Having been to King Tin before and been generally happy, and wanting something that would suit everyone, took my wife and grandson there for lunch buffet today.
It was never the cat's meow by any means, but acceptable. Well....
The selection was not particularly exciting. Most of the dishes had some version of the same gloppy sauce on them, and the hot and sour soup seemed to be on the same base. Food was mostly oversteamed. Various dishes ran out, and new things brought out in an apparently random fashion, so there was no consistent selection--chicken wings in batter came out for the first time just as we had finished and were heading out the door.... What we did have didn't taste particularly good. I should perhaps add that when they replenished the dishes, it was done in such a sloppy fashion that one had the impression of someone emptying the trash...
The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, either. Needs a serious facelift. I'd like to think we just happened to hit a bad time, but I'm not about to try it again to find out.
This has been our fav for chinese for the past 25 years or so. No more. The last few visits have not been good.At the dim sum the pepper steak was bad. Three times now the wait for dinner has been outrageous. We could even hear others commenting last Tuesday and the restaurant was not especially busy. We actually had finished, given up and were packing up the leftovers when the last dish was rushed out to our table. Eggplant with garlic and chilli, not a difficult dish. Thisscenario was being repeated at other tables as well. Our deep fried spicy squid was disgusting - Over cooked and like chewing rubber tires. I guess its eiother underdone mush or overcooked... The sweet and sour pork was SOUR - like sucking lemons. Our last dish took 70 mins to get to our table, long after the rice was pretty much cold. There is never an apology for this kind of thing either - We are finished with the King Tin. 3 strikes you're out.
Things have settled down again after James' marriage. We took friends out for dinner last Saturday night and we were very pleased. The food was excellent, the service impeccable and friendly, everone had a great time. Glad to see this great eating place is still on track.
For many years now, we've ordered their hot and sour soup and we've almost never been disappointed! It's perfect, especially on a cold winter day :)
My personal favourite is probably the pineapple chicken which is served in an unique style! It's sweet, but not too sweet yet it is still so flavourful. Yum, yum, yum!
We often do takeout but the times that we have dined in, I felt this restaurant is a great example of a family restaurant. Nothing to complain about and I definitely recommend a visit :)
This has been a favorite eating place of ours for the past 25 or more years. Lately they've gotten so sloppy, well, we've been disappointed too many times. Poorly cooked food, couldn't care less service from poorly trained wait staff, Warm water, sticky chopsticks, - Friday night they had a party in there. Still, if you're open for business, at least try to cook the food decently. The deep fried crispy squid was anything but crispy. It was an undercooked, pale, anemic, soggy, mushy mess. I complained to James (son of the owner) who just shrugged it off with a laugh. The Yang Chow rice lacked seasoning hence it was pretty tasteless. The General Chicken on rice was skimpy and not properly cooked. It should be slightly crispy and not soft and drowned in sauce... We've many times had to return a Dim Sum dish on other occassions... sometimes they credit you, sometimes not. The meal we had Friday night was almost $50. and it was disgusting. I guess things change. They have a new cook helping out - wish they would train him properly! If you look you will see my previous reiews give this place high scores. Things change.
