“I introduced my husband to this fabulous Indian Hakka restaurant which we visited recently for dinner. We ordered delicious Nepalese Chicken Tandoori Malai Momos which I had raved about ever since I ordered them once for lunch. The momos arrived on a sizzling platter with crisp shredded cabbage and a coriander dipping sauce. After tasting them, my husband agreed he would definitely order them again! We also ordered battered, mildly spiced Hakka Salt and Pepper Prawns (highly recommended), along with Lamb Saag curry, Jeera rice and Garlic Naan. The food arrived quickly and the staff were very friendly. Everything tasted delicious! Although we were very full and satisfied we couldn't resist ordering some tasty sweets, Gulab Juman and Rasmulai, for dessert with some Masala tea. This neighborhood gem is one of the best Indian restaurants in KW -- we look forward to coming back!”

PUBLIC Kitchen & Bar 300 Victoria St N, Kitchener Canadian • $$$

“1st time at Public. Restaurant is quaint and very esthetically appealing. Waiter suggested the Chef's choice menu which was $50. We were a group of 5.Drinks and cocktails are quite pricey. We asked for sangria and they were delish. Glass of wine starts at $17 for an 8oz I believe.The food was well prepared.Each dish came with a tapas amount for each person to try.I did expect a little more dialogue from the wait staff. Explaining the dishes. The food was tasty. We did expect a bit more seafood vs. bread, potatoes, and salad, which would have satisfied the value for money. However, all that arrived was yummy. Again, as a meal finisher, the chefs choice I think a small desert bite or two should have been included.Hard to say if we will be back or not, certainly worth a try none the less”

Tsk tsk!They have a 24oz and a 32oz option, and the drink I got was not a 32oz size, but the price of one, not a big deal, but I would love to see an actual 32oz cup or better yet a 48oz like they have down south! I do love my drinks after all!Overall, this is a place I have been meaning to visit, and my first visit didn't disappoint for the most part, haha.Solid 12/10 wish they had better fountain drinks, but Lorenzo was a real superstar! ?Cheers, and see you again soon!Parking: Nice open lot, easy to park huge plaza!Kid-friendliness: Super cheerful and friendly!”

Prices are extremely reasonable.I see many complaining about the long wait times which I don't think is fair. This is a place to enjoy your time (and food) with friends. Darlise does not claim to be fast food nor even an everyday diner (says so on their website!). If a super quick meal is what you are after there are lots of great places around that will meet your needs. That bit of extra time is just the cost of a well constructed meal. I should note that even our 2 year old was quite content to wait and make use of the crayons provided!”

The churros were great too, not the typical ones with cinnamon sugar on the outside. They were filled with caramel sauce that wasnt too sweet. Overall, this is an amazing spot for tacos!

“Review is for customer service & True Believer IPA that I picked up. I didn't really experience the actual brewery as they were having an Oktoberfest event when I dropped by. Place was quite busy when I stopped by on a random Saturday. I was intending on stopping by for a flight/pint, but the brewery was having an Oktoberfest event, so I just picked up a 4-pack/bottle from their bottle shop. There was a long line since Oktoberfest goers had to get their pours from the same line that I was in. Even though they were busy, the owner (??) did stop by and gave me a quick lowdown on each bottle/can that I picked up. A lot of them seemed to be sours which I do not like, so I'm glad that he told me! Fridge was quite SMALL and dark, adjacent to the bar, so the lighting wasn't the best. Listing of the items could've been more descriptive, eg. IPA, Sour, etc. And you can't buy individual cans, so I had to pickup a 4-pack. I picked up a bottle of Wax Poetic and although fruity, it was a sour. :( I really like True Believer which is an IPA! Although it looks big from the exterior, the bar/bottle shop area is quite small in comparison. I'd definitely stop by again on a regular day.”

“You will not find better ramen in the area or even into the GTA. At least until you get to Mississauga and find another Crafty Ramen.Excellent food, friendly staff that will chat and make you feel at home both in Waterloo and Guelph, and fresh ingredients.The Gryphon is just rich enough without being unbalanced, the Korean chicken is to die for and the karage is the best I’ve had.You’re missing out if you don’t give them a shot.”

ABE ERB - Downtown Kitchener 151 Charles St W, Kitchener Brewpubs • $$
151 Charles St W, Kitchener

“From start to finish - planning our wedding at Abe Erb (Kitchener, Charles St location) was a very stress-free and wonderful experience. The manager, Tony, was very responsive to all our questions throughout the process, was involved in the planning and even helped serve meals the day of the event. He checked in with us occasionally on the wedding day to ensure we were happy and even helped clean up on the wedding day. He was friendly, organized and really helped alleviate any concerns we had throughout the entire process. The food and service was excellent on the wedding day and far exceeded our expectations. We had lots of room for all our guests to play games, dance or chat - whatever they wanted to do. We were also able to bring in any of our own decorations and table settings, as well as additions to the menu. We would highly recommend Abe Erb as a wedding or event venue!! Thank you to Tony and the team who all helped to make our wedding day fabulous!”

“Is it delicious? Yes. Are the prices reasonable? Yes. Was the restaurant clean in the service. Good? You bet.Overall, we had a lovely experience going to lunch at pierogi House. The one thing that I would knock it for is the variety of the menu. I know that they are diligently working to expand their menu, and I would definitely give this place a 4.5 star for now. Once they continue to grow their flavour profile, I think it would 100% be worthy of the full five stars.If you’re in the area, and you are looking for a great snack, this might be the place for you.Parking: Plenty of parking near the location”

“Our server, Jon, was absolutely wonderful! We he came to take our drinks order and was happy to take our food order right away when we mentioned we were a little tight on time. The food arrived very quickly, and was everything you’d hope for a breakfast diner.When our food arrived there was a confusion with the order (our confusion, not theirs) and it was the server who brought the food that explained. We had ordered what we thought was a smoked salmon bagel but it was a smoked salmon plate with a bagel on the side on a different plate. The server brought the three main plates out and was bringing the bagel in a separate trip so there was a moment of confusion around what exactly we ordered. We were very happy with the bagel salmon dish. Jon came by shortly after to confirm everything was okay because he heard there was a confusion.Even when the restaurant got busier just before we left Jon was still serving with a smile on his face.So all in all, all the staff were great, the food was fast and delicious, and Jon, in particular was a favourite!”

The wings were so tender that it pretty much ruined wings for me because now I know what great wings taste like. I live an hour away, but I'm tempted to just make the drive and go here often ! I got the fire + ice sauce and it was amazing. The drinks were pretty good too and this place is value for money.”

Taste Of Seoul 154 Victoria St S, Kitchener Korean • $$
154 Victoria St S, Kitchener

“I've written only one other review as its time consuming to write one up. We recently discovered this place (Dec 2023). Apparently they been around a while... I wish we knew of them sooner..It's sort of hidden inside an office building that appears to be empty. You wouldn't know its in there, but they are. Sometimes the best places are hidden Gems. So take your significant other on an adventure and find this place, you won't regret it. You can park at the vacant building next door (corner of Park and Victoria). there's also parking at the rear off of Park Street. If you are just going for take out, you can park right next to the building, right next to the sidewalk (it almost looks as if you're on the sidewalk). We been there 4 times in the last 4 months. Great, fresh and affordable food, the servers are very friendly and accommodating. We've been to a few places that serves Sushi in town, this is our favourite. Their salad is perfectly fresh, not a wilted leaf to be found, it looks like they carefully select and slice their veggies. I think they use a razor blade to slice the food as it looks perfect. There are a few tables inside for eat-in and a courtyard when its warmer. Don't be fooled by its small size or the older office/warehouse decor, it's definitely worth a sit down or even a take out.. So far we've been there for their Japanese cuisine, judging from its quality and appearance, I have no doubt the Korean cuisine is just as good... I've seen them serve it up while eating-in and it looks fantastic... I've had their Salmon Lover dinner and my wife orders their picnic combo.. Thankyou Taste of Seoul.”

We walked in at 10PM not knowing what time they closed (they close at 10pm) and the owner was happy to welcome us and take our order. He put on two patties on a freshly clean grill and served us like any other customer. Then he took out veggies that he already packed away and made our burger. I havent even taken a bite yet, but already giving a 5/5 review, because the customer service is incomparable. Plus the food looks delicious!! Go support this local restaurant!!!”

Both the service and the atmosphere were great as well. The live music was at a pleasant volume, and the pub was well-lit, unlike many others I have visited.

““Should a burrito fall apart” RATINGA friend of mine who's a chef at a Waterloo Local restaurant, had mentioned to me that burritos should never fall apart. Since then, I have found that many restaurants (especially those who call them burrito restaurants) often create burritos that are not wrapped probablyMy first Challenger, Burrito Boyz, located at 506 Wilson Ave close to Fairview Mall.The first picture is how it looked after taking my first bite. The second picture is when I'm finishing it. As you can see, the insides fell, but that's because these guys tried stuffing my burrito, thank you, but the wrap never fell apart. 5 out of 5 for these guys. Although if I had ordered it through Skip The Dish, and didn't get a fork, the raking would be 4 out of 5.”

“Can't rate on anything besides food as I've only ordered, but Ennio's seems to be the case of hit or miss depending on the day. My past couple experiences were great! Meatballs were nothing amazing, but pretty decent, Rustica was simple, but overall okay. Chicken was a little m e h. Annabella and the carbonara were great as well. But today was probably the worst experience. Gnocchi Con Gamberetti was extremely lemony. Overpowering all the other flavours, unfortunately. Was also missing the prosciutto in my dish, which just made me kinda sad haha. The Gnocchi itself would have been delicious had it not been for the overpowering lemon taste in the whole dish. Overall, more positive than negative here. But when it's an off day, it really stings to pay sometimes 30$ or more on a single dish that's just bordering on inedible due to flavour.”
