"I had eaten here a few times before and the food was good, however last time, I had to chase our orders and the manager came over and started shouting at me and insisted I told him whether he should sack his chef. Really unprofessional. However, last night, I thought we would go back. We arrived and were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and the same manager came over and said Im not sure when you will get your food! We asked what he meant. He said (in a very obnoxious and confrontational tone) We are very busy, what do you want me to do? Go and kick the chef? He started shouting and I simply asked if he could give me a rough idea of how long food would be. He got more angry and was shouting to the point where other diners were looking over. I tried to reason with him and said that we would wait but if he could ask the chef just to give us an idea, that would be great. His tone got even louder and he snatched our menus back from us. He said You better leave and then started on me, bringing up how I complained last time which was over 6 months ago. We were embarrased, astounded and felt so awkward. He ushered us out of the restaurant with everybody watching. We then went to Paprika Club and explained we were in a huge rush. Whilst I am a regular there, the restaurant was packed and they ensured we had a wonderful meal within 20 minutes. Been, you are an awful place and your manager is a joke. We will never return and I would urge others to steer WELL CLEAR!"

"STAY AWAY!!. It is very unlike me to leave a review but with the amount of stress Wai put me through. I most certainly don’t want this to happen to any other bride. It took Wai almost 2 months to get us a quote, and every time he said he would call back he never did. Throughout the year, we did everything he required from us. We discussed the menu, did the tasting and he set up a meeting with us at the venue to run through the final details where he did not even show up. Wai said he will go to the venue himself on another day to make up for it and will call at the same time to run through the final details instead but never called. Bear in mind we are now in January and still had not heard from him. Eventually I had to contact him again for an update where Wai told me everything went smooth at the venue and quote, “everything was all set to go.” I mentioned about amending the quote as numbers of guests changed and he said that we will have a final meeting 2 weeks prior to the wedding, and if I had any questions in between to contact him. So at this point you would think you can relax now until then as he assured everything is sorted. WRONG! Given he’s track record I decided to contact Wai earlier to book our final meeting which is where he told me that I was not booked with him and that he had another wedding booked now the day before mine?! He tried to blame me that he had not heard from me for a while so assumed I did not want to use he’s services. (Even though the proof is in our texts him telling me everything was set and we would talk again 2 weeks before the wedding) Makes absolutely no sense! Told him that he needed to refer back to our messages of what HE said. And instead of admitting he’s wrong, he would blame me instead. So after a whole year of planning, Wai had completely wasted our time with less than 1 month away from my wedding! I managed to find another caterer and found out this is not the first time Wai has done this to as my new caterer were having to also cater for another couple that Wai had messed up on. I also found out after through a mutual friend that Wai actually catered for a wedding in the past where mains did not come out till 10pm and again the couple being blamed for things rather taking responsibility. Finding a Chinese caterer for our wedding was difficult but it’s not worth the stress and him potentially not even turn up to your wedding seeing how forgetful he is and then blame you."

"Just back from my lunch. I read some reviews and initially thought some people were very hard to please given the number of very good reviews written, the restaurant was established over 50 years ago, so clearly in my head, must have been doing something right!. However now fully understand where these dissatisfied customers are coming from. I eat often in restaurants -lunch and dinner, what can I say. This is probably the worst meal I've eaten, the worst service ever and given the restaurant has been here well over 50 years, quite shocked at the calibre of the food and service which was zero!. On entering the restaurant we bumped into a guy on the stairs, who we thought was a customer. . He mentioned he was going out for a cigarette, entering the restaurant we wondered if there was any staff at all, no welcome whatsoever . To our horror the guy on the stairs was the guy who served us, totally unprofessional, extremely casual and not smart at all to be a waiter. He never said a word or offered any service at all. No simple thank you or any word was uttered, basically the food was dumped on the table! The meal, absolutely awful and the not of the standard from many years ago, when I used to go to the Rendezvous. Totally disappointed as our lunch was for a special occasion. Do these restaurants learn anything from these reviews, I'm not so sure. The meal was overpriced and definitely not value for money at £14.99. We certainly won't be returning!"
