My Yen Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Adelaide

We found our visit to the restaurant not a pleasing one and a decision maker not to return. Firstly the fried rice was just rice with 3 prawns and half a dozen peas. It was very disappointing. The meals came out loaded with onions and very little of the primary dish. Service staff were short and abrupt and attempted to clear whilst meals were clearly not finished.

Have eaten from here quite a few times, tonight's order however was terrible. Black pepper beef tasted like it had no black pepper but instead had tomato sauce on it. Beef kway teow had no wok flavour, or really any flavour. Under seasoned. Salt and pepper pork was ok, honey prawns was ok but prawns were small and batter was falling off. Really the beef and noodles were terrible, main reason I was motivated to write this review. Wouldn't recommend unless they go back to how the flavours were...
