“Our whole family gathered on Saturday, 25 strong to celebrate our parents lives. Thank you Millie for great service and a big thank you to the kitchen, Andy and staff , for a fantastic meal. Kids loved the saganaki and the adults all raved about the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich and of course the souvlaki. Been a regular here for a number of years and have enjoyed every meal. Thank you“

The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the service was quick. The place was super clean and tidy . Thank you Mansi for a wonderful experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“We had a great experience at Sole, it was my daughters 19th birthday and we drove in from out of town to celebrate with her. The manager and staff at Sole went out of their way to make the experience memorable for our daughter. We plan to dine there again on our next visit“

“Customer service here is excellent. the food is phenomenal. Well done boys.“

“Overall, the food was good, with plenty of options for dietary restrictions. Our waiter, who had the aura of someone who meditates before each shift, recommended the lamb to my partner. It was good, not great, nothing to write home about but yet here we are.
The atmosphere was lovely and vibrant. It was a bit noisy, but it was a Saturday night. The drinks were very expensive but delicious.“

“Last week I came to eat here. I visited this restaurant recently and had a very nice meal. The food was tasty and fresh. Everything was served at the right temperature. The portion sizes were good and satisfying. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming. The staff were polite and attentive. I felt comfortable the whole time I was there. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I would like to come back.“

“It is really good good with good quantity Very friendly staff and good at explaining their menu Must try“

“we visited Asakusa waterloo today for the very first time. Nice Ambience and nice staff too. ordered a lot of food. Defintely Good quality tasty food. The noodle soup bowl was very yummy. the matcha ice cream was tasty too. the fried spare ribs & chicken wings were with some smell ( may be seafood like) so next time we will stick to order only Noodle soup bowls. Today the restaurant air condition machine was broken , so the main door was kept open for ventilation purpose hence lots of flies were all around.“

“Great meal, great service! Thanks Avery for taking care of us!“

“I really love Milestone, and everything was almost perfect I'm giving 4 stars because the short rib which was the meal I was most exited about, was really disappointing and for the cost it's not worth it. However, the starter and the lobster risotto was amazing.“

“The food was very delicious and fresh. They have an amazing hummus and garlic sauce. We also love their wood fire manaeesh.“

“I decided to stop in today and grab lunch . I ordered the Kibbeh . Now I have eaten this dish all over the world and had Armenian and Egyptian friends make it for me , And today’s was by far the best I have ever had . I am fighting the urge to go back and order more .“

“Great service, pleasant staff, fun atmosphere and delicious food. What more do you want in a classic diner? Had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely return. Paige was our server she was so amazing, food was awesome!! 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍😋“

“Amazing staff and delicious lunch. Will definitely be back“

“I will start with the positives. I definitely recommend Ken Sushi, every experience has been great except this one! Today we were not happy with the service. Our waitress was very pushy and made us feel like we were eating at a fast food restaurant! We felt like we were being hurried to place our order and not given time to decide what we wanted to eat. We had to remind Sunny that we ordered tea, the first item delivered was the gioza and they had to be returned because they were over done. We had to remind her that we ordered Miso soup. The food was ok but the service made the food not enjoyable. We tried new dishes suggested by Sunny but if we took the time to order we would not have ordered the grilled octopus. Dining out is not just about the food but the entire experience and this one was bad!“

“Morty's has the best wings!“

“Always a pleasure to dine here. Staff is friendly and efficient and the food is awesome. Recommend to all my friends“

“Possibly the best chinese in town for my money. Excellent food, great prices, huge servings (even the lunch specials are easily two meals depending on how hungry you are) but above all excellent service and friendly staff. They go above and beyond, every time.“

“had lunch there today, 2 chicken shwarmas for 17.99. it was AWESOMELY DELICIOUS!!!!. fast, friendly and super nice employees. we highly recommend this place. great value 👍“

“Best shawarma in town, great freshly baked pita/bread. A regular spot for us.“

“Not your traditional Chinese bao's.

Had duck which was fantastic. 10/10

Beef bulogi was great. 9/10

Pull pork was ok. 7/10

Marinated pork belly was the most traditional of all. 9/10

Place is hard to find. It is at the back of the building. There are no parking but there is some visitor and street parking if you can snatch one.

Just wish it was easier to find for new customers. I had to circle around few times eventually resort to calling the restaurant. Staff was helpful on the phone in helping me identify the whereabouts of the restaurant.“

“great service . fast and good presentation of the food they make .“

“This spot was an absolute gem! A friend had recommended them, and I was a little concerned seeing the 3.9 star review, but I'm 100% glad we gave it a chance. I got the veggie bibimbap with an extra egg, and the dynamite roll, and both were delicious and fresh. Huge portions (both lasted me for 4 small meals). My friend got the black bean noodles and also enjoyed. I also got the Pork Bone Noodle Soup to take home to my boyfriend, and he also enjoyed it across 2 meals. Loved that they gave banchan with the takeout meal too. Service was fast and efficient. Definitely will be back!!“

“A great chinese restaurant. Amazing staff gave us some good suggestions.
I was suprised to see some dishes with indian twist like the bombay chicken and masala shrimp.
They had a wide variety of dishes.
One must try the crispy beef and kung pao shrimp.
The quantity of each dish was great couldn't finish the meal.
Overall the experience was great, the dishes tasted good.“

“Great burgers! Amazing flavors!“

“Had a drink and a poutine, for the price the poutine was substantially. This place is rather small but thats its strength. All though it doesn't have bathrooms directly attached, if you just go intot he antiques market the bathrooms are only 2 doors away through and inside access.“

“Good service and a delighted dining environment. All Japanese foods were freshy made and with Japanese styled; should enjoy a happy dining experience in here. 👌“

“My “go-to” lunch! The store is always clean and well-maintained, offering a wide variety of food options to choose from. The service is excellent, all personnel are consistently polite, warm, and attentive. They’re always ready to answer any questions about the food. Kudos to the whole team! 👍🏻“

“The service was excellent, they really took the time to educate us about their menu and ensured we enjoyed our order. After eating a burrito, my sister had the bowl version, we felt good about what we ate...no fast food consumption regret here :-)“

“stopped by Sunset Grill in Waterloo last weekend, and wow—what a great find! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, with friendly staff who made the experience even better.

The food? Absolutely delicious. They have a great variety of options, so whether you're in the mood for something hearty or a lighter, healthier bite, there’s something for everyone. I went with the pancakes and home fries, and they were cooked perfectly—golden, fluffy, and exactly what I needed to start my day.

What really stood out was the consistency—everything tasted fresh, and the service was fast without feeling rushed. It’s the kind of place where families, friends, and even solo diners can feel right at home.“

“Good coffee , good location“
