Xiang Zi - Ottawa

Tasty food. friendly and effecient service. The server here is really kind and she won't keep you waiting for a long time. This is really important for a restaurant. In many other restaurants the server always likes to talk too much with customers maybe because they think it's a kind of good service. I'd say I go to a restaurant not for making friend and chatting with every customer is very inefficient. I just want to get all my food in the shortest time. And when I ask for something it won't take half an hour to just get some water. That's the good service. <br/ <br/ I know that's irrelevant with this restaurant. I just want to say it out of loud too much.hahaha.

It was cold outside -6C), but it was steamy inside literally) as we walked in past the glass wall where you can see your steam buns and dumplings being made.  We ordered the mixed shrimp and beef steam buns with a couple sides of Chinese pickled cabbage kimchi) and tea.  Perfect meal that was satisfying.

Great authentic northern Chinese food, beautiful presentation, awesome flavour!

Amazing! Everything, from the wonton soup to the spicy noodles, everything was pleasantly surprising and very tasty.

We went to check out Xiang Zi because their Wonton Soup won the Citizen's Soup of the year. Well the dumplings in the soup were superb I found the broth to be lacking any depth and a bit bland. All the baozi (both fried and steamed) we tried were delicious and made to order. The service was friendly and welcoming but rather slow lunch during a week day. Good value for money, will definitely be returning.
