One of the oldest in Ottawa and still the best.We've gone to other places over the years but after going here it's been our go to and they never let you down. Food is always good, nice size portions, good prices. It's take out only so don't expect to go there for a sit down meal.

A take out restaurant. The food is great, there are places that might have a specialty dish that is better, but overall every dish there is great, there is nothing I don't like there, which is rare. I always order take out from here. I do big orders for up to 10 people, and eveytime it is fast and tastey. They have deals depending on how much you buy for free fried rice. I have been eating here for many years

We have been ordering from Cathay's for like close to 30 years (ooofff), and it never disappoints. Excellent food, great portions, and decent prices - not too mention fast delivery and awesome staff. I love the mushroom egg foo young and the Chinese greens (seems like such a simple thing but I was never able to recreate it myself). If you are looking for a great place to order Cantonese food from, look no more!
