When I first walked in I wasn't sure what I would be interested in most. I saw that they had a jerk chicken soup, which I've never heard of before. They let me sample the soup and I immediately ordered it. It was flavorful, a good consistency and there was a lot of provisions in the soup itself. I definitely want to go back and try a couple more of their soups.

This place is particularly awesome because it exists in Durham region where there is such limited offering of good Vietnamese restaurants.

We just tried Mom's Kitchen Korean Cuisine in Oshawa, the food is excellent! We ordered a number of…read moredishes to try including dumplings, Korean fried chicken, beef short ribs, black bean sauce noodles, stir fried spicy chicken on rice and a bottle of the Korean Soju (Strawberry). Food was hot and fresh, big portions, great quality and very friendly customer service. One thing to note, if you're looking for the BanBan style Korean fried chicken, this really is not it. The chicken they have is still very good, but it is not sauce coated (they provide dips instead) and the dip flavors are limited. But other than that, fantastic place to go for Korean food. Nice atmosphere, easy parking, right next to Costco if you want to do some shopping afterward.

I was out in Oshawa recently and met up with a friend for lunch. I had spotted Mom's Kitchen nearby…read moreso we decided to give it a try. We had their Pork Bone Soup, Korean Fried Chicken, and Fried Tofu. Some of the usual side dishes were included - kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled radish, glass noodles, and a bowl of purple rice. The pork bone soup was pretty good, with lots of meaty pieces and a rich broth. The tofu was flavourful but a bit spicy for my friend. The chicken was very tasty, especially with the honey garlic dipping sauce included. Overall, we enjoyed the food and found it all very reasonably priced, with good portions, especially the chicken. Our server was very polite and friendly. This was a good meal!

My friend had the King of Kings as our server said this is one of their most popular choices. I opted for the Spicy Charsu. Now I understand some people can't handle heat but I live off of Purple Tongue hot sauce which is made with some pretty hot peppers. I asked for a level one and the lady explained that the spice level on the Charsu was a whole series of levels higher than the King of Kings. I get that . Give me the heat. Anywho, she was comfortable with giving me 0.5 but said I could make it hotter if need be. Ok, better to start smaller I guess. They put some sauce on the side which I added to my bowl. Personally I found the 0.5 a nice tingle; it was good. Made my nose run. But I'm totally getting the level 1 next time. My friend however tried a sip of my broth, spit it out and said poison poison because of the heat Mind you, his King of Kings was a level 1. Which to me tasted creamy and delicious. I love a good pork bone soup and I opted for the Spicy Charsu because of the pork bone base. I loved the broth. It was perfection. The noodles were so fresh . The portion size was enormous. I kept eating and more noodles appeared. The Charsu had an amazing flavor to it . Smoky and delicious . My friend is a larger man and even he commented on the portion size saying he would be ok with a smaller size as he was so full. Good portions for your money. We also had the Gyoza and the TakoYaki. The TakoYaki was soft and loaded with the delicious sauce. The Gyoza were enormous. We were both 100% satisfied with our visit and will be back for sure.

The concerned server told me that it may be painful, but being the chili head that I am, I gladly took on the challenge. It was a larger bowl than their regular size and my ramen came topped with lots of corn, some mushrooms, bean sprouts and 6 large pieces of chasu. The broth was magma red, but it was not as spicy as I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong, it was spicy but not to the point where it would warrant a warning. The spicy broth tasted like a mix of Buldak sauce and Capsaicin, but didn't have much depth. I finished my ramen, broth and all and enjoyed most of the experience. The least favorite was the chasu and the egg as chasu did not taste fresh, and I could not taste the char on them at all. The egg was over-cooked and under marinated which was disappointing. It's still one of the few ramen options in Durham but can't say it's comparable to the other Kenzo locations.

When we want Pho, often times we need very private, casual, therapeutic and homely comfort. We don't want to drive far as well. Hidden gem like Pho Sam is harder to find when Pho is becoming a boom, as restaurants can easily lose sight of the needs of individuals like us. This place is bright and clean and simple without over-essentializing decorations. Genuine. Refreshing as well. What makes here more special is their Bun rieu. Finding Vietnamese restaurants that serve this is difficult even in other parts of GTA - but Pho Sam has it here. Blessing. This place recharges my energy - feeling relaxed just like I am home. The owner and servers are friendly, attentive but not intrusive. Therapeutic. See you soon, THE Bun Rieu :)

We tried the following Dishes: Bombay Chicken, Hot Sour Soup, Zen Special Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice with Chicken on Top, Manchurian Fish, Hot Garlic Shrimp, Papaya Salad, Thai Green Curry Chicken, Steamed Chicken Momo, Crispy Ginger Beef I normally wouldn't choose to order soup, as I like to fill up on the heartier dishes but I was absolutely blown away by their Hot and Sour Soup. It's not overly sour and to me it was the perfect flavor profile. It was thick and loaded with tofu and chicken. The Bombay Chicken and Zen Special Chicken were both flavorful and unique chicken dishes. The crispy ginger beef was cooked to perfection; i'd definitely order it again. If you're looking for something tasty to drink their mango Lassi is superb. It's sweet and creamy. I loved it! The Thai Milk Tea was also a knock out. It was sooo good!!!
