Oriental Bowl is mainly a takeout place for Chinese food. I used to order from this place from time…read moreto time when I lived several blocks away from it. It is in the southern part of Osborne Village, closer to confusion corner (it's where all the major streets intersect and the map is fun to look at, especially if you're new to the city). I have never stepped foot in this place. I have walked past it countless times. Every order that I have made was over the phone. The folks taking my order were always friendly and did not mess up any of them. The food is okay. It's Cantonese-style that has its westernized moments. I love the Oriental Bowl special fried rice. It has barbequed pork, shrimp, chicken, peas, carrots, and egg. They used to be generous with the fried egg, which I appreciated. I enjoyed the lemon chicken. The chicken was white meat. The sauce was yummy. The batter could have been lighter, though. I still loved it. This place has good chop suey. Can you tell that I ordered here because I love egg dishes? I pretty much tried them all. The barbequed pork, and chicken and mushroom varieties stood out the most. Finally, the mooshi was yummy. I've done the chicken and beef. You get four pancakes. It's fun eating them. The egg roll is okay. It's nothing to write home about. I'd be okay to skip it. It's a solid place for good food when you're hungry and on a budget. This place stays open late (from 10:30 pm till 1:00 am), depending on the evening. (133)

I went with two colleagues for lunch and was impressed on the whole, with two caveats. Like most restaurants in the West End, the prices are exceptionally reasonable. Dishes are almost all under $10. When we arrived on a very cold day, the restaurant was empty. We were immediately brought steaming hot cups of roasted rice tea. We placed our orders, and within 10 minutes we were brought a tray full of food, but not what we ordered. No, it was a selection of free appetizers. We each had a small serving of kimchee (good) and a 1/4 dollop of an excellent garlicky cold potato salad. Also, a plate of tempura battered onion strips with dipping sauce to share. Shortly after, our lunch dishes arrived. My dumpling soup had tender strips of pork and scrambled egg as well as pork and noodle filled dumplings. My colleagues' dishes were of saucy, thick udon-style noodles. All this for lunch and the total was $10/person including 20% tip. No, really. Now for the caveats: the place has a strange odor which I blame on what appears to be a commercial kimchee-maker in a corner of the dining room. It's a little off-putting to my nose, at least, which is not used to such aromas. Second, the place is not particularly vegetarian-friendly. The server, while friendly, did not have a high level of proficiency in English, which made it hard to negotiate which dishes had meat, which had "just a little bit" (or, as she put it in one case, "About 20%.") So I would not recommend the place for veggie folks. The decor is extremely Spartan. A hilariously kitschy touch, though, is a display case with what appears to be shellacked examples of some of the restaurant's dishes. Strange in a funny way. I'll be going back!

The duck had ALL THE SKIN AND FAT TAKEN OFF OF IT! There was only skin on the leg. It looked purposely taken off. Wtf? That's the best part! The shrimp in black bean sauce had 9 small shrimps in the whole dish. I've never had veal that was the colour of chuck roast... The portions were small. The "deluxe" dishes we ordered were stingy. All the meat was overcooked and dry. It sucks to say goodbye to an old friend, but I don't think I'll be going back.

When Spicy Noodle House first opened, I was excited. It was two blocks away from where I lived, in…read morethe heart of Osborne Village. Chinese food wasn't amazing when I lived there. Winnipeg's Chinatown was so tiny that you'd blink and you were done walking the whole thing. Osborne Village did not have a northern Chinese eatery until this place opened up. It was and continues to be steps away from my favourite used music and DVD store. You walk downstairs to get to this restaurant. Even though I lived two blocks away, I probably did takeout once. Most of my meals were delivery. I'd call in my order and one of the family members (mainly the dad back then) would happily come over to deliver my food. I have dined here a couple of times. Spicy Noodle House became my go-to place for yumminess and a bit of home cooking away from home. My favourite meal was the beef brisket in noodles. The beef brisket was tender and incredibly flavourful. It reminded me of how my mom made it, but without the turnips. This place took them out, which I appreciated! The noodles were thick and chewy. The broth was so good. I never had a disaster with the broth getting delivered to me. I also got these huge dumplings that were filled with pork goodness. Sadly, I don't see them on the menu anymore. However, if you get something similar, such as their wontons, you can't go wrong. They are so delicious and comforting. This place is generous with portions. I have also had their mooshi. I've done the pork, beef, and chicken. I am missing the vegetable to complete my mooshi mission. It was all good. It's funny how I only have had mooshi in Winnipeg. Maybe cold evenings scream mooshi as comfort food to me. I passed by this eatery the last time I was in Winnipeg, and was happy that it's still alive and kicking. I am salivating writing this review. I need to return and get reacquainted with the food again. (134)

+.5 for service I…read morelike to begin by saying this rating is based on the premises that this restaurant is Americanized Chinese food. If you're looking for authentic Chinese food, this is not the place for you, and you should stop reading. Lee's Village is a westernized Chinese restaurant located near Downtown Steinbach. I recently did a trip there, and was invited to eat here for dinner with some friends (on their bill). Needless to say I accepted their offer. The inside is quite decent, it does have some resemblance of trying to be a Chinese restaurant. However, the servers are unsurprisingly not Asian...although the chef was, which was somewhat of a good sign. We had the special fried rice, sweet and sour veal, sweet and sour pork, shrimp with vegetables, chicken balls, beef with broccoli, BBQ pork chow mein, and ginger beef. The dishes definitely were not authentic Chinese cuisine, but it did its job in filling my stomach. For a place like this, there's not much I should complain in terms of quality standards, since it's probably the best that Steinbach can offer. Service was excellent despite our large table group. Personally, I wouldn't say no in returning if I'm ever back in Steinbach, even though I know there's the lack of authenticity here.

It's an acquired taste I think....it was a bit weird to eat at first but once I kept on chewing I got used to it. 5 star customer service though! Very nice people.
