Chinese it is!…read more We've ordered take out twice now from House of Buddha and gone to dine in once and we've only lived in Georgetown for three weeks. Food is unreal here, the pan fried dumplings are out of this world delicious... we'll straight up be swayed to order Chinese just because of the dumplings. The dining experience carries the same quality - it's a nice restaurant with East Asian design elements incorporated with a westernized twist. Massive round tables encourage the sharing component that's often found in Asian cuisine. Portions are HUGE so keep this in mind, my partner and I have inadvertently ordered enough food to feed a small army. Only downside is the parking situation is a bit of a bummer given you're dependent on street parking lest you walk a few minutes from one of the few parking lots in downtown Georgetown.

It's been quite a while since I have had dinner at the house of Buddha. Once Georgetown Thai and…read moreYoYos moved into town birthdays and other family events seemed to head toward those restaurants. I really missed this place. Recently they went through a re-opening. The food is just as amazing as I remember. They have the best wonton soup that I've ever had. And the rest of the dishes taste excellent as well. The new layout of the restaurant appears to be much simpler and brighter than the previous decor and the fish are gone sadly. There is a smell that hits you once you walk in. Until the smell is fixed I recommend getting takeout or delivery.

The quantity a bit less than we anticipated but tasted good. 97 Menu item - Mixed Veggies with Hot Sauce - also made sure no fish sauce or broth is used. The stir fry had chilli flakes rather than hot sauce. Decent taste and quantity. The veggies fresh which was saving grace. 94 Menu Item - Cantonese Chow Mein more like Shanghai Noodles as the Cantonese are made with eggs. Made sure everything was good before ordering. The quantity again a miss, but taste good. The person taking the order spoke fluent English and understood our needs which was a big plus. The inside no longer sit in as it is filled with boxes. There are no tables and this is now takeout only as at November 22

Lily Thai is located in the heart of downtown Georgetown, which in itself is a vibrant atmosphere…read moreof historical buildings and the very core of the town's establishment. Lily Thai is a well-presentable, great location. Though parking is limited at the back, you can find parking down the street and enjoy your walk past some cool looking homes. The patio would be the best option at Lily Thai, it really is a nice atmosphere. But that's only the beginning. Literally everyone working there is friendly and accommodating. The staff cater to your needs every few minutes and make sure everything is tip-top. I almost always get the red beef curry and coconut rice. It's flavourful, explosive with seasoning, and far from dry. I am not one to tread lightly on curry, this one really stands out in comparison to the numerous restaurants I have had curry from. The appetizers are also a fantastic Segway to your main course, the fried shrimp is amazing, I forget the name of another dish but it's like just the fried part of the shrimp almost like chips? It's also flavourful. The pricing is also considerable and you can take your family out with confidence knowing they will get a good portion and quality food. 9.5/10

Feeling under the weather and after a long day decided just to have soup for supper. Many of our…read morefavourites were closed for New Year's Day and as this was opened and bookmarked we ordered a large Vegetarian (Vegan) Hot N sour Soup. The stock is plant based. Ordered over the phone and they mentioned it would be 30 minutes. After 30 minutes reached there and still not ready and 10 additional minutes. The inside there are 4 tables but none of them are ready for dine in and all the orders were takeaway. Too many boxes stored everywhere including near the tables. The soup quantity is the same as all other restaurants and slightly more expensive when compared. The soup was very very salty! I had a small bowl and hardly finish it. Mrs had to fix it by adding a bowl of water and some slurry. That made it palatable. The place does hold some potential. Will try one more time with some dishes perhaps.

Just when…read moreyou thought all wonton soups are the same, I just tried their small takeout portion and OMG this is the best wonton soup and there's no close second! I've never seen wontons so huge with so much meat in them! Even cutting the wonton in half I couldn't fit the half in my mouth! And the best part is that in addition to the pork wonton there were also chunks of sliced pork mixed in with the broth! The ratio of wonton and pork to soup base was easily 90% meat and 10% soup! Look at the photos I just added and see for yourself! ----------- Original review: We decided to come this restaurant for my birthday this past Monday on a recommendation from my neighbor. WOW we made a great choice! Not sure what some of the negative reviewers were expecting, but our entire experience was perfection! Dine-in: Yes we knew ahead of time this restaurant was mostly take-out, but they still have dine-in, and sure it's not a 5-star seating experience, but if that's what you want, then go pay 100x more an an upscale restaurant. Growing up in NYC, the dine-in experience here reminded me of almost every Chinese restaurant on Canal Street (Chinatown in lower Manhattan) - very authentic, where the focus is on the food and service, not the seating and decor, so we all actually enjoyed the atmosphere. Food: There were 4 of us (all very big eaters and starving) so we ordered the "Dinner for Four Q" special: 4 egg rolls, chicken fried rice, chicken Chow Mein, beef with broccoli, sweet & sour chicken balls and breaded jumbo shrimp PLUS the lemon chicken (highly recommended by my neighbor). WOW was the food outstanding! HUGE portions (we were using the other tables to place the food trays) and all very tasty and authentic! The chicken balls were 90-95% mostly tender juicy meat (not mostly breading like other places), and the lemon chicken was the best I've ever had (trust me, I've tried hundreds from other restaurants) and they did not hold back on the sauce - half the container box filled with it, of which was spectacular, not tasteless and overly tangy like other sauces)! We were all stuffed and every single dish we ordered was still at least half full! Today is Friday and I'm still enjoying left-overs! (since it was my b-day I took most of the leftovers ) Service: All the food came piping hot and fresh very fast! Ruby was a ray of sunshine full of joy, constantly smiling, making sure we had everything we needed, and even cracking a few jokes during our festivities. She even re-packaged all the leftovers in bags without us even having to ask! For our first time dining at this restaurant all of us meeting up coming from Toronto, London and Guelph for my birthday, we are so glad we chose this restaurant, and will all be making the trek back (individually and collectively) to this restaurant, as everything was PERFECTION! Thank you Ruby for the excellent food and service, and the fun and amazing experience - we will see you again soon!
