| - I'm done with this place. Even though the food is really good, the troubles I've experienced is not worth it.
First of all, we had booked a table for 12 on Thursday for 8:30. We were told to be there by 8:15. We arrived at 8 and were told that there was no record of our reservation. They didn't really want to accommodate us, and expected us to leave. Unacceptable, where is a group of 12 supposed to go? It's not like we called in to book a reservation, my mother physically came in and saw them writing our reservation down the day before. After a lot of going back and forth and finally going to the manager, they magically found us a table.
Dishes as usual was delicious, which is why I gave it the 3 stars. However, another HUGE mistake was that they gave us a dead eel for one of the dishes instead of a live one. Probably figured that bc we're CBC that we wouldn't know the difference of how a fresh one is supposed to taste. That eel was also drenched in extremely salty sauce which is a trick that restaurants do to disguise food that is not fresh. WTH. We ate one piece and knew. When an eel is freshly prepared, the meat is bouncy and sticks to the bones. The fried fish dish was completely inedible. I don't know where the meat in the fish was, since it was basically just fried skin, bones and hollow insides.
Our total bill was just a few dollars shy of $800. At that price, I expect almost perfection.
My recommendation is that you should double check that your reservation has been kept, since this also happened to a few other people I know, and to bring someone very Chinese, so they don't trick you with unfresh fish.
