I gave this take away a five star review for my last meal and, wow, what a difference to tonight's meal. Noodles in chow mein were very soggy, overcooked and bland. Chicken was slimy/mushy enough to mash with a fork to pap. It seemed like it had been processed or left in artificial tenderising marinade way way too long. Happy family combo states that it is in oyster sauce. It came smothered in black bean sauce (not mentioned on menu) killing the flavour of anything else. I don't like black bean sauce and have never tasted it any in the dozens of times I have ordered this dish before. Unlike the usual delicate thin cut meats the meat was crudely/chunky pieces which made them tough, all except the same mushy pre digested chicken as in the chow mein dish. Deep fried mustard chicken was mostly tiny scrappy little pieces, much smaller than usual. These dishes were all old favourites which I have had over and over again. I complained and was told that they are the same as usual from the same chef. Told that the Happy Family is always like that with black beans. It was the worst meal that I have ever had from them.
Offered 10% off my next order as compensation for a pretty revolting meal that was mostly wasted. Wow! read more
