The Rideau Restaurant - Ottawa, Ontario

We went to this delicious restaurant several times now. What a wonderful surprise to find authentic Chinese food in Kanata! Reading some of the other reviews saying the plum sauce was bad.. really?! Did you even try the actual Szechuan specialties or real Chinese/Hong Kong style food or just egg rolls ... and Chop Suey i.e. the fake Canadian take out junk? Ok forget the other reviews!! And order something off the menu that is not the typical take out stuff! The food is served piping hot, fresh, quickly and friendly! It's a joy to go here and enjoy every bite!! The decor could use a bit of an update but still amazing food and service. Read more

Authentic Cantonese food! We went to New Queen, Ting’s and they could not compare in terms of authenticity and quality. Takeout is super fast. They’re also on DoorDash. The family dinners are great value. We had the dinner for six and liked the egg rolls, fried rice, imperial guy ding. We usually ... get: - black bean noodles (literally the only restaurant in the area that does it the authentic way) -pepper salt shrimp without shell (you have to request this) - breaded fish casserole with iceberg lettuce and tofu - mapo tofu - open ended egg rolls - black pepper beef Read more

The service was really great. We were lucky meet a wonderful lady that she reminded and introduced us about the meals before our order. I would like to give five stars for service and the price. I would give three stars for the meals. The fried rice was too wet ... and the beef fried noodle was not enough flavour. The chicken balls were really not recommended... 🤢the pork ribs were not bad. 👍🏻 Read more

The restaurant is clean and hygienic that giving customers a comfortable environment. However, there is a slight gap between the dishes and the authentic Cantonese cuisine. Additionally, there's a waiter's attitude wasn't very good. Overall feel good, affordable.

This is one of the go to Chinese restaurants in Kanata! It doesn’t seem they use lots of MSG. You may find the flavour a bit blend compared other Chinese restaurants, but believe me their foods are great!! Servers were very friendly as well :)
