Taylors Lakes Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Melbourne

DO NOT RECOMMEND. THE FRIED RICE WAS MOULDY. THE WORST CHINESE FOOD I'VE EVER HAD. DANGER. This was my first time at this place. My partner and i were travelling through on our way home from Melbourne. We started out with the worst, most disgusting, dry and stringy satay chicken skewers I have ever had. The sauce looked and tasted as if it came from a jar of chicken tonight. I hoped the mains would be better. We were wrong. The special fried rice smelled funny and on closer inspection had a big blob of mould in the centre. It was obvious by the mould and the texture of the rice that it had been reheated more than once and not cooked fresh.(photos added) The lemon chicken were leathery balls of battered chicken that were also not fresh. The chicken was dry and the batter was not crispy. The lemon sauce was fluorescent yellow and tasted like cooked lemon cordial, absolutely awful. The pork with plum sauce and veg was straight from the microwave. The vegetables were limp and leathery as if the weren't fresh when the meal was prepared and had been reheated more than once. We left the food without eating beyond a taste of each but when we saw the mould we could not eat anymore. We left 95% of our meal. We received a discount for the mouldy rice. The table ware was broken and the tines of the forks were bent. The soy sauce lid was also broken. I am 49 years old. Being a kid of the 70s I've eaten a lot of chinese food in my life. This was the worst chinese food me and my partner have ever had. EVER. DO NOT EAT HERE. I feel sick to my stomache. I WOULD NOT FEED THIS TO MY WORST ENEMY....

My partner and I were drying our clothes at the laundromat next door and decided to check out the menu at this restaurant while wondering what to have for dinner. After looking it over, we chose to dine in. That’s when we were told the dine-in prices were higher than what was printed on the original menu. The person at the counter then brought out a separate menu with inflated prices, which already felt misleading.

To make things worse, she bluntly said she’d prefer we not dine in because she didn’t want to wash dishes. We were shocked by the attitude. We left quietly—and unsurprisingly, they didn’t seem to care.

I’m genuinely glad we didn’t spend a single cent there. This review is simply to caution anyone considering a visit. What I’ve shared is exactly what happened on June 25,...

DO NOT GIVE YOUR MONEY TO THIS "RESTAURANT" THIS WAS THE WORST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE EVER EATEN IN MY WHOLE LIFE! ALL OF THE MEAT DISHES TASTED ROTTEN, LIKE THE MEAT HAD GONE BAD AND THEN HAD BEEN WASHED! Please don't support this business with your money - it only encourages them. These people have no concept of food health safety and should be investigated, before someone gets sick and dies...
