We had visited this place a few years ago, while travelling through town, and the food was good. While staying in sault st Marie, we made a point to eat there today. Big mistake!
The restaurant is quite large, and when we visited, supper time, it was empty. The decor is old, shabby, and dated- it was dark, and smelled of stale of cigarette smoke, dust and sadness. There was no delicious smell of food cooking.
We began by ordering tea, which was served in big mugs with advertising on them - the kind you get free as a promotion. Bad start ...
My meal was a disappointment. We started with egg rolls. The inside was basically raw bean sprouts and little else. Seemed to take forever to chew. The chicken balls were rubbery (almost like they were re-heated in a microwave?) Almost impossible to cut with a knife. I was not able to eat the doughy outsides. My 'fried rice' was basically white rice with soya sauce, and one pea.
I had 2 deep fried shrimps, no lemon, but at least they were edible.
The biggest disappointment was the chop suey!! Basically raw bean sprouts, with a few slivers of onion. No taste. No sauce. No veggies or meat. I ordered a side of chow mein noodles, hoping they would help. But instead of the fried crunchy noodles, I was given a small paper container with stale pretzle-like stick things - yuk.
I mentioned my concerns to our server, and she apologized profusely and took the cost of the dried noodles off my bill. .50 cents.
I spoke to her again about my inedible meal, and she apologized again, and reluctantly agreed to take 10% off. My meal. She returned with a new bill - minus $1.40. I won't return and will not recommend this place to anyone.
