Food was okay, but chicken balls were the biggest disappointment, lots of batter with a tiny bit of chicken.

October 22, 2024

Very disappointing. Wanted to enjoy a nice family dinner. Ordered the dinner for four people, plus the general tao. Spent over $100, barely had enough to feed all four of us. Food was for take out, restaurant is only a 3 minute drive so it should not have arrived as if it was refrigerated. Chicken balls were lacking any kind of chicken and batter was raw. The cherry on top was that we were all very sick through out the night. Trying to support local, but I was disgusted and extremely disappointed. If I could give zero stars I would.

Absolutley delicous food for cheap prices they load your plates with so much food! My go to place to eat in Fergus with my girl. The interior could use a little bit of love but the food makes up for it. Very quiet store never busy. 9.5/10 deverse much more attention in the Fergus/Elora area

If I could give zero I would. Just ordered from this place, got the dinner for two meal and confirmed while ordering what was in the meal. They gave us chop suey instead of chow mein and drenched our chicken balls in sweet and sour sauce (usually places put it in the side) I’m not a fan of the sour sauce so I would have preferred it on the side. The chicken fried rice looked grey and unappetizing. I couldn’t even eat it. Save yourself the money and go elsewhere.

Just order food from this place. Worst Chinese food I ever had. Everything is stale, bland, super dry, no actual favour but soaked in soy sauce. We ended up throwing away the food $70 wasted. Always check your food before you leave the place. Never again.

Had a takeout for this year’s Chinese new year. Food was delicious. We had dumplings, lemon chicken, mushroom fried rice, shrimp Shang hai noodles, tofu mixed vegetables, and egg rolls. Food was ready quickly and was very hot when we got it home. Three of us ate and have leftovers for at least two more meals. Cash only. Lots of street parking.

Worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten! Avoid this restaurant!!! To begin , the place looks greasy and only takes cash. Get with the times, it’s the 21st century! what restaurant only takes cash during a pandemic ?!?! Ordered the General Tao chicken and wontons. The meal was tasteless and inedible. The wontons consisted of overcooked deep fried wonton wrapper with absolutely no filling. Needless to say, I will never eat at this restaurant again.

Friendly staff, good service. Nice fresh coffee and orange juice. Chips are frozen packet or i would have given 5 stars. Nice salad, fresh Calamari, portions could be larger but all food tasty.

If I could give zero I would. Customer service is the worst Ive ever delt with very argumentative and would rather prove themselves right then listen. Absolutely paled with the look of the food and was given chow mein over lo mein and soggy sauce covered chicken balls. I really dont under stand how this place has a 4+ star rating. Learn my lesson. Waisted $60 atleast the rice was decent.

Owner was more interested in prepg an order than taking care of his only sit in customers. I had to approach him more than once through the kitchen window asking for things and he almost sounded upset. No wonder the place is empty and very outdated furniture. Food was acceptable but service was a 1 or 2 out of 5. Seriously.... put your priority on your physical customers and attend to them rather than neglect them! And update your furniture and walls. I was in the food industry for many years running a business and these ppl have no idea how to treat thier customers. Food tasted liked used old oil being used! Ended up in the bathroom 30 mins later. Wow.. wake up and take care of your customers and stop using OLD reused cooking oil and have better people skills.

Nestled in Fergus, the family-owned Black & White Diner offers a warm embrace with its friendly owners. The lemon chicken is a must-try, complemented by crispy chicken wings and flavorful lo mein. The cheese wontons are a crispy delight. For genuine hospitality and authentic Chinese dishes, this diner is a standout in town. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed a delightful lunch at the restaurant, savoring the authentic flavours of the lemon chicken, sweet and sour chicken, egg rolls, and cheese wontons. The friendly service and the charmingly classic diner vibe created a truly memorable dining experience.

Showed up at 9pm and only one lady working. My boyfriend and I ordered the daily combo and Salisbury steak. We also had the cheese wontons. Everything was absolutely awesome. We were greeted right away. everything was hot and very tasty. We were very pleasantly surprised. We both agree that we would definitely eat here again.

December 22, 2021

Tasteless food. Tried the Chinese dinner for 5 and was disappointed. Will not return. BBQ pork was lacking any seasoning. Sweet and sour chicken balls was mostly batter and the sauce that goes with tasted watered-down. Egg rolls were all flattened since they were stuffed in their box. Wasn t for us.

★★★
December 22, 2021

Very good noodles, fried rice was quite flavorful however the beef in the fried rice seemed like it was about 2 days old. It was hard as rocks and very very dry. Hot and sour soup was better than most places it was more on the sweet side than the sour side. Lemon chicken was probably the worst lemon chicken Ive ever seen it. Tasted okay howeverr the chicken inside was quite small and the batter was falling off it was just kind of crammed in the container it looked like somebody had had their way with it and then put it back in the container. I was very very unimpressed with the lemon chicken. Overall the food was pretty tasty but theres definitely some improvements they can make to certain dishes I would order from there again to try different options but I would probably never try the lemon chicken again considering how underwhelming it was.

Very friendly service -- I think its family-run and they clearly care about their customers. I had a wonderful (quick) dinner here. I had the Chinese meal (they have about 10 options of pre-determined meals but you can also choose individual items if you prefer). They have a lot of American food options too. The waiter was actually quite impressive: I watched him remember a very specific order of 7 people without writing anything down, and it came out perfect.

I rarely post poor reviews, so this is a bit of a shocker, even for me. We went for Sunday lunch. Place was deserted and looked a bit grubby. Didnt worry to much as we had read all the good reviews. Server was friendly and we ordered the Chinese dinner for two. Wifey went to the bathroom which was not clean. Soup was served and a funky smell hit us almost immediately. The soup looked and smelled very dodgy. A murky broth with some rice and two tiny chicken pieces. A tiny taste confirmed something was very wrong - almost threw up. We cancelled the rest of the meal and hastily left. Was disappointed considering the good reviews, but based on our horrible experience, we wont go back. The grubby premises, dodgy bathroom and funky soup was just too much.

When I first walked into this place (largely based on reviews that I had read), I wasnt sure what to think. It looked a bit like an old style diner, or maybe a school cafeteria. I had a burger and fries - nothing fancy, but it was pretty tasty. What really got me was the man who was working there. I assume he was the owner, though I dont know that for sure. He was very personable, polite, and friendly, and really seemed to care about his customers. The world needs more shop/restaurant/small business owners like him.
