Sula Wok

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. An absolute gem of a place. We asked the owner for recommendations, as it was our first time. He took the time to go over the highlights of the menu and gave recommendations based on our preferences. Gluten free and vegetarian options are available, but we did not try them. We got the pad see ew with pork, the cumin rice dish with beef, and the Tibetan beef dumplings. We also got the lemonade on the side, which was a great way to reset the pallet. The flavours were not too bold, and worked together very nicely. It was extremely flavourful without having one specific flavour/spice dominating the dish. The food was served in wooden bowls, which was very appealing, and comfortable to hold. If this restaurant was located in our town, we would be regular customers. For now, we are definitely adding this as a must visit every time we come back to Ottawa.

I love tacos. My favourite food. I have to say, while non-traditional (they are Asian fusion rather than Mexican-style) - Sula’s tacos are the best I’ve had. She makes them gluten-free for my dietary needs, and they are delicious and large and filling. They are also great people who love our neighbourhood in Old Ottawa East. The restaurant is currently take out or dine outside only, but it is well worth the trip before heading home.
