We just went to a really good Cantonese restaurant. This place was amazing as it really did look classy and the food was incredible. But there were a few things which made this restaurant less than five-stars.
1. Location: First we had to walk through the darkest alley we could find. I was expecting to walk into an opium den. Then we had to walk through an arcade and out the other end into an even darker alley. A little ways down this alley was the resturaunt
2. Limited selection: They had a great sizzling plate of chicken which looked good. But we were there late so the guy came back later to tell me there was no chicken in the kitchen. Okay, fair enough. Then I choose the donkey meat. Nope, still no dice. Soft-Shelled turtle? Nope. Eventually I had to settle for the sizzling beef. I would have loved to try the turtle.
3. Language barrier. After they told us that the options were not available, they never brought back the menus to choose new things . We had to go and take menus from them. We tried asking them for menu's but I guess our mandarin has too thick of an English accent to be understood by the Cantonese living in a Mandarin-invaded city.
4. The love shack: While this may be a name my Dad calls his weekend house, it also applies to this restaurant. One of the waiters was making out with a girl in a booth not to far from us. The manager came and yelled at him, and he went back to work for a moment, but the girl stayed right where she was.
Despite all of that, it was the second hottest chinese food I have ever tasted and was probably the best I have had. I'd go back!
