Have always been a fan of swatow, but after yesterday's experience it left me upset and disappointed.
Took a friend out for lunch and ordered shrimp dumpling soup which was good as always. Than ordered general tao chicken and a side of steamed vegetables. The "steamed vegetables" turned out to be just steam Chinese brocolli (a bit misleading). The bigger issue I had was when I found a thick elastic band in my general tao chicken. At first I thought maybe it was a piece of tofu covered in sauce, but after further inspection it turned out it was 100% an thick elastic band.
I called the server over and pointed out elastic band in my dish. She then asked if I want a re order or have it removed from my bill. In my opinion, i think I should of been comped my whole meal but I am not one to argue.
I wasn't going to originally post this review since I did enjoy this restaurant prior. But I figured it'd be better to warn others so that they can be aware in case it happens again.
