Unfortunately my 5* review is no longer holding at 5* We have been back several times (like at least 2 x month) after opening up since the pandemic. The last incident was the last straw with this place. The food service is slow, and had been getting slower over the months. This time they forget about our order and we sat there for 35 minutes as other people who came in after us (15 minutes or more) were served food before us. I reminded the waitress that we have been waiting 35 mins for 2 plates (45 crispy beef and 75 Thai Shrimp on the menu and boiled rice nothing very complicated)
Issue 1: Unfortunately another patron, reminded me that it's 'Spanish Time'. 😬 These people, he and his wife came in 15 minutes after us and they were enjoying there food of a mound of shrimp and 3 to 4 sushi rolls and had the nerve to tell us that we were disrupting the restaurant 🤯. As a friendly reminder to all: Mind you own business and keep comments to yourself especially when you don't know what you are talking about.
Issue 2: The waitress was making excuses for her forgetting to tell the kitchen as soon as she took our order to fire it up... It does not have anything to do with making food fresh to order, you forgot! It doesn't have anything to do with how many tables get seated at once, you forgot!
It would have been better for you to say you forgot and offered us a dessert to try and explain the workings of the restaurant business. Just acknowledge you forgot, apologize and get on with it. Trying to save face and telling me excuses is not good business no matter what country.
I'm giving you all these details because I know that sometimes restuarants have staffing issues. Here that is not the case.
Asia Garden is not the only game in town. Probably the same family owns them so the food quality will be good. We will try them out.
Oh lastly, to the righteous couple who seemed to have nothing else to do while stuffing their face with food. Please don't comment when you don't know the situation. Your brand of people think it's okay to make backhanded, under the breath, cheeky comments. Well it's not and you might come across a woman that doesn't take thoes types of comments lightly and give it right back. Happy Days ✊🏼
What a nice surprise! Asian Garden really stepped up their game. We stopped going because it seemed to is that the staff was crabby. However now what a turn around and a delightful experience. The waiter even poured our wine when we were running low. We love choosing Menu B as the value is exceptional and the quality...
Read moreWould not go here again. My partner and I decided to try out this restaurant last night as there are not many Chinese restaurants in that part of Fuerteventura (Corralejo). We ordered the duck pancakes for a start. The duck was lovely and crispy however the pancakes had a very strange salty taste which concealed the taste of the duck and sauce. I’m the end, I ate the duck and left the pancakes there as the salty taste was overpowering. We ordered the garlic chicken with egg fried rice. We were served a plate of battered chicken which was cut up into slices. The chicken was chewy and the batter was really salty. There was a little bowl of “garlic sauce” on the side. Our main dish looked like something from the kids menu. The egg fried rice was yellow (as if the chef had put a lot of food colouring into the rice). It had a strange taste which I can only describe as what dirty laundry tastes like with piles of salt to cover it up. Not to mention that the service was very disorganized as we dealt with three different waiters/ waitresses at the start. One to order drinks, another to order food and another that delivered the food. When we got back to our apartment approximately an hour later, both of us could not stop drinking water and we still couldn’t quench our thirst. My partner woke up in the middle of the night to get more water because he was so thirsty and we can only assume that it was the result of the amount of salt in the food we had eaten. I am really disappointed and I feel it’s necessary to leave this review to advise people coming to Fuerteventura to consider this review before eating here. I also want to add that we were totally unaware that this would happen because the restaurant has beautiful oriental interior and exterior (it looks really fancy) and there were lots of people eating here. I never would’ve expected the food to be so bad but they say don’t judge a book by...
Read moreWhat a shame! Dined here with family and friends on our holiday. Hubby has never been a fan of Chinese food but was convinced to go as there were alternatives available. Seated quickly, drink order taken quickly. All food ordered. Child's meal arrived before starter ( simple dish , chicken nuggets, arrived rather well done) but not a huge issue. Another member of the party's starter didn't arrive until all others had finished theirs. Annoying. Understand that some dishes take longer to prepare, but common sense would suggest that the starter that takes the longest to prepare is started first? Anyway ... Mains begin to appear. One order appears that is completely wrong. Person ordered a noodle dish and was presented with chicken skewers! Not similar in any way! This food taken away so correct order can be delivered. All diners eating apart from diner who ordered simple chicken dish as the chicken is really rubbery and chewy, plus the person waiting for their correct order. Servers came to clear plates as others were still eating. Rather rude in my opinion. Not asked if our meals were ok. One diner was leaned on 3x so plates could be moved! And this is all before diner with incorrect dish has had theirs replaced and whilst others still eating! This resulted in diner who received their meal last feeling rushed and hassled, leading to a panic attack. Issues were raised with a member of staff but when the bill arrived we were not offered any discount for the inedible meal or for the fact that meals were late. No apologies for anything either. Such a shame as some of the food was good, it was the poor service that really let the place down. Quite clearly a restaurant that wants to get as many people in and out as they can in a short...
