Restaurang Lai Wa — Restaurant in Göteborgs Stad

Don't go here. Got given the wrong dish which was clearly microwaved and got food poisoning. They charge €1 for tap water. Unwarm welcome.

We came because of the 4.1 star average reviews, were met with unwarm welcome, the place had several older regular customers and we as newcomers were not made to feel welcome. I ordered Lemon chicken and was given Szechuan Chicken. Okay fine, I didn't mind. The food was delivered suspiciously quickly and was very salty.

The waitress went to the toilet and after that she put hand lotion all over her hands and then went to serve a bowl of soup to some other customers (fingers dipped...

Shocked how high this place is rated. The food was horrendous. I took a friend visiting gothenburg there and was truly embarrassed. We ordered something with shredded beef and pork ribs which came fried in some batter. I had never even seen battered pork ribs before. It was so heavily covered it was hard to even taste the meat.

The sauce was bland and salty. And vegetables barely cooked. One of the waitresses is also the cook and was very displeased by the fact that we didn't like our experience. Overall probably my worst experience with Chinese food and I have eaten in several establishments in several countries and a huge lover of Asian...
