Yesterday we went to Le Du for lunch after a walk around town. We ordered the Peking noodles and both the steamed and fried dumplings. We deliberately ordered the Peking noodles because this has no peanuts on it as it says on the board and on the menu. Lo and behold our peking noodles came sprinkled with peanuts on top. When we asked if those were peanuts the chef denied it but the cashier was kind enough to double check to ask a second time. The chef argued with the cashier telling her that we did not ask for peanuts to be removed but we didn’t have to because on the board and on the menu it does not say it contains peanuts. The chef then started banging the plates, and pots showing his annoyance took the bowls of noodles to throw in the garbage, violently dropped the bowls in the sink and told the cashier to return our money because he will not make us a new one. We returned to our table with our dumplings thinking and hoping he will still make our noodles but no! As we waited and tried to eat our dumplings which by the way is too spicy (we did not order the spicy ones because we have kids with us), the cashier came back with cash on hand to return our money and said the chef does not want to make a new one. How rude and how disappointing. Definitely do not recommend this place unless they change the chef. He was not a...
Read moreI’ve been coming to this LeDu for a few years now and have brought friends here. This year I have noticed that the quality of the dumplings have unfortunately gone down. Still, i enjoyed the noodles and went here again today. Around noon, we ordered 2x the Peking Bowl, which my kids and I had enjoyed before. When it was ready, we were surprised that it had peanuts on top. My kid and cousin who were with me are both allergic to peanuts, and so we asked if the peanuts can be taken out. First the chef said that there was no peanuts. Then the cashier confirmed that they were actually peanuts. Next, chef said that peanuts were specified in the ingredient list on the menu (it was not, and the cashier confirmed we were right). Chef acted really annoyed and was banging pots around. And finally, he refused the cashiers‘ request to make us new bowls. In front of us, he told the cashier to give us our money back for the bowls. I asked the cashier to talk to the chef while we wait for our bowls by our table. She later came and apologetically gave us our money back, saying that the chef refused to make us our order. This was just crazy! I understand now why the usually full place was empty around noon. I‘m so sorry I wasted my time there today. I’m definitely not going back...
Read moreThe noodles from the noodle bowl were seasoned so well that i enjoyed them raw too. Overall a good, mild dinner with a good taste. I also got the glass noodle side dish, refreshing, but with a tiny bit spicy aftertaste. I also got the pure vegan dumplings (green) and they were disappointing because the filling wasn't seasoned and even with the sauce, it didn't bring out much taste. If I come again, I would take noodle bowl.
Service wise: no one greeted us, nor told us what to do (order at cashier, take menu from them, nothing) I was confused at first and the menu was tinily printed somewhere unreadable and then I found folded ones to read up close. The cashier was nice though. The principle is you order at cashier, get an alarm and get the food, when...
