| - Warning. This review is intentionally biased. My rating is based on the fact that I would have walked out and have never eaten here had my fiancé not talked me around into waiting some more then actually eating here.
Wonton Chai is a small, Chinese run wonton place that has a small number of seats, simple decor and large portions of wonton and noodles.
We arrived hungry on a Saturday morning and there was a lineup. So we picked up a number in the queue and went out for a walk. There was a dollarama in the plaza so we went to browse dollarama then returned to the restaurant 15 minutes later.
When we returned, the server told us that our number in the queue was called and we had to take a new number and wait some more. I wasn't too pleased, but those were the rules so we got a number and waited at the restaurant. After waiting the queue another 10 minutes or so, other customers were seated and our party of 2 was first in the queue.
At the is point, another family of 3 came in and picked up a number in the queue behind us. About 5 minutes after that, a large party finished their meal and left the restaurant, freeing up a table for 6. The server then came and asked if we wanted to share a table. We declined, the other family said they were ok with sharing and the server skipped them ahead of us in the queue and seated them at the large table.
Unbelievable.
They didn't end up sharing with anybody because nobody else was in the line, but we had to wait some more. I was now mad and ready to leave Wonton Chai.
My fiancé talked me out of it and we eventually got a table and ordered some food.
To be fair, Wonton Chai has reasonable prices, large portions and tasty Wonton and noodles. I ordered the two item noodles with beef slices and beef brisket. My fiancé ordered the two item noodles with Shrimp Wonton and dumplings.
The portions of food were large. The prices were reasonable. But poor service which cause our table waiting fiasco made me not enjoy the restaurant.
1.0 / 5.0
