May Flower Chinese Foods — Restaurant in Oshawa

DON'T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!

We've ordered from here for years, but definitely not anymore...

First, the bag came saturated with liquid that leaked out from the chop suey. The paper bag fell apart and there was literally, half a cup of juice in the bottom of the surrounding plastic bag. Everything was a gross, soggy mess. Don't know why l thought things would get better...

Second, the chop suey itself was way overcooked - everything was limp with no crunch to any of the vegetables...it was definitely not made fresh. It had the texture of day old leftovers heated up in a microwave and literally tasted like a dirty, wet dish rag.

Third, the chicken balls were over cooked on the outside, a bit undercooked in the inside with some small, dry chicken bits. However, aside from the pre-packaged fortune cookies, this was the only edible part of the order.

Fourth...the sweet and sour sauce was like water. l could deal with that if l had to, but this??? It tasted like vinegary dish water...no sweetness or viscosity to it at all. Completely disgusting.

All in all, not a great way to ring in the new year with possibly the worst meal ever, but there it is. We used to be able to rely on Mayflower for delicious food, but there is definitely no commitment to producing quality food anymore. We won't be ordering from there again....

USED to be a loyal costumer for 6 years. Ordered in January and it took 2hours and 45 mins to arrive. By then I had already fed my family. Decided today to give them another shot. Before placing my order I asked for the wait time for delivery. They said 45 mins to an hour tops. That was at 4:15pm. The latest I could have the food arriving was 5:30 as we needed to leave by 5:45. At 5:20 I called and was told it was on its way and would be here 10 mins. Called again at 5:30 and tried to explain that I was giving them another shot and at this point it was 15 mins past the latest time it should arrive. Person on the phone said "don't shoot the messenger". I said ok can I speak to the owner/manager. Was then hung up on! Called again at 5:45 to tell them I wouldn't be paying at this point (they could at least let their driver know) and again asked to speak to the manager. Was told "the manager wouldn't be entertaining my call". Mother's Day dinner ruined. Incredibly disappointed. Such awful...

I wouldn't recommend ordering Chinese food over the new year holiday festivities.

The food seems extremely rushed and I actually recooked most of it the next day with Asian spices to make it more flavorful and authentic.

I'm not going to try and say bad things and it was very busy, however in my opinion, it was not worth it. I don't think this is specific to the Mayflower, because I tried ordering Chinese food from various restaurants and the demand at the time for New year's was extremely high. It may or may not be a contributing factor but I wasn't really thrilled with the product. The only reason I give it three stars out of five is it because I was able to reuse some of their foods and remake it. That's not an absolute loss...

P.s. the fortune cookies didn't make much sense either.... It told me to buy more Chinese food to get more...
