Yangtze

I have come here many times and almost always order the combination dinners which usually include spring rolls, soup, fried rice and a couple of entrees. The portions are pretty huge. 3 of us shared a dinner for 2. However, lately the quality of the food has gone down a bit. The chicken was very salty this time around and the beef didn't taste too fresh. I'm still willing to go back and give them another chance!

Great dim sum place, has all you could want, good service, good food and good price!

If you go with a big group check your bill. The owner(miserable looking lady owner at the cash) likes to make mistakes on the bill. It's seems she likes to add an extra beer etc. It's happen to me twice. So watch your bill. Other than that the food is good.

I have been going to Yangtze since I was a kid and I still go there at least twice a week. The food has always been excellent! The waiters are friendly and have a great sense of humour.

They update their specials frequently but I always order the same thing and I always get the same friendly service.

This restaurant has seen better days, as evident from reviews below. Best time is mid-afternoon, before the dinner rush. If it's packed, don't go. Service is always uneven; they treat regulars a lot better than unknowns.

Food is in the better tier, though; almost worth the price. They have their specialties, but some common items are found better nearby. Sad that at their projected quality level, they still charge for tea (a relic procedure from the 80s).

I will say that their eggplant is probably the best in town...

Excellent value for the money. It is by far the best chinese restaurant in Ottawa.

Luckily I made a reservation for me and 3 friends on new years eve as it was packed! We were ushered to our table immediately. Service was quick yet brisk, not the friendliest wait staff.
However, the food was absolutely delicious, as it always it.
Veggies are always fresh and the sauces are fresh and light. Nothing is over-done or tastes like it came from a can, box or bag.
Prices can be expensive, but I say the food is worth it!

Over-rated restaurant with cockroaches in the bathroom! Rather go to Mekong or Fuli Wa house down the road- cleaner with better food.

The restaurant was good, but the service needs improving. We reserved a spot but they bumped us because the people that bumped us bribed the maitre d' (and they actually told us that!) After about 20 minutes, we finally got seated. The food was okay, except that the beef was a little overcooked. We were eating when a waiter came along and just gave us the bill without us telling her to. So we kept on eating and ignored the bill, and after a while, the waiter came again and asked us if the bill is ready. We were almost finished eating, so I paid the bill. They didn't even give us desserts or fortune cookies like they gave to other guests. I gave them the exact amout with NO TIP because they didn't deserve it.

My wife and I visited Yangtze restaurant to enjoy some Chinese food. The food was not great as we had been told. We ordered 2 diet cokes which they brought in a tiny glass. When we asked if they sold pop in a can they said they did. So we ordered that and the waitress opened the 2 cans of pop and poured them into our glass. We assumed that she would leave the cans on the table but started to walk away with them. So I asked her what she was doing and she told me that they sold the pop by the glass....I asked, then why did they bring out the can and she told me that she did that just so that we could see that the pop was not a fountain drink???? We address this with the owners daughter and was told that we were free to eat elsewhere if we wanted to...which we did. We will NEVER eat there again. There is a place across the street ( Chun sing) or something like that..the food is good and the service is great.
