Oriental House Restaurant

I've mostly got delivery, since there's no delivery fee, and they're always on time, good food, good portions, I recommend the Cantonese chow mien

Great food, incredibly small portions.
The food is great but you better double up on an order for 1 because it wouldn't fill a toddler

We dropped in for lunch today. This restaurant has been a part of Elgin St for years. Always outstanding food and service! Today was excellent and a great price. Thank you!

Excellent Chinese food restaurant. Service is perfect! Has many regulars. Only issue you have to go a set of stairs to enter restaurant, not wheelchair friendly.

This is a dream location for any introverts.a quiet nook, right downtown, away from the noise!
Food is great, staff are friendly, prices are very reasonable! Great spot even just to warm up and have a snack!
It is downstairs however so not negotiable for those with complicated mobility issues.
Not sure about Parking on Elgin (Maybe city hall?)
Enjoy your visit.

C'est un endroit de rêve pour tous les introvertis.un coin tranquille, en plein centre-ville, loin du bruit!
La nourriture est excellente, le personnel est sympathique, les prix sont très raisonnables!
Super endroit même juste pour se réchauffer et prendre un petit goûter!
C'est en bas par escalier alirs pas négociable pour ceux qui ont des problèmes de mobilité compliqués.
Pas sûr du stationnement sur Elgin (peut-être l'hôtel de ville ?)
Aller Y!

The quality of the food leaves a lot to be desired, on top of being overpriced. Mixed veggies were a greasy tasteless slop, and the same with the tofu. You could get a better quality meal from the Chinese fast food place at the food court for a cheaper price. I have tried and reviewed many local restaurants, but this was unfortunately the worst one out of all of them.

Food taste is average. I paid $6 for extra tofu, there was a total of 7 small pieces.food was bland, not good, not bad.ingredients seemed soggy.we won't be back

First time customer, I ordered online, quick and friendly delivery service and the best, fresh tasting Chinese food that I’ve ordered. Everything was crisp and delicious. I’ll be a return customer for sure.

Decent Chinese food.
We ordered here because it was a block away and we didn’t want to pay delivery fees.

The food was decent. I would have preferred open ended egg roles, but the old school ones were good but not crispy enoughZ

Chicken so guy with pineapple sauce was a flashback to the 80s for me and was quite delicious.

Sweet and sour pork was as expected. Nothing out of the ordinary but tasted good and well priced.

The chow Mein was a hit with most, and for the money, was a large order.

They were fast and courteous for pickup.

Only issue I encountered was the website for ordering never seems to work, and when I called l, the only person available to take orders had a strong language barrier and kept repeating that they didn’t know how to work the computer. Took longer to place the order on the phone than it did to eat our food.

Having moved from Montreal back to hometown Ottawa to say I’m shocked at the poor quality of catonese in this city is a gross understatement. And that goes for sushi, and Mexican too! After trying 5 now including Oriental House. What the hell Ottawa! You call that Gen Tao are you kidding me it was not crispy it was more like soft saggy deep fried rubbery bland chicken grizzle. Ive had better Gen Tao at the foodcourts. So disappointed after shelling out $75 on a seniors pension the rice was bland, the egg rolls over done and not even filled to capacity for $2.00 a pop, garlic spare ribs fatty, sweet sour chicken balls hard over fried. Never again will I waste money on Chinese food here. I bought for 3 it was unedible for 2. I ate it not to waste my money.

Was visiting my cousin and his wife who were visiting Ottawa and staying at The Business Inn round the corner. Wanted something for lunch which wasn’t burger or other greasy food. Stumbled upon this restaurant and was decently surprised.

Me and my wife always order from this place as we live close, delivery is quick and portions are well worth what you pay for. Thier driver is always kind, and happy to see us.we are always happy to see him as well. Whenever we order from somewhere else we regret it and wish we could have had Oriental house.

I think I found myself my favorite Chinese restaurant in Ottawa. Just yum, can't write more for I fear I'll drown in my own saliva

Great sizing for the price, I was really satisfied that I got a good portion for the price. I had more than enough for leftovers and it was still hella tasty the next day. The Singapore noodles were delicious. I also got the Salt Pepper Shrimp and Squid asking for no squid and they followed perfectly. It wasn’t too salty either which is something I was afraid of. I would say the Chicken Fried Rice was kinda dry but still very much edible. Will definitely be going back!:)

Claims to open at 11: 00 AM but every time we try to order for lunches no answers the telephone. We have tried now on 5 separate ocassions, no voice mail either.

Oriental House serves fresh food with no msg. Very good and tasty food. Great customer service. Very polite. Reasonable prices. If you haven't tried Oriental House, you should give them a try. May God Bless the staff and the owners. All the best. Cheers.

Their combos are so big, and we end up having 2 meals. No excessive oil, overly sweet, crazy msg addition or cheap out chicken balls with dough like many other places. Prompt delivery since service from the house.
I will be happy to support them again in the future

This was one of the best chinese food I had in a long time really good.great service. Fast delivery. Will for sure order again. Thank you! It's a must try

Best taste hands-down! Everything was full of flavor and didn't have that watered down taste like other places.

Quick delivery and order was still hot at our door!

Definitely my new go to!

Delicious food! Always very hot and fresh when I get it. The best selection for combo plates (and tons of food included). I love the C6 combo plate and the Lover's Delight combo! Really good chicken balls and chicken fried rice. Just got the chicken wings for the first time and omg they were heaven! Our fav go to spot for Chinese! Also, the friendliest staff! You can't go wrong!

This place is unbelievable, Their prices should be double. The beef and 3 kinds of mushrooms is amazing, the mushrooms are like steak. General Tao chicken tender. Tofu tender, But make no mistake it's chicken. Portions very good your order will have weight to it. In the Ottawa area this is the best oriental cuisine for a 500 miles.

Inexpensive, and the staff is very friendly. Great spot, if you're not looking for anything fancy.

Have never eaten in but have recently tried takeout on two occassions and both times very disappointed. Customers that praise the Restaurant have Obviously not eaten elsewhere.
Bland and boring.

Was searching for a great Chinese restaurant from a long time now and finally found it! The prices and the food were mind blowing. 2 plates and 2 pops for 35$. You can't beat that! They even give us a little chocolate treat with our furtune cookie and mint!

Great price, very friendly staff. The waitress was super attentive and ready when we needed her. She was patient while we finished our food. The atmosphere was nice, and clean. Overall a great experience. We will be back.

Best szechuan chicken I'm the city
Spring rolls are delicious. We always order extra to take home.

Been ordering from these folks for almost 20 years. Tried others, but I just love these guys and their food. LIFER!

Very bland. I opted for special foo young and beef satay but both dishes were fairly tasteless. Quality was fine but not worth the calories. Really disappointing. I was in Ottawa on business, hence the meal was covered by employer so it was free. It was just really disappointing.

Attentive & friendly staff & good food. Found this place while searching for Chinese food near our hotel. The staff greeting us are very all friendly & attentive. We ordered wonton soup, lemon chicken & egg fu yong plus Chinese tea. Food is really good & fresh, & the chef is kind enough to serve the lemon sauce & the batter-fried chicken separately - so that they won't be soggy after awhile - good thinking! The waitress is also kind enough to inform us the people here likes to go their egg fu yong with gravy (it's a western thing she told us) & it is up to us whether we want gravy too (at that point she already brought out a bowl of gravy in case we want it - which we politely decline). Rice portion is huge too! Will definitely come here again if we're visiting Ottawa again! Highly recommended!

I ordered a deep fried tofu. It honestly tasted like water and the texture was just weird. The sauce that came with my vegetables had absolutely no taste. I dont know if it was a bad night for the restaurant but based on this I dont think I will order again.

Absolutely dissatisfied. I used to ordered from Oriental House 8 years ago. Back in town and what a disappointment. Rice burned. Sauce for chicken ball water down. The chicken in the almond guyding was not looking good at all. The egg roll no taste and saggy. Never again. This was the 3 times we have ordered and always disappointed. It used to be amazing. What happen.

Decent food, always hot, and decent service. A great option when its late and you dont want to cook. I love the private basement location so i can really relax after a long day at work.

This is Canadian/Chinese food, it was good.not outstanding. Ironic since the food is better suited for take out than fine dining but the surroundings are better than Chinatown restaurants

I ordered the food. Then the food was brought to me. I put it in my face. I enjoyed. 4/5 would recommend.
