Yang Sheng Restaurant - Ottawa

For me, I go to this place for one specific meal: A nice big bowl of congee and some bbq pork buns. It is the perfect comfort food for brunch on a cold day.<br/ <br/ What I love about this place is that it almost has a diner atmosphere. The staff are chatting and working, people are just casually eating. So it's not for everyone, or for a romantic date, but it is perfect if you're just relaxing and enjoying a meal by yourself.<br/ <br/ Food: 7.5/10<br/ Loner Rating: 10/10<br/ Atmosphere: 8/10<br/ Location: 7/10

This might have been the best Chinese take out experience I've ever had (I have bad luck with Chinese take out usually). Got the steamed BBQ pork buns (ah-maz-ing not too sweet, good meat, a little on the small side though), chicken dumplings (delicious), two orders of rice, spring rolls (yum and steaming hot), and got extra fortune cookies. Like I said, I always have something go wrong with Chinese take out, but this place got it right. So happy I live just down the street. Hard not to get the steamed buns often

Ordered from skipthedishes and despite the driver getting a bit lost, the food came hot and the sesame balls blew me away. I'm going to order from them again.

An Ottawa landmark, but not for germ-a-phobes seeking a spotless dining experience.. One dish, Won Ton Soup with BBQ duck. Simple, delicious, quick and filling. Maybe not the finest choice of quality ingredients, but the flavours are authentic and the BBQ duck is great. Many of the dishes have the flavour only achievable with a well used and dirty wok.

It is what it is giant menu, giant servings low prices and late night dining. NOT haute cuisine. Students love it.. This restaurant has been feeding Ottawa a long long time and stays open late it can look a bit like the bar scene in star wars at 1 am , or an Edward Hopper diner maybe. The food can be inconsistent depending who is cooking and can arrive at a variety of times for the same reason. The congee is great, the fried noodle dishes are fine, soups are good and I have actually had a whole fish or two I was pretty happy to have eaten. BB sauce things especially eggplant dishes tend to be okay by me. Sometimes the sauces on your veggies or shrimp is pr etty gluey with cornstarch , but hey! you did not come for the sophisticated and subtle did you?There is a barbeque window that sells what they make so you can be sure to get hot roast duck, pork etcetera. They can always handle a crowd arriving unannounced. When selecting a place to sit avoid the south east table in the front of house it is too close to the bathroom. Warts and all, and nearly forty years later I still duck in here for a bite with some regularity. The owner is a fine person,<br/ .
