Better Chef

Delicious Chinese food. Dishes came out quickly and tasted good for a reasonable price. Service was ok. Ambience was nice. I would recommend ordering the better chefs braised pork ribs and the braised eggplant with seafood. The restaurant gets quite busy so come early to get a seat.

One word to describe this restaurant- legit! If you're in waterloo or a student, this is a must try! I like how I can write a note to notified them that I don't want too much spicy for my food. The dishes are so flavourful and taste so yummy.

Unexpected amazing Chinese food found in Waterloo! Provided a wide range of choices. Dishes came very quickly and very delicious. Order both spicy and non spicy dishes both are flavorful and satisfying. Ordered Better Chef’s braised pork ribs, incredibly tasty and the meats juicy and aromatic tender. Szechuan style water boiled spicy fish, this boiling ibes full of flavor. Pork intestine with hot pepper so tempting, perfect heat perfect spice ! Braised slices white gourd with dried shrimp, an intense dried shrimp flavor that enhances the flavor of sauce and super umami flavor Stir fried Choy sum with dry shrimp : Hot + soften veg Choy sum but not over cooked, dried shrimp added for flavour of the dishes Chinese herbal soup : Chicken with cordyceps flower; Black Chicken soup with Chinese herbs Soup is soul of the whole! For sure back ! Thanks for servicing an amazing family day dinner

from February 28, 2020 One of the nicer Chinese restaurants in Waterloo. The staff were very attentive and kind. The wait was also not too bad about 15 min for all of the food to arrive. The presentation of the food was aesthetically pleasing and the dishes were tasty. One thing to watch out for is how spicy some of the dishes can be. If you request a mild version of a spicy dish, it will still be decently spicy. Portions are good to share with 4-5 people in total. The overall environment is also very beautiful with a cherry blossom tree fake of course as well as aesthetic wooden furniture.

Beautiful interior and large portions great for anyone that isn't vegetarian. Let them know about your spice level as everything is pretty spicy Vegetarian options: Very limited vegetarian options, ask the employees what they recommend.

Very good experience in palaza. The taste is a little bit salty, but very good, exactly the same as in China. The quantity is also large enough.I like waiter and waitress' smile. Definitely I will be there again.

Good food and very affordable price considering the portions are quite large.

Customer service was good and the ambience was nice too, they had pretty plates. However, the food is absolutely horrendous. Do not get the tomato soup beef noodles if you ever go here. It tasted like they put an entire ketchup bottle in the soup.

All food too salty!! The seafood pot has very little seafood.. chicken does not taste fresh. Won’t ever come back sorry..

Love the food here, good portions and great atmosphere as well, would recommend
