Where to start, wow was the food awful, worst dim sum I have ever had, literally tasted like cat food, I had to spit it out. I ordered 2 different dim sums both were rubbery and looked like cat food, one of them smelled and tasted like cat food. Also got the deep fried wontons, at least edible. For mains the royal lamb dish, nothing royal about this, I really could not distinguish what meat it was ! For R180 I felt so ripped off. The best thing about the order was the garlic fried rice.
This last Sunday evening I took a party of 5 to Chef Pon’s for dinner. There were only a handful of clients. I ordered the Green Chilli Lamb Curry. This dish came in a small bowl half filled with a thin green sauce that tasted as if it had been made from a standard supermarket packet soup spiced with chilli. The lamb was randomly cut, tough and gristly. The dish had no special element that I could associate with any Asian food. The overall food experience was very disappointing. The other dishes were all marginal as well. Perhaps their chef was not present that evening because any self-respecting chef could not have produced such food. The waitress was very pleasant but did not enquire as to our satisfaction.
Oh dear, what a disaster we returned here after an absence of probably two years we stopped going because the food was deteriorating and the restaurant was going through an upgrade after Saturday night we wondered what it was all about the food was reasonably good apart from the green curry which our friend left and could not eat but the rest were okayThe service was initially good the meet and greet part went well however we waited 1 1/2 hours for our food to arrive there was total chaos in terms of waiters not knowing if the food was being cooked or if it was just sitting waiting somewhere when it came it was cold not a brilliant night and would at this stage not recommended we will try Saigon next time we try Asian food
Visited for Supper this evening. They had no prawns and food was either too sweet or too Salty. Starters also came after mains. Apparently under nee ownership.
Please bring back the old menu, they have these new stuff on menu and were not even available for us to order. And the kitchen messed up with my dish which the waiter clearly noted. They’re busy renovating and constructed a bad taste of menu. Pricey for the quality you get, you will only get one prawn in your main! Something you get in the bottle, is poured into a glass beforehand. Bad
