It is very rare to find true Chinese food outside of Chinatown, but I have at Wok Hey! The food is authentic (no artificially sweetened+coloured bright-red chicken balls here), delicious*, and the service is so pleasant (sincere kindness and patience with a smile and dash of good humor). (*My father is very particular about how he likes his hot-and-sour soup ... and he is sooo happy to have finally found one he loves, at Wok Hey :-).) It is really sad that comments with very low ratings about the previous owner's food are still holding down the general rating for the current store. My experience has been nothing but positive at the current Wok Hey and I hope that people who want to eat real Chinese food will give this place a try! Note: I have not been compensated in any way, shape, or form, to write this review. I believe in supporting others who are kind, work hard, and offer quality products and services.

The food is so delicious and fresh🥰 I recently enjoyed a delightful meal consisting of two main dishes: stir-fried water spinach and steamed chicken with a savory topping. Both dishes complemented each other well, offering a balanced meal that was both nutritious and flavorful. Paired with a refreshing drink, it made for a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.

Super excited to find a Chinese restaurant that has very authentic Cantonese flavours and is probably one of the only places in Ottawa that has a similar taste to what you can find in Toronto. Wok Hey seems to have inherited the Google Maps page of the previous restaurant but it is in fact under new ownership since about 7 months ago. We got the pepper salt pork chop, fish with tofu, and stir fried rice noodles with beef. Everything was cooked well and the seasoning is spot on for our tastes. The noodles had some wok hei flavour, the pork chop was fried nicely and with a good amount of aromatics, and the fish tofu had a freshly fried tofu and a good sauce that held its texture till the end of the meal. Staff are very nice. 10% off pick up orders. We will definitely be back to try more dishes.

We were craving for chinese food and found this online. As soon as I read a review that this is REAL chinese food, we decided to get food here. Lily greeted us with her radiant smile when we came in. She showed us their menu and helped us look for what what we wanted to order. They were very busy, clients and delivery guys coming in and out to pick up orders and Lily greeted them all with a smile. She just seems to be genuinely happy to be there. She is a truly an asset to the company as she was kind and helpful. The food was amazing! We were so glad to have found this place. Now we know where to get real chinese food when we’re back in the area. Highly recommended!

Amazing food and service. The owner helped cook our food and brought it out personally. Food was ready quick even though they were busy. We ordered 7 dishes and the portions fed our family of 10 with extra leftovers. Black pepper beef steak and ma poo tofu were a hit. Looking to try the free range chicken next time! Definitely coming back.

Hands down impressed with this new place! I have to give them credit for being the ONLY Chinese restaurant in Ottawa that serves a proper & authentic free run chicken dish! The food arrived piping hot and everything was cooked perfectly HK style. Ordered via UberEats last night for the first time. I didn’t have high expectations given the options of Chinese food in Ottawa but they left me impressed. Will definitely be ordering again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

My regular place closed early so I decided to give Wok Hey! a try and I am very pleased. The owner was very friendly and the food was fresh and delicious. The shrimp fried rice was light and fluffy and the crispy beef and a really nice sauce and was cooked well. Egg rolls were pretty typical but the plum sauce had a unique flavour. Surprising but good.

This is the first time that I have ordered food from this restaurant. Generous size orders, Excellent food, But the black bean pepper steak had small bones in it which my wife and I have never seen in any restaurant, And unfortunately my wife chipped a tooth which left me very disappointed with the lazy chef who couldnt cut the small bones out of his meat. Because of this I dont know if I could ever eat in this restaurant again.

My dad is very picky about his food quality, and weve tried all the good Chinese places around town, all mediocre. Tried this place out after seeing some promising reviews and hes finally said this is the best Chinese food hes had in Ottawa. Similar to his favourite Chinese food back home in Australia. 10/10 recommend for the closest to non-Canadian Chinese food in Ottawa.

I was craving a late night snack and ordered a #1 combo plate just before close (about 25 mins prior to closing time). The food was so good! The portion was ever-so generous! The egg roll was so crunchy and crispy! Yummy! No complaints whatsoever. So happy to have a good Chinese place in the neighbourhood.

This isn t your average westernized Chinese take-out spot. This is authentic, traditional Cantonese/Guangzhou/HK-style cooking. If you want really good Chinese food that even older Asian generations can appreciate, come here. So happy to have found this spot a few weeks ago and will definitely be a regular. The owner was so friendly and kind, great customer service and hella fast. Vegetarian options: Buddhas delight and braised mushroom dishes are a chefs kiss.

S&P beef short ribs: could go without the breading. Good portion and taste. 4/5 S&P Japanese tofu: rare restaurant that offers this in Ottawa, best version yet. 5/5 Beef and daikon: authentic but beef could be more tender. 4/5 Fish and tofu: too much breading on the fish (mostly breading). Taste is ok. 3/5 Braised free run chicken with scallion: they managed to get the salt to permeate into the meat without it being too salty on the outside. Very fresh. 5/5

The combo plate 9 was what I ordered, no cutlery like I put in the delivery order. Chicken balls are as tough as if they were nuked in the microwave, tao chicken was a little more tender, enough rice to feed an army. Chicken balls had small piece of chicken and thick tough dough that went into the garbage. Spring rolls were OK, as was egg roll that came with the combo plate. Maybe if I dine in I would have more choices, I am at work and couldnt order off the menu and have a ton of leftovers. It was delivery, so no idea what the atmosphere is or the service, Uber couldnt figure out where to go, even though I had give clear instructions.

December 21, 2023

Ordered Almond Soo Guy and they forgot the gravy so the chicken was very dry. Chicken balls were also very chewy/stale and sweet & sour sauce tasted watered down. However, the chicken fried rice was fresh and delicious, the spicy crispy beef was yummy and the delivery was very friendly! Just not worth the amount we paid.

December 21, 2023

I used to love the hot and sour soups, but after receiving my order tonight I was ridiculously disappointed. It was water, and was missing 3 ingredients. Literally hot water. Will not be returning, what a disappointment.

December 21, 2023

Used to love this place but sadly just had the worst experience ever - everything was wrong! Spring rolls were tiny grocery store kind, not made in house like they used to be. Szechwan tofu dish was obviously a blackbean tofu leftover from the night before - tofu was cold and crunchy, and found a metal staple in it! Mixed veg was nothing but broccoli and onion. Plum sauce was watered down. And worst of all the steamed rice was obviously scrapped off the bottom of the steamer. How can an Asian restaurant screw up rice!?! Sorry Asian Palace, never again.

Ordered at 7.21 this evening, and received confirmation that the food would be delivered at 8.17pm. At 9.21pm the food had still not arrived, having tried to call the restaurant many times. Eventually got through to the delivery company who told me the order had been cancelled as they were too busy. They were happy to take the order. Scumbags

They replaced Asian Palace and it appears a lot of the negative reviews here reflect the previous restaurant. Weve ordered twice since they opened a couple of weeks ago and were impressed (especially with the eggplant dishes). Very friendly, accurate estimates for pickup times and a 10 percent discount for grabbing it yourself. My only suggestion: add more beef/pork/shrimp options to the individual combos (besides chicken dishes). Looking forward to trying more dishes from the extensive menu. Welcome to the neighbourhood!

My first visit back since new ownership and I am pleasantly surprised. Online ordering was a breeze and food was ready and waiting hot and on-time as promised. Portions were generous. Ordered a combo plate to try out a few things and everything was quite tasty.

We are very glad something decent finally opened up close by without having to drive to Merivale or Chinatown. It would be great if they can have an option for choosing dishes for the family dinners instead of the set ones. We are hoping the quality/portion/prices will not change any time soon.

My girlfriend and I ordered the beef fried rice and Cantonese braised chicken and we were given a truly 5 star worthy meal.

Tasty Chinese takeaway! Some of the best chicken fried rice Ive had. Garlic spareribs couldve been a touch saucier but still pretty tasty, and the hot and sour soup was really warming and spiced at about the right level.

Wow, that was bad. Garlic spare ribs not terrible tasting but plenty of gristle to chew around. General Tao wouldnt put these guys on KP duty because they shouldnt be near a kitchen. Couldnt stick a fork into the GT chicken and what I did get in my mouth was blech. Fried rice I ate to get through the day but Im worried about my evening. Also, I had to pay cash because they couldnt figure out the three different card machines. Buyer beware.

Rice seemed old and hard and they tried to mask by adding extra soya sauce.. quite honestly everything was inedible and taste like pure salt and fish sauce. Egg roll had 2 pieces of some kind of bone in it. Maybe I caught then on a bad night but was beyond disappounted

This used to be my favourite Chinese food restaurant, unfortunately the last few times Ive ordered the quality isnt there anymore. I ordered tofu and vegetables and the tofu was hard as a rock and there were hardly any vegetables in it. Just some overcooked broccoli and mini corn. The spring rolls used to be skinny and crisp, now theyre thick and doughy. Battered shrimp balls hardly had any shrimp in it. I guess well be looking for a new go to spot.

December 21, 2022

I just ordered today. It was without a doubt the worst meal I have ever had. I ordered lemon chicken. I don t know what the meat was but it was unlike any chicken I have ever eaten. I chewed and chewed and there s no way that I could even swallow it. The wonton soup tasted weird and the spring rolls were OK but not great. I will never order from this restaurant again!!!!!

This will be the last time I give this place a 2nd chance (more like third, fourth, fifth)....I literally threw over $100 of food in the green bin. .

It was really good. Tasty, well prepared. And adorable. We will choose them again, no hesitation.

I ordered food from Asian palace over Uber eats. I was incredibly disappointed by my order. The spare ribs I ordered were overcooked and hard. The sweet and sour chicken balls were sauceless. The rice was wet and mushy. And the egg rolls were undercooked. This was my first experience eating their food and I can say Id never recommend or eat this food again.

I have just discovered this place right near my home and I cant believe how amazing their food taste. I have been order from Ruby Inn for years and now I am switching to them for tastier food, bigger portion and cheaper price.

I ordered a dish that came with shrimp and pork because I specifically wanted shrimp. I asked to sub pork for tofu and they charged me extra for the sub despite the fact that tofu is far cheaper than pork. I got home and found only 2 shrimp in the whole dish. Disappointing to say the least and not worth the higher end price.

I was highly disappointed .. and I never leave reviews. But I feel I had to. The general taos is horrible and the chicken is fatty and doesnt even taste like chicken. The chop sue was the only thing rated a 2 and the chicken in that was also as if It was old processed chicken just horrible. The rice.... bland... no taste and gross. Than I said okay egg roll it is.... nope.. undercooked and soggy. My husband came home and I showed him it he was excited as well until he tried it. The customer service was great! The gentleman was very friendly and upbeat. Really disappointing to see the food delivered with such a low quality

Moved to the area and realized this little takeout restaurant in the McCarthy Plaza, and soon it became our to go spot for Chinese food. Price is right, portion is generous and food is very tasty, we will definitely be back over and over again.

Friendly staff, had a rushed order & was promptly prepared. Unfortunately the food tasted slightly burn & there was hardly any chicken in the rice & chicken dish.

December 21, 2021

Hey! Please change your chef or you shutdown the place. First: it was suppose to be shrimp veggies and not just one particular veggies in it. The shrimps were looking sick and it was just few, then it was so tasteless. I should have prepared food at home but was too tired to make dinner. The steam rice was uncooked. I regret ordering and it might just be my last.

I take back every nice thing I said about this place. Food was 45 min late, cold and not even what I ordered. And the want me to find my own way to the shop to get my refund. The entire idea of delivery is to not go out.

This restaurant has changed hands a number of times over the years, and no longer offers the same consistent quality and service it once did. My familys last order was all completely inedible, and that had never happened before. Prices have made significant jumps, too... over $20 for a dozen spring rolls, now? Are you kidding? We wont be ordering from here anymore, and its such a shame after being our go-to for more than a decade.

I ordered 2 combination plates (each with chicken fried rice and chicken balls, one with general tso chicken and the other with spicy beef), a fried noodle plate and 2 extra egg rolls for delivery. The order took awhile to deliver but thats to be expected on a Friday night. The chicken fried rice on both plates came over-fried (it was dark dark brown and tasted burnt) and neither the general tso or spicy beef were spicy whatsoever. The sweet and sour sauce on the chicken balls and the sauce on the spicy beef tasted bizarre compared to others Ive tried. The only positives of the order were the egg rolls (which were delicious) and the green candies they include, however I would have preferred fortune cookies. This was my first time ordering from Asian Palace and they had great reviews on Skip the Dishes but overall Im disappointed.

I ordered hunan dumplings, chicken fried rice and general tao. The dumplings were good but it ends there. The general tao was refried or reheated chicken was hard and dry not comestible. The fried rice was also dry and tasted burnt. I am chef by trade and have had my share of food all around and I can say this was the worst Ive ever had. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else. I would put 0 stars if I could thats how bad it was.

Not the best best in the city but great for the price and great tofu dish selections. This is a great place for vegetarians and I love that you can chose your heat level for most dishes. Also great that you only need to spend $15 minimum for free delivery. But what really put this place over the top is the AMAZING customer service which is incomparable to other Chinese food places. I started ordering through skip the dishes and and the app totally failed me to the point where I was in tears. I gave up on skip the dishes customer service and called the restaurant. Even though the issue was with the app and the restaurant had no fault, the manager repeated my order and had the food delivered as quickly as possible. Let me repeat, the fault was on th app, and the restaurant still corrected the issue. Even another time, we were not satisfied with a dish and they compensated us, with very little questions asked. I refuse to order from anywhere else in my area because of this. They treat repeat customers well because they actually have your info saved so when you call in, you dont need to give your details over and over again. Thank you Asian Palace for making me feel like my business matters to you and for the great prices and food.

First, I m going to start by thanking the workers. Went in last night at 10:20 not realizing they were ready to close. they insisted so I ordered general tao plate. Plate came out really good, far better than what I expected!

December 21, 2018

I used to order from here all the time but i have seen the quality of the food drastically decline. After our meal tonight which was horrible quality and we experienced really sharp shards of something in the fried rice, I dont think we will be ordering from here again. Shame because they had really good food a year or two ago.

I should have known better than to order Thai from this place. Got the red curry home and it is completely inedible due to the spice level. I called and was told that their Thai is always really spicy which it does not say on the menu. They refused to do anything for me. NEVER AGAIN

Drived up to Ottawa from Toronto to attend my friends wedding party. We ordered some Chinese and Thai food including Egg rolls, Red curry chicken, General Tao, Beef broccoli and Chicken ball. They are awesome, especially the egg rolls. We stayed in Holliday Inn (they are awesome as well). Asian Palace delivered to us in exactly the time range they promised. So glad we choosed them. My husband told me this is the best Chinese Food Take out restaurant ever. Thumb up!
