Kai Sun Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Mudgee

If the young bloke who takes your takeaway order in person says, '10 to 15 minutes', don't believe him. And don't prepay.

I thought it would be easy. Pop in, order 4 dishes plus rice, go and grab a couple of things from a shop nearby, then collect the order on my way back to my car.

Everything was fine up to the 'collect lunch' bit.

I returned to the Kai Sun and the young bloke took one look at me and went to the kitchen. I sat down and expected him to return with my lunch. I'd been gone 20 minutes, and he'd quoted 10 to 15 minutes, so...

No lunch appeared. I waited.

Walk-ins were seated and given menus, and orders taken, by the young bloke. I waited.

The walk-ins drinks were served. I was still waiting, but now I was actively trying to catch the young bloke's eye, and he was clearly avoiding it.

40 minutes after ordering, I sat waiting and watching people eat food that hadn't even been ordered when I returned to collect mine.

Then I remembered I had frozen goods in the car. I drove home and put them in the freezer and return to Kai Sun.

There is now a bag of takeaway food on the counter. Luckily another person is at the counter to be served so the young bloke can't escape me.

One hour after ordering in person, he puts the bag in front of me and starts listing the contents.

I ask him if the bag was sitting there while I was ignored, when I'd come back the first time. He didn't answer. I asked again, pointing out that he'd told me 10 or 15 minutes. So, how long had the bag been sitting there?

Then Dori Evans and Mrs Jessup got involved, telling me that he's only just brought the bag to the counter.

Having now had one single bite of what used to be a prawn cutlet, I can confidently say the food was ready within 10 to 15 minutes... and it then sat out the back for about 40 minutes more, while the young bloke did his best to make sure I didn't get what I'd paid for.

I'll go back maybe when school holidays are over and my food intake is no longer at the mercy of children with attitude...

I had dinner at this Chinese restaurant yesterday and it was the worst experience I had among all the Chinese restaurants in Australia. First, there were a lot eggshells in the combination omelette I ordered. I only took two bites and ask them to redo one and I took it away as my lunch today. Then I found there was just very little meat and definitely no shrimp in the redo one. However, the amount of meat and shrimp in the first combination omelette with eggshell looks more reasonable. There is even no apology when it was found so many eggshells in the omelette! Second, I waited for about one and half hours for two main dishes, while the restaurant only had 5 tables seated people at that time. Last, I am a chinese from China. Honestly speaking, the taste of this Chinese restaurant is not...

Of all the places I've eaten world wide, and believe me, I've been around the block quite a few times, this is the best of the worse, the crown winner! We have been talking about this place for years and had the best laughs ever! It all started when they refused to understand me asking for Broccoli "the Italian Way". Only after adding the Aussie "Broc-co-lay" slang she went ahead and took the order. The order was "Broccolay" and Tofu to Go. It basically came out with a mush of the two ingredients swimming in brown sauce...... it's still kinda of hard to describe how a chef can create such a slimey concoction. Let me just add that Even the white rice wasn't eatable. Anyhow, we paid and thank them. Then we tried to feed it to a dog but it...
