Darda Seafood Restaurant — Restaurant in Milpitas

We used to have a great experience at this restaurant until 2021 where we started noticing drastic changes. My entire extended family has been coming here for more than 25 years since we were never able find a better Halal Chinese restaurant in the Bay Area. The food used to taste excellent and came out quick and fresh. Our standard orders are the Three-flavored Fried Rice, Three-flavored Chow Mein, Honey Walnut Shrimp, Beef Noodle Soup, Salt & Pepper Fish, Chili Chicken with Garlic, and Kung Pao Beef.

During our last visit though, we found the food to be quite greasy and significantly less in quantity and quality. Furthermore, the waitress brought us an incorrect item that we didn’t order. When we kindly said this wasn’t our order, she kept insisting that nobody else ordered it but us; repeatedly trying to defend herself. She did eventually replace the item with what we ordered, but the whole scene was just embarrassing and such a mood spoiler given that the people around us could clearly hear her frustration on a fault that wasn’t ours.

Later on, we noticed that our bill was higher than expected. We asked for the itemized receipt but they only gave us the receipt with the total amount. To our surprise, we found that the restaurant had added an 18% Service Charge to our bill without any notification. When confronted, the lady at the counter said that “DINE-IN” means an automatic 18% Service Fee is charged to the bill regardless of whether it is one person or ten people.

Honestly speaking, our entire family thinks that their food quality and customer service is getting worse by day. On top of that, there is the default 18% Service Charge that makes us think twice before walking into the restaurant. If you plan to visit this place for dine in, please be aware that 18% of the total amount (including tax) is already added as a service charge as your bill, and that too for one of the worst services you will ever get at a...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Darda Seafood Restaurant in Milpitas, and I have to say that it was a truly outstanding experience. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant, which was tastefully decorated and impeccably clean.

I started my meal with the green onion pancakes, which were crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The pancakes had a delicate texture and a subtle onion flavor that was enhanced by the accompanying dipping sauce. They were a great start to the meal and left me eagerly anticipating the rest of the dishes.

Next up was the Chicken Chow Mang, which was simply divine. The dish consisted of tender pieces of chicken, stir-fried with vegetables in a rich and savory sauce. The flavors were perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of spice and sweetness. The chicken was cooked to perfection, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp. It was a truly delicious and satisfying dish.

The Chicken Chilli was another standout dish. The chicken was cooked in a spicy, tangy sauce that was bursting with flavor. The dish had just the right amount of heat, and the chicken was perfectly tender and juicy. The sauce was deliciously addictive, and I found myself savoring every last bite.

Finally, I tried the beef broccolis, and it was the perfect way to end the meal. The beef was tender and flavorful, and the broccoli was perfectly cooked. The sauce was rich and savory, and it tied the dish together perfectly. It was a great way to balance out the spicier dishes and provided a satisfying and comforting end to the meal.

Overall, I would highly recommend Darda Seafood Restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere is inviting, and the service is friendly and attentive. Whether you're a fan of seafood or just looking for some delicious Chinese cuisine, this restaurant is definitely...

Response

Wow. I post a review that says your manager should stop yelling at the staff and creating a negative environment and your response is to say that I am a rival restaurant? Look at my reviews and you'll realize that I almost always give good reviews and that I have no affiliation with any restaurant. I could have written a lot worse stuff about an eyelash in my noodles but left that out

Did you ask any of your staff if the event didn't happen at 5:25pm on Friday, March 29? Why didn't you say that this behavior is unacceptable. Maybe you are part of the problem. Maybe this should be a 1 star restaurant. I definitely not...
