This place is great if you want good Oeik8ng Duck without having to pay $100 for it. As such, for $20, you get enough for one person, which is great for a fast meal downtown. We went there for a late-night snack Fri around 21:00; they close at 22:00. We ordered the following: 1. Quarter Roast Duck & Samyang Spicy Noodles Combo ($19.99). 2. Popcorn Duck ($8.99). The Quarter Roast Duck is like having 25% of a Peking Duck; their whole Peking Duck costs $68.88. It comes with 9 wraps (they call them duck pancake) (as per Peking Duck dinners), toppings (cucumber, scallions, hawthorn fruit slices), and duck sauce. The duck sauce is made in-house. They actually sell each of the accompanying items separately if you want more! The combo is considered a value meal, which comes with Samyang Spicy Noodles and a drink/pop. The duck pieces were juicy and tasted good. The duck skins were thin, crispy, and not lined with fat. We asked for the noodles (South Korean instant ramen noodles) to be as mild as possible but the spice was already in the noodles so it came out medium spicy. I don't dare try their regular spice level! The Popcorn Duck is an interesting take on Popcorn Chicken. It was quite good. It comes with a dipping sauce. The customer service was good. The chef has been making Peking Duck for at least 15 years. Interestingly, they can 3D-print a sugar candy figure. You choose a figure from a menu (sorry, I forgot to take a photo of that menu). We chose a dragon. It was printed from sugar candy onto a stick, and takes about 1 min to complete! They are so cute! Note: You get 10% off if you pay by cash. All their dishes can be easily covered for takeout or left overs. We had some of the Popcorn Duck and Samyang Spicy Noodles so they simply put a lid on it. The lid has a hole to let any steam out. The hole happens to be the right size to hold the stick with the 3D printed figure, if you so wish. Ingenious setup to use specialize lids to save time! There is one item called The Box ($228), which is a BOGO Peking Duck. You get a whole Peking Duck and with Duck Sushi in an Oriental box that opens with drawers! Very ornate. When you eat in, they give you another whole Peking Duck ($68.88) along with The Box. You you order for takeout, you actually get to bring the box with you (on loan). When you bring back the box, you get the whole Peking Duck; if you don't bring back the box, you forfeit the whole Peking Duck ($68.88). Such a unique concept! They gave us each a water cup with a lid and reusable straw. They are giving these out to some guests during their soft-opening period. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-144

Here, they have the option of quarter duck, half duck or whole duck. All comes with a generous amount of wraps and garnishes. The spicy noodles were unnecessary but came with the combo. Duck wrap had minimal duck. You can add $2 to get the duck frame which is mainly bones from after they cut off all the meat. They fry it with their special spices making it great to pair with a beer.

This place is more of a takeout kind of spot - but there are 1-2 small tables available for anyone waiting or wanting to dine in.

Food This spot does a lot of classic HK dishes - whether it's snacks or main that's perfect on the go. They recently have a collab with @siupaidon to bring more bold, nostalgic flavours. What I recommend: - Fish Fillet in Rose Sauce - Curry Fish Balls & Berkshire Pork Skin - Mala Spicy Chicken Rice They're all made on the spot and it really has a lot of strong and good flavour. Curry fish balls is my all time favourite, so I'm glad I have another new spot to get it whenever I'm craving it.

It was 6:30 on a Sunday, and we were the only customers in the restaurant. We ordered what other customers had recommended on social media: the Signature Grilled Chicken ($28.99), which was just average grilled chicken--not even as flavorful as Costco's rotisserie chicken--and the Pineapple Fried Rice with Chicken and Shrimp ($24.99), which had a mild taste and quite a few ingredients that we liked, however, neither dish had much of the distinctive Thai flavor we were expecting. Both were very bland. The service was okay. Although there were no other customers in the restaurant, we had to wait for quite a few minutes at the door before someone seated us. I guess they're not used to customers coming in at that time, as nobody was watching the door. The décor is quite elegant, and the small fountain by the entrance is special and soothing. But overall, the food was really mediocre and overpriced. No wonder we were the only customers.

The Burmese beef curry was actually great, perfect portion and amount of beef for $15. I asked for it to be really spicy and it was, which was very nice. My husband chose this and really enjoyed it I ordered the pho and added shrimp for a total of $15. They gave me a quart of broth, which was very nice and flavorful...and five small shrimp. They included plenty of rice noodles. The toppings could've been more generous. I only got one sprig of mint and I could barely find the green onions or cilantro, literally. Plenty of bean sprouts, tho. The included hot sauce is delicious. The vegetable spring rolls were ok..I wish they had more veggie filling, they were pretty empty. At $6 for three, I don't think they're worth $2 each. All in all, it was a pretty good experience. We'll probably try more of the menu at some point.

When we first walked by, we were unsure whether they were open since they were doing some renovations with the ceiling. Luckily they were fully open and ready to serve some tasty vegan Viet dishes.

I loved the tanginess and assortment of flavors all in one hearty bowl of noodles with plenty of mock meats. Being in Canada, we also ordered their poutine with mock meat and gravy. These were okay and I probably shouldn't have expected greatness at a Viet spot, but still fun to try on the side. Besides the construction happening, service here was really nice and we enjoyed our lunch visit for sure.

We recently reminisced about going to Bao Sandwich Bar for lunch between interviews at the University of Waterloo. I had mentioned to him that it had a second location in Mississauga, roughly a fifteen-minute drive from our workplace. He said that when we were both in the office, he'd only want to go there for lunch with me. It's nice that he trusts my judgment when it comes to eateries. I also believe that he likes my company. A couple of Wednesdays ago, he asked what I was doing for lunch. I normally hit Treats nearby. He wasn't feeling it. I said that we could go here and provided some details, including its online menu and such. I also asked him if he had any meetings. I'm that type of a planner, down to the departure time. He was game. I said that we should leave at 11:15 am. The place opens at 11:30 am. He had a meeting at 1 pm. I wanted a leisurely, unrushed lunch. Done! I drove us over there. With my lead foot, it was more like thirteen minutes, without hitting any highway. Like the Bao place in Waterloo, this one is also located on a lower level of a plaza, with a tall building at the top of this hill. I parked in front of the eatery. We walked in. We were the first customers. It looks like the place kept some of the seating from the previous business that occupied the place. The upholstery looked shabby. Otherwise, the rest of the eatery was spruced up. I got a combo consisting of these items: - Crackle belly bao - Korean garlic chicken bao - Purple flower lemonade - Dynasty duck poutine My manager got the following items: - Dynasty duck bao - Thai yum pork bao - House salad - Thai tea I took a star away because I wasn't expecting my order to be $40! It was okay for the large portion of dynastic duck poutine that I got. It was rather steep. You won't see me eating here every day. I split the poutine with my manager, so it was okay. I paid with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. It didn't take long for our food to be ready. The woman who had taken our orders was nice to bring the food to our table. I have always loved the crackle belly bao. It was equally as delicious here as it was in Waterloo. The pork belly was tasty and perfectly seasoned. The bao was nice and malleable. The veggies provided a nice contrast. I loved it. I tried the Korean garlic chicken bao. It was heavenly. The sauce was spicy and garlicky. The chicken had a crispy exterior and was juicy inside. It's nice having another decent bao to call my favourite. The purple flower lemonade was delicious. I normally don't like sweet lemonade. This version had a touch of sweetness that I enjoyed. This drink's colour was also pretty to look at. My manager enjoyed his food. He oddly doesn't like green vegetables, so I saw him pick out the cilantro and green onions. He felt that the sauces were mixed up. His Thai yum pork bao wasn't spicy. The dynasty duck that he has had in the past was oddly spicy. We had a baseline of the dynasty duck poutine that wasn't spicy to compare. Even with the sauce mix-up, he still enjoyed everything. His side salad had a bit of a spice kick, so he was happy. I loved eating here. It was a nice, casual lunch with yummy food. I wish that it were cheaper. However, the quality was excellent that I'm okay shelling out for it as someone who likely won't be dropping by weekly. (67)
