I used to order from the Somerset location all the time. I now order from the Springfield location since they moved. However, the food seems to have suffered. I ordered my usual Singapore noodles and lemon chicken, and the first time the chicken was very tough and dry. Second time was ok though, so I let it slide. Two nights ago, ordered the same again. This time the chicken was inedible. I don't know what happened but the chicken soo guy was so dry and tough I couldn't chew through it. I ended up using it as chew treats for my dog. She's a pittbull and even she took a long time to knaw away at it. Noodles are always great, but avoid the lemon chicken soo guy, it's not edible.

Ordered 3 veg dishes at closing time & no worries eggplant in garlic sauce, general tao tofu & curried veggies were prepared quickly :) Containers were filled to the rim w delish tender eggplant, tofu strips & a variety of fresh veggies. Eggplant dish was presented in a delish garlic sauce w an array of cauliflowers, broccolis, onion, carrots just yum w sticky rice that came w. Tofu was sweet n’ spicy with veggies such as bamboo shoots which I quite enjoyed. Curried veggies were spicy & fragrant delish & again an array of different veggies such as broccolini. Excellent quality, freshness of ingredients & impressive quantity!! Tks

This is my go-to Chinese restaurant in Ottawa! I used to frequent the location in Chinatown, but it closed down. This location has the same great menu, and it's a decent space too. It's even slightly bigger than the other location. They provide a simple but decent dine-in experience. They are better than most Chinese places at accommodating vegetarians and have many satisfying vegetarian dishes! I would recommend the Malaysian fried rice and vegetarian pad Thai.

They are closing their Sommers et location for good at the end of July and unfortunately, I am not sure we will follow to this location . We tried to eat there with 30 min to closing and I don't think I have ever felt so unwelcomed at a restaurant. To the point where we asked for a takeout container for the one dish we had ordered so we could leave as soon as possible. And the dish we got, Malaysian fried rice, was half cooked.

I used to frequent their Somerset location before they closed, and this was my first time here. The food is just as delicious, and great location. I highly recommend trying their crispy tofu and their ice teas, so yummy!

I always get their Wu Se vegetables dish.

Very fast preparation time and courteous staff. We ordered take out but inside restaurant looks very clean. No frills food but very delicious. Well done beef pho had super rich broth. Almost ramen density. Flavours are all there and don’t taste ‘from a can’ like a lot of Asian spots in Ottawa. Parking is limited but there are usually spots next to Second Cup.

So Good has moved to New Edinburgh. They brought with them everything we've loved about them for three decades!

Good food. Good service. First time at this location but we used to go to the one on Somerset. Had a bowl of chicken hot and sour soup and the crispy Szechuan chicken. Very uncomfortable though as it was warm inside the restaurant. In October. I’d hate to see how warm it gets in there in summer.

We ordered a mix of items last night. Very good, different from standard Chinese fare. For example, the taste and texture of chicken balls is predictable at most joints, but these were better, yummy. Also, the red sauce you always get with the balls-better, like, not from the big vat we suspect most places share... So Good highly recommended.

Great Chinese takeout place! We love the wu se chicken (peanut sauce) and the fried flat rice noodles with chicken in So Good sauce. Prices are reasonable and portions are huge. We ordered 3 dishes and rice and it was enough for the 2 of us for 3+ meals. They were also very quick - our order was ready in 20 mins.

My wife and I adore the original location of So Good, so we were cautiously optimistic. It turned out we had nothing to worry about. The salt and pepper Tofu was hot and crispy, the wu se vegetables were as flavourful as ever and we tried a new dish for us, the Singapore noodles, and were pleasantly surprised.

Have been a long time Fan of Somerset Street location. (now closed) Springfield Road is renovated, clean and bright. Same Awsome Food!! Nana is the Best.

We ordered take out. It was ready quickly and was very tasty. The mixed vegetables were crunchy, not limp, and the chicken dish wasn't padded out with cheap filler vegetables. Portions were generous. I'll definitely be ordering from here again!

Great food and excellent portions and very quick service! Had the egg rolls which are some of the best I've had, crispy beef which was delicious, pepper salt tofu and Wu se veg which were both amazing. Will definitely be ordering again!

The food is authentic & very tasty. Their wonton soup & spicy beef are my staples. Take-out TIP: ALWAYS double the time they say to be there... or you'll wait EVERY time.

They use a good mix of fresh veggies/ingredients and the items are reasonably priced. I also like that their food is not too salty. Highly recommend the Wu Se vegetables (it includes tofu too which is a huge bonus for me)

Lacks thr decor and cute ambiance of the Somerset location but many dishes still good.

Absolutely delicious! Not salty. Veggies fresh and perfectly cooked. Loved the pineapple tofu; shrimp and vegs with noodles, veg rice and the pork with green beans. This will be a frequented take out place for us.

Amazing vegan options. I love the fried salt and pepper tofu (like a "popcorn tofu") and the wu se vegetables with peanut sauce.

One of us got our food 10 minutes before the other did, and it had the wrong protein in it. My dish was supposed to be Indonesian, but it lacked any flavour except the small amount of heat.

Food is always good. Their egg rolls are awesome!

The food was okay. I was a bit disappointed because I ordered the crispy beef and in no way was it the right order. Flavours we're okay, just pretty sweet. Peanut chicken was good.

I'm always spoiled when I go to So Good. I am Celiac and they can always accomodate me. Their food is delicious and my husband who eats gluten shares my meals and loves it too!

This offshoot is pretty faithful to the original Somerset location which has been an institution for decades. Hot, fresh, great portions and very tasty.

Followed them here since their original opening on Somerset. New owner has made changes & food is almost as great. Wu Se is the best anywhere.

The best chinese food in the neighbourhood, with tons of great vegetarian options. The pepper-salt tofu and green beans are AMAZING!

Great food!! Everything was really fresh and healthy. Service was great for takeout and only took 20 mins for a very big order.

Yes this is the So Good you know and love from Chinatown. Malaysian fried rice and salt and pepper tofu are a must.

Not as good as the Chinese restaurant that was there before them, but better than the other options in the area.

I order thier special fried rice and didn't have any flavour so simple I could of made a better fried rice

Over cooked meats and bland rice, lack of flavour in the general Tao
