Mandarin Restaurant — Restaurant in Nottingham

Food was amazing, the service not so much. 14 of us booked well in advance and came for a birthday meal. Not only was the tables not together for us to sit together (we had to ask) but the servers were rude and stroppy. I work in hospitality, and I know one bill for 14 split equal ways would be easier for you, however this is not feasible all of the time. When we explained that we was paying in groups of twos we were greeted with snappy comments and moans about it being made “difficult”. The comments made to people in our group were uncalled for and very unprofessional. Not only this, the last people to order got theirs first & by the time other food had come out most people had finished eating. Again, when this was mentioned we were spoken to awfully. I wouldn’t mind, but your restaurant was empty by the time we were eating. You wasn’t busy. We came here due to it being my partners brothers favourite place, he died this year. We was celebrating my partners birthday & as her brother isn’t here its an emotional time. We was trying to ensure she enjoyed her birthday so got everyone together for a meal, yet the service we received put a dampen on it,...

I attached the photos in case anyone wants to call and shut down this place because I do not have the energy or time to deal with these people. Chinese customers are seated first, waited for food for 2 hours while we watched everyone else that came after us order, eat and leave. After asking every waiter we found about the food through this torturous 2 hours of watching people seated after us eat and us pushing back our entire day’s plan, the food arrived 2:30 hours later and the chicken was fully raw. I mean Salmonella raw. Fun part? Every chicken dish. Broccoli and mushroom dish was horrendous it felt like slimy booger covered raw vegetables. The rice was okay I mean it’s egg fried rice what so you expect… we returned every dish every single one. They made us pay £50 for 3 people so you (we were 5 but most dishes were returned) can tell if it is expensive or not for nightmare quality. If I started my illegal restaurant chain I would be far more successful than...

Food so bad it gave my boyfriend an existential crisis.

He and I got a Deliveroo order from here. The place is just down the road but took over an hour to arrive, and once it did arrive it came in three sad yellow polystyrene boxes.

His salt and pepper bean curd was the most miserable thing we have ever seen - think a few tofu cubes tossed in a box with some chopped spring onion. We both thought it was an absolute joke that it cost £9.80.

I had the dumpling and hors d'ouvres appetisers; again, miserable little servings and just four dumplings was enough to physically make me feel like I'd eaten something wrong.

We were both stunned we'd spent £28 on the privilege and both actually felt conned. The experience was bad enough for my boyfriend to actually reconsider his life choices up to the moment he opened that sad little box of bean curd.

Never been to the restaurant so I can't touch on that but definitely don't get food...
