Really good food here. Prices are good too. I was honestly surprised the food was this good. Even just a simple green bean dish was so tasty. And they are open late! They also have a lunch menu until 5pm.Recommendations: steamed pork belly and preserved veggies Stir fried Green beans with shredded pork sliced beef with spicy mixed sauceThe steamed pork belly is by far my favourite. Close second is the green beans and... View all feedback.

I have been here a couple of times now because I like to give a restaurant a fair chance at making delicious food, but Waterloo Star has failed every time I have gone. I could be ordering the wrong dishes, but even if I am the food is always super greasy, it's usually a long wait to get your order in, and it's pricey compared to what else you can get.Once you order your food it does come really fast (which is the only good thing at this restaurant). You will be waiting a while to be served so make sure you flag the waitress down to come serve you. The servers are really nice so you won't have a problem there.Overall though, I wouldn't come here. You can find cheaper, more delicious, less greasy food somewhere else. I would recommend SOGO if you want great Chinese food.
As much as I enjoy the food at this restaurant, I've been short changed by their staff on several occasions. Last night, I ordered a noodle dish for takeaway that was 7.49, and it should come out to 8.46 with taxes in. Usually they short change me by 5 cents (they don't know how to understand the rounding rules), but this time I paid $20 cash and only got $11 in change.Yes, food is authentic, quick and fresh, but I prefer not to feel cheated when eating my food.
Well, maybe we just picked the right dishes - but oh boy were they ever delicious! Based on the reviews we tried the Xin Jiang chicken which apparently is actually called Dapanji and translates to Big Plate Chicken. Yes!~! When the platter (not plate - platter) arrived - OMG there must have been an entire chicken on it! It is one of the delicious chicken dishes we have ever enjoyed and there was a full take out box to take home. I assumed they made an error and ordered the large size, but no, on our bill we were charged 11.95 for the dish. Unbelievable!! We also ordered the eggplant with garlic sauce. I loved every bite and it was hard to stay away from it. My partner found it just a little sweet being used to a spicier and more savory eggplant dish. Still it was a really great dish. I highly recommend trying this place, especially if you are getting the Xin Jiang Chicken- What fantastic flavor in this dish! Service is excellent - prompt and very attentive wait staff. Decor is casual. We are not Chinese and don't speak the language and we had no problems at all with the service. This could easily become one of our favorite places.
The beef noodle soup with hand-shaved noodles is outstanding. The food is prepared rapidly. Although it tends to be quite busy, tables are cleared quickly. It's a great spot for authentic flavors.
This is my favorite spot in the plaza, although I can't deny that some of the negative reviews have a point. Sogo serves some of the most authentic Chinese cuisine around. The beef noodle soup is a standout, and I’m quite fond of the lamb with soaked bread soup as well. However, if you're not familiar with Chinese language or these specific dishes, you might find it doesn't meet your expectations. The restaurant seems to primarily attract a Chinese clientele. The interior is a bit dark and cluttered, and it's definitely not the cleanest place. Despite these shortcomings, I would be dishonest if I didn’t give Sogo a full five stars. If you're looking for a hearty, homemade taste of China rather than the typical shiny, "fake" Chinese food you usually encounter, this is definitely the place to go.
