Food is ok but worst service ever in any Asian restaurant I had. I wish i Could give 0 starts to service. Staff is rude and not clear at all in communication. They made me wait 20 mins saying it will take 2 mins. Overall horrible customer service and horrible experience. I recommend many other Asian restaurants in waterloo but not King Tin if you dont want ti waste your time and experience horrible service. Very very very disappointed.

My wife and I were looking for a place to have a good coffee while walking around Blue Mountain's.We found Royal Majsty Espresso Bar Bakery store and we were delighted.We were assisted by Augusto. He was very polite, friendly and helpful. He also showed us that he cares about the customers and the store.The capuchinos that we ordered were simply delicious and well made.We were lucky that while we were drinking our coffees, Augusto brought out a tray with fresh cooked cookies ?.We bought two. They were so good that we had to buy more. I son loved them.The store had a great atmosphere and very well maintained.Fully recommended and special thanks to Augusto for his amazing service/attention ???????Parking: The parking was difficult due to the small size of the parking lot which is shared with the building visitors.There's no street parking available.We had yo wait until someone left.

As someone who's been going here since 2018, I have to say it's one of the better Chinese places in the KW area. They serve some very authentic Chinese cuisine, and it's done right. Their main dishes always look attractive, you can clearly tell the ingredients they use are fresh. They're very generous on portions too, I would describe the serving size as massive actually. One dish can absolutely fill an empty stomach. And best of all, their dishes have a strong rich wok-fired taste which I consider to be the Holy Grail for premium Chinese cuisine; many Chinese places lack this characteristic sadly.However before ordering, there are a few things and suggestions I have for you. First of all, skip the lunch buffet, and opt to dine-in instead of delivery. Second of all, you generally cannot go wrong with the more traditional or tried-and-true dishes (e.g. Beef & Chinese Broccoli, Kung Pao Chicken, etc). Third of all, their fried noodle dishes can sometimes be a bit too oily. Fourth of all, their dim sum is alright but the fried stuff are also very oily and use somewhat unconventional fillings. And lastly, just don't order anything not fresh (e.g. frozen duck, buffet menu).I have barely explored most of their dishes, but so far Beef & Chinese Broccoli is my top favorite. It's an easy recommendation. I also love their Sweet and Sour Pork, this one's especially full of that wok-fired flame taste. Their Pineapple Fried Rice, which is actually served in a pineapple (!!!), is pretty decent too, though somewhat on the plain side.One of my previous favorites from King Tin was their Cantonese Chow Mein, but beware it has the potential to get quite oily, and because of the variety of proteins and veggies some ingredients are not always that fresh. Stil worth trying though.One dish I would personally steer away from is their Eggplant with Garlic and Chillies. The flavor just didn't seem quite right, a bit too saturated in garlicky tones.Honestly, there are so much more dishes this restaurant offers, I would love to take the time to explore them all.Folks, this is definitely a place worth trying. I would highly recommend dining here and trying out those dishes I've mentioned. As long as you order something fresh from the menu, your taste buds are gonna be in for a treat!

My family and I have been going to King Tin for over 20 years, it's a special place to us. Unfortunately our latest experience was less than ideal.We were seated. Two other tables were already there and already had their food. We sat for about 15 minutes without any service, and we had to flag someone down in order to get a menu. They proceeded to service the other two tables while ignoring/forgetting about us for an additional 20 minutes. Still no tea, no serveware for one of us. They offered 10% off after I complained, but they still didn't even bring us the rice we ordered. Honestly not a great day.

Hot sauce was very salty

Good was good but used to be better. Dim sum items were good. Hot and sour was far more spicy than I was expecting (they used to have the best I’ve ever tried) restaurant was empty on a Friday night for takeaway. Not sure I’d give it another go.
We saw this place on a Facebook and and thought we would give it a try.They have a lunch special Monday to Friday all you can eat for $15. That's hard to come across nowadays.They do have limited selection, But all the food is fresh and hot. Crispy egg rolls and chicken wings, hot and saucy sweet and sour pork. The chicken vegetables were cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist.I wasn't a fan of the curry noodles, but the regular noodles were good.It was really cold in the dining room, so be prepared to wear your jacket.7.8/10 .... I definitely recommend! For the price is a great deal.

Every time i go there, its always a 50/50 that they get my food right, and when i tried to tell the staff one time, they told me thats what i ordered and that i should eat it even though it wasn't what i ordered, went in today and get my usual which is flat rice noodle with beef, they got the order wrong, the noodles were soaked in a bowl of sauce, it was so much, i didnt even bother saying anything because they would say the same thing to me as they did last time, definitely wont be coming here anymore.

Had dim sum here. Food is not bad, dark soy overly used. Basically in everything, not sure if that's a regional issue with local client preference, or kitchen staff regional cooking style. Some dishes have not kept up with more modern presentations, but not a bad thing. Haven't seen a full sized lo mai gai in 20 years.
