| - The Perfect Chinese should change its name to the Defect Chinese Restaurant... Oh wait... I don't think that will do much to up its slumping reputation.
This restaurant has been around for a long time. It was at the height of its popularity at the time right before they took over the store space next to them and expanded and redecorated...
The only thing that is preventing me from giving it a 1 star is that the food is actually not bad. The service however... Ouf! If I could give 0 stars I would for their service.
The last time we were there, it was 10AM, and after about 30 minutes of not seeing the beloved Shrimp Dumplings Cart our 2 tables of 16 people total decided to get the bill and venture to another Dim Sum venue. The service was non-existent, and so we didn't leave much of a tip considering that they really were just open for the sake of being open.
When we went to pay the bill at the counter, they had the nerve to ask us for tips. To which we said - for what service? Hey, if you have the balls to ask for tips when you provide no service, we will have the balls to tell you why you aren't getting any!
There may be one exception that would bring me back to this place. And it would go a little like this...
Me - I'm kind of craving some seafood baked rice. Don't really want to drive all the way up to the PMall area to find a HK-style diner... *light bulb goes on* Wait, they serve it at the Perfect Chinese at Dim Sum Prices... *arrives at Perfect Chinese* Sits down... orders nothing and waits until the Seafood Baked Rice comes. Devour it. Ask for the bill, drop $4. Leave.
IMHO, the only reason why this place is still open is because:
1) Its cheap
2) Its open 24 hours, therefore, it caters to the Casino Rama crowd who come back in the wee hours of the morning
Avoid at all costs!
