Golden Dynasty Restaurant — Restaurant in Kitchener

First off I want to start by saying I'm not the type of person to leave a review...good or bad. Even though I should start doing it more. Bought the dinner for 2 a couple nights ago for me and my date. She ate her spring roll before me. I was two bites into mine when I thought something not right here. I asked her how hers was. She said not bad. I asked if it was abnormally soft on the inside and she said yes. I proceeded to take another bite and felt really off to the point I got up and ran to the toilet as I was heaving. Just about thrown up by the time I was able to spit it out in the toilet. I believe there was uncooked chicken or something in the spring roll. Anyways that was a bummer but I continued to eat the rest of my food. Until again I noticed the chicken in my chow mein looked mess up. Like that fake chicken you've probably seen in videos on social media that you don't believe is real. Like look at the pictures I've attached. This chicken looks real poor quality. So didn't eat it. Did eat the chow neon but picked all the pieces of chicken out. The fried rice was good. I feel like it's the same crap chicken in there but it's chopped up much smaller which made it much more edible. The chicken balls were good. What you would typically expect. So basically the spring roll I had was absolutely disgusting and the chicken in the chow mein was questionable. The rest was OK. Won't...

The halls are narrow, so there is limited space for movement. When we came in we were being walked to our table and a server came out from the kitchen behind us, understandable that she wanted to get to the table quickly but we had to follow the pace of the hostess in front. The server hovered over my 4yr old's head with a hot tray of food and was literally pushing at our backs. (it was too narrow and limited space for me to stop and be able to pick her up to walk faster) When we got to our seat that same server nudge myself and daughter aside to place the food for the table next to us. Even they were audibly shocked by this. They later then brought more food to the table next to us and rested the food tray on the back of a chair, but there was a child sitting in that chair. The parents actually put their hand out under the tray to make sure it wouldn't tip over.

The food was alright. Nothing special or super delicious. Greasy more than anything. The sauces were strange tasting.

The tables were never cleared during the meals and no check ins happened for us to order more drinks or other foods.

Would never go here again and sincerely would not...
