Charlie Chan - Ottawa, Ontario

So sad that Charlie Chan used to be the best Chinese food in town. I ordered a few items for the first time in years and I was more than disappointed. The rice was soggy and greasy and the chicken sou guy had been pre cooked and deep fried ... again. I don’t think hey season the chicken or the coating. The gravy with the sou guy was also full of grease and tasteless. I will not order from there again Read more

I ordered combo plate #8. Everything was delicious. Nice to get chicken fried that still has egg in it. The only disappointment would be that the egg rolls are smaller and expensive at $2.65 each. Most other places are around $2.00

I totally agree with Jessi Sharp and others. We’ve gotten egg rolls here for quite sometime. But the recent purchase of (2) dozen frozen open end egg rolls were a DISAPPOINTMENT. Was wondering why the box was sagging, it wasn’t as packed as it used to. Then I found out ... the egg rolls have shrunk, not filled like it used to, and they’ve increased the price. It’s ok to increase the price but maintain the original recipe and size of it. This will just discourage clients to come back. I wouldn’t mind paying more for a decent and satisfying egg rolls. Now I could say… I will stick to Asia Wok (they also sell half cooked so you can freeze it if need to pack for a trip) from now on and the Golden Palace if I’ll be around Carling ave. Read more

Everyone suggested Charlie Chans egg rolls. Highly unimpressed at our entire order. The general Tso was not spicy. The garlic spare ribs were bland. Actually everything we ordered kinda tasted the same. Like it was all freezer burnt & kept in the same containers. I couldn’t finish my food at all. The ... egg rolls were “open ended” but not filled to the end, kinda half open half closed, and these come NO WHERE close to the flavours of Ruby Inn or Golden Palace. The only thing that got two stars here was the chicken balls. They were ok, but not worth another order from this place. Hopefully our move to Orléans will bring us better egg rolls elsewhere.

I really like their Szechuan beef, it's packed with spice and various fresh veggies. It's slightly salty so you would have to eat it with rice or something on the side. Garden shrimp is good too. Hubby really likes their egg roll and butterfly shrimp. Their butterfly shrimp has a slice ... of bacon wrapped together in the egg batter. Read more
