent place to get something to eat.“
