Dundas Spring Garden

Ordered on Chinese delivery app last night, noodles tasted off at first but I just thought they didn’t make it properly (also didn’t taste that good but it was cheap) didn’t think it was a safety concern at first. I woke up severely dehydrated and wanting to puke, spent morning and afternoon drinking water and trying not to throw up. Not sure if it was food poisoning but never ordering here again.

Ordered on Skip rice noodles with chicken and veggies. Rice noodles arrived in separate container - completely overcooked. Then I got another container with very weird looking sauce mixed with some veggies and little tiny maybe 5 pieces of something that was supposed to be chicken.. combined everything in a bowl.. awful meal.. just awful.. never again.

The herbal chicken hotpot was closer to a sesame chicken hotpot. The flavor was good but the overall dish lacked cohesion and finesse. We were told we had to order a whole chicken even though they had half a chicken on the menu.

Preface this by saying we ordered on Christmas Day so I would give some leeway for being busy but looking at other reviews maybe not. Pan fried pork and chive dumplings arrived strangely browned and soaked in oil but eatable. The main problem was the roast duck & mixed veg dish. It arrived soaked in a gloopy clear sauce like mucous, and not in the way gravy/fat can gellify when its cold. Maybe I'm being an ignorant white woman here but it's quite disgusting just to look at let alone eat. The veg themselves seemed basically raw but fine and there was a good potion of meat, but the skin was all soggy. Most it is inedible, an absolute waste of money.

Huge difference in takeout vs delivery. Ordered via Uber on a Wednesday night, delivery was real quick but the food was disappointing. Shrimp fried rice had only a handful shrimps hidden under a mountain of rice. Pretty sure the meat in the kung pao chicken was not chicken. It was shredded to such tiny pieces that there was absolutely no way to tell what the meat was. Flavours and portions were good but the overall experience could have been better if they had not skimmed on the main ingredients.
