Chili Cabin 七里湘 — Restaurant in Mississauga

We did not even try any of their dishes because while we went to the restaurant and attempted to be paying customers, the 1 employee who my party spoke to was dishonest because after we had read the paper menu that listed a dish for $13.99 we said we wanted to buy that one and then he said that $13.99 was the discount price and the full price was $18.99 and while that was possibly irrelevant to our specific situation we still said alright we still want to buy that dish we wanted to try.

Then we offered to pay by debit and he said that they take cash only, which while may be true I still find that hard to believe and when I asked him why the full price was also not listed on the menu along with the discount price, "why were the 2 prices not listed on the menu and the $13.99 price was not listed as the discount price and why the full price was not also listed?" he just said "ya that's the discount price" and he would not elaborate, answer the question I actually asked or give us a real honest answer.

Over all it appeared that he was trying to avoid our patronage and passive aggressively shew us out of the restaurant even though we would have ordered take out and not stayed long anyway Although it is our right to have sat there and ate what we would have paid for if we did.

There was another dish we tried to order and then he said "oh we are all out of that one " as if the dished were pre made and that the restaurant did not just have the raw ingredients to make what people would order.

It felt off and I really wanted to like this place because the food does look really good, when my party attempted to be paying customers we were not served...

I ordered braised pork belly on rice from Uber. In the picture it showed pork belly on rice with greens and marinated egg. What I got instead had very little meat, mostly potatoes on rice and nothing else. Total false advertising from this restaurant.

I cannot eat the potatoes because they were burnt and you can smell how burned it was. The pork was gamey and unclean. The rice was dry like sand. I would rate the veggies and eggs if I actually got any, but it’s a scam.

I called in to try to ask what is going on and the person on the phone hung up as soon as I asked for the owner. Completely unprofessional. Do not eat here.

Edit: See the owner response below with more lies and excuses. Excuses such as "default picture is from uber so it's not our fault". Lies such as how they hung up because I was angry. They prefer to fight the customer than to take criticism and improve their quality. Judge for yourself this response and other responses what kind of business owner this is. I know I won't be coming back and I will tell...

Do not recommend. I was looking forward to trying their soup as I love spicy hotpot and have tried other spicy dishes here before but was very disappointed.

We ordered four soups through uber eats as we saw they had a buy one get one free promotion. The portions were so tiny it seems like they split one soup into 4 containers, one is not at all enough for an adult or even a child. We ordered the mala soups and the tomato soups and did not like the tastes of either. The Mala was slightly more tolerable than the tomato but I would not recommend as there are many much better hot pot places in the area and we even prefer store bought packaged hotpot over the flavour to these soups. The sliced meat was the only good part of the meal but the beef was not.

I've had other dishes from this restaurant which were good but was very disappointed with the quality and quantity of food with the small portions. I regret wasting money on this order since I could have made better hotpot soup using packages I...
