New takeout joint selling classic chinese takeout, Japanese food, and chinese dim sum…read more I tried the general TSO chicken, chili chicken, lo mein noodles, sesame chicken, garlic beef. Spice level is adjustable upon request. Ate it all fresh at the 1 table they had inside. Chili chicken was the favourite!! Included stir fried bell peppers and dried chili. Not too spicy here, it's safe to order 1 or 2 levels higher for your heat preference. The general TSO and sesame chicken had the same crispy chicken base, but different sauce with the sesame being more sweet and general TSO spicy. I liked the general TSO more... this was my 2nd favourite item as the chicken was sooo crispy and addictive! Both dishes also came with Broccoli. The sesame chicken was ordered as a bento which comes with a drink or side of soup. We got tempura with it which was made fresh to order and cripsy. The veggie were fresh and had bite to them. The prices here are also very cheap for the quality. I would say the quality is better than average, the food is clearly fresh, and the staff are friendly. Currently, they are in soft opening and have some promotions.

I had a craving for Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls and chose Lee's Kitchen because it was close by and…read morehad decent reviews. Unfortunately, the entire order was disappointing. Egg Rolls: The filling was mostly cabbage and bean sprouts. I prefer egg rolls made with bean sprouts only, because cabbage turns mushy and watery and doesn't resemble a true egg roll. This version definitely missed the mark. Hot & Sour Soup: The soup was neither hot nor sour -- no heat, no tang, just bland. Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls: The batter was hard, and the chicken inside was rubbery and chewy. Exactly the opposite of what Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls should be. Overall, a very underwhelming meal. I won't be ordering from here again.

Was passing through Barrie and was craving pho. To our surprise they had yummy pho and sushi!…read morePrices are very reasonable. Here's what we ordered: S92. Sashimi Combo A (12pcs) $15.9 - 7/10 S78. Philadelphia Roll $6.45 - 7/10 104.Rare Beef and Tendon $13.45 - 6/10 81.House Special Cantonese Noodle $17.45 - 7.5/10 Sashimi was yummy, but fairly small pieces. The Philadelphia roll hit the spot. The rare beef and tendon pho was pretty standard, nothing special, I would've liked it more if the broth was more flavorful and if there were more tendon pieces. The house special Cantonese noodle was actually my favorite. Deliciously prepared, crunchy how I like it, and just enough toppings of meat, shrimp, veggies to complement the sauce. Just wish they had Vietnamese iced coffee... Our servers were fantastic - super swift and accommodating. They brought us plenty of napkins and extra bowls and plates without us even having to ask. They also offered us a sesame red bean dessert at the end on the house :') thank you!! We'll be back again next time we're in the area. Plenty of seating inside. Free parking outside. Two accessibility washrooms. 20250830

We asked for a table out of the sun and were told that we had to sit at a sunny 2 seat table or go inside because the other tables were for 3 or more people. They weren't reserved, just we were only 2 people. So they lost our business rather than let us sit at one of the 6 bigger empty tables. it was really too bad because we have always loved the food at Low Down but now they lost us as customers.

That said, I'm a fan of how much sauce they include. The take out was a bit disappointing. Portion seems a bit inconsistent. We ordered in and the portion was quite a bit smaller. For the price point, I just don't know that it's worth while. It's a nice treat to have. I don't think I would enjoy it on a regular basis.

There's lots of variety of poutine to choose from; something for everyone. I haven't tried their dim sum yet but they have an extensive menu and I definitely want to.

We searched a place called Charidise which is located close to hwy 400 so we decided to give it a try. This place did not disappoint us. Environment: (5/5) This place is definitely a hidden gem in the Barrie area! It's a good spot for hanging out and catching up with friends or even a good place for study. They are really well used of the space (ie: many big tables with glass walls, couches, and even pool tables! ) The environment is sparkling clean with nice decor. Personally I really like the open spaces. Drink: (5/5) We ordered their special drink white peach oolong tea for $3.99 and I think their bubble tea is on the same level compared to those big bubble chains in GTA area. The overall pricing is reasonable considering the quality. Food: (4.5/5) We ordered a fried chicken with pasta ($12.99), a poutine with cheese ($5.99), and a grass jelly pudding ($6.xx). The food was tasty and the portion of the pasta was big. Service: (5/5) For ordering, you can either order at the touch-screen station or at the cashier, the self ordering is quite self-explanatory and convenient and you can customize your food. They will give you a buzzer after ordering. The staff was nice enough to bring our food to our table. Overall (5/5) I would definitely come back to give another dish a try and recommend this place to my friends in The area. The place has lots of potential and deserves more attention as we were the only customers on a Saturday night.

The shrimps in the Sapporo Miso Ramen were cooked perfectly but the pork in the Chirashu Ramen was a bit chewy. The soy sauce served with the Agedashi Tofu had a hint of sweetness which was quite refreshing to the palate.
