“Great food and outstanding hospitality!

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, made the six of us (one toddler, one 6 weeks old baby, 2 adults, 2 seniors) feel welcome and taken care of, and we were able to enjoy our food which can be quite challenging sometime to dine out with young children. Will definitely be back again!“

“A great mix of traditional and North America style food. A huge assortment of dim sum on a separate menu, some are not for the faint if heart, but overall great for most. The noodle dishes were fantastic, loved the smokey flavour of the Ho Fun. Be earned, lots of oil is used in a lot of the dishes and for some of us this could cause some unwanted digestion issues. Service was fast and friendly and we even got an explanation on some of the dishes that were new to us. Lots of free parking around the corner so even though it's in a very busy area, finding a place to park is not an issue. Restaurant seemed generally clean. It was odd to find it so quiet with most tables empty but most likely it was our timing. Over all a good experience, with the food being delicious, even though it left us with some minor digestive issues but nothing of concern.“

“When you visit your college town, a visit to the University Plaza is a must. Hoping to try a new spot in Waterloo’s university plaza, we came across Xiang Hotpot (160 University Avenue West, Waterloo, ON). A hotpot joint warmly decorated with elegant panels, this place transfers you to a high dining experience while still retaining its affordability for the nearby student population.

When I went there, my friend and I ordered the mapo tofu with a side of rice. The tofu was perfectly tender, soaking up the rich, spicy sauce. The heat from the peppers gave it just the right kick, but the fluffy rice helped balance it out, soaking up all the delicious flavors. Each bite was a perfect blend of spice, savory depth, and comfort. We couldn’t stop talking about how satisfying the meal was!

What really stood out was the atmosphere - despite being a cozy spot for students, it felt like a place where you could enjoy a sophisticated meal. To hear more about this review, follow us @eatinontario on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, & LinkedIn✨🤩🙏“

“A wholesome family run, stereotypical hole-in-the wall place (Idk even if I should call it a restaurant) and there’s no english to read but the food is good I got the fried chicken and rice was juicy and crispy, funny I couldnt even order because they don’t speak Engish so I just pointed at the menu. If you like Chinese food for takeout and open minded just send it.“

“Tried the beef brisket & handmade noodles dish and was very happy with the selection. I didn't choose the spice level but was very pleased with the flavour. Beef was tender and the noodles were so delicious. It's like a Hungarian goulash with spaetzle but with Asian rather than paprika spices. I look forward to trying the chicken version next time. Staff were efficient and very pleasant. Great place.“

They offer a free refill of juice and the service was amazing. The guy working here also came immideatly to give his personal recommendations. If you're done your rice they also offer free extra rice and the portions are already pretty good.“
