Restaurant
Bullock's Bistro is a charming and rustic spot known for its seafood, chowder, fish & chips, and beer. The restaurant has gained popularity over the years and is adorned with customer notes covering its walls. With only 36 seats inside, it's recommended to make a reservation, especially during the fall and winter seasons.
Fantastic fish and chips, really does live up the hype. Both the deep fried and flame grilled trout was delicious. Fries were crispy. Salad dressing was amazing too. Somewhat small place and gets pretty busy, you may have to wait a bit. The service was pretty slow as there was only one guy taking orders. Atmosphere is very casual. I’d definitely come again. About $34 per dish.

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.
Bhakti D — Google review
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.
Christopher N — Google review
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.
Teresa N — Google review
This was some great fish & chips. Breading is light and not greasy, fries are hand cut, and salad dressing and tartar are handmade. The lone server and lone chef were hustling through a super busy lunch rush - both were polite and so efficient even though it was a full restaurant. We loved our lunch here!

Bar
Restaurant
The Black Knight Pub is a cozy and laid-back spot with classic wood paneling, serving up traditional pub fare like cottage pies and sandwiches alongside a selection of draft beers. The brunch menu features egg-centric dishes, while lunch options include various sandwiches. For those seeking a pub experience before noon, the establishment offers beermosas as an alternative to mimosas. It's a popular spot for locals, including government employees unwinding with pints after work.
If you’re in Yellowknife on a Wednesday, don’t miss Wing Night—it’s the ultimate spot to indulge in amazing wings and more! Here’s my experience: We arrived early at 4:30 PM (Wing Night officially starts at 5:00 PM), and our server was incredibly accommodating. They took our orders at 4:45 PM so we could dive in as soon as the festivities began. Pro tip: Arrive early—the place fills up fast! We tried a variety of wings, but the dry rub options stole the show, especially the lemon pepper rub—an absolute standout! Their burgers also deserve a special mention, particularly the BBQ Guinness Burger, which was nothing short of phenomenal. Whether you’re out for wings, drinks, and a good time with friends, or prefer a cozy night at home with pick-up or delivery, this place has you covered. Highly recommend it for wing lovers and foodies alike! #YellowknifeEats #WingNightDoneRight

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.

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.

This local brew-pub located in Old Town not only offers a thoughtfully curated selection of craft beers but also produces its own award-winning brews. The establishment has quickly become a popular choice for locals and visitors alike seeking quality drinks and a vibrant atmosphere.
Amazing atmosphere and great tasting foods and drinks. Their draft beer was fresh and great, their steak sandwich and mac & cheese was very delicious at the way to the old town Yellowknife. I’d really enjoyed and have a great time with lovely food and beer.

Fantastic food and beer. Recommend the Ragged Pine pale ale for the beers. I got the brisket donair with fries and it was delicious. Having had donair and brisket all over Canada, this was one of the best. The truffle mac and cheese also looked great. It was very busy, about a 25min wait, definitely expect a wait if you come for dinner. Worth it though. Servers were friendly. Definitely check it out if you’re in town.

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!

Drove from QC to taste their beers. 2 PM Saturday, on labor day week-end, sunny and 24 degrees outside. I was told the patio was closed, no reason given, I have a dog and can’t really leave her in the car while I’m having one or two of their flights. Despite the sign (pictured) we didn’t feel welcomed this afternoon. Last night was much better. More comprehensive staff I guess

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.

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.

Trader’s Grill, located in the Explorer Hotel, offers a cozy and stylish dining experience with a view of the Boreal Forest through its large window. The restaurant's menu features a variety of options including elk, bison, local fish, and Arctic Char. Emphasizing quality and reflecting the North's comforts, Trader’s Grill champions local products and craft beers.
I loved the atmosphere of this restaurant, I was immediately greeted with a nice large fireplace and a beautiful view from the window. I tried the steak sandwich, which was incredibly fillling. The steak was perfectly cooked, had great flavor, and was tender. They also gave a ton of fries with the dish, which was nice. I missed the buffer this last trip but will definitely come back to try it next time. Service was also really good.

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!

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.
Vivi M — Google review
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.

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!

Boston Pizza is a popular family-friendly dining option in Yellowknife, offering a kids menu for the little ones. While it may be one of the few choices for families, some parents might find the menu somewhat repetitive after multiple visits. The restaurant successfully delivers the Boston Pizza experience and provides prompt service. Although the food is enjoyable, it tends to be on the pricier side as expected. Additionally, visitors have found amusement in interacting with the food-delivering robot at this establishment.

I have Celiac disease and cannot tolerate any gluten. Last night I ordered a GF pizza. It looked different then the cauliflower crust I usually order but I thought maybe BP changed their supplier. So I ate it. I have been so, so sick ever since. Clearly their staff has not been trained in the seriousness of this medical condition. Gluten Intoletance is NOT a dietary whim. It causes serious harm to the intestines of those with Celiacs. Shame on you BP.

Came to BPs to celebrate my gfs birthday, the entire restaurant was freezing, got our food then we were never checked on again. Took forever to receive our refills once we were able to get the staffs attention, could not finish our food as we had waited for refills we ordered spicy food. Then when we finally got our drinks everything was cold but we still ate and tried to enjoy the birthday dinner, once we were done the person waiting on us asked if we needed anything we asked for take away boxes she said she would grab and be right back with the machine to pay for our meals, 15-20 mins passed as we were talking and waiting she never showed up so we left our leftovers and walked to the front and paid for our meals and did not leave a tip. The person waiting on us was nowhere to be seen not one waiting staff on the floor. I froze sitting in that family lounge area, ppl even had children with their jackets and sweaters on.. can you not turn the heat on or keep it at a decent temperature?

I have lived in Yellowknife for 13 years. Used to order and spend time in Boston Pizza for all those years. For the last two years the quality of food deteriorated significantly. Today I have ordered pick up, after a very long time promising myself never use their service, pizza… the dough was flat, not rising at all and salty like the cheapest store pizza. I do sometimes my own pizza and tell that the dough was taken out to thaw and put back in the freezer due to low demand in the day (no doubt they have low demand). When unfroze and re-froze pizza that is what happening with it. This Yellowknife franchise goes down the drain with the food quality. I will write complain to their franchiser headquarters to draw attention since I receive this horrible food quality not the 1,2,3 time. I guess I was too patient… sorry guys you shouldn’t run this business. Attached is the so-called carbonara pizza. I don’t even comment on the quality of the pizza sauce (taste may be subjective)

Vietnamese restaurant
The Vietnamese Noodle House is a no-frills eatery that serves up authentic Vietnamese cuisine, including popular dishes like pho noodles and rice. Located on Franklin Avenue in Yellowknife, this restaurant has been a local favorite for more than two decades. Many regulars have their favorite dish numbers memorized, ensuring quick and seamless ordering upon each visit. The lunchtime rush during high school days holds fond memories for many, with customers squeezing in a bowl of flavorful pho just minutes before class.
For being in the territories, the food was great! Have been living up North for almost two years and have been craving pho for weeks. The food here hit the spot. The pho had some cilantro bits in it, which was a welcome surprise. The broth was good. I also enjoyed the spring rolls and the salad roll. Yes, it was warm inside the restaurant, but it's summer and I was eating pho. The ice water tasted extra good.

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.
Mateo — Google review
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!

Food was fresh and arrived quickly. The broth for the pho was excellent, proper slow-simmered bone broth, and generous portion of noodles, meat was sliced nice and thin. Does not come with beansprouts or mint which I’m assuming might be because those would be more expensive / less available up here, but still tasty. If you’re used to ordering Vietnamese carrot salad elsewhere and are hoping for this to be a veggie side, the salad might be a little disappointing- it had very few carrots and was mostly iceberg lettuce, but they did include a huge amount of shrimp to make up for it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Alestine's, located in Inuvik, is a remarkable establishment that offers delicious fish and chips. Its charm would make it a perfect fit in Nova Scotia or Cottage Country, Ontario.

I was looking for a sixth star for atmosphere—talk about over-deliver! A different seat would give you a different experience every time. When it comes to the arctic, context is everything, and when you consider the location and the unique challenges that come with running a restaurant in such a place, Alestine’s is something of a culinary miracle, every day. The small, “of the moment” menu, based on what’s fresh, just caught, local, and/or, authentically Canadian, offers hearty portions and even heartier service in surroundings that are sure to provide a little magic for even the weariest traveller. And a jam jar of wine is always a good idea. Bring your appetite, pull up a stump, marvel at every story filled book and cranny, and be assured you will leave very well looked after!

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.

Elke's Table on 47th is a charming downtown eatery that offers a delightful fusion of German-Mediterranean cuisine with a focus on local fish and chips. The small, bistro-like restaurant is located in what appears to be a regular house, adding to its quaint appeal. The menu features an array of dishes such as schnitzel with mushroom gravy, battered white fish, and homemade desserts. With limited seating, it's advisable to call ahead for larger groups.
We ordered Schnitzel, German sausages, and salad. Everything was perfectly delicious and way above my expectation for restaurants in such a small town. I would definitely recommend anyone coming to Yellowknife to try the food here, and would also come again ourselves the next time we’re in YK. The waiter is very friendly and helpful. This seems to be a place where you need to clean up after yourself (with notes on the wall), but while we’re holding the dishes, the waiter came and helped us with the rest. The only minor issue is that the smoke from the kitchen seems to slowly fill in the dining area, and at one point my eyes feel hurting and tearing a lot. If anyone has sensitive eyes like I do, maybe the place is more suitable for take-outs.

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!

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.

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.

Tim Hortons is a Canadian chain known for its premium-blend coffee, light fare, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches. It's a popular spot located near Wal-Mart, but the drive-thru lineup can sometimes cause traffic issues. The place is beloved by many for its coffee and food, although some wish there was more seating available to enjoy their purchases. Customers often comment on the high prices of certain items like ice caps but appreciate the friendly staff and tasty offerings at this establishment.
I hope they aren't treated badly, they are fast and keep mobile orders safe so nothing is stolen. Good work Tim Hortons mall team 😊 thank you. (I usually only get coffee but one time I got a wrap and it was pretty good)

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.

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.

The restaurant within the hotel, which may initially appear exclusive to hotel guests, is open to the general public and provides a family-friendly dining option. The establishment boasts a spacious setting with a lofty ceiling, accommodating large families comfortably if required. Quarry Restaurant + Lounge in Yellowknife is an undisclosed treasure, featuring attentive and amiable servers who offer exceptional service. Their menu encompasses an extensive range of culinary choices including steak, chicken, pasta, seafood, salads, burgers - essentially catering to all preferences.
Overall, the food here is quite good, and the portions are generous. The restaurant is conveniently located just below the hotel, so I ended up eating here twice. Here are the dishes I recommend: Soup of the Day: The soup changes daily, but it’s consistently good. It comes with garlic bread, which is delicious. The portion size is quite large. Bison Short Rib ($38): Bison meat has less fat, so it can be tough if cooked well-done. However, this dish is surprisingly tender. The meat isn’t salty, so I added some black pepper and salt myself. The flavor is quite unique, and it’s worth trying if you have the chance. Catch of the Day: On this day, it was pan-fried whitefish. The fish was fresh and served with a tomato and shrimp sauce. Like the other dishes, it wasn’t salty, so I had to add some salt myself.

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 ! 🍻

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.

If you find yourself in need of a cozy spot to unwind, Bruno Pizza is the perfect destination. After being shut out of the airport late at night, I was fortunate enough to be directed here by my shuttle driver. This gem offers delicious food served with professionalism and warmth, all at an affordable price. The atmosphere buzzes with energy on weekends while remaining steady during the week, making it a popular choice among locals and travelers alike.
I was shut out of the airport because of the late night hour and needed a landing spot for a few hours. The shuttle driver knew of Bruno's and took me there. This place deserves better reviews than what I'm able verbalize but I can simply say that everything was served with a professional manner, was hot and inexpensive. It's an excellent location and it very busy on the weekends and steady in other nights. Bruno is very proud of his place and has been managing restaurants for about 30 years. The chain restaurants are hitting the town but this one is you're local franchise, a true Yellowknife hometown business. When I'm through the area again I'll stop in for a quick slice if I'm in a hurry then go back for a sit down meal when I have time. It's within walking distance of many places and within driving distance of the rest.

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.

The Roost, a fantastic establishment, provided an enjoyable experience with its delectable offerings. The chicken burger and Greek salad were shared by the parents while the girlfriend opted for a crispy chicken burger. All parties reveled in their meals, accompanied by the invigorating beats resonating throughout the restaurant.
I recently dined at The Roost Restaurant and I was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience. The dish I ordered was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked shrimp, tender chicken, all complemented by fresh, crispy vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. The noodles were cooked just right, absorbing the flavorful sauce that tied everything together beautifully. It was a delightful mix of textures and flavors that made for a satisfying meal. But what made the experience truly special was the exceptional service provided by Julia. From the moment I was seated, Julia made me feel welcomed and taken care of. She was attentive without being overbearing, ensuring my drinks were always topped up and checking in on me at the right moments. Her friendly demeanor and professionalism added a personal touch that enhanced my dining experience. I highly recommend The roost restaurant for anyone looking for great food and top-notch service. A special shoutout to Julia for making my visit memorable—I will definitely be coming back!

It's definitely the best restaurant in Hay River. Decided to stop in and have lunch here. Their local whitefish was very good, accompanied by an excellent waiter, by the name of Viru. Next thing I knew, I was having supper here and again it was a filling and great meal.

Try the local white fish - the chef did an awesome job - not over cooked and a decent portion. You won't go wrong eating here. Service was perfect.

Hay River's fine dining restaurant. Menu is varied with plenty of great food from which to choose; appetizers, lunch menu and entrees. A great beverage selection and excellent service. Beautiful decor complete with comfortable table and booth seating will set the right mood for an intimate meal out or a business meeting. The Keys Dining Lounge is located right in the Ptarmigan Inn main lobby in the heart of Hay River's downtown core.

First time having breakfast here and ordered what is usually a very safe choice; an omelet with onions, peppers, mushrooms and cheese (to go). Sadly, it was the worst omelets I have ever tasted. Pretty sure there was more onions than eggs used to make it and absolutely no salt or pepper. Also, the onions were in huge soggy pieces like what you would use to make onion rings. The cheddar cheese doesn’t even have any flavour. Extremely bland and awful texture for an omelet. Has to be one of the first times in my life that I couldn’t take a second bite of an omelet. $20 down the drain. Also, I just remembered it was $3 extra for spoonful of “real cheddar”. Shameful If they can’t even figure out breakfast I certainly won’t be back for lunch or dinner.

Ordered the firecracker penne and kids chicken fingers. Was an online order and was given a time frame to pick it up, went there early and waited 10 minutes before someone from the back told me to get my food from the front desk at the hotel. Food was cold, firecracker penne was so spicy I couldn't eat it and I love spicy food. Chicken tenders wasn't a meal like I thought it was, just 3 tenders no fries or dip either. Won't be ordering again.

When you find yourself in Fort Smith, NWT, make sure to stop by Berro's Pizza, a beloved local establishment that never fails to satisfy pizza enthusiasts. This charming spot is known for its hearty and flavorful pizzas, featuring generous layers of sauce, meat, and cheese that create a delightful balance with every bite. While the atmosphere may be simple and the service occasionally unpredictable, the quality of food at Berro's more than compensates for it.
Four words i won't fully write out... OMFG. Hands down the best pizza I've had in a long time. Everyone in town (that were so nice) all recommend here and myself and co worker were not disappointed!! Thanks for being such a awesome small town surprise!!!

Whenever I visit Fort Smith, NWT, Berro’s is my go-to spot to satisfy my pizza cravings. This local gem consistently delivers delicious, hearty pizzas that hit the spot every time. What sets Berro’s apart is their perfectly layered pizzas—generous amounts of sauce, meat, and cheese, balanced to perfection. The flavors are rich, satisfying, and always fresh. While the ambiance is nothing fancy and the service can be a bit unpredictable, the food more than makes up for it. Trust me, you’re here for the taste, not the decor. If you’re visiting, I highly recommend trying their signature Berro’s Pizza or the flavorful Donair Pizza. Both are must-tries and showcase the best of what this spot has to offer.

Everything during the visit followed a comfortable flow. The seating was arranged thoughtfully, creating a space that felt neither crowded nor too empty. The service team moved with ease, offering assistance when appropriate. Nothing particularly stood out, but that gave the evening a sense of quiet balance, which some diners may prefer.

These guys make the best pizza in Canada; you might not believe this because it's located in a remote place. Just take a trip down here, try their chicken pizza or veggie pizza, and you won't regret the amount you spent for air fare. Moreover, Fort Smith is a beautiful tourist locality, flanked by Slave River on the west and Buffalo National Park on the east. Bon voyage!

I travelled to Fort Smith for work in August of 2023 and I was incredibly disappointed in the service and food at Berro's Pizzeria. I travelled across Canada for work and I have never in all my years have I ever had such an awful experience at at small town eatery. First my garden salad was served to me with several pieces of plastic in it. When I let the staff know there was no apologies made or an offer to compromise my salad. Then my baked lasagna came and it was undercooked and the sauce was like water, basically it was soup and disgusting. My coworkers decided to order and split a pizza that had raw dough. The owner would not offer to refund our meals, instead he proceeded to argue with us about the temperature of the food which was not even the issue. To top it all off my co-worker got the worst case of diarrhea in his whole life. I strongly recommend you do not eat here if you are in Fort Smith.

The Back Eddy Cocktail Lounge & Restaurant is a beloved local hotspot that combines great food with a lively atmosphere. With a diverse menu ranging from appetizers to fine dining, it caters to all tastes. The standout dish here is undoubtedly the fish & chips, featuring fresh Great Slave Lake whitefish that's perfectly battered and fried. The nautical-themed decor sets an inviting scene for everything from casual lunches to romantic dinners or large gatherings.
Definitely the nicest atmosphere of the restaurants in Hay River. Service was good, and fairly efficient. The food was decent, the fish tacos were pretty good and my friends burger was too. Prices were high but I think that's to be expected given the area.

Waited for our drinks for 20 minutes and our order for an hour. Ended up getting our order to go since we waited so long. Get to our room only to see the ribs that we waited an hour for are coated in a cheap ketchup bbq sauce. What a waste of time and money. Never again 🤦‍♀️ If I could I would rate this 0 stars. Lol.

The Back Eddy is a local favourite eating and entertainment spot. Menu has everything from appetizers to fine dining options. Great salads, wraps and burgers but the house specialty is the fish & chips! Fresh Great Slave Lake whitefish lightly battered and fried to perfection with fries, you can substitute a salad if you wish. The nautical themed dining room is the perfect location for lunch, a romantic evening out or for large groups. The Back Eddy has a family dinning area separate from the licensed section of the restaurant. Make sure to check out the live entertainment when available!

We ordered baby back ribs, fish and chips, the 8 oz steak, and a wasabi salmon. There were mozza sticks too except it ended up going to the WRONG table somehow that we cancelled. The price is about 30 dollar range for each dish minus the entree that we had to remove after waiting an actual HOUR for everything. Came to NT to sightsee from Edmonton but this restaurant has been the MOST disappointing experience dining-wise this whole trip so far. Asked multiple times on the status of the food and finally got a time around 50 minutes after we sat in and ordered, when other patrons that came in around the same time (5:22 pm) have already finished eating and left. When the food came the steak that we ordered medium well was well done to the point of dry. Salmon was drier than the sahara desert and I could do it better with store bought fish and a microwave. Only normal items were the ribs and fried fish, but the fries portion that came with the fish and chips were 1/2 the size of the other fries. The fried fish was also small, smaller than the size of 2 filet o fish patties. If I wasn't starving like a stranded refugee on a deserted island I would've walked out before the food arrived but my family members convinced me not to. Not coming back and I feel like the 3.9 stars are fake. Food bad or terribly mediocre and overpriced for the quality and quantity, and service was just as lacklustre. Big guy in the plaid shirt did well for his customers, but the waitresses seem like new hires with no prior experience.

Had a spicy burger which was typical pub food, but the stand out was the real hamburger patty, not food service food which was nice. Had onion rings which were just barely cooked which was too bad because there had that really good breading, just needed another two minutes in the deep fryer Considering we walked in with 8 people in our party at lunch, I was impressed how quickly things came out. The bathrooms have been recently renovated are palatial, unlike the bar proper which has a 1980's nautical theme. Overall good food, great service.

My burger was tasty and well presented. My wife's was a complete disappointment. The fries that accompanied both were inedible. Our son had a kids meal, then came home and ate again. All around disappointing meal. The decor was pleasant, parking readily available. Staff was super friendly and not overly attentive like some places. I doubt we will clamor to return here to eat, but choices are limited, so we will likely try it here again.

Korea House Restaurant is a family-owned establishment that offers authentic Korean cuisine served quickly and with a friendly attitude. Popular dishes include chicken or pork bulgogi, Japchae, and Goon Mandu. The combo box is recommended for those who want to try a variety of flavors. Despite being the only Korean-inspired restaurant in the area, it's worth visiting for its quick service and delicious meals like bibimbap, bulgogi, kimchi stew, and tofu stew.
Google only lets me give 5 stars but probably deserves a better than perfect score. Food is so good. Fast, friendly service. If I lived in Yellowknife I’d probably eat here every day. Best spot in town.

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!

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.

The waitress is super friend. The foods came super fast. They offered to refill your broth if yours is too spicy or you ran out of broth. At the end of our meal, she asked if she could take a picture of us to post on the Instagram, and then she gave us both free ice cream. This has been one of the best hot pot place we've ever been to.

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?

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.

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.

My first time here recently and now it’s my favourite place for Chinese food. Wish they were in Yellowknife. Loved the egg roll which looked unlike any egg roll I had ever had but was delicious. Vegetable chow mein, fried rice, and lemon chicken were all delicious! Portions were huge and prices were reasonable for the north especially considering the portions (2-3 meals per plate in my opinion). The only downside I experienced was the lack of Coca Cola products. But that is a northern problem. The service was also great. Strong recommend!

This is a great spot for a coffee or for a dinner. We had 7 people served quickly and the food was pretty good. Chinese was our choice, although they have many western food options.

If you're in the mood for some mouthwatering pizza, look no further than Mainstreet Pizza! While their Centre Square Mall location is temporarily closed to ensure safety, you can still indulge in their delicious offerings at the 53rd Street spot. Known for its stone-baked pizzas that let the flavors shine without being overwhelmed by cheese, this place has garnered a loyal following. The owner is not just friendly but also treats guests like family, often surprising them with complimentary slices.
This place has been consistently good. Ive been going for their beef donairs for years now and their donair meat is the best in town. The owner has given a free pizza slice here and there too. Their beef donair platter is really good, they give generous portions of everything from salad to sauces.

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.

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.

I've had burgers all over the country and nothing compares to the hand pressed patties here. I've had almost everything on the menu and they are all good. The service is on par with a diner and you get to experience a coffee shop experience with prices that aren't too extreme for the north. I've never stayed at the motel but the prices are fair. Best burger in the north and possibly in Canada. Coffee is as good as the service.

Stayed here with 2 colleagues for work. This place is in a state of disrepair. The walls are paper thin. The carpet looks like it has never been cleaned. The water pools in the tub. The plug outlet in the bathroom doesn’t work for more than a few minutes and says “razor only”. The bedsheets had stains. One of the rooms had a potent odour. Didn’t know if it was mold. Given the state of the hotel I wouldn’t be surprised. One of the rooms wasn’t ready at 5:30. Then they said they only needed 15 minutes to clean the room. We left and came back around 8pm and they gave us a different room that didn’t even open. It was beside a room that had a door open and could not be closed. The walls are paper thin and the bed is uncomfortable. Did not have a restful sleep as the light was coming in from outside. One mirror in the entire room, in the bathroom. This place is a 1 star motel. One of the colleagues who travelled with me says it is worse than Northern Lites in Yellowknife. The only good thing about this place is the location.

Worst hotel I’ve stayed in by far! 1st night was in the Nahanni Inn, the sheets were full of hair and dirt. The carpets were dirty, like they were never cleaned. Hair and used bar soap in the tub. 2nd night started in room 10 at the Morada, there was 5 wasps in the room, window was smashed, ants in the corners of the room, food on the floors, carpets were disgusting. We were then put in room 17. We were supposed to leave today however my baby is facing seizure activity so we are forced to stay another night and other hotels are booked so we asked for another room. We were placed back in room 17. It’s 5:00 the room was not cleaned so we asked to have it cleaned after checking out at 9:00 this morning. They didn’t change the sheets. Did a quick clean of the bathroom and the floors threw the bed together and moved on. The staff all seen very unhappy and unfriendly and disrespectful. I will not be returning. The only good thing about this hotel is the location.

Just okay the staff was nice the cook makes a decent breakfast. Only place to stay in town, the pillow covers smelt odd and I don’t think the rooms get cleaned enough. Also someone was doing Reno’s at 10PM? All I heard was driver impacts and drywall screws going through something not sure the logic in that. I guess this is the standard for staying somewhere so remote.

Went here for breakfast one morning and to enjoy the lounge one evening. Staff were friendly, pool table was free at the moment. Breakfast was great - a real local spot for food. Lost a star more because you've got to come here with small town expectations than anything else. Food was great, not world class though, decor is in need of a renovation.

They should look into getting better tv service, soo much static, never got to watch any programs or movie in the evening.. and also a small coffee pot with coffee tea available to make in the room. Check to make sure everything in the room is in working order upon checking in, and ask if we need a radio extra condiments.

First night in the NWT so I had a bit of an embarrassing panic when I got quoted a very Northern price - the receptionist was really nice about this (offering to call the other places in town for their rates!!). Of course the room ended up being nothing but clean and comfortable, and service was excellent. It's expensive compared to Alaska Highway motels, but, you know, this isn't the Alaska Highway.

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.

If you're on the hunt for a cozy spot to enjoy lunch, look no further than Anna's Restaurant. This charming eatery exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home from the moment you step inside. The friendly staff greets you with genuine smiles, ready to assist with any questions about the menu. The culinary offerings are nothing short of delightful; their quesadillas are particularly noteworthy—crispy, fresh, and bursting with flavor.
Hands down one of the best restaurants in Northwest Territories. I was visiting Fort Smith from Toronto and didn’t expect such a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly, and their food was just outstandingly delicious. I don’t think I’ll have better soup than that. (It was buffalo chicken soup…but it tasted like perfection). I also had their wrap, smoothie, burger. Everything here is just good. I cannot recommend this place enough.

We don’t get out for dinner often but it was a joy to do so tonight. Brandon, Anna and the whole family work hard to make it a great place to eat and enjoy the atmosphere.

We were looking for a local place to have lunch and decided to go to this place. It was the perfect choice.

The service ladies were extremely friendly and answered all our queries with a big smile. We ordered quesadillas. The food was fresh, crispy and delicious. To be honest this was one the best quesadillas I have had in a long long time. I think we spoke to Anna before we left and she was equally friendly. This place also has spa services if you are interested. I would highly recommend this place if you are in town.

Shawarma House is renowned for its delectable shawarma offerings in the Northwest Territories. This eatery stands out with its unique signature wrap that includes fries inside, a delightful twist on the traditional preparation. While their service is exceptional during quieter times, it can become overwhelming when busy due to limited staff presence. Nonetheless, patrons are consistently impressed by the mouthwatering flavors of dishes such as falafel and babaganoush, which come highly recommended.
Restaurant Review: Blue Bell Indian Restaurant, Yellowknife During my visit to Blue Bell Indian Restaurant in Yellowknife over the Christmas holiday, I had an absolutely fantastic dining experience. This restaurant is well-known in the area, and after trying their food, I can definitely see why. Service & Atmosphere The customer service was exceptional – the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself had a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for a cozy meal during the holiday season. Food Quality & Flavor The food quality was outstanding, with each dish bursting with rich, layered flavors. One of the highlights was their Butter Chicken, which was perfectly creamy, flavorful, and well-balanced, making it an excellent choice for anyone who enjoys authentic Indian flavors without overwhelming heat. The texture was smooth, and every bite was packed with deep, aromatic spices. Pairing the Butter Chicken with naan bread or rice elevated the dish even more, as both options complemented the sauce beautifully. Another standout dish was their creamy alfredo pasta . The sauce was rich yet light, delivering a delicate creamy aroma without feeling overly heavy. Every bite was smooth and comforting, making it a perfect dish for anyone who enjoys a fusion of flavors. Overall Experience From the quality of the food to the friendly service, Blue Bell Indian Restaurant truly delivers an exceptional dining experience. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Yellowknife, this place is a must-try for anyone who enjoys authentic Indian cuisine with a touch of comfort and warmth. Would definitely return for another meal the next time I visit! Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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.

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.

Bluebell is no longer a hidden gem and the word is out, so do yourself a favour and try it for yourself! 😌

The hotel has gone downhill and we won't be staying there again. The hotel is very dated and needs extensive renovations. The kitchenette we stayed in looked like it was last updated in 70s and the appliances were nearly worn out. The AC barely worked and our room was very warm. The mattresses are well worn and provide little support or comfort. Then there were the issues with housekeeping, they didn't even do the bare minimum. I asked the house cleaner one day to vacuum the room and I was told that is not on her list. My daughters stayed in another room and had similar issues. I would not recommend staying here.

As he was walking away, he said what sounded like my name and a few words in his native tongue which the other guy got a chuckle out of....upon his return i asked what the joke was and he said he was talking about "sam" which i didnt hear in his sentence, the entire time he had a massive grin on his face.....now, he may have been talking about me or he may have been talking about something else. Thing is, his buddy got a chuckle then instead of seeming concerned with my inquiry, he started grinning. Last i checked, english and french were our only two national languages. That being said, it could have been alot more clear if he had stuck to speaking english instead of switching to a language i clearly wouldn't understand. Professionalism lacking

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review We recently hosted a large function at the Ptarmigan Inn, and everything from the catering to the hotel rooms was absolutely fantastic! The banquet and catering services were top-notch — the food was delicious, well-presented, and perfectly suited for our big group. Whether you’re planning a small gathering or a large event, Ptarmigan Inn handles it all with ease. Their team was professional, well-organized, and made the entire process stress-free. We highly recommend them as one of the best catering services in town! The hotel rooms were clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable. The beds were super cozy, and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. On top of that, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, always ready to go above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality catering in town, we highly recommend Ptarmigan Inn Catering. They’re hands-down one of the best choices for both personal and corporate events.

Savannah's Family Restaurant is an extraordinary dining establishment. I recently indulged in their sauteed goat, which boasted exquisitely tender meat and an exceptional blend of spices.

The Mantle, a Filipino restaurant located on the 3rd floor of Days Inn, offers a diverse menu of dishes from the Philippines. Recently visited by a customer and their daughter, the establishment was recommended by the friendly staff at the visitor center. While the owner was welcoming, the daughter's reception was not as warm. However, what stood out was the unexpectedly excellent quality of Filipino food compared to establishments in San Francisco with an abundance of similar cuisine.
Second floor Filipino dining gem with other offerings, including tacos. The sizzling platters are large for family style dining. All day Filipino breakfast looks tasty but if you don't like your egg yolks raw, make sure you order how you want them cooked! The pancit-rice noodles- is the house specialty, cooked with pork or crispy chicken. The crispy chicken flavor is very tasty and crunchy. Definitely top off your meal with halo-halo, a Filipino dessert not on menu. Plenty of seating for large and small groups. There is a small dance floor with a band set-up and karaoke machine. Plus two pool tables for entertainment. Staff is fast and friendly who make you feel at home.

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.

Nestled in a charming, rustic setting, Yamouri Inn offers travelers a delightful escape that feels just like home. After an exhausting 24-hour drive, guests are welcomed into clean and comfortable rooms that provide the perfect sanctuary for rest. The friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure visitors feel appreciated, offering helpful tips on local dining options and attractions. This older establishment boasts cozy beds adorned with plenty of pillows, making it easy to unwind after a long journey.
It's an older place but the beds are comfortable, the staff friendly, and the burgers at the restaurant are some of the best I have ever had. It's right beside the grocery store as well. Microwaves in the rooms and lots of pillows on your bed.

If I could give no stars I would. First room was hot as hell and there was a bug on the sheet.. not a bedbug just a bug. Then I moved to a cooler room and as I’m sitting in a chair that has gum stuck to the back of it that my shirt keeps sticking to it, I think I see something moving under the chair in the corner. Not thinking anything of it and I keep playing on my phone.. little to see a mouse running across my bathroom floor. I’m not saying all rooms suck but it’s not the best motel to stay at.

I was there for a week for work. The room itself was adequate. Could do with an update, and a good deep clean. The bed was comfortable and the linens were clean. The restaurant was pretty good, service a little slow. Bar was good fun when it was open. Just about everyone was super friendly. Just like everything in town, it was very expensive.

During a brief stop in Hay River on the way to Yellowknife, I had the pleasure of dining at Boardroom Restaurant. My family and I indulged in an array of dishes including wraps, beef chow mein, and lasagna. The portions were impressively generous, leaving us thoroughly satisfied with every bite. The flavors were delightful, making me wish we could have enjoyed more meals there during our visit! The staff was friendly and attentive, contributing to a pleasant dining experience overall.
Decent food, portions are sizeable for a decent price, definitely appreciate that, staff was nice. All in all fine experience. A good meal to satisfy our hunger before our long drive back south to Alberta after visiting for the day.

Well… I’m honestly at a loss for words. I ordered the chicken fried rice with pineapple chicken and beef broccoli combo, and it was a big disappointment. I could literally count the pieces of meat in the entire dish—maybe 2 or 3 at most. The “pineapple chicken” turned out to be mostly huge fried batter balls with tiny bits of chicken hidden inside. It felt like I was paying for flour, not food. The beef broccoli? Barely any beef. Overall, not worth the money. Won’t be ordering again.
Michael E — Google review
I’ve never felt so ripped off, terrible food. The ginger beef was loaded with raw onion. There’s no chicken in the chicken fried rice, and the noodle dishes literally had two pieces of meat in each. There’s only thing that was good was the can of Pepsi. The $19.95 Singapore noodles was nothing but $2 worth of noodles. I thought the other one in town was bad, but this takes the cake

Do not let exaggerated reviews deter you from visiting Diamante Restaurant. The staff is friendly, accommodating, and polite without being arrogant. The prime rib special on Fridays is tasty and the portion sizes are generous. They also offer refreshing and unique drinks. Although some may find the prices higher than fast-food options, the quality of food justifies it. Their house-made pasta is delicious, making it a great choice for families with children.
The food here is delicious (house made pasta), they are great with kids, and on Friday and Saturdays they have a pianist! Such a wonderful comfortable atmosphere.

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.

Surprised this place doesn't have more reviews. Located inside the legislative building, it's easy to miss but definitely worth stopping by if you're staying at any of the nearby hotels. Gluten-friendly options available for those who need it.

Nestled in Hay River, Woodland Wok & Grill is a charming family-run establishment that transports you back to the 1980s with its nostalgic decor. Despite its retro vibe, the real star here is undoubtedly the food. Diners rave about dishes like the outstanding Wor Wonton and flavorful Five Color Bowl, while deep-fried squid rings offer a delightful crunch paired with a dip that could use some improvement.
They have some great food being served and delivered. Plus they treat you like you are family.

The food is really good. The only negative thing I'm gonna say is that 1 of the people in my party.

That are dusted with flour and I won't deny.I threw them in the garbage.

Ok, the place is clean, but it's right out of the 1980's decor wise. It's redeeming quality is the food and wait staff. Had the Wor Wonton (outstanding), deep fried squid rings (rings were very good, dip was a little sad), and my dining partner had some western Chinese combo platter (the ginger beef was very good). Waitress was very attentive, food arrived shockingly quick and hot. For the Wor Wonton this is now my favourite restaurant in Hay River.

Cai's Kitchen Authentic Chinese Food is a true culinary treasure nestled in the vibrant heart of Yellowknife. This charming eatery masterfully combines traditional Chinese flavors with contemporary flair, creating an inviting atmosphere that welcomes diners to indulge in a memorable meal. The restaurant prides itself on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to prepare its diverse menu, which features everything from savory stir-fries and mouthwatering dim sum to an impressive selection of dumplings, noodles, rice dishes, and more.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at a hidden gem in Yellowknife, located on the third floor of the Nova Inn. This restaurant offers a refreshing take on Chinese cuisine, with a setting and vibe that stand out from the usual. The atmosphere is clean and quiet, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful meal. The menu is impressively extensive, featuring everything from dumplings and noodles to rice, poultry, and fish dishes. I was impressed by the variety and quality of the offerings. The service was efficient and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. For those with a sweet tooth, they also offer a selection of bubble tea and cakes, which was a pleasant surprise. Given that there aren’t many Chinese dining options in Yellowknife, this spot definitely earns a thumbs up for both its food and ambiance.

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.

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.

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.

Main Street Donair & Falafel is a Lebanese food vendor situated in the food court area of Centre Square Mall. They offer an assortment of delicious Lebanese dishes, which customers can either take-out or enjoy in a sit-down setting. The restaurant's friendly staff allows patrons to sample various menu items before making their choice. The portion sizes are generous and fulfilling, with both the beef and chicken options receiving positive reviews. Notably, the beef possesses a more robust flavor compared to its poultry counterpart.
Excellent food and in-house made sauces and garnishes. The beef is so much better and more flavorful than other places I have tried down south. Friendly, local family owned business.

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.

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.

The quality is excellent, and they provide a wide variety of freshly made Vietnamese food that can be customized to your liking.

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.
