| - The MSG, they put so much in everything I did not stop drinking water the whole time and after.
Six people (4 adults and 2 kids) came for dinner tonight, we ordered a 5 pound lobster and Peking duck set dinner for 6-8 persons for $148 (with fine print of cash only). It was a disappointment from the moment we sat down. We were seated in a tiny table good for 4-5 people. We asked to be reseated to a larger table knowing that we would be ordering the set dinner and supposedly a lot of food, the server refused and said "dishes don't all come at once". I find that a pretty rude response. The Peking duck was alright, basic and nothing out of the ordinary. The seafood shark fin soup did not have a trace of shark fin. I know shark fin had been outlawed, but would be nice to have a few fake substitutes, or else they should rename the soup to something else and don't call it "?". The quantity served was also not as advertised on the menu as we got only six small bowls about 80% full. I wonder who would be without soup if there were actually eight people at the table. Perhaps they withheld our soup knowing that there were only six of us, but that is bad business practice. The lobster was also on the side of small, more like a four pounder than a five. We were never shown the lobster before it was cooked. We ordered the lobster in ginger and onion style, and likewise the ginger and onion were scant. When the table was quickly running out of room for more dishes, we noticed two things happening: first they stopped serving any more dishes altogether, and when that only worked for a time, they tried to make room by consolidating and/or moving the food to a smaller dish. In doing so the server moved the lettuce leaves over to the duck meat, without first asking us if that would be okay. The server appeared annoyed when I told her that I did not want her transferring (the lettuce was wet and would add water to the duck meat). She just shook her head and infuriatingly moved the lettuce over to a smaller dish. When I pointed out to her the leftover water on the dish, she did nothing about it and marched away. The Yee Foo noodle with abalone sauce was tasteless, but the super amount of msg was so evident that my mouth immediately craved for water. The fish was about half the size of what other restaurants serve in the area. For a dinner that was advertised for up to 8 people, and we had only four adults and two kids, there should have been plenty of food left over, but that was not the case. In fact I was still feeling hungry at the end of the meal. The same server who refused to re-seat us brought us the check before we ever asked for it. Overall, not a pleasant experience, both food quality and service wise. My grading based on quality of food and price, I give it a one star. Not recommended.
