Fulin Restaurant — Restaurant in Quesnel

They claim to sell prawns. They showed me the box that the prawns come out of and on the label it says, Medium Shrimp, they deep fry this with pancake batter and supposedly turns from shrimp to prawns just magic. I told her she should go to Safeway look in the freezer where they keep Prawns and Shrimp a d just look at the difference She told me she cannot read English, and I said she only had to look at them to see the difference, it says Prawns on their Menu , do not be deceived , the box that they get their prawns from says Shrimp on it. She went in the back and brought out a box from the freezer opened it with a knife and said see prawns. I asked her to turn the box around so that I could see the label, she did so and on the label in big blue print it said shrimp, with the word Medium written beneath the word Shrimp. For 12 Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Pork (not boneless) and a bowl of Rice ( was supposed to be chicken chow mein) it was $55.00. We asked for our money back and was given $40.00 back on our debit card and were told never to come back there again, really, I replied who the he'll would want too, and advised her she could be sued for false advertising saying she is selling Prawns when it is actually Shrimp she is selling people, anyone wanting easy money, there it is for you, I cannot be bothered. 2nd worst Chinese place that I have eaten at in my 70 years on this...

Very 'westernized' chinese food. If you want decent chow mein, seriously do yourself a favour and try the house chow mein on crispy noodles. Very good. Almost all the other chow mein dishes involve just the basic fare of bland, soft steamed egg noodles with a small amount of bland chicken...or pork..or something with some sauce. This isn't a knock against Fulin Restaurant. It seems this is the normal way alot of dishes in central B.C. are done. As soon as you leave the lower mainland/fraser valley, chinese food quality and care seems to take a downturn. The only reason our friends and family can think of is the lack of competition. If you serve average food in greater Vancouver, you seriously risk going out of business. In a town where you have between 1 and 4 chinese restaurants...you maybe don't need to put quite as much effort in to wow the patrons that darken your doorway? Anyways, this isn't a direct shot at Fulin. They do have some good dishes, just don't expect...

This would be my 2nd favorite Chinese place in Quesnel, after Dragon gate. The staff I find to be nice. The food is delicious and the prices are good. Plate size is good, but I don't think quite as big as Dragon Gate. The main thing it lacks in is the atmosphere and decor, it feels kinda dark in there oftentimes and the decor isn't very nice. But overall I still find it a pleasant place to eat and it's definitely worth eating at (especially on Monday when Dragon...
