A must visit in the Waterloo area! Very comforting food with fresh ingredients. A new location that is a must visit for a delicious restaurant with a home cook feel. The food was amazing! I got the short ribs and I HIGHLY recommend. The ribs with the combination of the egg and rice was so flavourful and worked really well together. We also tried the beef stew and the meat was tender and the stew was rich and flavourful, a perfect pair with the rice.The restaurant is decorated really nicely inside and is very welcoming and cozy. It’s a great location to sit down and enjoy really good food. The owner is very kind, super welcoming and really enjoys what she does.

Really enjoyed our meal here! A super low key restaurant that opened very recently. The food was absolutely delicious! We got the beef stew and the short ribs - both were super tender with amazing flavour. The dish came with egg and cauliflower on the side, and the egg was insanely delicious. We absolutely cleaned our plates!The restaurant is very well decorated in a fashion I haven't ever seen in Waterloo, and just gives off a warm and cozy vibe. The owner is also really sweet and kind, and made us feel very welcome! Will definitely be a spot we'll return to! Ignore the poor reviews, it seems someone didn't realize they don't offer delivery (considering they only opened this week), and got all their friends to leave 1 star reviews.

The best weekly schedule food plan I have ever had, definitely recommend!!!

I have tried dishes as well as combo, I love either one, if you have a small appetite then combo is the one to go. Combo has several ingredients come together. I read some reviews mentioning that it’s pricy. If you give a try you will know that the food quality worth the price. As a Chinese I think the flavor is authentic and worth of trying.

Pay no attention to the bad reviews. They probably went to the wrong restaurant, because this place is amazing. The food is definitely worth the wait, and the portions are HUGE! We were given some delicious soup while we waited, and some delicious fruit for dessert. Their steak dish was so tender, and their rice dishes were savoury. The interior is super warm and cozy, and the staff is friendly so this restaurant has a homey vibe. Great place to visit with friends, a date, and family. 100% recommended.

Wonderful atmosphere, service, and food! The food wasn’t as pricey as I expected from other reviews. The person who served us was very friendly, and gave us free dessert on the house (a new recipe she was trying out)!I got the shrimp & fish salad and found it really tasty, filling, and healthy/nutritious!I hope you give it a try—honestly think this place deserves a higher rating. :)

Amazing food that tastes like home! All staffs are so nice and friendly! Perfect for small group gathering:)

I’be been ordering my meal plans here for while. They are good quality made. I really liked the private chef style that I get something new to try and don’t need to think about it, and the food are made with quality ingredients. I also like the restaurant are providing something special like crabs, seafood things like that. I get the point that other people think the taste is not good. I agree the taste may not be the best all the time comparing to other restaurants, and sometimes I found the soups to be too salty to me. However, I’m not that type of people plenty of time to find the best restaurant for every dish everyday. I’m that type of people that don’t have time to cook quality dishes, but wanted to get that kind of quality dishes with healthy ingredients, and the chef is willing to pick the dish for me. That’s saving a LOT of my time for looking for restaurants, looking for new dishes, looking for fine quality ingredients. And if you buy the meal plans, they are fair priced since I know the price of quality food if you really care about healthiness. And those special dishes, i get that they are more costly if you compare the prices with those in Toronto, but I’m a realistic person realizing I need to drive 1.5hrs all the way to either Toronto or Missisagua to get them. I’m a busy person that don’t have that much time anymore, and 1.5hrs are way valuable than the little overhead that this restaurant is added to those special dishes. The other restaurants, well, some of them may taste better, but they did that by adding a lot of ingredients that’s not healthy at all. Some of them cover the fact that they use less fresh ingredients by putting too much flavors. I need healthy food for daily nutrition. This is the exactly the restaurant I need. Speaking of time, I texted the chef every time 1hr before I need the meal plan to be prepared. They are usually ready when I get there.If the don’t, the chef would provide snacks for me while I’m waiting, and I liked these little surprises. But I do hope the restaurants can further reduce the cost and reduce the price of the dishes once everything is more settled.

The seafood is pretty fresh and service is nice. I really like the marinade sauce for raw crab and shrimp.

Great food with decent portions at an affordable price. I got the braised beef and it came with soup, rice, and egg.
