My first time at this cute spot and it was such a great experience!! I can’t wait to come back to try the buffalo chicken Mac & cheese! The lemonade with berries was amazing, as well as the Bang Bang noodles. My friends got the eggs benny and the Dan Kim noodles and said how tasty they both were. Definitely recommend!
New place for delicious Asian fusion food. Everyone is very friendly and the dishes we had were great! The Kimchi is made in house and has a bright fresh taste. We'll be coming back for sure
If you haven’t been here yet, you are missing out. My sister in law and I stopped in today for lunch. Service was great. Owner and his sons were extremely friendly. I would give 10 if I could.
We spotted this restaurant while waiting for a red light. Last second decision to pull in and we are so glad we did. We were greeted by the chef when we walked in and seated right away. Freshly squeezed raspberry lemonade was incredible. We had Mac and cheese and drunken noodles. The flavours were incredible! We loved the vibe, the food and the small staff were fantastic. Wish we lived closer so we could visit more often.
What an amazing spot for lunch. My boyfriend and I ate here on Sunday. There was a little bit of a wait as it was busy and it is a small family staff, however, the food was incredible and the staff was very attentive and apologetic for the wait. I will say this though, we would happily wait again. The food was just wonderful. Every table left with a smile on their face. The Chef/Owner came around to the tables to greet customers. What a fantastic spot. Definitely worth it.
I always find the food here to be quite special. The staff cares about your experience, and the vibe is very cool as well with the novel art on display.
Tucked away on Dundas Street in Paris, ON, Secret Lunch is a hidden gem inside what first presents as graffiti-covered garage. The smell of a Traeger grill greeted us before we even climbed out of our over-stuffed Uber. I wandered in with strangers I’d recently met staying at the same hotel and attending the same tradeshow, and from the moment we stepped inside, the welcoming, down-to-earth owner/chef made us feel like old friends. The quirky, intimate atmosphere is just the start, but the food is where this place truly shines. I ordered the Dankim, a dish of spicy noodles with homemade kimchi, and it was incredible, the perfect balance of heat and tang. Each dish felt crafted with care, and the 5 kids' meals make it a family friendly stop. Despite the laid-back vibe, the menu is anything but ordinary. Before we left, the owner surprised us with delicious homemade butter tarts and sat with us after closing, sharing local stories and lots of laughter, making the experience even more special. If you find yourself in Paris, Ontario, Secret Lunch is more than just a meal, it’s an unforgettable experience wrapped in the most unexpected of places.
This spot means business! The quality of food is spectacular. Hats off to the chef, really wish we grabbed his name cause he was extremely talented and courteous. We had the Dan Dan noodles and the Tteokbokki Beef; my husband and I were astonished after our first bite
