| - I did notice a few people eating the mixed Wok pot that one of the reviewers mentioned. I think I'll need to try that next time. In the meantime, the reason behind my middle of the road rating is this;
In a nut shell, I was craving a good pre-dinner snack, so I ordered one of my favourite simple and easy Chinese-go-to's: Sliced BBQ Pork with rice (and in this case it came with two over easy fried eggs, plus some broccoli and some splashes of soy - I assume - sauce).
The issue was the thick meaty slices of meat in the photo were not what arrived. What I received was very fatty and much thinner than the slices pictured. It was so different that I presented it to the server and then the manager/owner. After a friendly back and forth discussion, he diligently returned my plate to the kitchen. A little while later he pleasantly returned it with a better looking selection of slices. Not to the level of the photo, but definitely an improvement.
It turned out to be flavourful, and with eggs over rice became pretty darn filling. The one other issue was the broccoli became stone cold. I needed my greens, so I ate them, but would have been nicer, if warmed up.
Ironically a guy at the next table had ordered the same thing (his was even thicker and meatier than even my replacement), so hmm - the reason I was given for the fat, and this may explain the two other dishes is that they started cutting from the edge of a new piece and the fat, gave way to more meaty slices as they kept slicing inwards. If so, they should try to keep the plates looking relatively the same, or change the photo to match the average portion supplied.
Overall, this place reminded me of certain Chinese quick serve places I'd seen in my travels, neat, modern and enticing. As I began my review, now I'm really craving that mixed Wok pot.
