| - I came here for lunch on a Friday & the place was pretty busy. Smelled amazing when I first walked in, and I was excited to eat! The wonton soup arrived; different broth flavour than I was expecting, and it had mushrooms, fried wontons and noodles in it... Unusual, not great, but edible. Then the harumaki arrived and reeked so strongly of fish that I didn't even want to put the plate in front of me! I cut off a piece, tried it with the sauce on the plate, and had to wash it down with water so i wouldn't gag. Revolting.
The main course was the General Tao. What a disaster. Large pieces of baked chicken just positively drowning in sauce. This was not general tao. The sauce wasn't flavoured well, wasn't sticky, the chicken wasn't what you'd expect (smaller, fried pieces of chicken)... There was so much sauce, I don't know if they were trying to make their enormous plates look full? (these plates are the size of 2 dinner plates). We skipped the tea cause we figured they'd probably do that horribly too.
I think people are giving this place good reviews simply cause it's a BYOW! I can't understand what else would be pleasant about this place otherwise.
Never going back!
