Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Yellowknife

This is quite a famous spot. Every local will recommend you to come here and it is worth the hype. Their fishes are fresh and juicy. They are quite busy and it is recommended to have reservations. Got the pan flame grilled trout. Simply amazing. Also got the poutine which was flavorful as well. A must stop.

Love the portion sizes, we never get fish anywhere south of here because it’s really expensive for the tiniest piece of fish, but not here! Service was decent, it was weirdly empty and quiet when we visited on a Wednesday night. Most of us got the pan fried trout, the fish was sweet and probably the best fish I’ve had, above Vancouver and Japan. Also recommend the Arctic Char if they have it, though it’s imported and a fattier fish. Ask for it to be not too well done especially when it’s grilled so you can really appreciate the taste of the fish.

There is a reason locals and tourists alike rave about this place, it’s delicious! It’s been almost-30 years since I last ate here and it’s still amazing. The portion sizes are huge, the fish juicy, flakey, and delicious, and the walls full of memories. We tried the Lake Trout, Great Slave acid, and Inconnu, all of which I’d recommend. The fries are your standard fare and the salad, while initially an underwhelming pile of lettuce and shredded carrots, is quickly elevated with their house dressing that you can buy bottles of there or at grocery stores around town. We got our fish battered and deep fried, but you can also get it seared and pan fried. We went on a weekday evening in July, and while we didn’t have to wait, reservations are recommended to avoid waiting. If you’re in Yellowknife and enjoy some delicious fish, I highly recommend it.

Good fish and chips, well cooked. Helpful staff seated us right away. Perhaps the fries could be a little less on the dark side. We had the whitefish, both deep fried and grilled and both were good! A bit on the rustic side, but perhaps that is intended.

This is one of the best places to eat in Yellowknife. Food is freshly made and delicious. Some ratings have this as the best fish and chips in Canada. The walls are adorned with the signatures of past visitors and any photos or other items they've stapled thereto.

The restaurant has approximately 40 seats. We ordered white fish and beef, both of which were delicious and local beer. However, there was only one chef and staff member to assist a large number of customers at once.

I don’t entirely get the hype but maybe we ordered wrong? Originally from the UK I didn’t want battered and fried so we opted for the pan fried and it came with quite a spicy butter that reminded me of Indian cuisine, it took away the flavour a lot of the fresh fish and it gave me terrible heartburn afterwards. My husband loved the bison stew and said he preferred it to the fish. The place is very small and we didn’t queue as we went at about 2:30pm on Friday. The service was ok, nice enough but bare minimum. The cards and writing on the walls just makes it look tired and grubby, we did have fun emailing a lot of the people though!

Warm & cozy, located by the Great Slave Lake. Apple cramble and carrot cake looked amazing and tasted nice. worth a visit Note: Open on Sunday till 3pm while other most cafes in city center close

Nice little Cafe in old town with a solid menu and great customer service. I had the Veggie hamburger which was tasty. I particularly loved the pickle on the side.

Very nice atmosphere, lots of beautiful art. The service is great, very fast and very friendly. I had a double latte with a Carmel shot and it was fantastic. My husband and I both had omelettes, which we both enjoyed. I particularly like that the meal came with a fresh fruit cup with good quality fruit which is refreshing to find in Yellowknife. The prices are fair for the value of the meal, overall we had a very enjoyable brunch. I always forget to take a picture of the food before eating part of it because it is too tasty to not eat right away.

Good taste and atmosphere but little bit expensive. There are breakfast and lunch. All the times on Sunday, you can should breakfast or lunch.

My sandwich was unreal. Half our table did get mixed up orders. I think the waitress was in training. Great coffee. Lovely location

Friendly environment and good customer service, this cafe overlooks the lake which enriches the experience. I recommend this place for excellent food and coffee.

Decent Breakfast Small, but good breakfast menu. Has Artic Char Eggs Benedict, which I ordered. Was very good. As previous reviews, hashbrowns a bit greasy.

I recently dined at Traders Grill for lunch and it was a delightful experience! The Canadian Western cuisine truly impressed us. We tried the Elk Goulash and the mixed northern salad, both of which were bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Our server was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations that enhanced our meal. The staff consistently ensured we had fresh water and promptly cleared our dishes after each course, making us feel well taken care of. The atmosphere was quiet and rustic, providing a casual yet charming dining experience. The spacious layout and stunning views of the snow-covered forest added to the overall ambiance, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy our meal. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality and value of the lunch menu items made it worth every penny. I highly recommend Traders Grill for anyone looking for a cozy, delicious lunch in a beautiful setting!

A great place to unwind, have a nice meal, with great customer service. I arrived close to closing time and was welcomed without feeling like I was an inconvenience nor did I feel rushed to finish my meal and get out. The server was very friendly, made menu recommendations and provided great service. This place is a nice retreat to have a meal

I’ve visited Trader’s Grill twice now, and while my first experience was genuinely impressive, the second one left me a bit disappointed. The inconsistency makes it hard to know what to expect. During my first visit, the restaurant was packed, and there was even a large group that slowed down service quite a bit. Despite the long wait, everything that came out of the kitchen was worth it, especially the Herbs & Garlic Encrusted Roasted Rack of Lamb - each bite was incredibly satisfying! The meat was perfectly prepared —juicy, tender, and full of flavor. It was the kind of meal that makes you wonder why the place doesn’t have better reviews. Because of that amazing first impression, I came back shortly after and ordered the same dishes, hoping for a repeat. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t match. The restaurant was still busy, but this time the food just wasn’t the same. The meat came out bland and noticeably overcooked, dry enough that it took away most of the enjoyment. It felt like a completely different kitchen was handling the meal. I really hope they can work on consistency, because when they’re good, they’re really good.

I’ve been here several times in the last few years traveling here. Food is consistently amazing. Steak is tender and flavourful, and their northern salad (not pictured) was surprisingly good that I ordered it again. Elk burger was tougher than I’d like but flavour is good. Staff are very friendly, though seem to be short staffed often. So it usually takes a long time to get seated as staff are busy and also don’t see you from the entrance (waited 10 minutes in a visibly half empty restaurant once without anyone coming by). That’s my only gripe.

First the good: beautiful dining room with a great view, was seated right away and served promptly. Wine selections included Canadian choices and the portions were generous. Prices were high as expected. Now the struggle: food was mediocre at best (salad was overdressed and served in bowl difficult to eat from, squash risotto had me hunting for tiny bits of squash and was not well seasoned. And at this price point I didn’t expect butter in a little plastic packet). But mostly I was disappointed that so little seemed to reflect local possibilities. Why Wagyu? (The server couldn’t tell me where it was sourced.) Chicken Kiev and lasagne seemed out of place. It’s summer here and I can see local folks growing kale, raspberries, rhubarb, lettuce and other fresh food in their yards—perhaps there is a business opportunity for a local grower to supply restaurants like this one.

The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived around 1 so we had great, friendly quick service. The menu is not not extensive but we both found something appealing and the food was very good. We had a beautiful window view and a bonus was free parking.

The vibe is nice and the server is friendly. We ordered grilled bison ribeye and lamb. Both medium rare and it was so great and juicy. It’s not cheap but the portion is large. We had white chocolate guava cheesecake for dessert, so cheesy with strong guava flavor. Totally worth visiting.

I odered infront of your counter for take away, the packaging is pack sealed with sticker, you repeat my order but still I dont see my side coleslaw on my order

Servers were swearing and eating behind the bar, not dressed appropriately. Food was cold. I worked at BP Swift Current years ago and what I saw when I was in Yellowknife would never fly. Its not the BP standards.

Ordered door dash for a gluten free chicken club and roasted carrots.. The sandwhich was 27$ before tax, smaller than a McDonald’s chicken burger, meat was dry as a bone, and the carrots speak for themselves. Almost totally raw. Barely a few forkfuls of them. Not cooked enough to even eat so had to throw them out. Disappointed!

I would like to report two serious issues at Boston Pizza. First, Manreet ignored our table for 15 minutes, serving another table while we had to call out to get attention. Second, the bartender served us a broken glass, which is unsafe and unacceptable. Both incidents are highly unprofessional

Visited on Nov 21st around 7:30pm. I ordered the jambalaya without sausage, but it came out missing the grilled chicken, shrimp, and Cajun seasoning. Unfortunately, the server didn’t seem to check the quality before bringing it out, so I waited about 8 minutes before being able to ask for it to be redone. Even after the remake, the dish was still missing key ingredients. When I mentioned the issue while returning the plate, the response felt a bit rushed. The bill was also initially added to my partner’s tab without being checked with me, though this was corrected after I asked. I did appreciate that they offered store credit at the end. I’ve visited BP many times and usually enjoy the atmosphere, it’s a great place to hang out and watch a game. I understand the staff can get busy, but this time it felt like the quality and service were overlooked. I hope the team can improve their attention to food preparation and service consistency, as BP is normally a place we like coming back to.

We are. 2 guys going to hangout in the boston pizza and there are 2 servers one girl and one boy the boy is kinda busy but the girl standing tall and free behind the bar counter although she saw us waiting to order but she didn't come to serve us idk its feels weird then we call the boy he help us out please provide training to the staff specially the girl thank you i hope boston pizza improves the service

I had an early lunch before taking my flight back to Regina. The waitress was really friendly and nice. My personal size Deluxe pizza was great, just enough food to keep me going until I get to Calgary as my layover.

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. It seems like they take advantage of tourists. From the moment we entered and placed our order, no one mentioned that there would be a 15% service fee. It was only when we went to pay the bill that they informed us it was the store’s policy. The waiter claimed that every restaurant in Yellowknife does this, but that’s simply not true. Our total came to $31.50, and with the service fee, it was $36.50. I paid $40 in cash and decided not to argue further—I didn’t want to let this ruin my good mood while visiting Yellowknife. Unfortunately, this was our last meal here. Apart from the comfort of a hot soup on a cold day, the food was bad. We were the first customers at this restaurant today, and aside from taking our order, no additional service was provided. I strongly question the justification for this unreasonable service fee. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place.

The food was good, I recommend the vermicelli dishes with spring rolls, they’re tasty and well priced. The rest of the dishes I think are a bit over priced given the atmosphere of the restaurant. Service was quick, though the place was empty when we went. I would come again for lunch.

The moment we walked in, the atmosphere already felt strange. After the previous customers left, the staff didn’t even bother wiping the tables — new customers had to find a clean one themselves. Within just a few minutes, they started pressuring us to order, and when we asked questions about the dishes, they simply refused to answer. The pho broth was sweet, which I’ve never encountered before — easily the worst pho I’ve ever had in my life. Just a few sad, thin slices of meat floating in it. My friend ordered the chicken leg rice, and it was completely burnt and so tough it couldn’t be chewed. When we asked the server, “Is your chicken usually cooked this way? It’s so hard to chew,” her response shocked us — “Yes, it’s always like that, it’s because of the chicken breed.” What kind of ridiculous answer is that?! And she said it with total confidence! We also overheard the staff mocking customers and making rude comments about people after they left. When we went to pay, the server didn’t show us the invoice — just handed over the card machine. We felt the total seemed off and asked to see the bill, only to find out they had automatically added a 15% tip without telling us! The whole time we were there, we didn’t even get water or napkins — zero service — and yet they secretly charged a tip. Absolutely unacceptable. Honestly, I think the owner doesn’t even care about bad reviews. Since there isn’t much competition in this small town, they’ve gotten used to treating customers poorly, as if we have no other choice. It’s such an arrogant attitude. But there are plenty of other restaurants in town that are delicious and friendly — do yourself a favor and avoid this one!

I went in expecting a pretty bare-bones experience after reading other reviews, which is usually just fine, but this place was sparse, empty, and dingy. From the hard-slamming door when you walk in, to the uncertainty of sitting down or waiting, to the overall grubby feel of the place, it’s not exactly welcoming. Service wasn’t particularly quick, and the food came out one plate at a time, with minutes between each dish. The beef noodle soup was tasty, and the rare beef the perfect level of doneness. A few minutes in the broth and it was tender and delicious. The chow mein was disappointing. We had the noodles crunchy, and they seemed to have been fried while still dry, resulting in an unpleasant texture and flavour. The veggies and meat were done well, but there wasn’t a lot of sauce. The hoisin sauce seemed to be watered down with something like Worcestershire sauce, making it quite running and an unpleasant flavour. Overall, we were unimpressed. I’ve heard good things about the place, so maybe we just caught it on a bad night.

Awesome food at a reasonable and pocket friendly price. It's located at the heart of downtown and usually opened till 8pm in the evening. The food is delicious and they do follow the customization requested. The staff is friendly and approachable. I would definitely recommend this place for having Vietnamese food.

Really disappointed! The server added a 15% tip automatically to our bill without saying anything, and we didn’t notice — so we tipped another 15% on top of that. We only realized after we left. On top of that, the utensils were placed on the side of the table and looked really dirty. That’s not right and feels very dishonest. Won’t be coming back.

Hey There, Jameel your account manager here at Doordash. Would love to connect with you when you have a chance, please see my most recent email in your inbox and lets set up a call to catch up. Looking forward to hearing back!

Beef noodle soup super delicious. Fried spring rolls also quite good but the steam one soso (skin too thick). Fried ice cream 5/10.

Sliced raw beef pho is good beyond my expectations, with tasty broth and chewy noodles.

I had Vietnamese food after a long time and I loved their soup very much. The staff was friendly, helpful, courteous, and very kind. I recommend this place.

The handwritten order slip, now a rare sight in Vancouver, was an experience I unexpectedly relived at a Vietnamese restaurant in Yellowknife. Today, with strong winds sweeping through Yellowknife, we stepped into this local favorite. We ordered two bowls of pho and some fried spring rolls. The steaming hot noodle soup warmed us from the inside out, a particularly comforting delight on a cold windy day.

My experience at this restaurant was a bit hit and miss. While the food was decent, it didn’t leave a lasting impression. Our group ordered a variety of dishes, including pho, a rice vermicelli bowl, wonton soup, fried rice, and chicken wings. Most of the dishes were satisfactory, but none stood out as exceptional. What really threw me off was the service. When we placed our order, the server rushed us through without confirming what we had asked for, and seemed a bit on edge. To make matters worse, they mixed up our order and brought us three plates of spring rolls that we hadn’t ordered at all. All in all, it’s a place worth trying, but with the service issues and average food, I’m not particularly eager to return.

BEST Vietnamese Pho in town!! We ordered beef and chicken pho, fried wonton and also a fresh salad roll. The taste was very nice and very warm. The staff is friendly and if you find yourself so cold in YK, please pay a visit and enjoy a warm soup here!

Very delicious pho and quick service; liked that they offered a 'small' sized portion for pho. Place fills up very quickly during lunch hour.

Great little sport to enjoy some sushi in downtown YK. Have eaten many times and always satisfied with food. Some good eats under $20.

I came here with my family in the freezing winter, and we had a pretty big meal together. My favorites were the Arctic Char, which is not usually found anywhere else, and the dragon roll, which was much tastier than most other places I've tried. The rice was just right. It was soft but also exactly firm enough to feel really good. The fish, compared to most places I've been to, was very, very fresh for its price range.

Excellent sushi with local fish from NWT !

the first time where I could barely complete eating my food. I left there with a full stomach. good pricing.

Pleasantly surprised that there is sushi in Yellowknife. Service was quick and friendly. Considering where we are, I can only assume prices are reasonable. I had an Arctic char platter with 3 nigiris, 3 pc roles, and 6 maki pieces for $20. I wish they would be a little more generous with the portions, but in the context of where we are, it's fair.

This restaurant was bit pricey but very kind and we could eat so tasty sushi

Despite operated by Japanese staffs, the overall experience was disappointing. Pricy but what I got was tasteless and overcooked udon, poorly made sushi.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem, Red Apple, while traveling in Yellowknife! The atmosphere is warm and cozy, the service is friendly and attentive, and the food is absolutely amazing. The combination of Chinese and Western dishes is very well balanced, and both the beef noodles and breakfast sandwiches leave you craving more. Especially on those cold Arctic nights, having a steaming bowl of soup feels like pure bliss! I highly recommend their homestyle dishes and specialty drinks. The flavors are authentic, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable. I’ll definitely come back next time I visit Yellowknife to see the Northern Lights! I strongly recommend it to anyone visiting Yellowknife!

Visited with my family and was very impressed! The kids' menu is a great touch, and my children loved the sweet and sour chicken. A must-visit if you're in Yellowknife!

Ordered the “meal for one” and it didn’t meet expectations. It arrived at the table within two minutes of ordering so it’s likely that this was made a long time before and simply reheated in a microwave. The rice surely tasted as if it was microwave reheated and probably made the day before. Despite the other good reviews this place received, in future it may be wise not to order the meals for one. Custom make your order so that it’s freshly prepared.

The Red Apple Restaurant has a wonderful variety of Chinese and Western cuisines. It's located in the core downtown Yellowknife at Franklin Road. The staff is extremely courteous, warm and friendly. The food platter is delicious and the portions are massive compared to any other restaurants. Would highly recommend it if you're craving for some Chinese and Western cuisine in Yellowknife.

Good. Potatoes slightly undercooked. But good for the price. Update came back and ordered meal for one and the rice was old and hard and not warm. It came out like 2 mins after I ordered it so I suspect it was already made and dishes quickly. It was very disappointing.

Loved the cozy atmosphere at The Red Apple Restaurant. The staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly. The dumplings and fried rice were some of the best I’ve had!

While chasing the Northern Lights in Yellowknife, I stumbled upon Red Apple Restaurant — it turned out to be the warmest meal of my entire trip! The food was delicious and perfect for the cold weather. It warmed me up from the inside out! The service was also very friendly and made me feel right at home. After a hearty meal, I was recharged and ready to go aurora hunting — such a perfect arrangement! Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Yellowknife!

I really enjoyed dinner here. The service was quick & friendly, the food was delicious & the portions were large & the restaurant was clean & quiet :)

Our group visited this restaurant for lunch, and it was a pleasant experience from start to finish. We were greeted with warm hospitality and attentive service, making us feel welcome right away. The food was very authentic, offering a great selection of Chinese and Cantonese dishes that truly impressed us. While the decor may feel like a step back in time to the 70s, it adds a nostalgic charm to the dining experience. The prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. Conveniently located in downtown Yellowknife, it’s just across from the Yellowknife Visitor Centre and a short 8-minute walk from the United in Celebration sculpture.

Visited in holiday and ordered a set menu for my dinner. Food was OK unfortunately I lived at South Korea and my Chinese food experience was almost over 30 years and have a hard tasting mouth :) But the day when I was visited, only owner worked at this place and looked so busy to care for their customers.

The food came quickly, the service was friendly, and it was an overall decent breakfast joint. A nice place to catch up with a friend.

This local family-run restaurant serves up both Chinese and Canadian cuisine. The menu is very broad and there is a wide variety of options to suit all palates and dietary preferences. The pan-fried whitefish was prepared fresh-to-order and was very tasty. There's usually ample seating available inside and takeout is a popular option here as well. The staff are very friendly and happy to make suggestions for the menu, and service is generally quick and efficient as well. Definitely recommend visiting for dinner!

The worst restaurant ever! Ordered 3 dishes Hot and sour soup and Beef Chow Fun . Salt and pepper squid they charged me $77 before taxe ! Crazy! And then stayed all night for washroom. Almost got food poisoning! Be careful!!!

I’ve eaten here a few times before and really liked it, but this time was a huge disappointment. The soup had way fewer ingredients than usual, and I ended up having stomach issues several times after getting home. Honestly, if I could, I’d give zero stars. Really disappointed and concerned about the food hygiene.

Ample seating indoors and outdoors, menu is somewhat limited, not sure it lives up to the “Best German Restaurant in Yellowknife” claim, it’s just not German, semi self service restaurant, food is okay

Visited on saturday 12pm. As an operating hour I checked with google map, it opens 3pm on saturday, but,,I don't know it is wrong or just they made a meal for us 😅 Anyway, it was quite good experience. Food was delicious, proper portion. Staff wasn't so kind, friendly but I think she is just introvert, she wans't so unkind as well. Not bad. The only thing I notice to others, ventilation system in the place was not that good. We felt something spicy in eyes, it was pretty uncomfortable to enjoy meal. Almost everything was self-servied. (but as situation, she served sometimes)

It was really really fantastic! It’s a little pricey but the food is well worth it! I had the schnitzel with mushroom gravy and extra salad instead of fries, with tartar sauce on the side, as shown in the first photo. In the second photo, I got the battered white fish, with fries, salad, and a side of tartar sauce. As someone who eats fish a lot, I promise this is a dish. Well worth it! Great portion sizes as well. I will be back to try everything on the menu! Fantastic food and great service. 1000% recommended!

Cozy little restaurant where you can savour German cuisine in Yellowknife! The Jägerschnitzel (Pork schnitzel topped with homemade mushroom sauce) was delicious! The ambiance was great with German tunes playing. I liked that I could order my meal directly by scanning a QR code, so I could take my time to choose what I wanted, and I was quickly served by the cook and owner. Some might find this odd, but it's great ingenuity in 2023! Good luck and prosperity to Shania, I will definitely come back! Prost!

A cozy place to grab a great meal, we had the fried eggplant followed by the schnitzel. Both dishes were delicious and portions were on point for the price. The self serve drinks are a nice touch and I like the laid back way of ordering your food as well. This young entrepreneur has a great thing going.

Overrated. Has metered parking outside. Food served hot. Portion size is decent. Whitefish was very bland and oily. Schnitzel was good. The salad sauce was yum.

I don't exactly care for their new ordering system. It requires the use of your cell phone to place an order. How do you expect people to tip before knowing the service? I visited with my wife and infant. The place has very poor ventilation, and the fryer smoke constantly filled the dining area to the point where I was coughing and eyes were burning. Remember how I said you ordered on your cell? How can I order a glass of water when I'm dying from smoke inhalation?! I felt bad for my little one, and ended up going for a quick walk out in the cold to let him get some fresh air. It's a shame because the food is really good. I had the schnitzel burger and fries. Another downside to Elke's is that they lack variety for those who don't eat pork. No chicken schnitzel, or vegetarian options. We ordered the Buttercream cake, and was told the last slice was already sold. They replaced it with a peach cobbler, which tasted flavorless and doughy. Was very disappointed with dessert after a good schnitzel. Waited approx 45 minutes after ordering until food arrived. Small dining area. Reservations recommended for dinner service. Street parking only. Bring an oxygen tank if you plan on eating here, the schnitzels are tasty, and the coffee is from a proper espresso machine. If my review helps, please leave me a 👍 Cheers 🍻

I'm a patient person. I've been a server and a waitress myself, I worked customer service for a while in my past, but this place drove me crazy. My partner and I came here for dinner even a little before 6 pm. He asked about how things work here and got a sloppy reply from the waitress. We then started thinking about what to order, the waitress came back and we asked for like a couple more minutes to figure out what we wanted. We had our order ready in the following two minutes. Five go by, no one's coming. The tables around are being served and (partly) cleaned (they were floating around the place as if they didn't know where to be, the two waitresses). Ten minutes go by, we start looking around and talking, keeping the menu on the side to indicate that we're ready for ordering. Fifteen minutes (I'm not joking when I say it took this long when we only asked for a couple of minutes) go by and she finally approaches, saying "oops, I forgot about you guys. Are you ready to order now?" We were flabbergasted. It can happen (although I have no idea how, when the dining area is that small and not all tables were filled), but apologise properly then, no? Our order was edamame, salmon maki, and one of the combos - beef on rice and California rolls on the side. Literally we've ordered that before in different places and our food was fresh and ready in no time. It took them THIRTY MINUTES to bring our our edamame (for those who don't know, edamame cooks in about 5 minutes, you sprinkle it with salt, and voilà). EVEN PEOPLE WHO CAME AFTER US WERE BEING SERVED FOOD - and their orders seemed to be bigger, too. At 7:15 pm we got served the rest of our food when I had made eye contact with the server and she rushed into the kitchen as if she would have forgotten about us once more. No apologies for an hour wait at all. We were going to leave in the next five minutes if our food would not have come. It wasn't the freshest, it wasn't beautifully presented, it was definitely not worth an hour and a half of our evening. What really got us was the other people who came in later than we did, getting food first although ours was just that simple and we had been there for AGES. We got the sloppiest and most careless apology, and that's when we learned to never go there again. The worst dining experience I have ever had. If you're busy or the food is taking longer, you should KINDLY address that with the customer, offer water refill or something... All of that is understandable. But this was one hell of an experience... Never again. And, hey, the picture I took and posted here was not taken after we touched the food. This is how we got it, the fork was basically tossed there in between the plates, too. Was it worth the wait? Now you tell me.... Arrival: around 5:50 pm Order taken: 6:15 pm EDAMAME received: 6:30 pm Rest of the order received: 7:15 pm Food finished: 7:25 Paid and left never to return: 7:30 pm

It’s an awful experience. We’ve been waiting for 40mins after order. It feels like forever and only four tables guests in the restaurant. I couldn’t understand why it took such long time. The worst thing was the food. We ordered cucumber roll and tuna roll. There’s only cucumber peels inside the cucumber roll. I can’t believe that. And there’s a big fish bone in the tuna roll. I almost got hurt. So awful. I feel terrible and angry. There’s no worth to try.

The restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with a welcoming and clean environment that sets the perfect tone for enjoying a meal. The ambiance is cozy yet sophisticated, making it an ideal spot for both casual outings and special occasions. The staff’s attention to detail and friendly service only enhance the overall atmosphere. The food presentation is absolutely stunning, as showcased in the images. The sushi platter features a vibrant array of nigiri and rolls, with beautifully arranged pieces of salmon, shrimp, tuna, and a colorful tamago, all atop perfectly shaped rice. The tempura dishes are equally impressive, with golden, crispy coatings and a generous drizzle of savory sauce that adds an enticing gloss. The rolls, adorned with sesame seeds and avocado, are a visual treat, reflecting the chef’s skillful artistry. As for the taste, it’s a true delight for the palate. The sushi is fresh and flavorful, with each bite offering a perfect balance of tender fish and seasoned rice. The tempura is light and crispy, paired wonderfully with the rich, tangy sauce that elevates every morsel. The combination of textures and tastes—smooth avocado, succulent seafood, and crunchy tempura—creates a harmonious and satisfying culinary experience. This restaurant truly excels in delivering high-quality food that looks as good as it tastes!

Really friendly service and delicious food! There are vegan options as well. We ordered the King Pao tofu and some veggie sushi. Everything was really fresh.

Fried rice is the best. Lemon chicken is also amazing! I enjoyed my dinner with family in this restaurant very much last night. Thank you.

The food was served fresh and was pretty good. We had ginger beef, edamame, mixed tempura, chicken skewers, gyoza, and a few different maki rolls with sake to drink. The food was prepared fresh and the ginger beef was great, the only thing I'd change about it is a little less sauce so it didn't pool at the bottom of the dish when you were getting to the end. The service was quite good. They refilled our drinks promptly, were pleasant to deal with, and even advised us that we might have ordered too much food even though it meant a bigger bill. I would recommend trying this place out.

Nice services, delicious foods. Free snacks will be provided if you leave them a comment on Google or rednote! Amazing restaurant

Food is amazing. There is nothing that I wouldn't have again. The Seasonal berry salad is my favorite. The tacos and Mac and Cheese are so good too. They have a large variety of drink selections and the Monte Cristo is a must as an after dinner drink.

The food was absolutely phenomenal, I got the Atlantic Salmon and best food I’ve ever had! The service was also very good and totally recommend going for special occasions like we did for our one year anniversary. The atmosphere was very good and it wasn’t too loud which was nice and it was a nice temperature inside as well!

Food and service are so worth coming here. Onion soup one of the best I've ever had. Mushroom ravioli perfect. The decor is quite plain. The lounge is awesome. Lots of sports on the many TVs.

Decent food and the staff is pretty good. Drinks are not too bad but the drink menu is limited. Great sized portions on the appetizers

Thank God for this restaurant as it was hard to walk anywhere to eat in this cold weather. Came to this restaurant for lunch and dinner and was surprised by the quality of food. Steak salad, garlic shrimp, and bison wasn't great but everything else we tried was good-fish and chips, burgers, soup. Soup of the day is different daily, price is fair. Restaurant was quite dark. Always had a spot to eat though which was helpful after day tours.

Flight home got canceled so ended up spending an extra night at Chateau Nova. We were hungry, tired, and cold. Stopped here for a meal as there wasn't any other options. We probably should have gotten out some warmer clothes and gone somewhere else. Service staff was good overall. They tried and were working together to make the best of it. Food was a disappointment. My wife's burger did not match the description in the menu. My soup was cold. I asked for it to be warmed up in the microwave. Took about 10 minutes to get my soup back and I think that the cooks simply let it sit under the heat lamp. When I got it back, plate was hotter than the soup. I ate it anyways as I was hungry and my wife had finished eating.

The decor is worn out and a bit dreary. One of our wine glasses had lipstick stain on it from a previous customer. My partner ordered a steak medium rare and it came very well done. They did correct the order but it meant that by the time he got his meal, the rest of the group was already done their meal. We ordered a 12 ounce steak but it was definitely not that. 8 ounces perhaps. I got a veggie burger and it was nothing special. It had a low quality soy-based burger instead of one of the better quality brands (like “beyond meat” burgers). For dessert, there was no vanilla ice cream left to go with the dish so our only other options were strawberry or chocolate. The ice cream was also low quality. It clearly came out of a large vat. I would have expected that kind of ice cream for a kids menu but not for the adult menu desserts. There was clearly nothing inspired about the meals. The one nice thing about our experience was our server. The place looked short staffed and she was clearly hustling for her tables. She did the best she could and was very pleasant. Overall it was a mediocre experience and in hindsight, I wouldn’t have brought our guests there for a nice dinner. Not going back.

This restaurant offers two distinct menus: one for lunch and another for dinner. If you’re planning to dine here, I highly recommend going for dinner as the selection is more extensive, particularly when it comes to main dishes. The ambiance is one of its highlights, with a cozy, dimly lit setting that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere—perfect for a romantic date or a special occasion. The menu leans heavily toward Italian cuisine, featuring pizzas, pastas, and steaks. The steaks are decent, but the pizzas truly stand out with their excellent flavor and quality. Portions are generous, which helps justify the higher price point, especially for Yellowknife standards. That said, I wish the menu offered a bit more variety to cater to different tastes. Despite this, it’s still a solid choice for a memorable dinner in Yellowknife. Whether you’re celebrating or just enjoying a night out with someone special, this place won’t disappoint.

One of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve ever had. A group of 6 of us went out for a late dinner. At first we were told that the kitchen wasn’t open (this was at 9pm, restaurant closes at 10pm). Then they said if we ordered quickly we could still get food. Great, we thought. We ordered a combination of appetizers and mains and asked for all food to come out together to help make it easier. It did not arrive at the same time, in fact one meal arrived over 25 minutes after the majority of the food had come. When the person asked for it to be cancelled since it wasn’t out yet, it was brought out right away. She asked for a discount due to the wait and the inconvenience, but that request was ignored. Some of the food was decent. The drinks were great, although they were not strong. The ceviche and mushroom risotto was quite good. One friend ordered a quinoa salad, it was a tiny serving (less than a starter size) and looked like mush thrown onto a plate. One friend was served chowder which she had to eat with a fork until a server came by and we could ask for a spoon. The chowder was ok, a bit bland but not the worst. The other salads that were ordered were large and very good. The Arctic char fish that was the last dish to be delivered was terrible. The servers were trying but it was very disorganized. Despite clearly explaining how we wanted the bill to be divided when we ordered it became very confusing for them to split so we just put it all on one bill and paid together. Overall I would not come to this restaurant again.

I just ordered the Chicken Mafalda from Copperhouse today and WOW — it was absolutely delicious! Having worked here before, I can confidently say Chef Fabrizio has taken the new menu to the next level. Honestly, this might be the best menu Copperhouse has ever had. I was there yesterday as well with my friends — we ordered mussels, cheese pizza, wild mushroom risotto, Alfredo chicken mafalda, and the smoked Hawaiian Huli-Huli chicken. Every single dish was bursting with flavour and cooked to perfection. Truly impressive! Even though the restaurant was busy, our server Krisha T took amazing care of us. She kept checking in, making sure we had everything we needed — her service was warm and attentive. Big shoutout to Tim for consistently making the best steaks and pastas in town, and to John — hands down the best bartender ! Also, a heartfelt thank you to Grandpa in the back — your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed. And finally, a huge thank you to owners Mark and Paul for building such a beautiful and welcoming restaurant here in Yellowknife. Copperhouse isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a full experience. Highly recommend everyone to try the new menu!

Okay, honest review. I tried making a reservation. The automated system when I phoned led to an answering machine. Shortly after, I received a text asking for details abt the reservation. I sent it off hoping for the best. I received another text from a different number saying "Unfortunately, we close our reservations for tonight. we recommend you make your reservation in advance. And you are welcome as a walk-in." It was a Sunday evening and we took our chances as a walk-in, but I was skeptical to go because of the text message. Who wants to drive across town with an infant only to be turned away?! That being said, we took our chances at 7:30 pm and there were lots of tables open and 3 tables filled. We were celebrating a birthday, so we were lucky we took the chance. Our server was super friendly and professional, and patient with our little one. He even grabbed us a high chair. The staff also made a special birthday cocktail which was nice. The food was top notch. I enjoyed the steak, while my wife enjoyed the pizza. (Our little one also enjoyed the pizza and sweet potato fries with balsamic glaze!). The atmosphere was perfect for a birthday, and the food matched the scene. If I had anything negative to say, it would be that the pricing was a little steep. I understand inflation, and I do work in the food industry, but with tip for Steak, Pizza, Fries, and one cocktail came to $127. It's a birthday and I could justify it, but it wouldn't be my first choice compared to other restaurants in Yellowknife based on price and quality. Overall a positive experience! If my review helps please leave a 👍 Cheers ! 🍻

Good food, good atmosphere. Tables aren’t too crowded. Our server was great and friendly; attentive, but not too much. Food was pretty good quality. Overall a good meal and experience. Would definitely recommend

1. Atmosphere: nice interior 2. Food: I asked to serve an appetizer, a pizza and a white fish all at once. Fish and pizza were not as hot as the appetizer (coliflower). Probably because they were cooked and waited until coliflower is ready..? 3. Service: I fell down right in front of the restaurant because of the thin ice. I told one of the server that I fell down and suggested to spray the salt. I was expecting him to say, "are you okay""we will spray the salt", he said, "no, it's too soon". Too soon for what? Then he finally went out to spray the salt or whatever only after he saw another customer, who came in after me, nearly fell down on the slippery ground.

In Yellowknife and looking for a classy atmosphere with good food? Copperhouse is your place! Very friendly staff, food is excellent and they offer some local choices (Bison etc). Highly recommend!

What an amazing hidden gem in Yellowknife! As a first-gen Korean who lived in Toronto for years, I honestly didn’t expect to find such authentic Korean flavors this far north. The owners are first-gen Koreans who moved here from Toronto and put so much heart into every dish. The kimchi jjigae tastes just like home, the bulgogi is tender and perfectly seasoned, and the banchan are fresh and generous. You can really feel the pride and warmth in their cooking and hospitality. So happy Yellowknife has this place! Highly recommend to anyone craving real Korean home cooking. 🇰🇷❤️

Korea House: A Taste of Korea in Yellowknife Yellowknife may have limited options for international cuisine, but Korea House is a gem that brings the warmth and comfort of authentic Korean dishes to the city—perfect for those long winters. The menu is filled with delicious options, and if you’re not a fan of spicy food, no worries! The staff is happy to adjust the spice level to suit your preferences. Portions are generous, making every dish well worth the price. My personal favorite is the Jeyuk Bokkeum—a flavorful, stir-fried pork dish that always hits the spot. Whether you’re craving a hearty Korean meal or looking to try something new, Korea House is a must-visit. It’s a reliable go-to for anyone seeking great Korean food in Yellowknife. Just a heads-up: they’re closed on Sundays, so plan your visit accordingly!

Wow I was not expecting to find such good Korean food on our visit to Yellowknife. I got the soft tofu stew, which is the perfect warm, hearty bowl of food needed on this cold winter day. I’m probably coming back tomorrow lol

I've never seen this kinda service. The way of their talking was extremely rude and they didn't welcome customers. My friends and I were waiting to order at the front but their staff was like "Sit down there". Then she tried to keep talking in Korean unpleasantly even all of my friends were not korean and told us pay for tips when we were about to pay. I visited here in the past. Hope their service has improved.

Really love this place. The two korean moms are really friendly but I get why some whose not used to asian parents might find them snobbish. Food taste authentic as someone who has gone to Korea. They serve really fast as well.

The food here is surprisingly good. I had the pork bibimbap and the meat was very good. The other toppings and the rice were well-done as well. The service was fast and workers were very friendly. The only thing I didn’t like about the atmosphere was that I was the only one there. I’ve also never been to Yellowknife before so I don’t know what food prices are like here but I felt like this meal was quite expensive. However, with the big portion and excellent taste, I’d definitely recommend Korea House.

Each meal was $20. We ordered the bulgogi and soft tofu stew (spicy). Both tasted authentic and delicious. We paid at the front and picked up. We weren’t expected to tip, the staff member bypassed that when she gave me the terminal. We observed a lot of locals and tourists came by. Overall good experience.

We really enjoyed our hot pots - a lot of flavour and fresh ingredients you cook yourself. I had the plain broth and took advantage of the spice bar. My partner's super spicy broth required none of that as it was potent enough to make both of us sweat. Overall a really fun experience I look forward to repeating!

Very friendly and tasty family-owned hot pot restaurant. At first I was suspicious because the review was not as good (for some reason only three stars), but I was glad that I gave it a try! I would recommend to order the spicy soup base with spice aside so you can choose how spicy you would like it to go. The fried white fish is a must try! Some people complaint that they cannot speak English, but their menu is in English and it’s very clear how to order! Their iPad menu is very user-friendly. As long as you have experience making online order, it’s the same - click the item you want and it goes to the shopping cart and show you the total of money you order. Most importantly, I lost my phone there with all of my cards and driver license inside, the owners helped me find it and were very understanding how panicky I was. Sincerely recommended!

An unique Chinese hotpot restaurant. You have to use their Samsung pad to order your food. It has a broth corner for different spicy sauces. The food is ok, but it's price is a bit high. In a cold town like Yellowknife, you don't have much choice. Unfortunately, they don't have a liquor license, it's sort of discourage to go to this hotpot restaurant. Don't you agree?

A unique outing for Yellowknife. Good experience to enjoy a long meal and actually have a conversation with whoever you go with. Recommend adding some garlic and cilantro to your broth for extra flavour.

Good but not great. Lots of options. You each get you own broth, spicy or not, then share meat, veggies and rice/noodles. Good amount of food for the price. Staff really nice and fast service. I just wish my broth was more flavourful and that they had a liquor license.. will go back

food is overpriced. boss is unfriend. the business hours on google map is wrong.it is so hard to boil the soup. Do not have lots of options for food.

This was better than expected. The food was super fresh and the broth, boiling hot. The broth was plain but for good reason. The sauce bar, filled with what seemed like 20-30 different sauces and accoutrements, allows you to experience a different flavour soup each time you fill your little eating bowl if you so desire. This would be a great place to go in the dead of winter to warm up. I just wish they had a liquor licence.

Such an incredible restaurant! I had the sauteed goat today and the meat was really tender. The blend of spices was phenomenal. Also, I think the rice was cooked in some kind of broth that made it taste delicious. The homemade hot sauce was the star of the meal. The owner told me she makes it fresh every morning. I highly suggest this restaurant!

Ordered the injera chicken for dinner. Love the chicken and the hot sauce. Injera was a bit dry for me. Restaurant has a nice ambient. You would not realized that it is in the basement with no windows. Very kid friendly. Saw many coloring pages on the wall. Will definitely visit again when I am in Yellowknife.

This is very nice family owned restaurant, the food is amazing with lots of flavor. I got the beef suqaar I would highly reccomend trying it.

There are a lot of options for excellent cuisine in Yellowknife, and Savannah's easily rises to the top of the pack. Each of the dishes our table tried were spectacular. Seriously try any of their Entrees and you won't be disappointed. Above all this though was the service. Full of cheer and radiating positivity. Made for a lovely dining experience

What a hidden gem this place is. Savannah is such a fantastic host. Very attentive to detail and super warm and friendly. Makes you feel like you’re at her home rather than a restaurant. The food is just bursting with flavour and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend stopping by for a wonderful meal served up by some lovely people.

I was reluctant to try this restaurant because it seemed to lack vegetarian options. I did try their main veggie option and it was delicious! The food was so flavorful and the portion was enough to make you comfortably full... I kept making sounds of enjoyment as I ate.. go there and support the local business ☺️

Savannah is so friendly and attentive. The service was top notch! Then to make our visit even better the food was great! We will definitely be back. So nice to have another family friendly restaurant here in Yellowknife

Don't expect high speed internet, more like minimum speed. Place had no microwave or mini fridge in the rooms. Just a bed, TV and table. Posting review to give awareness to others, as I went in blind with no reviews. The only good thing I can say is the washrooms were nice.

Beautiful and modern facility. I loved all the old Yellowknife photos through out the place. I didn't think much about the television offerings, good thing I had my own online accounts to use.

Auntie said it's not recomended. No fridge, no coffee pot, no microwave, no ice machine in building, and took forever to get hot water. Was not impressed.

So far so good

I ordered a Bison burger. It was a st.Patrick Day. I wanted to celebrate it here with their live music performance. Although the taste of french fries were too salty, the burger was good in that the bison meats is exceptional and unique. It was cooked very well. But i will no longer come back here because the staffs didn’t welcome at all. They just looked busy,but I don’t think they have no time to take care of a customer. When I just asked the seat I want, a server who looked like Asian told me I can have a seat wherever I want. However after that, probably Canadian man server shouted me a bit aggressively and he didn’t say any explanations , just he seriously required “ No!!!!! Just a counter if you are alone!!!!!” It made me confused sadly. I just asked him friendly what I wasn’t familiar with this pub, because it was first time to come in this pub. Additionally I understood they were busy and what he thinks for organizing their operations, but this is a customer service at least. my point is he shouldn’t have shouted any customers if he is a server officially. I was totally okay to have a seat at the counter, of course. His behavior was just so uncomfortable. Seems that they just worked to make a profit without caring customers. If they just do it, it would be same as McDonald’s, or less. I expected this pub was not like that because it was local. Also, another employee who works for here recommended me friendly to have an experience. I don’t say they should serve like a fancy restaurant, but they should recognize the experience there must be exceptional and memorable FOR CUSTOMERS, also it doesn’t matter whether the customer cane from the local or the international. It was genuinely disappointing to have my order at a counter alone after he shouted me, despite their food is pricey and fancy. If you are not familiar with Pub, I genuinely don’t recommend this pub at all, because the quality of their service and the price of their food. The server who shouted me at the beginning probably might say some excuse unfortunately… But he should notice this is a place any customers should be happy with you. I don’t like this pub even if the food is tasty,unfortunately. Why I became to be so sad with the fancy burger, gorgeous vibes at the pub, and good music performance in this day? Hope the owners will make some effort to make it better. Thanks.

We didn't experience any of the issues some reviewers seem to have trouble with. The service was just fine, our waitress was very nice. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. We had the Deep Fried White Fish, which is the special on Fridays. It was nice and flaky and while the Haddock is cheaper and a larger portion, the White Fish is locally sourced and the Haddock is not. We also had The Works Poutine, which was super tasty. I would eat here again without a second thought. However, if the owner happens to read this.. a "Please Seat Yourself" sign might be needed, as we did stand at the front like knobs for a couple minutes waiting to be seated, since we didn't know.

As someone who appreciates a good tavern, pub or taphouse, this was a nice find. Staff was great.

Best bar in Yellowknife! Love their bison burger and they have a decent selection on tap.

visited at lunch after holidays, atmosphere was great and Yellowknife locals were familiar but servers were too busy to checkout my bill. Foods were so good and I think it’s best burger meal I’ve eat at Yellowknife downtown.

The beer was cold and the waitress was excellent plus very informative. As it turned out the Black Knight seemed to be a very popular spot with the locals as the crowd increased in time. Compared with some other places in Old Town the prices were more reasonable for beer and food. As a bonus, we happened to be there at the same time that the band The Sheepdogs were practicing upstairs. They were in Yellowknife for a show later that evening upstairs and the sound was great downstairs in the bar. As for food the onion rings were good, unfortunately the chicken wings tasted like they had freezer burn. All in all a very pleasant experience.

The Black Knight is a great place to go to grab a drink or have a meal in a relaxed, comfortable environment. The food is excellent and the service is always top-notch, though it can be difficult to find parking.

Amazing service, spacious, good food. Got the beer flights. Lime chicken wings were great! Their brisket dish was simply perfect. Good quantity, great taste. A great spot in the area for sure and if you are visiting you should definitely stop by.

Food was delicious! Loaded fries hit the spot, crispy chicken burger slapped and the house salad was spot on. Cocktails were also brilliant! Just make sure to get here a little earlier as it gets busy on Fri and sat nights. Service could have been better but again, it was very busy so they did their best :)

Now that’s how you pour a pint! I had the pleasure of being served by Michelle, she’s AWESOME! I had never been here before and I was so excited. I’m a home brewer and had loads of questions about the beer. Michelle answered all of them, she even let me sample a few before I committed to a pint of their bent prop Pilsner (which was super crushable). The steak and fries were mighty fine too. Overall excellent experience with Michelle being the highlight! I highly recommend!

Great spot in Yellowknife! We came here twice during our stay and it was excellent both times. Nice assortment of beers, though they are rotating taps so the menu is a bit inconsistent with what’s available. As starters the trout ceviche and brussel sprouts were both solid dishes. For mains, we had the donair plate which was exceptional flavours, the burger was solid, friend chicken sandwich was a knock out, and mac and cheese (with addition of pulled pork) was tasty. Service is good too! We went on a Thursday and Saturday during peak dinner times and didn’t have to wait more than 15mins either time.

Ordered way too much food but needed to try everything. Wow! Amazing food! Was getting busy when we arrived but service was great. Very attentive, friendly, and quick. Naturally, you need to graph a beer!

I gave this beer a 5. Because they strive for perfection, I usually give them a 4. The beer lacks malt roasting, resulting in a light, watery mouthfeel. However, the aroma is excellent, and the IBU(bitter unit) is generally high for me. Despite this, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the vegetables were cooked perfectly. I highly recommend this place.

Highlight food and drink wise of our trip in Yellowknife, we went back twice in two days! The oatmeal porter was delicious and this is from a non beer drinker! We were lucky to try their burger for burger week, omg it was delightful, the pork belly and burger blended so well. All the staff were friendly and fun, we had such a great time! They have kid free hours too which is cool if you want to bring your tot.

Went to the 2025 soft opening. I had the Shankys Whip with cream, let me tell you that drink takes strong perseverance to drink, delicious but strong. The pork hash was simply tasty, the breakfast sandwich is so filling, like a 3 course meal. I can't wait to go back when the full menu is available.

We were so happy to eat here after a 9 hr drive. We had the prospector board and the morrel mushrooms. It was divine! This was the best canadian food I have ever had. Canada is more than poutine! I want to bring the chef back to my home town to show them what Canadiana food is really like. Even my teenagers where happy with the food. It was nice to hear so many languages at this place.

Great little place with history. Built in 1935, now is a summer time restaurant. Place was clean with spotless washrooms. Sat outside and saw the beginning of a sunset over the lake. The fish dip was good, but their fried fish dinner was excellent! Service was great! Young man that served us was very attentive. I recommend you five this little eatery a try!

Excellent food! Freshly made with obvious love of culinary delight. The coffee was well brewed which is always a perfect bonus. The service staff are kind and diligent. The log cabin is cosy and with the food being so good, it makes it hard to leave. Plan on ordering multiple items to share if possible because the entire menu is definitely amazing!

I loved my dinner, it was delicious, local and the wait staff were so friendly!

Vibrant spot. Stopped by for a quick snack. Got coffee and bannock. Simple and great.

The cafe had a really beautiful view. At first, I thought $10 for a pie was a bit expensive, but it was almost the size of two women’s palms and tasted great, so I was satisfied. I wanted to go back again, but unfortunately, it was closed on Monday and Tuesday, which was a bit disappointing.

Great food, very flavorful curried goat and stew beef kikl. I ate everything including the veggies (I normally don’t like to eat carrots)

Fantastic meal! Not super cheap, but the servings are large and the flavours are incredible

The food was good but the service was bad. They didn't let us order curry goat / curry lamb, but let the guests who came later than us order curry goat / curry lamb.

An absolutely splendid meal! Had the goat curry and oregano tea and loved every bite and sip!

Delicious food and good atmosphere to this place. Really enjoyed the goat curry and my fam enjoyed their food as well (chicken curry, beef special, and a lentil dish). Would recommend it for a good meal. Portion size was large and none of us could finish before getting full.

Went for lunch even though we're not very hungry but wanted to try the food. Wrong move - the food was amazing but the portion size is just too big! I think the portion size works for two moderately hungry people. I ordered the curry chicken and rice platter which comes with a vegetable salad. The food is very flavoursome and irresistible. Warning, if you feel the food is hot don't try the sauce/chutney served with the platter thinking it'll make things cooler - it's HOT!😁 I also tried some stuff from the Mahiberawi Combination that my friend got and instantly regretted that I didn't get it. I'd totally try that with rice!

Still my go-to place in Yellowknife after 6 years! The owners are nice and food is tasty. Cute decors in the restaurant. Convenient location.

So much for holiday hours. At 8:43am december28 and it’s closed, sign said open 8am on Dec 28

It’s an ordinary place that meets the expectations you’d have for a fast food chain. The staff aren’t exceptionally friendly, but they’re always ready to respond well when you make a request or ask a question.

Good breakfast option for those staying in downtown Yellowknife. Everything was good - orange juice and coffee fine. Toast, sausage, hash browns, eggs were good. Bacon was crispy but thin. Orange and grape jam were available. Some homeless folks wandering in and out but I think it’s par for the course in a small town with -20C temps. I’m kinda glad they weren’t automatically kicked out just.

This is the most useless A&W I’ve ever been to in my life. How do you a) not know how to adjust your opening and and closing times on DoorDash b) clean your grill 30 min before closing for the veggie/impossible side of the grill c) ask us if we want a beef burger instead. incompetent and useless

Had the chicken habanero burger, the papa burger and the poutine. The poutine was horrible, seemed it was insufficiently reheated. The two burgers were delicious. Your order gets prepared quickly. Service is pleasant and efficient.

Taste is good 😋 Free WiFi working But there are many homeless... Unfortunately ☹️

Best burger joint in the city, to say the least. My only problem is the homeless hang around the front entrance, or sometimes in the restaurant itself, when security is busy elsewhere. Other than that, the staff at this location definitely deserve raises for dealing with that crowd. And the food is always hot and fresh and correctly made for when I order.

So I came here with a small group of business associates based upon a local's recommendation. So glad that I ate here. So glad that I went back for a second time, my last night in Yellowknife. Gotta make sure that your last supper is AMAZING! Boy was it amazing! Staff is extremely friendly. Owner, who is also the primary server, makes you feel welcomed and appreciated. Food is well prepared and on point! All prices very reasonable for North and South of 60. While they appear to have a typical steakhouse menu, things are locally sourced where possible and have a local twist. Rib eye is bison, bread is bannock, seafood chowder is arctic char. They even paired up with the local brewery to create their own pilsner. This restaurant is heavily involved in supporting community and local youth groups. Specific menu items are tied to local fundraising efforts making everything a win-win. Good food and you are supporting a local cause. With their menu combined with supporting local programs, they bring "buy local" and "buy Canadian " to a whole new level. Love it! The next time that I am in Yellowknife, Coyotes will be on my list of places to eat. Perhaps I should shut up and keep this jewel of Yellowknife to myself.

This is a place in Yellowtown where you can enjoy delicious, high-quality food. The plate, featuring buffalo steak and salmon steak, is generous and serves up a variety of local specialties. It's not too salty and delicious. It seems like a popular spot for tourists seeking to see the aurora.

Ed the owner is very friendly & knowledgeable about Yellowknife. Great service, food was amazing. We tried the escargot, stuffed lobster, chowder soup, bison soup, surf & turf and everything was so delicious!!! Ed also recently had his own beer made called the Coyote’s Pilsner..great beer!!!! Definitely would go again and a must stop for people visiting Yellowknife. We need more restaurants and Ed’s like this in the world. Thanks again Ed.

I love this place- I ALWAYS come here whenever i’m in town and it never misses! It hits every time! Everything about this place is a 10/10, the food, the service, and the vibe haha. The owner Ed is so nice! He never fails to make you feel welcomed and goes above and beyond to make sure your time spent is worth it! The mojitos and delicious food here always keep me coming back to this wonderful place:) Should definitely check it out if you haven’t yet!

Reasonable pricing, clean dining environment, welcoming waitress, generous portions, good seasoning. Will definitely visit again for its biggest ribs in town

The best food we have in Yellowknife! The buffalo rib eye and ribs are the best! Must come if u are in Yellowknife 👍🏻 The special beer is also great! Tasty 👍🏻

We stopped in for a late supper. We had Arctic Char Bites, Stuffed Yorkshire, Prime Rib Surf and Turf and Classic Ribeye. We don’t get to Yellowknife often but Ed remembered us from his previous locations. Ed really pays attention to the guests and was even passing on his knowledge to other employees giving them tips on how to better serve guests. The food was fantastic and so was the service. We also love that Ed supports the NWT SPCA. I saw a recent post where he was donating money from the sales of the surf and turf, their limited edition beer and even donating $5 per post of people’s dogs. Way to go Ed.

Just stopped in for a pint. Nice spot, chill pub vibe, friendly clientele.

Great bar, no food Kitchen permanently closed but they allow outside food. Bar still pretty great and lots of TVs for sports.

The Monkey Tree single handedly showcasing how far they've fallen in the past 3 years. That's what happened tonight. Once in a blue moon I like coming here with friends to drink, dance, and generally try to have a good time. The servers and bartenders? Amazing. They always are. The bouncers? Barely legal and incompetent. Tonight I witnessed 2-3 bouncers hound the smoke pass gentleman/bouncer for giving out 1 ticket for more than 2 guests. usually? It's not a problem. I have no problem lining up outside again, if the service is right. All of these bouncers are new. If you're gonna enforce a policy on customers then train your employees to follow that policy, instead of swearing/cussing out innocent paying customers into leaving. It wasn't just me, it was groups of people given one or two tickets to smoke and then being sent away by the 2 bouncers harassing the initial, clearly undertrained bouncer. Absolutely pathetic service, and I won't be coming back.

Daven the new bouncer is terrible at his job, he was flirting with me after I continuously said no, he needs to be let to

Great place to unwind over a beverage. Although, food is not available for sale, you can order in.

This is a great pub. The staff are friendly and I met some fun people. There are daily food & drink specials. They have a pool table and a great, beautiful, sun drenched patio.

Great place to eat and drink. Staff are awesome. Great night on a Saturday.

Unfortunately, 3 of our 5 items we ordered they got wrong, but since there was no sit down options to eat at, we didn't know until we walked back to our place about 15 minutes away. Two were not the wraps we ordered and the third was a different donut than what we ordered which I suppose we could have seen that before we left and corrected them, but the wraps are not possible to tell until you bite into them. Not much we could do about it at that point.

After waiting for 15 min for a mobile order and listening to screaming and slurs finally got the order that was already made and under the counter. The Timbits where stale and rock solid as well the Jelly had turned black from sitting in the glass case for who knows how long just disgusted by this tims. But at least the staff was smiling.

Last week I ordered two bacon and egg english muffins and it cost me just over $10. Today, I ordered one bacon and egg english muffin and it cost me $8.69. Not sure what is going on at this location but it will be the last time I ever buy from them. There is no rhyme or reasoning to their pricing. Unreal. And the manager argues with you justifying charging almost $10 for one small English muffin which he said was special. It wasn't. It was one little english muffin, and egg and one tiny piece of bacon. He tried to tell me it was a bagel and when I said I did not order a bagel he changed his tune. Unreal.

Quick coffee and breakfast grab-and-go. No dine-in area and perhaps located in a little sketchy mall but coffee is hot and food is ok. Parking on street or the mall parkade for a speedy pick up. No bathroom is associated so you may need to find and use the one in the mall.

Purchase a medium coffee this morning just 3/4 cup. I wonder why we have to paid a full price? Service and staff is not consistence, no smile or greeting this morning.

No seats, but the staff are friendly and the drinks come out very quickly.

I love this Tim Hortons, but I will like to have a place to sit and enjoy my coffee or food. Good spot and easy to access

The food here is really terrible. The noodles are completely tasteless, and all the fried items are coated in corndog batter. The wonton soup is so salty that it’s inedible. The only things that are somewhat okay are the stir-fried vegetables, shrimp, pineapple, and Jell-O. Don’t be fooled by the appearance of the noodles—you might end up feeling really frustrated.

If you want to try Chinese or Hong Kong style food in Yellowknife, this is the best one. The taste of cuisine is very closed to local Hong Kong food. Service is excellent. Highly recommend salty fish with chicken fried rice, beef fried noddles, sweet and sour pork..etc.

They were super nice and polite. For some reason the wontons taste similar to the terrible Ginger beef I think it's cuz they don't change their oil cuz it's the aftertaste I was really hesitant on getting the food cuz the last review I saw the guy said the spring rolls we're tasteless turns out he's right and he got food poisoning which I don't know if that's true the food only took 10 minutes you can tell they just care about the money and I don't believe most of these five star reviews are real I know a lot of restaurants that take it sad to say both times being here were terrible dine-in and dine out neither were good I'd rather go to the other Chinese restaurant it's crazy that there's no food standards here in Yellowknife don't get the poutine or the wontons KD & wieners is a lot better

I rarely leave negative reviews but this expwrience deserves mention and warn to others! The food tasted stale and seemed like prepared overnight and reheated! The flavors were taste bad and not freshly prepared. For the prices they charge, we would expect much bettee quality and hygiene! Overall a very disappointed meal and spoiled my day! I would not recommend this restaurant if you deserve about freshness abd good taste of so called family cooked meals :((

This was then worst tasting pork spare ribs. It tasted bland and smell fresh. It’s as though they took it from freezer did no washing and threw it in the fryer. Just see the pics. I threw it all in the garbage

Friend asked to take me to Mark's and I was happy to finally go there yesterday. It's kind of hidden as the doorway to get in looks like an electrical unit. But the door is to the left of the sign, then you down some stairs and the entrance is immediately to your left. Place could seat around 40 to 50 people, all open concept with a small/limited bar and a buffet section. The buffet is only open for supper on Friday and Saturday. We were quickly seated as we arrived early, around 5pm. Decided on their egg roll and Combo A, which was Chicken Fried rice and Sweet & Sour Ribs. Egg roll arrive hot and fresh pretty quickly. It is more batter dough then crispy eggs roll that I personally am used to. Was tasty but nothing exceptional. We both ordered the same combo, it was quite a large portion for the price. I saw some egg in the fried rice but honestly, saw no chicken. The ribs were tasty too, small pieces that fell off the bone. Here is the issue….I had made a dent into my food, say about ⅓ when I picked up some food and found a long, black hair within my meal. This was not mine and I immediately lost my appetite on the spot. I pushed my plate away and when the server, who I believe is the owner walked past, I showed him my meal and he took it away and tossed it in the used plate container. He did not take it back to the kitchen to show the staff. My friend, who I was dining with also lost her appetite. She questioned what might be in her food too. She ate about 5 bites after my discovery and then asked for the rest to go. As she put her meal into a to go dish, she inspected everything. Should have asked her today if she ate the leftovers or just tossed it out. As we sat, one of the staff from the kitchen came out to the dining room. She had long, black hair and was not wearing a hair net. I’ve worked in the food industry for 7 years previously, and hair nets were a must in the kitchen. When it came time to pay, my meal was free whereas my friend’s was not. Not sure what the practice is for that, it varies from restaurant to restaurant. What I can say is that I will choose to take my business elsewhere. My meal was covered; however knowing that they are not as concerned about safe food practice, does not sit well with me. ***Was going to take a picture of the hair while in my food, but was honestly soo turned off from the sight, I could not look at it anymore. But my friend saw it too, and when I showed it to the server/owner I was discreet about it.***

So, you go down the interestingly located cinder block shack and down to the basement where the restaurant is, and you’ll find a pretty standard westernized Chinese restaurant. If you want to have your fix of regular rice and simple dishes, here’s where to go, but keep your expectation low. Because you are not going to find extraordinary things. Staff is quite friendly though. Parking you might need to park on the street or the mall parking lot.

Enjoyed the fully loaded pizza, would never have done shrimp on my pizza but wow it was great. The location is best as a pick up location but the food is good.

So the wings and fries were pretty awesome and the staff was super nice. I would give the wings and spicy fries 4/5 out of 5. However the coconut shrimp was definitely horrible and deserves a negative review. The coconut shrimp is not actually shrimp. They are lying to customers. It is fish disguised to look like shrimp. In my photos I tried to remove the batter as best I could to show it’s fish under not shrimp. There is absolutely no shrimp in the coconut shrimp. They didn’t even mix the shrimp with flour or fish to make it partially true. Instead they shaped fish like a butter shrimp would shape and selling it for a lot of money. I feel completely ripped off and unfortunately no matter how much I enjoyed their wings. I will not be banning them for life.

Great if you love trying local pizzas and don’t want to eat at the national chain pizzas. Will make the pizza as you ask and tastes great!

I better not add any photos though. Only thing telling me it offers pizza was the smell. Very good pizza!

Good food at a great price.

Bruno's has good pizza and even better service!

I love brunos pizza the guy has been in yk forever great integrity and longtime yellowknife friendliness thank you brunos

Went in at 8pm on a Friday to get a sub. I was greeted by a young Asian guy with glasses who had is mouth jammed full of food to the point he couldn’t talk. But this didn’t stop him from trying, he was making sounds trying to talk but food was falling out of his mouth. The grossest part was standing at the sandwich counter making orders. When we finally swallowed enough of the food he managed to say “we’re closed, it’s online orders only” but that was fine as I had lost my desire to eat there after seeing that anyway.

No Swiss cheese and no southwest sauce. Won't be a future customer no more. Plus no more u cut like original subway years ago. They say to make it simpler but they destroyed what once was amazing and why people wanted to have subway. No thanks subway. Next time Quizznos

Terrible service and zero responsibility. My order was mistakenly set as “pick up” instead of delivery, I called several times and the manager refused to give me a refund because “he would lose the sale.” I had to place another order just to eat. Went in person and they told me the manager had left and once he goes out, no one knows when is he going to be back again. Never ordering here again.

Ordered 30 sandwiches at 2 PM and went to collect them at 5 PM. However, only four sandwiches were ready. I asked them how much longer it would take, and they said 5:30 or 5:40 PM. They then told me, “You should’ve called earlier.” I was shocked and asked, “What did you just say?” I told them, “You should have said no if you couldn’t complete the order on time.” I waited for 30 minutes, watching them take more orders from other customers and make their sandwiches instead of completing mine. After another 10 minutes, they forgot one sandwich and one bowl from my order. I had to remind them to make it. They only made one sandwich and told me, “You just ordered four bowls.” I told them to check the receipt, which clearly showed my full order. When I pointed this out, an Asian girl named Jenya handed me the receipt and said, “You can check it yourself,” before turning around to take another customer’s order. I was frustrated and said to her, “You should’ve apologized in the first place.” She replied, “For what?” I said, “For the delay” She responded, “I got your order at the last minute, so it’s not our fault. I don’t need to apologize.” They had three hours to complete my orders. The delay was frustrating, especially since they kept taking more orders from other customers, which only made my wait longer. On top of that, Jenya refused to take responsibility or acknowledge the issue. This entire experience was infuriating. The delay, their refusal to take responsibility, and their decision to keep taking more orders only made things worse. Jenya’s dismissive attitude and lack of accountability were the final straw. Please wake up and do better.

Food was fine. But an Indian lady working there on 10th December around 14:00 was on a phone while making my sandwich so we had zero conversation, she just gestured me, and even missed my order. She ended up putting jalapenos which I'm sensitive to even I told her not to put it. I gave her $16 but when I got my receipt, it says she got $15.

lying about hours do not come after 8. better to not come at all as staff are generally unclean and unwilling to give an ounce of human effort if not in their personal interest to be kind.

Not inexpensive. Fast food is not much cheaper or not cheaper than a sit-down restaurant.

Food is ordered from the restaurant across the street and sold here. I got the mango chicken and it was room temperature and took 50 minutes. It is meant to be a hot dish. The place smelled of old beer and the pool table is warped. At least service was ok. They had the audacity to ask if I wanted another beer when my food was cold.

Not a good place for a beer.. barman unpolite and no options for a beer.. very expensive and bad beer.. never more.. And it has nothing irish bar..

It's pretty run down, in need of a good cleaning and some renovations. Wouldn't eat here because of the lack of cleanliness.

A really great place to hunker down and get to the bottom of a whiskey glass. The atmosphere is casual, friendly and comfortable. The music is good and the the conversations lively.

This hole in the wall could use some decorating. Nice staff but the atmosphere is desperate, like a barfly hangout right out of one of Charles Bukowski's stories. UPDATE: They have excellent taste in music. They had a great live rock n roll band last night.

Good service and friendly staff. This a bar, not pub. As far as I'm aware they do not serve food, though they tried at one point using the restaurant upstairs' kitchen to fulfill their orders.

My Spouse and I walked in, walked in the establishment, Walked the table across the Bar, And about a minute half walking in, we we’re promptly lead out the bar without cause, in which we know they can do, but the off duty barman had kicked us out immediately, and then the active barmaid had done so as well, but i felt very uncomfortable the manner in which they did, We had not started drinking nor had we done anything to impair our ability to think it through, but the thing that had gotten to me most is he had made a “Ahahm” noise as he had closed the door on us, this was the manager mind you. I just hate the fact we we’re banned so publicly and so, Especially without cause or causing any disruptive behaviours, to me that’s my first interaction of this sorts, especially my first interaction with a Yellowknife Bar ‘er.

The portions of food were tiny. The picture with the fork are all the bones and fat that were in the lamb curry. The chicken was dry and over cooked. The rice was overcooked and tasteless. The butter chicken wasn't too bad except there wasn't much chicken. The samosa were identical to the ones that you can buy in the supermarket and they didn't give us the sauce for the samosas Total bill $70.00. Luckily we had our own Naan bread that we filled up on because this is an absolute joke

A medium pizza plus 3 cans of pop $35 bucks....I know it's not cheap in YK but this business has everything to make a great pizza and it fails. The dough is thin, and undercooked, that glues to the box, no flavor from cheese or sauce or veggies. Sausage is hot dog meat...I wanted to support local, unfortunately, I won't be coming back to this pizza shop, and no, I do not recommend it.

I got the chicken tikka, samsoas, garlic bread, and kebab pizza. The chicken tikka tasted like somebody had smoked it in hookah. It was absolutely awful. Couldn't eat more than a few bites. The kebab pizza was plain and boring. I don't think there was any seasoning. Awful as well. The samosas tasted similar to pumpkin pie or a clove flavour. The garlic bread was good, but it's garlic and bread. Absolutely not worth the price. If you want pizza order dominos. If you want indian - stay away from this place.

Best pizza I’ve ever had. No cheese to mask flavours but good stone baked pizza. The owner served us and treated us like guests. Very friendly and kind gentleman. The food was beyond delicious, great quality and timely. We are going’s to be in YK for three more days and we will definitely stop by again before we leave, hopefully three more times!

First and last time. Walked in, one person working making pizza, felt uncomfortable, rushed, person said be right with you. Another staff member walked in off the street, took my order straight away but did not wash her hands, lucky she put plastic gloves on, very flustered looking for sauces, running to backroom for supplies, person was certainly not in order to be serving anything just yet at 11:46am. Ordered 1 small and 1 large donair and got a meat lovers pizza slice to go. Pizza was not good, crust was very chewy, pizza sauce was o.k. I guess, something on the pizza taste off. Had a hard time watching the person making donair's, sandwich board was old, outdated, very hard to see the toppings, no mention of additional toppings like cheese I saw after the fact, cheap. Large donair was $12.40=tax, small was $8.88, EXPENSIVE for what you receive! Pizza slice was way over priced for the size of slice and the amount of toppings. I will not be going back here anytime soon, so I hope you take my advice on this one. This place that just opened a couple of years ago needs an upgrade and not just the equipment either, some help would be where I would start at.

I don’t normally give reviews on bad food because no one is prefect and sometimes mistakes happen but this meal push me to the limit first problem was the packaging of the food the condiments was all over my meat and veg and some stuck to the top of the foam box as you can see in picture next time plz to add condiments on the side in a separate container...My lady doesn’t eat beef I order 2 chicken samosas 2 beef samosas and 2 vegetable samosas they were place in three separate bags which great but there wasn’t anything on the bag to identify the beef from the chicken or vegetable samosas so I had to be bitting through them to tell which is which come on now have to do better than that........taste of the food I’ll give it a 6.5 out of 10 which work down to a 2star from me for $54.00 have to do better

Horrible business. The good is okay. Watching the staff argue and the manager repeatedly asking what everyone ordered is a sign the business doesn't run properly. For a place that seems to be ready to serve lunch they we're not. I'll gravitate to other businesses rather than sit in that awkward restaurant. No music. Poor design. Uncertainty of when the food would be ready. I asked for takeout. It shouldn't have been that confusing. On the plus side the butter chicken was hot and fairly tasty. Wish there was on option to make it spicy.

What a joke of a place this has become.... I went with the best intentions for my girlfriend's birthday to get us wings and as least hers got sauce like it was supposed to.... I call and ask the lady if there is a reason they didn't put barely any on mine and my gfs has lots and they said well we put one scoop on each.... This is beyond a joke. I'll have to scrape my girlfriend's sauce after she's done eating. Won't ever order again from here ever! Waste of time and money. Don't bother.

was at the store tonight, ordered pizza and chicken wings. When I got home, I was surprised why the chicken wings was wrapped in a Coop plastic bag. Why? Are you using used plastic bags? The store was already closed so I just throw the chicken. I want a refund. Please return my money. This is so unhealthy practice. I am not sure why your staff is doing this. My order #138. Call me, if I do not hear from you, I will call City Health. Terri

Over $60 for 1 medium, 3 topping stuff crust pizza and a cinnamon roll. Nope! Fresh slice has way better pizza and priced right!!

The up charges this location uses since it is Yellowknife make a place you cannot afford regularly. Two regular size pizzas over $50.00. Staff are great. Low rating on Atmosphere due to it being a pick up only location.

Pizza was okay. Staff rip you off. Save your money, go elsewhere. Unfortunately for pizza hut, the sour taste left after this visit will affect all future visits to any location for myself.

They up charge on the deals advertised on their website and pizza hut app. Terrible customer service. $15 large pizza deal came to $28 as the toppings somehow costed $13. Would not recommend.

Scam of a place. Online it says pizza of the day is 10.99. But when you go here its miraculously $18.00. Scummy and a scam. Never order here

Okay. You must come here. We have to keep them open and successful. Their food is amazing. Everything is simply incredible. Wow. Try the butter chicken platter. Try the samosa topped with various sauces and vegetables. Try everything. So good. Must come back. Update: chicken is so tender and moist, which is hard to do in a thick sauce. It is cooked perfectly. The tamarind sauce for the samosas is so thick and flavour is so strong it’s amazing— most places water the sauces down to stretch them out, but not Bluebell. Here everything tastes fresh and the flavours punch your mouth in an incredible way. I still highly recommend this place when you are in Yellowknife. It is hidden on the second floor of a building with a small wooden door leading to the stairs. Do yourself a favour and find it. Go up those stairs and treat yourself to flavour bombs where everything is magnificent.

This is a comfortable place in Yellowknife. During our 3 days stay in the town, we visited this restaurant every day😋 Every food tastes good, and especially we loved Fish Fritters(fish was really tender and delicious), Indo-Chinese Fried Rice(we felt a bit chili-hotter than other dishes) and Falooda(good taste with rose flavor). The gravy of Chicken Changezi is also tasty with creamy and deep flavor. The drink menu is nice too.

Big problem of this restaurant is the door entrance of building to second floor was too tight and hard to open it. (I’d seen their ‘OPEN’ sign but it would feel closed. I’d ordered lamb curry meal at lunch, it was good and cocktail was good too. Friendly server and atmosphere was pretty good for travellers want a meal at the downtown Yellowknife.

Bluebell Eatery has the best Indian cuisine and one of the best menus in all of Yellowknife! They have put serious effort into creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in their restaurant and they have made this space vibrant again. The owners and management are always looking for ways to improve their offerings and even host special events/theme nights at their establishment. Bluebell is no longer a hidden gem and the word is out, so do yourself a favour and try it for yourself! 😌

Delicious and reasonably priced food. The butter chicken platter was delicious. It was kind of odd that the salad didn’t come with dressing though.

Fantastic food, polite staff. Our food came decently quick, was fresh and hot! Will recommend this place to friends and family.

Great space, nice decor, good variety on the menu. Got butter chicken pasta, it was surprisingly pretty good. Also got the falooda which was nice. A good spot overall.

There was only one person working there, first he told me to sit down because he had to clean the counter. When I returned twenty minutes later he flat out refused to take my order, saying he had too many orders on the go. We watched him do it to several other people as well.

Black angus steak sandwich was delicious. Store was clean and service was quick. Bread was fresh!

Quiznos is good when the service is good, the place is clean and you feel welcomed but This place is going down hill. The store is always dirty when we come here, and they take forever to help you. My family used to like coming to Quiznos but there needs to be some serious changes.

Went for lunch with my family, and the line to order seemed a little awkward to order, but we got our orders. The cleanliness of the place wasn't the greatest. Our table was very dirty, you could tell it hasn't been cleaned in a long time. The restaurant itself didn't seem to clean either. I've been here before, and I enjoyed it then, I figured it would be a nice stop for lunch, but it wasn't the greatest. The food was good. Salad lettuce tasted a bit old. I doubt I'll return.

Coming from Vancouver Island where they closed down 90% of the Quiznos and all of them in my town. I was thrilled there is one here in YK. Also it is just like I remember . We go here occasionally for a nice lunch. The food is great, the staff are friendly. The dining area is a but rough and dated but as long as there's a clean table to eat at I can't really complain.

Great food. Oh man. Such yummy food. But there was like only one person running the orders and sandwiches and payment at the time. They need more staff. But other than that, everything is clean, food tastes great. Good stuff.

In my home town, quiznos closed. So I am happy there is one here. Never had a bad sandwich here, also soup and chili is yummy. The weekend guy is so nice, as we get a sandwich usually on the weekend and he makes a delish sub!!

Visited this establishment twice and food is consistently delicious. If you are in Yellowknife and craving for Filipino food this is absolutely the place to be. All food I ordered tasted like home.

Absolutely a hidden gem! We had authentic Philippine food there. I ordered milkfish with Java rice and also tried my friends’ pork, chicken, and soup dishes. We even went there twice! The chef’s wife was very kind, and her service was excellent. It’s such a pity they are closing soon—only until this Friday.

Filipino and Western cuisine. Sports bar feel, with TVs, pool table, and then, of course, a karaoke setup. Food was good. My mom really liked the pancit. I had a burger. They seemed to do a lot of takeout so even if the restaurant was quiet, like it was when we were there, there was a bit of a wait for the food. Soft drinks were refillable. Service was good.

Now I know a spot to get my Filipino food fix when I am in Yellowknife. I was wanting Filipino styled breakfast and went for the bangsilog! Craving satisfied! Thanks Rodil. Will return whenever I am back in Yellowknife.

My boyfriend and I visited this place on a Sunday afternoon at 1:00 PM. It wasn’t very crowded, but the staff was incredibly friendly. The portions were very large, and the menu featured a fusion of Eastern and Western dishes. Overall, the experience was quite good. Here’s what we ordered: Bangsilog ($19.95): This dish consists of fried milkfish, served with some vegetables, two sunny-side-up eggs, Java rice, and a sauce made of something similar to fish sauce and vinegar. The overall taste was mild. Although the milkfish isn’t locally sourced, I was really craving fish, so I ordered this dish. If you’re sensitive to the fishy taste, I wouldn’t recommend this dish. Bison Burger w/ Fries ($19.95): The bison meat is on the tougher side since bison doesn’t have much fat. This dish was pretty tasty—after all, it’s hard to go wrong with a burger, lol. Halo-halo: I didn’t see this dessert on the menu, but I found it mentioned in some Google reviews, so I decided to try it. The ube flavor was very strong and delicious, and the ingredients were generous. I highly recommend giving this dessert a try.

I ordered the pork adobo on rice, my boyfriend ordered the beef jerky on rice. Be sure to tell them if you're not used to spicy things, because my adobo came with some chily (which I accidentally ate and became a fire breathing dragon for real), and I tasted some of my partner's sauce - I swear my mouth hurt for ten minutes straight and it was pretty bad (as a person who isn't used to spicy things). Other than that, all was tasty. The pork adobo came with lots of fattier parts, that's one thing I didn't like as much. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. They do have a few things which are not mentioned on the menu (at that time they had sinigang, karekare, chicken inasal - neither was mentioned on the menu, but if you ask them about it, they will tell you). Prices are very good and portion sizes are also very nice, I left satisfied and so did my boyfriend. They had pool tables.

The Mantle Restaurant is relatively new and not many locals or tourists are familiar with it. They have a very large menu, including appetizers, Filipino food, Mexican, burgers, and a full drinks menu (wine, spirits, and beer). The food quality is very high, excellent service, the food comes out steaming hot, reasonable prices, and clean premises. I will definitely be returning.

Don't let reviews by drama queens scare you away. The staff are quite pleasant, helpful and accommodating without being uppity. We both had the Friday prime rib special and it was good. Portions are large. I had a rather unique drink and it was a refreshing one. I've only been to this restaurant four times in the more than 25 that it has been here and it has always been fine. Yes, prices definitely are higher than drive-through.

Wonderful service and great live music (piano). Food was pretty good, everything (especially the sauces) was a bit salty though.

Went on a Friday with a piano player great romantic atmosphere very cute and intimate venue.

Food was amazing! Nice staff. Seafood Linguine is sooooo good!

Needs a face lift. Average price for sit down meals. Service is always good.

The food was alright but the service was the worst I have ever experienced in my entire life.

Great food and service.i took my sweetheart for valentines

A nice small Cafe in the NWT Legislative building. The staff were great, the food options and quality were way above expectations for a small cafe. My son is fussy with his food so for him to ask for a second chicken burger/sandwich is worthy of my 5 stars on it's own.

Located inside the beautiful NWT Legislature Building, this small restaurant serves not just cofee and delightful desserts, but also one of the best lunches to be had in Yellowknife. Their lunch specials change daily and are truly unique but very much delicious. If you're in the area and or wanting a delicious meal to accompany the beautiful surroundings of the NWT Legislature I highly recommend taking the time to check out the Cliff Cafe.

Wonderful! We had a fantastic meal. Great food and friendly service. I highly recommend this for a superior dining experience.

Fantastic food and service, as always...thanks for the awesome experience.

The food was excellent and great service.

This is a very nice restaurant with a view of Great Slave Lake. I wish I was there during warmer months as they have an outdoor patio. The whitefish was amazing! So was the brownie dessert! Only downfall was their wine selection. All were very sweet.

I had a lovely dining experience at this lakeside restaurant. The setting beside the water created a relaxing and scenic atmosphere. The service was attentive and genuinely friendly, which made the meal even more enjoyable. I ordered the fish piccata, and it was bursting with flavor—perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. A great spot for both the food and the view!

Though the renovation of the restaurant not as decent as expected but the foods are fantastic and service comparable high. The steak and honey lemon chicken wings so tender. Highly recommended

Wanted to try some Indian food in Yellowknife and visited this place for dinner. Tried the Hyderabadi Biriyani and it was flavourful with right amount of spices. The mushroom soup was good as well. The service was good and the staff were friendly.

Butter chicken was flavourful and delicious. The mild had enough spice to add to how flavorful it is. Also had the calamari - it was nice and crispy

I had a good experience at the restaurant. The pasta was tasty, though a bit spicy for my preference, and the burger was delicious. The staff were very nice and provided excellent service. My only disappointment is that they don’t offer iced coffee, which would have been a great addition. Overall, still a solid dining experience!

Nice food, quick service too. The patio gives a nice view of the bay. If you're lucky, you might see a plane land on the water.

We popped by an hour before closing and they were super nice to accommodate us. Inside is very cosy, very full of boxes and random supplies and freezers. Already I felt like it was a legit Chinese restaurant 😂 We ordered the braised pork belly and the Beijing noodles. I have zero complaints, the food was so good. The pork belly jiggled and absolutely melted in your month. The noodles had good texture and a generous amount of pork and cucumber. We had enough to take leftovers for the next day. I would definitely recommend this place to satisfy Asian food cravings while in Yellowknife.

Just had an incredible meal at Cai’s! The food was fresh, flavorful, and authentic. We loved the tomato fried egg and the Hunan pig foot (love the spice). The service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance was lovely. Highly recommend for anyone craving top-tier Chinese food of Yellowknife. We'll be back!

Really friendly service and a wonderful homestyle Chinese experience. We ate like kings, with food on par with the better restaurants in Richmond B.C. I was impressed by the multitude of flavors and unique options on the menu, and wish I could come back every day for a week straight just to try it all. A highly recommended family style food experience that I enjoyed immensely and hope to return to soon!

Came in for lunch. Sweet and sour fish, spicy tofu, and hand torn cabbage for 2 people. The taste of the food was great in terms of real Chinese food. Hostess was very friendly and informative. Overall a great experience.

The food is delicious, just like the food we ate in China. Very warm and nice. And the hostess is very great. Love this restaurant

We ordered fried rice, lemon chicken and the green onion pancake. The portions were a good size to share with two people. The food was delicious, fresh and filled with lots of flavour. The server was so nice and the atmosphere was welcoming as well. I would definitely come back again next time when I visit!

Small eatery but serves a variety of dishes and meals, and bubble tea. Had wanton noodles - the wantons are made of pork (not prawns) and are homemade - each batch is freshly made. The wanton noodles (wantons, tomato and broccoli and some spring onion) comes in a large bowl - can be shared between 2 persons (small eaters), or for one hungry person.

This cozy local café in Yellowknife is a bit far from downtown, so I took a taxi to get there. The atmosphere made me feel like I had stepped into a scene from a Canadian drama—it was so authentic and charming. The food and coffee were delicious, and I’d love to visit again💗

We had a good time to experience snow shoes in the trails. The view from the hill was incredible. Thanks for showing us such a special place. The food at the restaurant was also delicious. Ice cream was homemade which tasted VERY nice! Big recommend!!

Cute quaint spot. Got the date scone which was good. They also have a small corner shop which sells a bunch of cute stuff.

Cute local cafe with handmade fresh options. They also have a full bar service and very reasonable pricing compared to the other few good places in Yellowknife. Definitely try their cheese platter and Focaccia Bread. Must visit for when visiting the town. Could get busy during the weekends but it's sufficient seating and service staff available. Also the service is quick and efficient. Loved the place way more than the other popular Bullocks Bistro with very limited food options. They both however are very different with the options they offer. Definitely try their ice cream with Birch Syrup for purchase.

Came here first to grab a coffee and I ended up returning as I quickly realized that this is a hidden gem for dinner. They have a lovely tapas selection and its a refreshing offer into Yellowknife'food scene. Their team is very friendly! Coffee and ice cream were also good.

We went dog sledding, and it was an amazing experience! The dogs were full of energy sometimes is hard to control but they’re absolutely adorable angels 🥺. Our French guide, Steven (sorry if I got the spelling wrong!), was very kind and made the experience even better. Big shoutout to Steven! Also, the Sun Dog ice cream? So good! The waffle cone was the best part. The meal itself was just okay, but the roasted potatoes were delicious!

Nice cozy cafe. My cappuccino is sad looking and bitter compared back to Australia. Soups were great and delicious looking pastries. Free WiFi too.

Falafel looked good ,but it fell apart when we tried eating it, it tested okay. Shawarma was good. It’s a small town and there is not many options here, so considering that it’s 4/5 if it was located in a big city I would rate it 3/5. The service was great, they were fast and nice!

The chicken plate was pretty good and tasted fresh. The prices are high relative to southern Canada, but I expected that for food costs. Most restaurants in the downtown area were closed on Saturday, so I appreciate that this place was open. It's at the front of a nearly vacant shopping centre and there allegedly isn't a restroom available unless you ask security.

It was my first tome to get Donair. The staff was very friendly to let me try different things before I decided what to get. The portion was big and satisfying😋Both beef and chicken are good! Beef has stronger taste.

Food was so horrible. We ordered food for 13 people and pretty much every food was stale. Beef and chicken was so dry. Rice was sticky and feels like couple days old. Potatoes were cold and dry. We called the restaurant to complain and they just laughed at us. They just asked us to complain on DoorDash.

I have found quality very inconsistent and am Out-put by lack of hand washing from certain staff. I’ve watched people handle money and not wash their hands before prepping food- just putting on one glove even though they handle food with both hands. Also depends who makes your food. I’ve found the lady owner very kind and consistent in quality and quantity while others are not. I’ve sometimes received a skimpy and sloppy mess instead of what is normally a nicely done shawarma. Value varies. Flavour is usually good though.

Tonight I had a beef donair with sweet sauce and garlic sauce. The meat was juicy and hot, the choice of veggies were crisp. Really great donair, large portion. Thanks folks

It wasn't great in terms of quality and could have been better, but it's great that this city serves halal food.

This restaurant is found at the back of a convenience store, which made it a little hard to find from the street. There was a good selection to choose from. I ordered the sate beef with rice that tasted pretty good and the portions were decent. The food was made quickly, making this a great quick drop in place. The restaurant is take out only.

Ordered chicken wonton noodle soup and spring rolls for pickup. Food was ready within 15 mins, everything was hot and the soup was one of my favorite wonton soups I’ve had recently; the broth and the chicken especially.

A hidden gem of a take-out restaurant, situated at the back of a convenient store. Certainly NOT where you'd expect to find the best authentic Vietnamese food in town, but looks can be deceiving. The food here rivals what you'd find in bigger cities with larger Viet population (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal) They only do take-out or delivery, but everything is made fresh! (Worth the wait). We've tried their Rice Combo #1, #2 and #3 - flavours are authentic and delicious.

We ordered many time for takeouts and the food is always good. Great portions for the prices. Very good customer service! One of the best Asian food in Yellowknife!

Great take-out. Portion size is great. Delivery is fast and food arrived hot. Will order from here again.

I've ordered here several times now and their vermicelli dishes keep me coming back for more. Miss Saigon offers generous portions at modest prices and delivery for free. I would recommend their dishes to tourists and locals alike! I have never been disappointed by the food or service and I will definitely be returning here again!

Food is ok, not overly impressive.

Tell me how a lasagna dish comes out in less than 5 minutes without being reheated in a microwave?! Same with the fish dish. Small portions, tasteless, overpriced. The server was nice. They had no draft beer on tap, yet the place looks like a sports bar but are aiming for the stars to be like Copperhouse. The Bannock bread didn't taste fresh either, but the maple butter made up for it. For dessert we had the Tiramisu which looked homemade, but must have sat too long as the bottom was pooling with coffee and mascarpone cheese like it was made a while ago and was no longer stable. I would stay clear of this place. Total bill for two meals, no drinks, and a dessert was $100. Same price as Copperhouse, but I had a steak dinner there, two meals and a dessert, and it far exceeded the Hungry Wolf. You'd have to be a desperate Hungry Wolf to eat here....Like my review if it helped you 👍

I decided to try The Hungry Wolf after seeing posts about them on social media. The restaurant was not located accurately on Google maps however at the time of writing this and was actually tucked away next to the Pizza Hut. I ordered the pasta special (rotates monthly) which was a jambalaya with shrimp and sausage as well as the soup (I assume rotates as well) which was potato bacon. The good: The restaurant was clean, the server was friendly and attentive (albeit a bit timid), and the food tasted good with generous portions. The bad: The price was high for what I consider a fairly simple pasta dish (I paid $50 for a soup and a main for one person). The soup was a bit bland (could have used more salt/seasoning). The menu was also outdated with inaccurate information. Overall I felt like although the food tasted good it felt fairly generic compared to other offerings in Yellowknife and the prices didn't feel competitive. I left full but it isn't my top choice in town for what they are offering. I may try again at a later date as they did mention they were making changes to the menu but otherwise I'll be sticking with my other preferred restaurants.

I had the drunken chicken and my husband had the schnitzel. The chicken was good, lots of food, the seasonal veggies were a very night tender crisp. The Duchess potatoes we sooo good... But in all honesty I preferred my husband's meal!! I LOVED the schnitzel and so did he. Do not miss out on that meal!

Fresh food, fast service, and awesome atmosphere. The waitress was so frienly and very attentive to us this evening. The seafood pasta is so delicious I ate it all up. The cesar salad was so good. Definitely going back again next time I'm in Yellowknife.

Generous portions and very tasty. The hamburger is served over a nice focaccia. The waitress was very very nice and make us feel comfortable.

Food was amazing all the breakfast food was delicious. Service was pretty good did take about 10 minutes for the bill. It was a bit cramped in there.

Great service and even better food ! Fish and chips very fresh and generous portion, from a long time yellowknifer I am confident to say their fish is better than Bullocks !

While in Yellowknife to view the aurora, I noticed that the local Ricky's had quite a high rating on Google, so my wife and I decided to visit. My wife ordered the fried fish and shrimp platter, and I opted for the fried chicken and shrimp. The fried chicken was excellent—crispy on the outside and remarkably tender and juicy on the inside. However, my wife's fried fish was somewhat inferior by comparison, though it was still acceptable. Overall, the food was quite satisfactory.

Great place to visit! I came for a brunch and definitely loved it. The food was delicious with decent amount at a reasonable price. Sukhman was really nice and checked frequently if we need anything. I would like to come and visit again for other menus.

Great breakfast options. I had chicken avacado omelette with coffee ☕ Omelette was cooked to perfection (No colour) Coffee was rich & bold to taste. Server & host both were amazing. Restaurant was busy for Monday morning. Will visit again. Thank you!

Staff service is so good. Good introductions for food. Price is good and the food amount is great. Burger and all the breakfast is good taste. Have happy time menu Nice to come here for enjoying lunch

Dear Kiranjot, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your exceptional service. You were incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful throughout my visit. Your positive attitude and genuine care made the whole experience so enjoyable. I truly appreciate your effort and hope you know how much it means to guests like me.

Had my first meal here in Yellowknife and it was amazing. We ordered the Big Brunch Platter and the Beef Dip. The portion is super generous and we left with a happy a tummy. Service was also a 10/10.

My boyfriend and I already came here twice this week for brunch because the food is that good 😋 Raj was our server both times, and she delivered with great service. She's the best 😁❤️ Anyways, if we could rate Ricky's higher we would (especially since it's a little cheaper than BP hahah) My order: Double Egger w/ breakfast sausage and chorizo (my boyfriend ate all of his food faster than me lmaooo so no pics)

Delicious food at good prices. The place was clean and decor modern. The outdoor patio was very nice too. Hours are short so make to sure to come here for lunch if visiting the legislative assembly or the nearby heritage centre.

After fleeing another restaurant in town because the food tasted like pure sorrow we decided on Casa De Cobre because it's the highest rated restaurant in the entire area. I've never had a mushroom burrito bowl and was tempted but alas I can't get past the fact that mushrooms are fungus and not a vegetable so I ordered the vegetarian burrito bowl. Excellent 👍. The food tasted "authentic" but I don't really know what authentic Mexican food should taste like so I should probably just shut up now. Highly recommended.

This isn’t my first time here and the food is usually great! I tried the Birria Tacos this time, flavor was really nice, but they were extremely SALTY. I’m not sure if it was just an off day, but I hope the salt or seasoning can be adjusted a bit in the future. Looking forward to coming back!

Stellar quality, unbeatable prices. Absolutely fantastic meal that can’t be beat by any place in town. Strongly recommend, especially as they have something for all preferences. The chicken burrito was an all star, but the taco 3 piece (one of each protein) was a great way to experience each of the meats available. Vegetarian options also incredible, and truly amazing prices. I was concerned about portions when seeing the prices but the orders are full and packed.

The burrito was BIG! It took me a couple days to eat it all. It was delicious! Reminded me of the food I got down in Mexico.

A friend recommended this place to me, no regrets! Food is incredible and authentic as someone who has tried a lot of Mexican cuisine. Ordered the taco trio, chips and pico. 10/10. Staff was also friendly and the seating area is beautiful and quiet. Would come again!!

Some of the best food in Yellowknife. Always fresh and great portion sizes. The staff are also always friendly.

Masala Kingdom – A Flavorful Stop in Yellowknife If you’re looking for something different in Yellowknife, Masala Kingdom is definitely worth a visit. This cozy little spot offers a unique blend of Indian cuisine and pizza, with something for everyone—including Western food options for those still easing into the bold flavors of Indian dishes. The food was great, with generous portion sizes that give good value for money. The spice level seems toned down from traditional recipes, likely to suit a broader palate, but the flavors remain rich and satisfying. They offer weekday buffets and frequently run promos and discounts—like buy 2, pay for 1—so don’t forget to ask about current deals. However, there are a couple of downsides. First, service was slow—we waited over 30 minutes for our food. Second, the restaurant lacks air conditioning, so dining in can be quite warm and uncomfortable, especially during hotter days. Still, if you’re not in a rush and can handle a bit of heat, Masala Kingdom delivers a flavorful and unique dining experience in Yellowknife.

My honest review- I tried all the Indian restaurants in YK and this is the best overall in terms of quality of food and the taste. Besides, the owner and staff are very polite and helpful. I had the lunch buffet, lassi and packed some super delicious sweets. It brought back the beautiful memories of India. So many delicious items in $20 and one can eat unlimited.

A decent restaurant with authentic Indian food. I tried their thali and I found it to be very delicious. The food had just the right amount of spices to please the taste buds. The staff was friendly and there were enough seats available during my visit. I recommend this place.

Had a really great dine-in experience at Masala Kingdom! The place was clean, the service was quick and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious. The food was full of flavour. The sides were fresh and tasty too. Everything was served hot and made fresh to order, which made the meal feel even more special. Taran did great job. Overall, a very good experience and I’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend!

What I loved most was how caring and friendly the staff were. They made the experience feel personal, not just a meal. It’s more than a restaurant; it’s a little piece of India right here in Yellowknife. I can’t wait to come back — Masala Kingdom truly fills both your stomach and your heart! ❤️🇮🇳

Absolutely fantastic experience! The food was so good. The service was warm, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The ambiance was cozy perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Highly recommend for anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine — can’t wait to come back.

Masala Kingdom is truly a gem in the North! The food is fresh, flavorful, and authentic — every dish feels like it’s made with care. The curries are rich and perfectly spiced, the naan is soft and warm, and the biryani is absolutely delicious.

Great pizza! The quality was hot and the service quick! When looking for a full pizza or a quick slice to eat, I found this fresh slice to deliver! I ordered the BBQ chicken pizza which has never let me down so I highly recommend getting a slice or full pizza of that!

Fantastic spot all around: great prices, delicious pizza, and friendly service. Our family loved the variety of flavors. The team here is incredibly kind and clearly works hard to create a positive vibe in Yellowknife. It was a real pleasure meeting them. Cheers!

Delicious pizza, quick service. Loved the text updates when it was ready.

I tried a medium pizza and cheese bread. It was super delicious and the staff was amazing. I regret not being able to eat again.

Best pizza place and price is cheap for pick up

The staff was very polite and professional. The cleanliness of the place was well maintained. I ordered their Butter chicken pizza . The quality and taste of pizza was excellent. The money i spent on my food was worth it. I will definitely visit this place again.

Great pizza! The slices are quite large and not great at all! Would definitely come back
