| - Would have rated 4 stars for decent food if not for the TERRIBLE management and service. This place falsely advertised and blatantly lied to us...BEWARE! The waitress pushed hard for us to try a six-dish Northern-Chinese style appetizer platter, of which she emphasized over and OVER as cheap for the amount of food we get! Just $11.99! It was also written in BLACK AND WHITE as so on a menu insert. She told us that the table across from us also ordered it earlier, making it sound like a popular option! Because it was $11.99, it sounded like a good deal, and we decided to order it to try.
When the waitress left us the bill, we were surprised that it was listed as $16.99. We called the waitress back, and asked her about it. She said it's actually $16.99. It's written wrong on the menu insert. She responded rudely with no apology whatsoever. They did not honour the advertised $11.99 that she had kept telling us, even though it was their mistake...While we paid a few dollars more at $16.99, we couldn't help but feel scammed by their tactics!!!
One would think that since the menu is not new, the menu insert would've been easily reprinted by now if it was a mistake, or how hard is it to cross out (or white out) and write $16.99 instead? I see that all the time at other restaurants if they need to change the price.
If it was an honest mistake, the waitress would've told us the moment she found out, or mentioned it when she left the bill. But she left us to discover the price change on the bill ourselves and had to call her over, and they did not apologize or give us the original advertised price. No integrity at all.
Also, the wall by the fish tank is covered in a thick layer of green slime and mould. This is a health concern and does not look like it's been cleaned off in a long time. Our table was right under it. Makes me wonder how clean the kitchen would be...
As I said the food is decent. The Chef Special, Dried Shrimps Sticky Rice with Stir Fried Lobster was on point! The sticky rice soaked up the lobster juices and was flavourful. Their steamed minced pork (????) was also well done. As were their chinese herbal soups...
However, the satisfactory food was not enough to overcome the poor service and being scammed on our bill, which left us with a lingering taste of bitter disatisfaction.
Visit at your own risk.
