De Chinese boot — Restaurant in Rotterdam

WORST experience EVER!!! Horrible disappointment, if given the chance I would give them -100 stars. This restaurant should be shut down and the staff banned from handling food forever.

Today I visited De ChineseBoot Restaurant, Parkhaven 21, Rotterdam 3016GM with my family, we had a special occasion and booked a table. Booking was easy, we found the location easily. There is parking for only 5 Euros per hour (normally in this type of restaurant parking is free). We had lamb, beef, fish, salad, melon and apple cake. We were extremely disappointed. I highly recommend you don't be fooled either, visit this otherwise interesting looking place, apparently the "cover" really does lie.

Beef is old (raw meat is brownish with red undertones), tastes like sole, dry and tasteless, Lamb smells more like goat than lamb, Fish, sushi and their fish stall is suicidal. Salads are a mix of old and too old with different shades in the natural color of celery. The desserts are too frozen and you have to wait 30-40 minutes for them to chill, but trust me you wouldn't want to wait.

We paid close to 90 euros for 3 people + 2.5h x 5 euros for parking to be left speechless by the poor quality and attitude of the staff after telling them we don't like eating expired food. We apologized and told them it was ok, however, we had to rely on others like us overdoing it and coming forward to warn in the reviews. Well.. After they saw that we wouldn't eat their spoiled food, they explained to us that the rules in the Netherlands were as follows: if you don't eat the spoiled meat and vegetables, you have to pay extra, if you complain about the quality, you are punished to stand with an unserved table, we ordered 2 fantas and green tea, they brought us glasses of sparkling juices..it looks like someone has spit in them.

We decided to leave after there was no apology or compensation and we were surrounded by the staff almost forcing us to pay for overspending (we didn't eat the spoiled food but otherwise we paid an envelope of 90 euros). things escalated i felt threatened i told them i was going to call the police and consumer protection agency and i would never step foot in their restaurant again they backed down and started insulting us in a foreign language and saying we are not welcome any i would returned to such...

Worst Seafood Buffet experience of my life! 😡For starters the toilet was filthy. De shushi was dry and most of the food was cold or Luke warm and tasted nasty! This is supposedly a seafood buffet, but there was no calamari, no crab, no lobster, no gumbo, no oysters in the buffet ( you had to pay an arm and a leg for for these separately. It’s really a random, mediocre Chinese food restaurant! The spare ribs had hardly any meat on them and were dry, as if they were sitting there the whole day! The fish that they did have available, were salmon and some cheap white fish for the wok only! Not to mention that their “free” soda drinks were the ZERO kind with the nasty after taste! They use the cheapest drinks and food for the buffet and dont refresh the the dishes. Horrible, horrible restaurant! They had fried small shrimps, which weren’t cut in the back and cleaned. Downright nasty! I will not recommend this restaurant to ANYONE, and Btw, there is no free parking after 18hrs PM in front of the building as they promise. One person outside told us you have to pay till 23hrs PM! They advertise as if they are a seafood restaurant but that’s a LIE! They are a hole in the wall, nasty chinese restaurant! The poor waitresses were somewhat friendly but looked as if they didn’t wanna...

We were in the restaurant upstairs for lunch. At our table there were little soup bowls but the chinese waitres put it away when she saw us. All the other people in the restaurant were asian guys so we were the only european humans there, that was a little bit wirde. The waitress was mostly unfriedly to us but she always smiled at the asian people. Maybe it's just our view but that was a bit like racism. Also the other guy had a different menu then us. For a large portion of noodles we paid like 20 €. Some dishes were funny f.e. shark-fin-soup or jellyfish. But, to say something nice, the restaurant had a pretty nice athmosphere and the noodles we had tasted quite good. All in all I think if you are an asian guy it's a beautiful restaurant for you but if you're not you shouldn't go there if you won't...
