May Garden Chinese - Dartmouth

I’ve been to this restaurant several times and had fairly good experiences, but got incredibly sick last weekend after eating here, and am still ill. After reading similar reviews I felt compelled to post. Obviously something is going wrong in the kitchen.

Honestly not bad.The ordered a few dishes, egg rolls, hot and sour soup and a black bean beef dish.The egg roll was good, well filled and reasonably priced. The roll was crispy but not hard.The hot and sour soup was excellent. Had BBQ pork slices in it and lots of wood ear. It had a good tang!The black bean beef stir fry. This was ok, the ratio of peppers and onion to beef was a bit much. The portion size was good but really could use more beef and less peppers. The black bean sauce was excellent though, salty good blackbean!Service was top notch! They were quick and courteous, and exceptionally thoughtful. They brought us spare soup bowels to share and seperate plates for us to share the dishes.Interior was very good, felt like an older chinese restaurant, but otherwise clean and well spaced. The fish tank at the centre of the restaurant was also a nice touch.Parking, it's all street parking in the area but that is par for the course as it's downtown.

Worst place to eat food. A place well know for instant explosive diarrhea Food Poising). I hope the relevant authorities take some action on it.Not recommended at all.

Food was not as good as said by others. Food was cooked well but bland and not much flavour, beef in rice dish was very tough. Likes texture of meat egg roll but again very bland; not much

I went into the Portland street location to submit a resume today. after greeting, the first question I asked was if they were currently hiring, and the Asian lady rudely dismissed me and told me to go away. I was shocked and asked if she’s the owner and she told me not to even bother.I’m pretty sure if I was there to buy food, she wouldn’t talk to me that way .
