Bordertown Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Bordertown

This was my review 2 years ago:. 4 Stars - Helen and Tim alway provide the friendliest and nicest service. Food is great too. Highly recommended.

This is my review Sep 2021: Terrible standard for food. One star only. I can't believe that the standard of cooking has become so bad. I ordered sweet and sour pork, honey lemon chicken and special fried rice. Traditionally the two main dishes come with vegies and cooked in their sauce. These weren't and instead where reheated dishes with no vegies and sauces supplied in separate containers. The special fried rice was barely recognized as anything special. It's obvious they have lost their passion for cooking and simply reheating frozen food.... I've never eaten such poor quality Chinese food or any food from a licenced restuarant. Sorry guys I was a big fan but not now....

On the restaurant’s website it says take away or eat in. We went to the restaurant and it was empty. I asked can we eat in? The younger lady said no, it’s just take away. We found a menu and decided quickly what to have. In the meantime while all this was going on the older female and a man behind the counter was chatting to this local man and ignoring us. We waited to be acknowledged and 10min passed still no recognition. We then looked at each other with my partner and decided to leave. No byes etc. Very disappointed Also very expensive...

I was extremely disappointed with the standard of food we received from our last visit. We ordered beef with vegetables and cashew chicken both with special fried rice. There was so much rice which was dry and tasteless as there was almost no sauce with either dish. This food didn't even taste anything like authentic Chinese, and definitely was not worth the money we paid for it. We have supported the Chinese restaurant in Bordertown regularly for the past 20 - 30 years, but this is the worst we have ever had. Unfortunately we may never eat...
