Carnivore Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Has anyone ordered food recently? If so....Good or Bad Experience? (We did hear recently that a new chef was to totally to blame for the bad experiences a month ago.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NLU Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I hope that you mean that that 'new chef' is now an 'old chef!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted May 21, 2020 Report Share Posted May 21, 2020 Unfortunately the QC problems with this restaurant go back a lot longer than a chef or two. Too bad, nice dining room, would be great to have decent Chinese here as an alternative. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Sounds like the place needs a Gordon Ramsey makeover. A good steam cleaning and degreasing, coming back on a regular basis. All expired condiments and ingredients destroyed. Most of all a new attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 And hide the salt shaker, too much made food inedible, we sent it back, paid for drinks and never went back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the food is lousy and too much salt. The only good meal I ever had there was breakfast and I prefer other restaurants for that also.

Carnivore Posted May 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Since nobody actually responded to the opening post we decided to update our own opinion. Having had the opportunity to experience Chinatown eateries in Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, Montreal, New York and Boston* (*the very best) we feel that we know and appreciate Chinese food. We ordered for delivery last week. They close at 7:00p.m. and we were told that we would have our order delivered just before 7:00p.m. We ordered 2 orders of Egg-Rolls; an order of their "House" Lo-Mein; an order of their "House" Egg Foo Young and an order of their Moo Goo Guy Pan. Total Price:$560.00MN - Suggested tip for driver $30.00MN (Ridiculous!). Our order arrived at 6:55p.m. Everything was well packaged and hot. (Sides of Hot Mustard, Plum Sauce, Chili Sauce) As there were only two of us there was sufficient of everything for a full meal the following day. The best food and value of all that we have had delivered during the "shut down". That includes: Blue Rose, Tepetate Pian Thai and Bruno's. (We also liked all three of the other restaurants but we now, definitely feel that some of the recent Min Wah posts are "totally suspect"!!) Oh yes, we tipped the driver appropriately! The order of Egg Foo Young (which is the best we've ever eaten) in the delivery container was still appropriately "hot" 45 minutes after delivery! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsktsktsk Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Yeah. Eaten there a number of times and just can't go back anymore. Too bad; not a lot of choices here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringohombre Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Not a dog in this fight, but sometimes here folks that maybe had a bad experience years ago want to regurgitate it over and over. Times change!. Over my 12 years here I have had some great meals there and maybe 1 or 2 mediocre. I take Carnivore at his word of his recent experience. In this difficult situation, why not give them a second chance? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, I did not quote you. My post was a general observation and a comment on a very favorable recent review. I do not look at this as news, so let's save your favorite phrase for real FAKE NEWS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 But gringohombre loves that word. And it gives me a smile every time he uses it. But I aint telling nobody why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently you aren't quite savvy enough to recognise sarcasm when you see it. As for saving it, as you suggest, my suspicion based on your many unwelcome posts is that you should never have used it at all, because you apparently also don't recognize the difference between real news and FAKE NEWS!!!!

johanson Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 You were at a restaurant and I believe I heard you say Fake Foods, the last time I overheard you. You were answering your friend who asked what the fake news was about the restaurant you were at. At least I think that was you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are you to say that my posts are "unwelcome"? And as far as the difference between real news and FAKE NEWS, this is in the eye of the beholder and truth...and again this is the FOOD part of a board for information regarding Lakeside and Guadalajara; so why are you pursuing this here? I did not instigate any of this! Read this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you fixed your "you are a restaurant" text (I also use the EDIT function here). As a great American once said "Can we all get along?". That was Rodney King after the LA riots precipitated by his freeway beat down by cops in 1992. I was right in the middle of all that and saw a lot of destruction and human suffering. We do not have to get down hard on others but it is worthwhile pointing out reality to some who are getting their news and information from dubious sources. Stay safe!.
