It’s great to get out of the house and experience a wonderful meal in Kingston – there’s the ambiance, the company, and revelling in the joy of being waited on before your meal arrives. But sometimes you don’t want to worry about making yourself look presentable and actually venture outdoors, and instead just want to stay content in your onesie while you continue with your Netflix binge. That’s okay; we don’t judge. Below are some of Kingston’s best options for diverse and delicious food that requires as little effort on your part as possible.

3. Dong Nai
523 Princess Street

Finding decent pho outside of Toronto – let alone pho that can be delivered to your door – can be a grueling undertaking. Often, you end up ingesting a lot of substandard attempts in your quest before discovering the right mix of broth and rice noodles that leave you feeling like all is right in the world. While it isn’t perfect, the Vietnamese-style pho at Dong Nai is certainly nothing to sneer at, so go ahead and order some Chagio while you’re at it and pass the Sriracha sauce, because you’ll be hard pressed to find anything better within the city limits. To order, call 613.544.7729.
You should try: Pho, Spring Rolls, Pad Thai, Bun Thit Nuong
4. Sushi Ya
768 Princess Street

Before you balk at the thought of sushi on delivery, you should know that since opening in 2008, Sushi Ya is notorious for serving up some of the best fusion of Japanese and Korean cuisine in Kingston. Family-owned Sushi Ya focuses on providing their clientele with nothing but the freshest fixings in their meals, with their head chef venturing to Toronto personally each week to source ingredients. For consistently excellent sushi at an affordable price, Sushi Ya ranks among the best that Kingston has to offer. When dining in, not enough can be said about the prompt and friendly service. To order, call 613.530.2546.

5. Wing Central
97 Bath Road
wingcentralkingston.com
I don’t know about you, but sometimes the four standard wing flavours (mild, medium, hot and honey garlic) get a bit boring. Of course, wings in virtually any form could be enjoyed, but why limit your choices when Wing Central offers 88 different wing varieties for delivery? If you’re in need of something to go along with your order (and come on, we know you do), try some of their fresh cut fries, salads, wraps or choose from their plethora of appetizers. But be warned that pub rules apply: Wing Central is quick and dirty (in the best way), so don’t order around any self-proclaimed foodies. To order, call 613.544.9464.
