"So Asian It Hurts"

Greetings Avid Readers,

2010.12.13
That's right, so Asian it hurt my stomach. Walking into the Oriental design of what used to be Granville RSL Buffet, this seemingly newly renovated restaurant superseded the yardstick of any average Chinese restaurant of my expectations...

But no, disappointingly it was just another Asian restaurant. Apologies about this ruthless review of:

(I can't even google the name of this restaurant under this new management! So I'll just say the old name):
"Granville RSL Sub Branch Club
5 Memorial Dr,
Granville 2142

(02) 9637 7888"
I will be honest, the service and consequently, the value of this place was definitely poor. However, the taste of the food was fair.

The management was unorganized as there was food shortage for an expected busy time of the year. I hate to continue, but I don't think this restaurant deserves a second chance due to the inadequacy of a supposed dine-in restaurant.

In addition, their understaffed employees were ditzy, confused and charged us for something we did not order. So if you ever do wound up going, double check the bill!

Here were the dishes we were cornered to order due to their shortage of stock:

Ginger And Shallot Crab With Noodles
We ordered Lobster, but there were none left!














Pipi in XO














Squall (Baby Pigeon)
A dish we had to choose because everything had 'sold out'
And that we had to eat something to get full






 
Jellyfish




















Chinese Beef Jerky
They enveloped it in Wasabi...
to the point that it was excruciatingly spicy
I wonder what they were trying to cover up.





















I am not normally too harsh on the service because I understand (through being a waitress myself) that everyone makes mistakes, there are misunderstandings and always a bit of confusion since we're not on the direct train of thought with the boss.

But these staff were ungracious and quite rude upon us finding out that our bill had misprints on it. They even accused us that we DID eat that lobster...
