“ This is currently a take-out spot, but I really hope they open a full restaurant soon! Be sure to order early on weekends, as they get a large queue of orders. The person who took our call informed us about the wait time, so we were well prepared. We ordered the chicken fried rice, paneer Hakka noodles, chili chicken with gravy, and paneer chili dry, which came with a side of Schewan chutney. This is the authentic Indo-Chinese food I’ve been missing for so long! Probably one of the best I’ve had—flavorful yet not overly greasy like many others. The noodles and ingredients were fresh, and the taste was absolutely spot on! If I could get a bottle of their freshly made Schezwan chutney, I would! The spice and garlic kick is incredible. If you’re craving Indo-Chinese food in Canada, this is the place for you! Unlike others, they have a limited menu, but they do it really well. Finally, a great spot for vegetarians too! So excited about this place and will definitely be visiting often. ”
“ I ordered from this takeout spot & it was a great experience! We tried the Vegetable Manchurian (dry), Veg Hakka Noodles, Triple noodles gravy, and Veg Schezwan Rice. The standout dish for me was the Veg Hakka Noodles—they were perfectly cooked with just the right balance of flavor and spice. The noodles had a lovely, smoky essence, and the vegetables were fresh and crunchy, making this dish a clear winner. The Vegetable Manchurian (dry) was good, with crispy Manchurian balls coated in a flavorful sauce. For the Veg Schezwan Rice, it was decent & spicy, just how I like it. Triple Noodles with Gravy was a bold and flavorful combination they offered. Service was quick, and the packaging kept the food warm and fresh. Overall, I’d highly recommend this place, especially for their Veg Hakka Noodles! Looking forward to trying more from their menu. ”
“ The best Indian Chinese we had after 4 years. Amazing. Less spicy, less oil and perfect taste. Though service is slow but you need to call them say 1.5-2 hours prior to get your order ready. Rest everything is good. We ordered veg Manchurian noodles and chicken chilly plus schezwan chutney is worth the taste ”
“ Ordered delivery from this spot because I trusted my gut after seeing the ratings on Google. Boy, did it ever pay off. Yum yum yum. Packed with flavour this is. Indian, yes but a strong hint of Chinese takeout here too. Binge worthy food for sure. ”
“ So happy to have finally found authentic Desi Chinese in Ottawa!! The expectation was very high given all 5 star reviews and I’m glad the food lived up to the hype. We ordered Chicken Triple Schezwan Noodles with gravy, Chicken Manchurian Noodles with gravy, Hakka Noodles and Chili Chicken as takeout. Every single dish was flavourful. Special shoutout to the Schezwan sauce, it was amazing! From a quantity perspective, one portion is good for one person. Will definitely order again! ”
“ I ordered the Burnt Garlic Noodles and Shanghai Paneer Dry from IC 22 Hakka via Uber Eats, and it would be a disservice to call them merely “good” or even “very good.” They truly deserve “best” or “best of the best” status. The packaging was spot-on: sturdy, leak-proof containers kept everything piping hot, and the sauces and garnishes were neatly sealed so nothing spilled. Burnt Garlic Noodles: Each noodle had that signature wok-char aroma, with just the right amount of charred garlic—intense yet never bitter. The texture hit the sweet spot between springy and silky, and you could taste the freshness of every vegetable and perfectly balanced seasoning. Honestly, every forkful felt like a flavor-packed joyride. Shanghai Paneer Dry: The paneer cubes were fried to a flawless golden crisp on the edges. Perfect amount of spices, Loved It. Generous portion size too. It would be unfair to stop at “great” or “very good”—IC 22 Hakka’s delivery dishes are the epitome of excellence. I have never had this nice Hakka Indo chinese even at most places in India. A recomendation: Please try to include American Chopsuey in the menu! Its nowhere in Ottawa. I am sure nobody else apart from you can actually make that. ”
“ I recently took a takeout from IC-22 which specializes in Indian Chinese cuisine, and it was an extraordinary culinary experience. The food was absolutely delectable, with a perfect balance of spices that tantalized my taste buds. This was hands down the best Indo Chinese meal I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys Indian Chinese food. It’s a wonderful opportunity to support both local and small business. ”
“ One of the best spots to get Hakka in Ottawa. Great portion size, very tasty and priced fairly! I'm also really glad they have a variety of halal and veg options! It's what separates itself from other Hakka spots that don't give these options. I cannot wait for this place to open a dine in!!! ”
