Royal Treasure………….
Suppose I should add something to this restaurant besides the Hot & Sour Soup...
I go there everyday for lunch and sometimes for dinner...
Service sucks (too hyper!!!), cleanliness so so, prices... too high, but portions are enormous...! they make you take out... I have tried to make them reduce prices and portions... but they are a little 'thick'...
But the H&S soup is #1 in
It is small and crowded... so I am loathed to make it more so....
Szechwan really sucks, but
My kids will not eat in this restaurant! They are very Canadian…. This place is too dirty… long story there…
2007 08 01. Finally found out where the cook/owner got the recipe for the Hot & Sour Soup. The kids would/could not tell me, but I finally got it out of the co-owner/wife. It came from an old cook who worked at Peking Restaurant. Now, I think this restaurant is gone now.... but this would explain the inconsistency in the soup. There is a slow attrition here... The cook/co-owner is kind of moody too.... understatement here.... and aside from this secret and the 'wok flavour', the food at this place is so-so. They also don't do steamed fish, as this involves using up the wok and they only have two....so..... tsk, tsk, tsk... And they don't do congee, even though it is on the menu. And they don't know how to adapt to changing requests from customers!
But they have enough business to keep them happy and not wanting more....

I don't think the food at Royal Treasure is good. Their portion was good. But the service was very bad. I stopped going to this place for many years already.
never said the food is good...just that it had 'wok taste'... and if you are chinese and you write like a chinese... in fact I can guess who you are from ottawafoodies... you will realize that they have that in spades.... and read carefully....
fyi their prices have increased since you've been ... and now their clentele is Caucasian...
royal treasure's S&S soup recipe is taken from someone who used to work at Peking Restaurant. Think they are done now, but it is still the best, when they get it right, in Ottawa!
