Disapointed

The quantity of food per dish is large. The quality of the food is mediocre. The time to receive your food is fast. I ordered simple chicken fried rice. I could not determine if the protein was chicken, or fish... Maybe the oil used had absorbed a fish flavor from something else. The General Tao chicken was awful. The chicken was sliced like it has been run through a sandwich meat slicer. The breading seemed to contain the spices and chilies resulting in orange breaded chicken with little sauce. This place is not suitable quality for anyone who knows the quality of food in Montreal Chinese district. I relied on the overall rating for this place and I ended up being disappointed.

A little gem on Somerset

Give it a try! Ben Ben's has been around for a long time. It is a tiny little place that is worth the visit. Sizzling scallops, spicy beef, hot'n'sour soup, any of the noodle dishes and the shrimp dishes. The service is so great and deserves our recognition. I haven't been in a while and I'm thinking of making my way down next weekend!

I really loved the service I got at Ben-Ben. The server was very friendly and can't say anything but good things. I did not like the Hot&Sour soup at all. Szechuan Spicy Beef and Chicken with Mixed Vegetables was okay. Yang Chow fried rice was pretty good. That was the best part of the meal.

food was ok, service absolutely top-notch

I have walked by this restaurant hundreds, perhaps thousands of times but, for whatever reason, last night was my first stop for what I thought would be a quick supper before an evening meeting. I was pretty hungry so I initially ordered BBQ Pork Lo Mein and Fried Noodles with Beef. The waitress was skeptical and told me that this would be quite a bit of food, even for me (6'2", 235 lbs). I debated and, in the end, decided she was right (due my time limitations). What was served was literally a mountain of food - noodles, vegetables, and meat. For the most part, the quality of the food was ok - vegetables were obviously very fresh and meat was relatively tasty. However, if there is one thing I cannot stand, it's when Chinese restaurants saturate (literally) their fried noodles in sauce. I much prefer having crunchy noodles with less sauce than oversaturated noodles, meat, and vegetables. This must be common to most chinese places and was no different here. Still, the food was fresh, very hot, and served very quickly. On my way out, I acknowledged and thanked the waitress once more for her suggestion of ordering less rather than more. She proceeded to engage me in an anecdote lasting five minutes in very good english, albeit broken. Still, she tried and was very forthcoming. Definitely looking forward to going back soon as I blaze trails on Somerset Street several times a week, if not for the largely untested food quality then definitely for the top-notch service, some of the best in Ottawa, in my opinion.

Great food for a great price.

Have been enjoying this restaurant since almost the first day it opened. Have brought friends, family and clients to enjoy their great dishes and friendly staff. Highly recommend anyone in Ottawa or coming to Ottawa to give Ben Ben's a try. Just remember this, there is no chicken balls and garbage like that.
