“Has been our go-to restaurant when we are around downtown Ottawa since the location opened. Great services and they have the most authentic and delicious Sichuan dishes in town. They also have a wide range of non-spicy dishes to choose from.“

“Checked out thier food for the first time, and it was really good I had never tried Vietnamese food before but the flavors were incredible, Seriously, their pad thai was mind-blowing. The staff was also really friendly and made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to go back and explore more of their menu. Definitely a good spot to try.“

“Loved discovering this place through an Instagram account that showcases local Ottawa eateries. Although we had never ate at a place like this "build your own hotpot", it was straight forward to grab a large bowl and use the provided tongs for picking your ingredients. Your bowl is weighed and you choose from 1 of 4 soup bases to be added to your chosen fixings while it's cooked. We felt it was good value and greatly enjoyed our meals. It was a nice quiet environment, the staff were attentive to filling our water glasses, and we left our bowls on the table when we were done as the staff clear the tables frequently. I can't wait to return with my husband and show him how good of a spot it is!??“

“A gem of a place. I had never tried this type of bbq experience so it was with a little trepidation that I went with my son but it was fantastic. Our hostess was super kind and friendly and explained everything, helped with our choices. The meats, sauces, spices and vegetables were amazing. Definitely will be going back again.“

“Great food for a great price! We first came here three years ago and the quality is still the same. They have good options, and the food is simple but homey and delicious. I highly recommend the big wonton soup! We’ll definitely be back when we’re in Ottawa. They don’t seem to have a washroom available (at least when we went), but otherwise it was really awesome!“

“We saw this place and decided to give it a try, our first time trying this cuisine. We ordered Schezuan Chicken and Special Lamb Skewers. These were very delicious and juicy. We also ordered a Spicy and Sour base soup with Orleans Chicken and this was so flavourful with the perfect spice level. Keep in mind the Mild is pretty spicy to begin with.Thw service was impressive and fast. We are pleasantly surprised and would definitely be a regular.“

“It’s a Chinese fine dining in town. Good quality food with excellent presentation for each dish. Well trained staffs and they explained well for each food items on the menu. Very clean and quiet environment for dinner. Washroom is clean. Price definitely is a bit higher than other Chinese restaurants. This restaurant is located in a busy street at the market area so it may not be easy to find a parking spot on the weekend.“

“Quality of food has gone downhill. General Tao chicken was sour and house fried rice was basically chicken fried rice with 2 shrimp thrown in. Very disappointed.“

“Well priced and great tasting noodles, but a bit crowded.The noodles are excellent when it's hot, and they are by far tastier when you eat at the restaurant (I've ordered here with an app before) but the place is a quite cramped with 4 2-seat tables and 1 4-seat tables.And occasionally the wait time is a bit long as they seam to prioritize call in and app orders over once in restaurant. But for all the things I dislike, eating the fresh noodles when they come to your table is fantastic!??“

“We had not been back for a couple years, lots of other new places to try, lots of other reasons. But, Saturday had us searching for something different, and we ended up at one of our past favourites. In the past, always very good. But tonight, super fantastic ! Everything was GREAT !We ordered from across the menu, picking out some of the tougher dishes to get right, including the BBQ duck, and I am VERY picky when it comes to a properly cooked duck. From the won ton soup starter, the egg rolls, and a half dozen different rice, meat, and veggie dishes …….. everything, I mean EVERYTHING, was fantastic ! Also, the staff, super team approach, all dishes to the table piping hot, every need taken care of, and all super polite. Worth the price and was glad to tip for great service.“

“This is one of the best places to get Chinese food in the Ottawa/Gatineau area. They are so accommodating to my very weird allergies (celery) and take extra steps to ensure that my food is safe. I honestly cannot recommend them enough. Their food is delicious, the staff is extremely friendly, and we thoroughly enjoy visiting them every couple months as a treat. Please give them a try. They have amazing food, an awesome team, and they're a great addition to our community. I can't say enough about this great restaurant!! This review is my own, and I was not compensated to write it.“

“Best chinese takeout in the byward market hands down. Highly recommend!It has become my girlfriends and mine go to spot for comfort food! Reasonably priced but not cheap. Well worth it! Only 4 star for atmosphere because you cannot sit in and dine as its a small place and only meant for pickups. Other than that its great authentic chinese!“

“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!“

“Had the mapo tofu and braised eggplant with garlic and chilli. So good! If you have a spice tolerance, it won’t be over the top but has enough tingling heat to balance the flavour. Good mouth feel. It hit the spot- definitely will be back!“

“真好吃!!! The best fresh chef-cooked Chinese in town!!!! My best is the quo ba lo!They do the lunch boxes for very friendly prices! Recommend! But the chef works alone, so please be patient with him and understand if he cannot accept walkins even if you want to dine in. :)“

“they’re one of the busiest chinese takeout places in ottawa for 30 years now. When you pick up your food there’s always 3-5 customers picking up orders within a 5 minutetime span. and it’s a small restaurant so i usually wait in my car for a few minutes before going in to pick up. the phone does not stop ringing at this place for nothing, very busy it’s just that special.“

“One of the best Asian foods Ive had since I moved to Canada. We ordered the takayoki, cheesy udon noodles in black pepper sauce and the wonton soup. We were in an absolute food coma after having this meal. Definitely a must try place with really amazing service given by Eric. Will come back to try more things.“

“Let me just say this, the Minda Cafe is one of the best restaurants/cafes I've ever been to. Run by the sweetest husband and wife and the best thing about the Minda Cafe is their food is made in house with fresh ingredients for very fair prices. My mother works across the street and introduced me to the Cafe and I was absolutely amazed by the taste of everything I tried. They just catered my daughter 5th birthday party and everyone at the party LOVED what they had prepared for us! Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for great freshly made food, with the most wonderful service! Thank you Minda Cafe!“
“Serving sizes were very generous. We’re very happy to accommodate delivery to our hotel and made sure to ask how many plates etc to include with our order.“

“My wife and I ate here with a couple of friends. We started with won ton soup, hot and sour soup as well as vegetable spring rolls. They ordered chicken satay, mixed vegetables, chicken fried rice and pineapple chicken. We ordered beef with ginger and onions, five spice prawns and pork fried rice. Everything was freshly made and delicious. They received all their dishes before us though so service was a bit out of sync. We had dinner on a pretty cold night and we had to ask our waiter to turn on the overhead heater as we were seated near the door and every time it opened, we got a blast of cold air. The seating area is small so it would be difficult to avoid this. Food was excellent, service was a bit slow and price was a bit high. Would recommend and would certainly return when it’s warmer.“

“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!“

“C'est la meilleur resto du type pour le goût ,la qualité et la fraîcheur de la nourriture. Le service est génial compte tenu qu'il s'agit du personnel immigrant pour le service alors même s'ils ne sourient pas beaucoup, ils sont très gentils, respectueux et serviables. L'ambiance serait le seul point faible a mon avis et c'est dû à la propriétaire qui est toujours de mauvaise humeur mais il faut savoir qu'elle est hyper occupée et a très eu de relève. Je suis de l'Abitibi et depuis je ne vais que là pour du chinois“

“Wonderful place! Dropped by this evening and got the pork buns, tea egg and a soda and it was pretty fair price on campus. The food is homemade and made with care and personally, for the quality and care, I think it is a very fair, and good price.The buns were nice and soft, had ample filling and we liked they added vinegar and chili oil which elevated the taste. The tea egg was good as well.Overall, highly recommend! The wait time for food was pretty quick and compared to other options on campus, I think this is clearly one of the best.“

“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.“

“We sampled Dumpling?Dumpling! for the first time tonight and were very pleased with our dinner. Along with appetisers such as hot and sour soup and wontons with peanut sauce, we enjoyed various pan fried and steamed pork dumplings. Among these were coriander and curry. Both were delicious.We'll definitely be back!Parking: It's a fairly busy spot at this CentrePointe location but there does seem to be adequate parking available.“

“This is a great restaurant, we were very happy with our order. The General Tao chicken was delicious and just the right amount of spice (ie: not very) and used the lean chicken breast so it was not as fatty as others I've had elsewhere. The shrimp low mein was tasty and delicious, noodles perfectly al-dente and generous on the shrimp. And the chicken fried rice was also a generous amount, and had bits of chicken breast in it. Not greasy at all, everything was tasty. We highly recommend it!“

Thank you to the friendly delivery server and good delivery timing.“

“This used to be our favorite Chinese restaurant in town. We even got a VIP membership and that's how much we love it. Our fav dish is braised beef noodles and we order it all the time. But unfortunately, I noticed that the taste started to go down hill starting from this year. Pretty disappointed with the noodles today as it has no flavor and it tastes like it has been watered down.“

“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.“

“When it comes to oriental barbecue this is a fine place. They got the ducks and the pork hanging fresh right in front of you. The portions are very generous the meat is tender and the sauce that they put on it keeps me coming back for more.“

“Had the 重庆豌杂面 ("Chongqing minced pork with peas" noodles). Quite delicious. Nice very slightly spicy broth with tahini+peanut making it nice and creamy. Chickpeas were nice and soft, and the minced pork had a nice slightly sweet bean paste taste (at least I think that's what the taste was). The cilantro was a nice touch. It could've been spicier but was delicious as is in any case.“

“I've been going there for 18 years and what has impressed me the most is their consistent excellence. I've never had a bad meal, and their service has always been attentive and helpful. While they were closed for dine in service, it's always an anticipated pleasure to order take out. And the portions set us up for several meals after. It's an easy sell for the kid too who has come to discover Chinese food that doesn't involve chicken balls.“

“My favourite local Chinese food place. Takeout/delivery only. Their open ended eggrolls are amazing. I usually get a combo plate and if indeed the veggies fresh and the rice delicious and the ribs meaty. I also really like their wonton soup. The combo plates are generous servings and they are fast and efficient. I often wish they were open later because I sonetunes crave their food after they're already closed.“

“We ordered from here last night, the service was super quick, the food was so hot is was steaming! For people who order take out, this never happens. The Singapore noodles were so good! I’m already excited to eat leftovers, because the portions are huge! I’ll be eating Singapore noodles for days! My spouse ordered plate number 3. She did find the chicken fried rice was really bad. It was mushy, no green onions. I got the wonton soup and the broth lacked depth. The wonton filling lacked seasoning. But honestly, I would order again. I probably wouldn’t get the fried rice or soup again, but I could eat those noodles everyday, and likely will be due to the huge portion and I’mnot mad about it.“
