King Tin Restaurant - Waterloo, Ontario

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 😉😎🤟🏻🍁🇨🇦 Read more

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! Read more

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. Read more

Been coming here for years for dim sum and dinner. Food is consistently good, and usually pretty quick. Employees are friendly, and attentive. Dim sum is order off a list as opposed to pushing the cart but food still comes hot and quickly. Always a satisfying meal

BEWARE! My entire order was a disappointing rip off! I called the restaurant before I made my order and specifically asked if the Peking Duck was a whole duck, since it costs $50 (plus tax). I was told that it was. Unfortunately, what I received was a few pieces of duck ... and massive amounts of fat and skin. Take a look at the pictures. I kept looking for a third container where the rest of the duck must be. There was a small container with bean sprouts with a little duck meat mixed in. I have roasted whole ducks before. I repeat, I, myself have personally cooked whole ducks more than a few times. There is no way what I received was an entire duck. This just feels like dishonest service. Furthermore, the other dishes ordered were equally disappointing. About the fried noodles and sliced beef: the beef tasted okay, but we didn't bother eating the noodles as they were oily and the texture was unpleasant. The special fried rice was soggy and disgusting. It looked like white rice with some meat, vegetables and some sort of sauce thrown on top. It was a mess and not tasty at all. Again, look at the picture. Overall, a very, very disappointing experience. Even more so because this was the first time we tried King Tin. I am sorry I didn't try another restaurant instead.
