126 Chinese Restaurant in Kitchener

Great food.

Some of the freshest Chinese food i have ever had in a long time. Amazing wings and beat beef and broccoli. We will order again next time we are in KW

The rooms leave a lot to be desired. The food was good, the price and performance were right.

Love 126 Chinese. It is our go to for chinese take out! Yummy

Mediocre Chinese food. WARNING: if you eat here please double-check your bill. The people working at the restaurant handed me a over charged bill twice then still expect a tip. Food

The food was a 10/5. Orderd for 6, everyone was flabbergasted with how good the food was. Real whole chicken in the chicken balls, easily the best General Tso chicken Ive ever had (its very sauce heavy if thats an issue for someone else, but I like the extra sauce on the noodles). I would recommend just getting the broccoli instead of the mixed vegetables. Broccoli was cooked perfectly, not too crunchy and not mushy, just a tiny bit of crunch left on the outside and soft on the inside.

It was a bad treatment and we found an insect in a plate I do not recommend it. It was a very bad experience

Terrible customer service, I got billed for a $140 order I didn t receive. Outrageous.

Tastes great

I went to pick deliverey Firstly I wait for my door dash order for more than 10 mins and then I asked for washroom. She denied me to use in aggressive way and told me it is only for customer and didnt respond me. If Google allow me to put 0 star then definitely I will give no stars to this restaurant.

Food is amazing .

My wife and I have ordered food from this restaurant for many years. Last week we ordered about $170 worth of food. The battered chicken and battered shrimp were way below what we have come to expect as a regular customer. In fact, they had little to no shrimp or chicken in them. We phoned and asked to speak with the owner and have had no callback as yet. We live within walking distance of The Mandarin and will take our business there from now. Very unfortunate that we had no contact to discuss our disappointment and perhaps stay as customers.

Where are the vegetables in my vegetable fried rice?

One of my comfort food locations. Their portions are very good/huge and reasonably priced. I d recommend getting the general Tao Chicken with rice or noodles on the side. Recommended dishes General Taos Chicken, Fried Rice

I ordered pick up. It s was fast , fresh and good service

Good Day, I had a wonton soup and a number 6 the food was very good a well dressed full plate. I m a good eater and the size of the plate was perfect. The wonton soup was one of the best I had in a restaurant. The only down side I can tell is the look when you eat in the restaurant. Worker was very nice and food was at the table quickly! I ordered a Wonton soup and a number 6 was excellent, one of the best wonton soups I have eaten in a long time. The only small problem is the look once inside the restaurant, its not very well finished lets say but its clean, the staff was nice too!

Food was good. Just not enough meat in the chicken balls, lemon chicken, or battered shrimp. Too much batter, not enough meat.

Very nice staff and the food was on point for what we were looking for. Will go again.

We had a takeaway while staying across the street. The Hot and Sour soup was very good - quite different from what I am used to as it had seafood. I think there was a bit of conch meat in the soup and that was a delicious morsel. My beef with black bean sauce was tasty but could have used more meat. Service was quick and staff were friendly.

This is definitely a place you want to get takeout. They only have 3 tables, it would be a very awkward dinein experience. The food tastes pretty good, but for the price, the portions are not great. A $12 combo plate only comes with one meat and then rice and an egg roll. Not quite enough to fill me up.

Ordered take out and everything was as expected. Food was excellent.

A hidden gem really fresh food.

Best Chinese in the region as far as Im concerned, but the dining area is worn out and needs a major facelift. Paint is peeling, chairs are broken, etc.

If you live in South Kitchener, or drive through South in your way home...give it a try. Its been our families go to Chinese food soot for years. Always fast and a good value. Vegetarian options: Fried tofu w vegetables is excellent.

I really enjoyed the general Tao chicken; the food was fresh and great price would recommend it.

Food is amazing! Delivery was fast ! 5 stars! Def recommend this place

terrible, you can just see in the picture how much breading there is compared to chicken in the lemon chicken. super disappointing. was not offered any compensation, won t be ordering from here ever again.

The ladies are always so nice. The food is fast and great we are never disappointed. We moved to Cambridge and still get our take out from here.

Holy Jesus, but this was good. I stopped by in the early evening and grabbed a combo. My 4 HUGE, tender and delicious chicken balls and hot, fresh chow mein was to die for. How have I never noticed this place before? Its my new go-to Chinese place.

As prices skyrocket quality plunges. worst meal i have had in a while, high prices and smaller portions, lower quality. shrimp meal for 1 came with a few diced carrots and a ton of diced celery with a couple of small pieces of chicken .Spring roll was terrible, it was like eating pure garlic. S&S chicken came with very little rice and very little beef in with the bean sprouts. For $50 I do not recomend

Small dine in restaurant with simple decor. Excellent quick service and very good quality food. High value for money.

Good lunch specials for the money . Food

Over charged me and pretended not to understand me. After 5 min explaining the individual showing my charges I was charged more for one item and then an additional $10 for my order as a whole. Very rude about it and didn t care.

Small place, doing mainly take-out, but serves delicious food...especially the lunch plates.

Good service and atmosphere but not good food for the Indians who love Chinese. Taste is very different and difficult to understand .

Somewhat dissatisfied with my last few delivery orders. The food has always tasted good but the value for the money is poor... At least with meat options. Tonight I ordered two meat options ( Mongolian beef and Kung Pao chicken) and the containers were almost fully vegetables. I have no problem with some veggie filler but for $30, I expect to have more than 1 portion of meat between both dishes.

The food is prepared very quickly and hot .. liked General Tao s chicken very much .. the Shanghai noodles also very good ..

delicious portions

Just ordered it and thr had it ready extremely quick food is good will go again

Birthday dinner!!! I love this place. Always great service!! Best chineese food in town! So nice and friendly.....Everything always very fresh! Iove the pad Thai.. .I recommend everything...I try everything on the menu.

Awesome food. Doesnt look like much on the outside and dated on the inside but the food is amazing.

Spent $80 and got home to find this food very poor quality so we put it in the trash. Nothing authentic about it.

The chicken is missing from the lemon chicken, 99% is batter, with an extremely thin slice of chicken

First and last time to order from this place. Way overpriced. Chicken with black bean sauce is more of veggies with black bean sauce and the list goes on with other menu items! Not sure what to call this! Save your money and go elsewhere.

I order lunch from this place today, I ordered the beef and black bean. The very little beef and black bean I got was good but 90 % of the dish was just rice and bean sprouts. Very disappointed because it had great potential. But I wont go back

Best chinese food in the area. My favourites are the Shanghai noodles (I can hardly ever find the thick noodles, and these are really good) and a hot and sour soup, wonton soup mix.

Great food, great service all at a fair price. We have been ordering from and also dining in at the 126. Everything is hot and fresh. Spicy dishes can be had extra spicy. Never had an issue with this place and we have been customers for a couple of years now. Luncheon special is a winner, you can make your own choices of what to have.

Our go-to Chinese take out since moving to the KW area a year ago. Tried a couple different places and found that we were always wanting to order again from 126 Chinese! Food is always prepared/ready for pickup in a good time frame and always nice and hot when we get back to our apartment to eat. Service is very friendly and we are always greeted with a smile.

It was the worst food ever and a total waste of my money. Never again there was no flavor the egg rolls had no flavor the chicken fried rice had no flavor a total waste of money I dont recommend this to noooooo body.

Great food. Friendly service.

This place has really good food and its always ready when they say it will be. We order over $60 every order and we always get a free sweet and sour pork. I wish I could give them 6 stars

Been ordering from here for years and never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Not fresh food

Nice little place, nice food, excellent service, great chinese tea ! will dine-in again :)

They are quick not bad prices and food was great!

Best Chinese in the Waterloo region.

Seems to be a very run-of-the-mill Chinese food restaurant. Mediocre appearance inside and out, mediocre food... would give 2 and a half stars if that was an option. Service was quick, and with a nice smile. Would only eat here again if I was frustrated, and low on options, but hungry for Chinese.

Ordered soup, rice, fried chicken delivery through DoorDash. The restaurant did not put any cutlery or napkins. When I called them, instead of apologizing for their mistake, they claimed that I should have specifically requested cutlery and napkins. Every orher restaurant Ive ordered from puts spoons and forks, or chopsticks depending on the dish ordered. Very unprofessional service from the restaurant. The food was so-so. Will never buy from them again. Fortunately, DoorDash agreed that this level.of service is unacceptable and refunded the full price of the order. Hope the restaurant learns a lesson in customer service.

If you want good Chinese food and good prices come here. U gotta get the seaseme chicken its busssin no cap

Has weathered the COVID storm well.

good food nice people

Love love love!!!! The food is always delicious, staff very friendly!!! Our go to spot!!!

Pick up service is speedy, and the food is hot when picked up. Ive never had a bad experience with 126.

Amazing service and food. We went for dine in and we will definitely go back or will order for pick up.

The best! By far.

Decided to try 126 after reading good reviews. My 2 cents. Run of the mill canadianized chinese food. Pretty greasy, nothing special. Didnt feel great after eating. Price is kinda up there for what youre getting. Wont be returning.

Really enjoyed this place. I ve been a few times since moving to the area and it is top notch. Great noodles, great portions, great flavors. Will be back again.

Awesome food! Ordered to go and they said will be ready in 12 minutes but I believe I was out in less than 10.

The nicest people!

We ordered ginger beef, and it was 90% onions and only 10% beef. Really sad for the price paid.

Just disappointing. Very bland.

I dont even know where to start. Ordered on Uber eats. Food came very hot, but that is probably the only good thing I can say. Ordered the hot and sour soup. No where on the menu does it say that the soup contains pork so that went straight in the trash. You should really update your menu to state there is pork in it. The jar do chicken wings are engulfed in batter and salt (not even sure if it was salt or msg). The chicken fried rice was the most bland fried rice Ive ever had. Would have been better off ordering plain steamed rice. The beef lo mein was not fantastic, but it wasnt horrible either. And last but not least, the sesame chicken. It was the tiniest pieces completey wrapped in batter and fried super hard and every bite oozed grease. The entire dish was a mixture of pieces that were just batter with no chicken and some as described. Long story short, never again. Shopping mall food courts have better than this.

Great place to grab Chinese food. Food is amazing and staff are always so nice!

Food was bland. The veg lo mein and veg fried rice had almost no vegetables in them. Egg rolls blah. Salt garlic tofu, which is supposed to be spicy - wasnt. One nice thing is that the tofu was cut into small cubes. Most places cut it so large - I guess because its easier/quicker to prep that way. We appreciated the small cubes of fried tofu. True the staff was friendly - just blah food.

Best General Taos chicken around

Fast becoming a family favourite, this restaurant offers great food at a reasonable price. The curried potatoes and Singapore noodles are awesome. Recommended

Wow! Read the Google reviews on this place and now that I have had there food, I am inclined to believe these were written by the owners. Worst Chinese food I have ever had! Watery chicken curry that was like dish water. Grey beef in beef and broccoli, palest whitest, noodles in the Cantonese chow mein...ugh whole meal was gross!...most of it sits in my compost bin. Anyone reading those fake reviews about best Chinese in city, beware. $100 out to the compost bin is my truth

Came for lunch today and it was very delicious , the fried noodles were very delicious

Love the food big portions friendly staff and food is great Parking: Lots Wheelchair accessibility: No steps

Called, no one answered. Tried to place an order online, can t as the time for pick up is unavailable? Not sure how I am supposed to support a local business if I can t order food from them?

We order from 126 regularly. The food is always hot, fresh and tasty - very consistent. Great customer service too!

Absolutely the best Chinese food hands down

The food wasn t good, 10$ for a lot of rice with no vegetables and 2 shrimps, my girlfriend didn t even finish her veggie fried noodles because it was too salty and had a fake flavour. I m giving 2 stars because the service wasn t as bad as the food.

First time customers. The food we ordered was outstanding. Made with fresh products. Very tasty and full of flavors. Awesome wonton soup. Large portions. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We will be back. Definitely worth checking out. Highly recommend.

Friendly service, good portion size and tastes great! Give it a try!!!

Ordered the other day for dinner, I was super happy with the result. My food came quickly and was perfectly hot and fresh; not to mention tasty. My only complaint would have to be that I was about to order it again today only to find that they do not serve on Tuesdays! Guess Ill have to wait until tomorrow

Food was hot and order was correct but delivery driver was awful. Driver didnt want to hand over the food unless we gave a tip! We felt incredibly uncomfortable. Left in a huff when he didnt receive one.

My go to restaurant for Jar Doo wings

I order food on Easter Sunday for delivery & the food is hot and fresh and always great customer service and they listen to there customers. Thank you for all the hard work you all do keep up the great work. I will be ordering again . Number one place to go to in the Kitchener Waterloo area .

Found out about this place today since I was craving wonton soup :). I ended up ordering the wonton soup, no.6 combo, and canto chow mein. All in all, everything was delicious and tasted authentic, the portions were also generous, food was tightly packed. I highly recommend this place.

Staff was really nice and helpful, but unfortunately the food was extremely greasy. So greasy neither myself or my friend didnt finish it. Also the chicken balls were more batter then chicken which was disappointing.

Good food

This place has a great reputation and the first two times I went it was welll deserved. The last two were AWFUL. There is virtually no meat or vegetable in their common dishes. Vegetable lo mien nothing more than a few water chestnuts, pork fried rice with no more than a few pieces of pork that are so small they must have been cut with scissors. A huge disappointment

50/50 Placed a large order this weekend. Not really a do over for $100 Plus: Wings, excellent Singapore fried noodles, excellent & prepared mild as requested Portions, excellent Delivery, excellent On the minus: Almond soo guy had too much batter, could taste the fry oil Beef & brocolli tasted fishy. Perhaps cooked in oyster juice (not advertised) even still, wasnt fresh. Offputting taste & smell. Tossed the entire dish. Ordered veg rice, received egg fried rice Gravy had an artificially sweet taste

Deliciously fresh ingredients and so generously portioned. Thanks for a great meal!

Delicious! Would go again

Great service, great food. Portion sizes are amazing and the food is ready FAST. The pad thai is especially good. Will certainly be back for more.

One.of the best around. General Tso Chicken is easily the best Ive ever had. Genuine szechuan.

Wonderful food and great service, Ill definitely be returning in the future

The food at 126 is consistently good. Portions are big and the taste is awesome. Good value for money and great flavours, especially the Singapore Fried Noodles

The lunches are good. Lotsa choice and yummy. Takeout. They follow strict covid rules and I like that. Oh and one lunch can feed 2. Lotsa food.

Authentic Chinese food, the best I ever had in Canada so far in the past 2 months. Excellent!

The food was delicious

First time ordering and was completely satisfied. Lemon chicken, garlic and salt shrimp, chicken fried rice, vegetable spring rolls and sautéed vegetables all was amazing. Highly recommend this place. I will definitely go back!!!

best chinese food in town

Best I ve had! Their general Tso is the best! And they have great customer service as well as delivery usually comes in half the time they say it might be (unless they re busy obv)

Even though we got stuck in traffic, and 20 minutes late, our order was delicious. The only thing was the chicken balls are too big, monstrous in fact. But if thats what you need .

Best Chinese takeout in the area!

This place is great for take out. Portions are good size, food is always how Id expect and its ready to pick up on time everytime

Great food Great prices what more do you want?? As for the woman complaining about something for nothing, she should think about that in her line of work. Would she just give away something for nothing if her customer didnt follow the rules??? This is my go to restaurant when Im in the mood for great Chinese food !!!

This place is horrible with take-out orders. Ordered over phone and they told me to show up at a certain time. When I did that, they said I need to wait 10 more mins. I managed to wait 20 mins until I decided to leave the restaurant without my food. It is ridiculous!

Food is always fresh and hot

Food is awesome whether dining in or taking to go!! Staff and service is great, fast and friendly

Excellent prices for combination plates! Good portions for the money. Food tastes great! Recommend beef broccoli for sure. I would visit again next time I am in town.

Usually we order from Jumbo Dragon, tonight we decided to give this place a chance. The rice was dry, very little of anything in it other than rice. Chicken balls were all breading and very little chicken, and maybe 2 tablespoons of sweet and sour sauce. We will not make this mistake again.

Food was delicious, hot, and delivery was very quick! Thank you for being open and bringing food joy during these unprecedented times. We appreciate it and look forward to ordering more in the very near future!

I can say without question, this is hands down the worst chinese food Ive ever had. We decided to try them because they were the only Chinese restaurant open on Easter Monday and the reviews were all excellent. We paid over $60 for 5 dishes. No fortune cookies and 2 of the dishes smelled like animal urine. The beef and broccoli and lo mein were inedible. Like you smell it and your brain says not safe for human consumption. The rest of the food was extremely sub par and generic breaded chicken. Never again.

Food was mushy, had lack of flavour and the veggies in the lo mein tasted very chemically/soapy. Very strange.

Great food whenever I order and I ve been going here for about 2 years now. Don t get Chinese food anywhere else anymore. Great deals on the combination plates too.

Awesome high quality Chinese food.

One of my favorite take out ma po tofu dishes- just a tiny hint of spice and a tiny hint of sweet and everything that makes you want to come back and have it again

This is the ONLY restaurant for Chinese food!!! Owners are wonderful and service always top notch!

Good service, alright food only thing I really dislike is most the dishes dont come with rice. Has to be ordered on the side. Not bad, might try again if in the area.

Very mediocre. Food doesn t have in-depth rich flavours.

There was a mucous film on the vegetables. Noodles, tasteless and not what was expected.

Excellent food! Great taste, portion size and most importantly is the quality. Much better quality than other Chinese restaraunts in kitchener

Food always arrives quick and hot, never a problem with delivery. Everything tastes great and they have generous servings.

We have been loyal customers for over 2 years but will not be returning. Our mushroom fried rice has smelled rotten twice in the last 3 months. The first time we let it slide and figured we wouldn t let one bad experience ruin our favourite Chinese restaurant but tonight it happened again. Makes me wonder how long they re letting their rice sit before serving it. Completely disgusting and unacceptable. SMELL YOUR RICE BEFORE EATING IT.

Not bad! Fast and friendly service... not overly salty like some places...

Ordered take out - first time - great food, good portions, good prices. We will be ordering there again!

Excellent!!!

Food was delicious! They must have been very busy that night because the service was a little slow, but they made up for it by giving us 2 free drinks.

Always delicious yummy food and fresh...

Love the lemon chicken. Very nice people running/working here.

Food tasted good but I didn t get my sauce for my almond soo guy and neither my friend or me got a fortune cookie :(

Best Chinese food in the tri-cities

Great tasting good quality

It is one of favorite go to places . Best value for your money and the food is wonderful with generous portion sizes and the staff is wonderful and always pleasant. I highly recommend this place.

Pretty good Chinese place, cant complain about anything

Last time i ordered ,i was extremely sick later that night .

Delicious, fresh, high quality food in large portions for the price. Friendly staff.

Great food , = nice family runs the place , chicken curry could have more chicken in it , the chicken balls have very little chicken in them , more chicken less dough

Meals always fresh great prices

This place was yummy and very clean.

I m pretty picky about Chinese food....and well this is some good food!

Had it delivered and it was amazing!

Great food

Decent food and okay price, but staff is super friendly.

This by far is the best chinese food in KW , always hot and fresh when delivered .

Food and service were great the ambiouence left a bit to be desired

Great place and amazing food and price. Go there a lot.

Great food quick service good value

Very satisfied Beith our first experience. The food was great and the service quick. Will be ordering from here again.

Delicious homemade food and sauces. Well priced and well presented. Friendly , quick service as well!

Good service, price and food. Would recommend. They also have a high chair for kids

Great food

First time ordering from this place. What a disappointment! The General Tao felt like fried chicken skin with so many burned chilies. The beef lo mein came with 4 pieces of beef. And the beef with ginger was 95% ginger & onions. We are not going back.

Love this place. Not much in the decor but its my go to place for hot and sour soup and salt and garlic chicken. I dont believe Ive ever had a bad dish here. Always speedy and friendly as well :)

Food is always fresh and tastes great! The staff are super friendly. Always a great experience here

This is a great family business, very friendly service and great prices/portions.

Best chinese take out place in the town, impressed how they have managed to stay consistent with the flavors and customer service over the years.

Surprisingly good food at very reasonable price

Great food and nice staff

Its my favourite they never disappoint me
