1st visit was last Fall, also a 3 star experience. Tried it…read moreagain today, 3 stars it is. I love supporting businesses like this little food truck in Stittsville. I like the location. (Tucked in on same lot as the Re Read Used book store) Food can be ready in 10 min. I called ahead this time. I ordered a drunken chicken dish that someone had posted was good. I had just worked out so the veg and protein was welcomed. Took it straight home. No sauce. Hmmm. Made the dish very dryish/bland and was something I could have made quickly at home. No Thai zing. A wedge of dry lime. No nuts. Not spicy as requested. It was ok... I ate it all and usually I save half so the portions may disappoint you. The veg and chicken were fine. Noodles, pre cooked/ very overcooked. I would not get this dish again but I'd like to return and try something else another day. $12.50 plus I left a tip. Price = reasonable. I wish they had remembered to pack some sauce though.

This place is Thailicious! A neat permanent food truck spot that offers authentic Thai cuisine. The…read moreowners have taken advantage of an open lot to build up a nice patio for their takeout food. A great spot if you just want to take out or eat outside on a nice sunny day! Tow Hod Tod: The tofu was crispy and sauce served separately. The sauce is an amazing concoction of Thai chilis, peanuts, fish sauce, sugar and more. Serving the tofu separately was key to keep it crispy until you drench it in the homemade sauce. Make sure you pour all the sauce on-top of the tofu, really gives the tofu the right flavour. Pad See Ew with shrimp: Probably the most flavour I've had in a Pad See Ew. Amazing flavour, all the veggies, eggs and rice noodles took in the flavours very well. Was pleasantly surprised with this dish, would recommend! One note, the Pad Thai was a bit too sweet for my liking, would steer people away from that one.

Stopped in here with the family for dinner this evening and it did not disappoint. Nice cozy little…read morerestaurant with great prices and food. Started with the fried pork dumplings and spring rolls. Both were cooked to perfection and quite flavorful. My wife and daughter both had different flavored Korean fried chicken plate and loved it. I snuck a piece or two two and loved it as well. Had a nice moist dark meat with crunchy breading. Mmmm. I had the beef Bulkogi and it did not disappoint either. The beef was super tender with onions and mushrooms. The rice had a super nice crunch from the hot plate it was on. All the food was fantastic, reasonably priced. And cooked to perfection. Shoutout on the water and lemon and great service.

I lived dangerously today and decided to step outside the box…read more I tried Maht Korean for lunch, and I was genuinely amazed by the great taste and texture of the meal. I ordered the Beef Bibimbap, which came with three small side dishes: a sweet‑potato‑style dish, traditional kimchi, and bean sprouts. I enjoyed every bit of it! What I loved most was the Bibimbap itself, served in a very hot stone bowl that gave the rice a nice crispiness. The mix of hot and cold ingredients, along with the texture of the sunny‑side‑up egg, made it exceptional. I definitely trying this place, it's around $20 per person. If you choose to dine in, they do have tables. The décor could use a bit of an update, but honestly, who cares when the food is that good? Service was fast for lunch, and the staff were very kind and pleasant. I even got to see the cook doing what looked like a bit of martial arts while cooking. Not sure I was supposed to see that, but it brightened the moment!

I've been here twice so far. I've always had a good experience. This hot pot isn't all you can eat…read more You need to order each dish separately plus pay for access to the sauce station. The broth is flavorful, the meat is high quality and with large portions. I don't like having to pay for the sauce station but overall this is my favorite hot pot in Ottawa presently. We got a two sided soup, 2 plates of meat, bamboo, tofu, lotus root, cabbage, mushrooms and access to the sauce and the price came to about $100 before tax and tip.

Thoroughly enjoyed the comfortable seating, the restaurant is on the smaller end but it's kept…read moreclean & tidy. Food quality overall is good. It ends up being more expensive than other AYCE locations when you tally up the dishes, but you do have the option to choose "half portions" (menu pricing is for full portion). Eating what we normally would at Happy Lamb, our bill came to about $187 with tip for 2 people. Note: $20 VIP card for VIP pricing does not apply to half portions, only full.

TL;DR/The Short Version: Awesome Filipino BBQ at the…read moreParkdale Farmers' Market. The Long Version: My husband and I love Farmers' Markets and since the Parkdale Farmers' Market is within walking distance for us, we go often. This year (2025) we noticed a new vendor: Tito Leo's BBQ. So we had to check it out. We got a small chicken BBQ platter with half rice and half fries ($10 taxes included). The rice is Java rice, which is rice cooked in chicken broth and turmeric. It was good and more exciting than just plain white rice. The fries were shoestring fries, my favourite cut. The chicken was chopped up BBQ chicken layered on top of the rice and fries. A tangy BBQ sauce was poured over everything. The chicken was tender and moist. I would have preferred less BBQ sauce because the dish was a little too saucy for my liking, but overall I still really enjoyed it. My husband liked it too. Service was courteous and efficient. They have a few private tables in front of their kiosk, but there's the main seating for the market too if those tables are occupied. There's also picnic tables at Parkdale Park right next to the market. We were lucky to score one of the private tables. There are a few parking spots at The Parkdale Farmers' Market. Otherwise, there's street parking, both paid and free spots in the area. Review #123 (2025)

The food had to travel two hours back to our vacation spot, but it tasted good after we heated it up. I'd eat there if ever in Ottawa again.

Once seated, we ordered appetizers (fried dumplings & pad tofu) and our main course. The waiter was really good, because he waited 15 minutes after entering our appetizer before he entered our dinner. For my dinner, I ordered Pad Kee Maow (mild) with shrimp and chicken with a glass of wine. DISCLAIMER: If you're not a fan of spicy food, order MILD. MEDIUM is STILL really SPICY! The decor is really nice and I'm here for 3 more weeks and I'm definitely going back, if time permits!

Mehhhhh LOL. Service is really friendly and great but the food is just alright…read more Food: - Deep fried spring rolls: Not the typical viet spring rolls i'm used to. There's only pork and shrimp in here basically... none of that taro, vermicelli filling. Didn't really like this. - Banh canh: literally udon noodles but they were so spicy!! Fish cakes were good and fresh. - Pho: alright It's pretty small inside so the place filled up super quick during dinner time. Again, service here is really good. The sole server was very kind and checked up on us throughout the meal.

I am updating my review and adding an additional star. Service is much friendlier now. Not sure if…read moreit's because I'm a regular now or if they were just having bad days on my previous visits. They still have the buy 5 get 1 free banh mi. Banh mi are $5 each now, but still delicious. Although the bread varies from visit to visit. Sometimes it's crispy baguette bread and sometimes it's softer bread more like submarine sandwich bread. The Vietnamese desserts are good. I haven't received any spoiled desserts again after that one isolated incident I previously wrote about. They have Che Ba Mau (tri-colour dessert) for $4 and Che Dau Trang (white bean dessert) for $3. They also have Che Sam Bo Luong (longan, lotus seeds and seaweed dessert), which I've never purchased. I've had this dessert before elsewhere and wasn't a huge fan, which is why I've never had it at Co Cham. I think it's more of an acquired taste, and definitely more exotic than the other 2 desserts, lol. I still haven't dined in at this restaurant yet and have only gotten banh mi and desserts for takeout. With frou-frou eateries selling banh mi for $15+ each (admittedly, I have never had these overpriced banh mi), I'm very happy that Co Cham still sells them for an affordable price. Street parking only.

Nice sizes of pho with good quality meats,…read moreusually i feel disappointed by how chewy or stale some pho meat is, but it was not a problem here Average sized bowls, not enormous but the small is enough for an average person. The banh mi has a generous portion of meat, but the flavour is non traditional.

I dropped by Crazy Pho You for a late lunch and it was great. Admittedly, I was drawn to the…read morerestaurant because of its cool punny name - yes I love puns, lol, but the food turned out to be delicious too. I got the beef and spring rolls vermicelli ($12.95) with no bean sprouts and no fish sauce. They were kind enough to offer me an alternative sauce "brown sauce" or "peanut sauce." I went with the latter and it was a little too strong in hoisin flavour for me, but I found it good in small amounts. Honestly, the beef was so well marinated and flavoured that I didn't even really need any sauce. The portion size was great. I was stuffed silly after finishing the bowl. If I wasn't such a glutton, it could have eaten half and easily saved the rest for dinner. The beef was sliced really thin, but I got a good amount. It was lean with no fatty nor gristely bits, yet it wasn't tough nor chewy, so I was a very happy camper. I loved the marinade, it was a bit sweet and very umami. Lots of flavour. The pork spring rolls were hot and crispy. They were filled with pork, vegetables and vermicelli. They were good, despite being made with the wheat wrapper and not the more traditional rice paper wrapper that we all know I love oh so much ;) The vermicelli was hot and the perfect consistency. The vegetables were shredded lettuce, carrots and cucumbers. I think the carrots were pickled. They also sprinkled on a lot of crushed peanuts and some fried scallions, so yummy, I love fried scallions. I arrived at about 2:45pm on a weekday. The guy who served me was really nice. I think he ended his shift at 3pm though, because shortly after dropping off my food, he put on his coat and headed out the door. I didn't even realize this until as he was leaving he yelled out to me "thanks, have a great day!" He surprised me, and my mouth was full but I managed to squeeze out a "thanks!" I wish he had told me he was leaving because I would have gladly settled the bill so he would get his tip. I'm hoping he got his tip regardless. After he left, I was kind of left to my own devices as despite having people who appeared to work there enter and exit, no one seemed to take on the role of server. I didn't mind this too much because once I get my food, as long as it's my correct order, I am a very low maintenance customer. Towards the end of my meal, a man who turned out to be either the owner or the owner's son appeared behind the counter, so I asked him for some more water. We chatted a bit and he told me that the restaurant has been around for 3 years. When it first opened it was "a partnership" but for the last year or so it's been "just him and his family." So it's definitely a family run business. I told him I really enjoyed my meal, and he thanked me for supporting their business. I would definitely come back. I'd like to try out their other dishes. Parking is a bit of a pain in this area, as it's street parking only, and there are a lot of restrictions, but if you don't mind walking a bit, you can find parking a little further out.
