First time here, Panini and soup was unreal. Like everyone else it's a little hard to find. When you go in the lobby your auto instinct is to take the elevators to the right, but no go left and you will see the sign and the stairs right beside. Busy place to do you know it's good.

Love this shop!

The best lunch place in Ottawa! Daily lunch specials like your mom makes. Delicious home baked pastries and cookies. And great coffee and tea. And, for catering, you cannot find better quality food for the price.

Amazing hidden spot, everything fresh , the young lady was very friendly and knew what she was doing, definitely be back.

Amazing cafe with delicious meals! My favourite are the wraps which are jam packed with flavour and are very generous with the chicken and proteins. Highly recommend, great lunch spot.

Who would have guessed! Fantastic home cooked Korean food in an office complex cafe. Super reasonable prices, fresh, and authentic. Give it a try!

This office building cafeteria sells Korean food in addition to the usual cafeteria offerings of sandwiches, salads, etc. I really wanted the beef bulgogi, but it had an ingredient in it that I can't eat, so I got the Chicken Katsu plate. It came with rice, coleslaw and a fried dumpling. Serving size is not large, but good enough for lunch. The chicken was crunchy despite being in a warming tray. The Korean food is similar to that you would get at Korean fast food chains like KORYO Korean BBQ and Kim Chi Korean Delight. So refreshing to see some more variety and cultural diversity in office building cafeterias!

Surprisingly really good! Recommend the Korean Bowl and the Katsu Plate. The Ramen is nothing to be excited about unfortunately

This is Whatta Sandwich's second location. Their first is downtown, on Metcalfe. This second location is on the ground level of an office building. They have limited hours and are not open on the weekends. They serve mostly the workers in the building and in the other buildings in the complex. There is limited free visitor parking at the front of the complex, which is to your left as soon as you enter (Whatta Sandwich is to your right). The time limit is 2 hours. There is paid parking owned by Indigo Parking for the office workers or if the visitors' lot is full. Whatta Sandwich sells mostly sandwiches, soups, salads and typical office cafeteria food. However, they also sell Korean food!! I had my heart set on the Bibimbap but discovered that the beef bulgogi has sesame seeds in it. Actually, most of their items were covered in sesame seeds such as their Japchae and their chunks of fried chicken in sauce. So the only Korean item I could have was the Katsu plate. I had the choice of chicken or pork and I chose the former. For $11.99 it comes with white rice, coleslaw and one deep fried dumpling. The chicken cutlet was lean chicken breast, and even though it was sitting in a warming tray, it was still pretty crispy. The Katsu sauce was tasty and not excessive in quantity. The rice was well cooked and had a nice texture. It wasn't too dry nor too mushy. The dumpling was good. It had ground meat and cabbage inside (I think it was ground chicken). The coleslaw was vinegar based, which I prefer to the mayo based ones. It was sweet and sour and went well with the meal. Service was to the point and efficient. Food was great for what is essentially an office cafeteria. It's comparable to food court Korean places like KORYO Korean BBQ and Kim Chi Korean Delight. I love finding little hidden places like this :)

Delicious breakfast at a very reasonable price. Healthy lunch options. Good service. He gave me a piece of bacon for my dog while she waited patiently outside.

The staff is awesome, always friendly and helpful. The newly reno'd interior is nice and homey, with several TVs and different seating options.
The daily specials are great - now that they're posting pictures of them on the web, you can make your choice beforehand. But get there early, or they may run out of what you want!
If you don't want a full meal but find your paper-bag-sandwich boring, I highly recommend the soups. Another good "snack" is a grilled cheese - spiced up with some spicy salami, or whatever other deli meat (and option of cheeses) you want!
And who doesn't want a slice of fresh-baked pizza on TGIF...? Several varieties to choose from.
I just wish they were open later! :-)
