" I don’t usually write reviews, but after my last visit, I felt compelled to share! Cafe Orient serves the most wonderful Hong Kong-style dishes that remind me of home. The food was fresh and bursting with flavor. I especially loved their fried rice with chicken and the soup was comforting. The ambiance is casual and laid-back, perfect for a relaxed dining experience with friends. Looking forward to returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visit Cafe Orient frequently, and I've tried many dishes, but the dim sum is what keeps bringing me back! The flavors are consistently good, and I get a warm feeling as I reminisce about my visits to Hong Kong. There are a few items that are oily, but overall, the food quality cannot be denied. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cafe Orient offers a slice of Hong Kong right in Ottawa. Their menu is vast, including everything from noodles to rice dishes. I tried their Shanghai dumplings and absolutely loved them; they were juicy and paired well with soy sauce. The atmosphere is quiet, which is great if you're looking for a place to unwind. Definitely coming back to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Cafe Orient last week and I'll definitely be returning! The variety of dishes offered is impressive, and everything I tried was flavorful. The dim sum was quite possibly the best I've had outside of Hong Kong. I particularly loved the pork dumplings and the sticky rice with lotus leaves. The servers were attentive, and the cozy ambiance made it a perfect spot for dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who missed home-cooked Cantonese food, Cafe Orient has been my go-to restaurant. The baked rice and milk tea feels like a hug in a bowl. I sometimes find it a bit greasy, but the flavors always bring me back. The staff treat you like family, which is an added bonus. I recommend the clay pot rice; it's simply delightful! " (*Curated Review*)

" I heard so much about Cafe Orient and finally decided to try it. The food is fantastic! The flavors are authentic, and it felt like eating back home in Hong Kong. The service was quick and courteous. I tried the fried rice noodles and the soup, both of which were superb. Will definitely be back for more. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
