“Parking is available upon front but very tight parking spots.

Restaurant is huge with an vip room for private dining.

Portions are huge. Flavors are intense.

Seafood dry crisp rice 10/10
So good and the crispy rice was done to perfection.

Pork hock rice 9/10
Flavor is good but the pork hock was a bit on dry side.

Dry spicy wok 10/10
Everything mix and gel together. Flavor was phenomenal.

Beef brisket with tomatoes 9/10
You can taste the tomatoes but the Beef brisket could be cooked longer as it was still hard to chew.

Sour potatoe shreds 7/10
Not sour enough.

Spicy cabbage 8/10
Pretty good.

Service was good and staff is friendly.“

“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.“
