The start of my Mother's Day weekend treat? - unfortunately not. What a disappointment. I ordered Crispy Duck to start, - the duck was not served at the table and shredded in front of the customer as in countless other Chinese restaurants, but brought out already in what was supposed to be shredded meat, but was in fact, so obviously luke warm left overs and proved to be inedible; it was virtually made up of gristle and fat - truly awful. the waitress wasn't interested in the fact that 90% was still on the serving plate and the remainder on my plate, so I explained to her that I couldn't eat it and was met with no reaction. The main courses, sweet & sour chicken, twice cooked pork and chicken in chilli sauce was unbelievably bad - re-constituted chicken and roast pork sliced and then warmed up and thrown in a sauce, all dishes unbelievably bad, only one saving grace, the sweet & sour sauce was acceptable
Needless to say when we received the bill, the crispy duck was charged for and we had to explain to no less than 3 members of staff why we thought we shouldn't be charged for something we didn't - no couldn't eat!! - in the end, the manager had to be called for and we had to explain once again and eventually it was taken off the bill.
I will never visit this restaurant again. Surly staff, dreadful food, why would you? read more
