Cypress Garden

Best egg rolls and General tao’s chicken in town
Highly recommend

A part of my late-​night delivery rotation, I’ve never actually stepped inside their restaurant so this review is just for their delivery service.
The food, in my opinion is good. However if you were looking for more authentic Chinese, you’ll be disappointed. It more resembles food court Chinese food. Sure, it’s greasy but it totally fills any late cravings. It’s also ridiculously cheap for the huge portions, which is always a plus.
Delivery doesn’t take that long either, and the drivers have always been nice.

We just had food delivered from this restaurant. The order took almost 2 hours from when I placed the order and when I phoned to find out why it was taking so long I got a surly abrupt speaking employee. Adding insult to injury was the fact that the food was terrible! I mean really bad! The egg rolls tasted like there was cinnamon in them and when my friend bit into one the inside plopped out of the wrapper still fully formed. It lay there looking for all the world like a turd… really repulsive looking. The chicken balls were spongy and bland. The «sweet and sour» sauce tasted like apple juice thickened with cornstarch. The fried rice had minuscule amounts of chicken in it and needed salt. When do you ever need to put more salt in Chinese food? The anemic white noodle dish tasted like an anemic white noodle dish. The garlic ribs were… well really, do I need to go on? I will never order from this restaurant again. Terrible. The worst part is now I have loads of leftovers that I can’t even enjoy for breakfast in the morning.

This is just pure disgusting. I’ll never order here again. I believe a bowl full of pure sugar would have less calories than their meals. Pure unhealthily junk food, I got sick within five minutes of eating it and threw most of it in the trash. If you don’t care about your health or your weight, this is the prefect place for you. And if you like stomach cramps and diarrhea all night, you found yourself a winner.

This this the only place in Ottawa that I go for Chinese food, it’s soo good and cheap. I get a combination plate and I’m good for a couple of days. You can’t beat that for just under ten bucks

Really tasty food with huge portions for what you pay. A bit slow for delivery but definitely worth the wait! They are not shy with the spice

If you like hair in your food, order mixups and lousy customer service then cypress garden is right for you!
Don’t get me wrong, the food was good and the portions are amazing for the price. But by the time they delivered us the RIGHT order I had lost my appetite. The long black hair I found in my crispy beef was the cherry on top.

We frequently grab combo plates here. All under $ 10 and easliy enoyght for two meals.
I like the General Tao chicken and the almond chicken guy ding. Crispy beef, S&S Chicken and fried rice are all above standard Ottawa Chinese take out

Not bad. The food isn’t the best Chinese ever but the portions are great, I have a huge appetite and I always have leftovers. Never too pricey either, I recommend it.

You always get such a good value at Cypress Garden. Not only do they have really tasty, well-​portioned food, but they also have really affordable prices and even offer free dishes, like chicken fried rice or chow mein, if you order reaches a certain amount. They will even make your dishes not spicy or without MSG, if you request it.
I’ve only ever ordered Cypress Garden for delivery, which is quite fast, only costs an extra buck, takes Interact, and they deliver until about midnight or so.
They’ve been around for over 10 years and have quite an extensive menu. They offer Mandarin, Cantonese, and Szechuan dishes, and also a couple of random Canadian foods like poutine. They have lot of different combination plates and family dinners, with a good variety of food included in each one. My favorites are Buddha’s Delight vegetables, Mo-​She Pork, Lemon Chicken, General Tao’s Chicken, Crispy Beef, and Fried Beef and Rice Noodles with Black Bean Sauce. Oh man, I just ate pizza, but now I’m craving some Cypress Garden!
