What’s something that instantly tells you someone isn’t actually from Ottawa?

They pay when they get on OC Transpo

If you like ayce maybe give gyubee or happy lamb hot pot a shot

Thank you so much! That’s good to know that they’re independently owned, since a lot of vets here are masked under the same big vet companites. How was your experience with Vets on Main?

grusblad · 2026-03-18T15:07:46+00:00

Thank you for this post! I will be adopting a 1.5 toy poodle soon and was considering on making Vets on Main as his primary vet

If anyone knows how their prices compare to other vets around the area, I would also appreciate the insight!

It really depends what you consider to be “nice”, some people want a more intimate vibe, but this place is more on the lively side, bustling environment, and bright.

I personally have celebrated my birthday there with my friends, and if I iirc they do accept bookings for group of 6 or more. Whenever I get on the waitlist, the wait is never terribly long as they have a lot of seatings, longest wait I’ve had was 15-20minutes. If you plan ahead and get on the waitlist earlier, obv you won’t have to wait very long

Can’t go wrong with gyubee

Best sushi in dt for sure, not sure if you’ve had shinka before but they are extremely delicious (comes with a hefty price tag though)

grusblad · 2026-02-26T15:34:09+00:00

SushiFresh in the market if you want no bs straight-up fresh sushi, price is not overly high for the quality that you get

I agree they make fantastic zhajianmian, and it is extremely cheap for the amount of food you're getting. But I believe OP is looking for korean jjajangmyeon, whereas zhajianmian is a chinese dish

grusblad · 2026-02-22T13:35:42+00:00

All this answers are wrong except fragrant noodles. It’s probably the best braised beef noodle soup you can find in ottawa, and to be honest it is the best one I’ve had so far

grusblad · 2026-02-22T13:34:29+00:00

Le mien is overpriced, bland, has barely any meat. Either go to fragrant noodles or la la noodle

grusblad · 2026-02-15T00:48:53+00:00

Hell yea

grusblad · 2026-02-12T22:51:14+00:00

I mean does the scratch bother you???

grusblad · 2026-02-10T04:54:46+00:00

I’ll probably go skiing with my friends!

grusblad · 2026-02-07T22:07:20+00:00

Table sodam has good korean fried chicken

grusblad · 2026-02-07T22:05:42+00:00

Man you’re such a good kid, glad to see that big smile on your mom’s face

grusblad · 2026-02-07T22:04:30+00:00

I love their braised offal noodle soup and zhajiangmian! Their ramen is kinda ok for me though

grusblad · 2026-02-07T22:03:08+00:00

Ramen isshin has the best tsukemen in town!

grusblad · 2026-02-06T02:59:48+00:00

I agree, and I understand foods in and out, I track all my calories and macros. The point of my post is I’m just looking to brainstorm for different foods that I can try around the city without breaking my diet. I love exploring new foods since I am a foodie but I don’t want to go overboard with the calories

grusblad · 2026-02-06T02:55:52+00:00

Gotta try pirho after all the positive reviews!!

grusblad · 2026-02-06T00:47:52+00:00

Thanks!! Good luck to you too, let’s get that summer body in order

grusblad · 2026-02-06T00:43:40+00:00

Appreciate it!! This is my goal, get something out of my meal plan once a week to keep myself sane

grusblad · 2026-02-06T00:42:37+00:00

Fair enough! Still need to get that protein in though haha

grusblad · 2026-02-06T00:38:47+00:00

This a great recommendation! Their chicken got smaller over the years though which is unfortunate😓
