Let's start with the good. Huuuuge Boa's! Easily the biggest I've ever seen. The bun is as good as they come, pillowy soft, yet strong enough to hold all of the ingredients that make up these massive sandwiches. Now as far as the food itself, well, disappointing to say the least. I tried the chicken katsu, crackle belly, and Seoul beef. All were technically flawed in various ways. The chicken katsu was the more enjoyable of the bunch, great on breading and flavor, but the chicken itself was tough and on dry side. The amount of beef in the Seoul beef is beyond generous, and actually tasty. But the kimchi does absolutely nothing to add to this. As far as the crackle belly? My oh my. Pork belly is my thing. I've had more than I could count. None as bad as this. The name crackle implies crispy. This cut of pork was so tough and overcooked with little to no fat, that i started to question if it was even ever from the belly itself. Surely this could not be the norm at boa sandwich bar. Maybe a bad day at the office? I would certainly hope so, because even with mild expectations, Bao sandwich bar falls waaaay short.

Our server was friendly and enthusiastic as she brought dish after dish, never leaving us short of tea or napkins. She even gave us extra dessert as my father and I really liked it. There's a handful of parking spots outside, not much though. Great for family and friends, lots of seating inside. Good for groups of 2-8. This is one of the most affordable Chinese restaurants I've found, it's super affordable and for 7 people, our bill came to about $250.

Positives were the large portions, colourful fresh ingredients, and cute interior decor…read more Was it AUTHENTIC ? Not in my opinion...especially coming from SE Asian roots and having travelled in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Majority of the dishes here seemed more of a fusion of different cultures rather than purely Indonesian. The flavours didn't quite hit the mark and spice levels were near non-existent. Seeing the fellow diners...I can see that the flavours must've been westernized. And for this style of more 'comfort/rustic' style dishes, the main dishes were quite expensive at ~$45+ each. Drinks were mild in flavour, but at least not too sweet! This was a fun try, especially if you're not one for spicy food. CASH & DEBIT ONLY. We tried the: -gado gado (Indonesian potato salad) -angus beef tandoori (with taro mash) -duck curry with crispy noodles -mango lassi -thai iced tea (more like condensed milk tea, barely had the Thai tea flavour) -specialty mojito

Bhima Warung is highly rated as one of the top Asian restaurants in Waterloo when I was doing my…read moreresearch. I'm no expert on Indonesian cuisine, however, trying out these fancy exotic dishes on a velvet-covered table in a dim setting is pretty romantic. We opted for indoor seating, though the outside patio radiates a cozy charm. The Pad Ped, a delicious red curry concoction of surf and turf, absolutely wins. Can't forget the goi thai dumplings either, wrapped with chicken and scallops - a personal fave. Salads didn't hit the mark for us. The calamari salad (sorry forgot the name) suffered from less-than-fresh squid. Kudos to the excellent service: they let us swap for another salad on the menu, certainly better, yet overshadowed by the first two dishes. Still I would recommend to try this unique spot out, especially for the two dishes I've mentioned!

During my visit, a friend and I ordered the Braised Pork Rice (~$10), Stewed Beef Noodles (~$12), and the Beef Wrap (~$6). The ordering is done at the front counter, but a kind server will bring you the food if you choose to eat-in (which I'd recommend - the atmosphere is lovely and the place never looks to be too crowded). The first thing we noticed about the food was that the portions were massive. The Braised Pork Rice was a decent size, but definitely manageable for a hungry person with an average appetite. The bowl of Stewed Beef Noodles, on the other hand, was definitely huge enough to satisfy two people. We expected the Beef Wrap to be appetizer-sized, but it came out looking like a full-sized burrito. Needless to say, we ordered far more than enough food for our stay. Taste-wise, the braised pork and beef wrap were both a 4/5. The noodle broth wasn't my favourite, but I might just order it again if I get hungry enough (lol). Overall, Silkburg is a great addition to the neighbourhood and serves as the perfect place for a low-key meal. :-)

The bibimbap was pretty good. They gave a hearty amount of beef and purple rice. There was also an abundant amount of veggies such as spinach, cucumbers, carrot and kale. The sauces were nice and savoury although the red sauce was not spicy enough. It was great that they put the sauces in separate containers so you could pour them to your own liking. The salmon bbq roll on the other hand wasn't up to par. The rice was not regular sushi grade rice and there wasn't that much filling on the inside. The prices were a bit expensive on Uber ($15.99 for bibimbap), however there was an ongoing promo of if you spend $20+ you would receive the salmon roll for free. We ended up eating at their onsite patio and it was a pretty good experience. The staff were super friendly.
