I have been coming to this location for years but.... today was Victoria day, and I arrived for lunch with my boyfriend. there were 2 other customers present at the time that we ordered, and the k-pop playing through the aux chord was so obnoxiously loud that staff could not hear each other, let alone our order... and we could barely hear or talk to each other during our meal. They'd also let their phone ring OVER THE RESTAURANT SOUND SYSTEM while standing around ignoring it- fully oblivious to how disturbing this was to everyone trying to eat lunch.
I also must say that a solid 5-6 of my dumplings were much smaller than the rest of my basket (chicken & coriander, steamed).. and.. my guess is that those tiny dumplings were made with whatever remnants of filling were left in the mixing bowl. My best guess is that, by the time the filling was used up, it went bad.. meaning, they do not take proper precautions with handling raw poultry/meat. I literally mean that I would bite into a dumpling and the taste was that of rancid chicken or rancid broth. So I'd spit into a napkin, and hope the next one was ok. That is NOT OKAY and goes to show how little f*cks they truly give.
I told my waitress... she got nervous.. She apologized, but I still had to pay for my half rotten meal. When I paid, the change owed to me was literally put into the tip tray. The staff has never been the most attentive, but this new batch of employees is absolutely unimpressive, unprofessional and awkward. I'm not sure I will ever have the time to risk salmonella, or the courage to go back to Qing Hua. FULLY unpleasant, unacceptable experience. So sad!!
