I came especially for the Bo Bo Chicken, so I’m not familiar with this dish and as soon as I arrived I told them this is my first time here and asked them to explain how it’s eaten... I communicate in Chinese with the lady and she acted if I know everything already... she didn’t tell me the Bo Bo Chicken are eaten cold... And I pretty much had to watch others eat to get my way around it... and there’s more... ????????♀️
The Bo Bo Chicken is not freshly made! They have it in a bowl with the chili, it’s been sitting there already since I arrived then you won’t know if it’s made this morning or yesterday or what? The bowl and the food in the sticks aren’t covered by plastic wraps or anything, so a fly could have dipped in without anyone knowing! Or the food is probably covered in dust!! The lady gave me a plate and she said the food in the bowl is shared, so whoever comes in and sit and eat straight away. So what she means is you share a bowl of food with loads of strangers...
Honestly I’m little bit disgusted at sharing food with strangers and I’m not sure if that’s how it really suppose to be?... because the last time I had Bo Bo Chicken at the Albany store, it was completely different! The food was freshly made there and it’s eaten cooked and warm. Although both restaurants are called Chengdu Taste, I was told they’re not owned by the same people.
Sorry I had to give it 1 star but it was overall just not up to standard for me, the food tasted average, the environment was really bad and overall it was not a great experience.
That’s all, will not return.
