Mikey's Eatery - Waterloo

This place has become a staple for me since I worked at RIM where I used to go once a week. Now I arrange all of my appointments so I can drop by there for lunch on the way home. Even my wife has come to love the food here.It is very basic style of chinese food but TONS of flavor in it. My standard is chow mein noodle with sesame chicken. Great thing about this place is you don't ever get food that has been sitting for a long time. They reduce the amount of food cooked during slow times and if your favourite isn't there it takes less than 5 minutes to get what you want cooked fresh.This is a family business where everyone is very friendly and willing to help.

The lunch combos are good for your wallet and your stomach. I love when I come in just as they pour out fresh food for their combo selection. When I'm short on time but still want to pretend I'm eating healthy I get the lunch combo with the mixed veggies (and let's pretend the sesame chicken is healthy, okay? It's delicious!) and then I can easily turn it into two meals.

Cafeteria style chinese food, you get a very large takeout container and they pack it completely full of your choice of food. Pretty standard stuff, but it's all tasty and hot. Chow Mein noodles, fried rice, sesame chicken, chicken balls, all the standard stuff.Great price though, clean, conveniently close to my work. I'd recommend it to friends.Not much for eating in though, it's pretty basic. I'm assuming it's crazy busy around lunch time, but at 8pm there was only two other people there.

If you're into sweet meat, give this place a tryTheir sesame chicken is out of this world.

The sesame chicken here is the bomb! Me and my boyfriend came here after going to the gym and we were HUNGRY.
