Golden Lotus Chinese Food — Restaurant in Vaughan

I usually don't give bad reviews, but over the summer, me and some friends and family visited Toronto and was looking for something to eat. We saw this place and decided to go. The line wasn't too long and soon we was at the front of the line. The hostess said the table would be set up for us to eat. Then, she totally forgot all about it and the wait was over 20 minutes long, and we were still at the front of the line! People started getting impatient and PAYING THE HOSTESS OFF to get seated first. That made the wait even longer! We then started to get angry and asked when our table was ready and the hostess said she thought we were doing the buffet. We never said that, so where did she get that from? We started arguing, well not really me and 2 other friends of mine because we didn't want to get into the argument. Then we finally got seated. I was already thinking that I would rate this one star, but since the food was really good, I'm giving this 2. I, personally, think that this restaurant would be my last resort for...

well, where to start. Ill just start in general, food does not taste fresh. It seems like most is pre-made and just heated up in a wok and served. The egg rolls have hardly any filling in them, mostly air and salty! wow they are salty. The Special Fried Rice... was terrible. Rice is mushy, the Pork they put in it is actually just chunks of pork fat. Next, the texture of the meat, the chicken in the Chop Suey is very odd, combined with how bland it was made it unedible. The beef and broccoli was similar, the texture of the beef is just off. We bought 5 different dishes and the only one that was ok (just ok) was the Chow Mein. For the $73 we spent, we should have gone to Mandarin...

I should have listened to Josie when i read his comment but as you know sometimes people over react. NOT THIS time. I ordered General Tso chicken well atleast I thought I did. It was sweet first of all ( I was expecting spicy ) and it was like eating sponge candy. No chicken. As bad as that was the chicken fried rice was even worse. HOW. I will have to say i will NEVER order from there again and would have to vote that it was the WORST food that I have eaten. Do yourself a favor STAY AWAY. I wouldnt even give it 1 star but i guess you have to get atleast 1 which is crazy. I would give it a NEGATIVE rating if I could. I hate maybe 1/4 most likely less of it before throwing it away....
