Reviews for Lee Yuen Seafood Restaurant

07/06/2022 - D.D.
We've been going to Lee Yuen for decades, albeit out of the way and rather dingy, the service was good and food as good as you could get for Surrey area.
My 2022 Birthday dinner was utterly horrid. Service was non-existent. Seated, lengthy wait between dishes which were LADEN with MSG. The roast duck was dry (no juice) and must have starved to death! All bones. Almond chicken good, but loaded with MSG, from 1st bite a reaction.
Out of snow peas, so substituted beef with green beans. Dish arrived 30-40 mins. after others. COLD, not lukewarm, but fridge-cold,... even the plate served on was COLD! And the thick slabs of chewy beef saturated in MSG!!!
Brought to staff attention that food was cold.
NOTHING DONE (no offer to heat, nor any discount) So we packed food up (still hungry), paid and left. Within 1/2 hr. both of us were ill.
Worse food, service, dining experience and waste of $70 meal. Unless you have a high tolerance to food soaked MSG additive and the time for no service.... avoid Lee Yuen. Will never return.

It is Mothers Day 2019 and we order a very large delivery of food at 4.00pm for delivery at 7.00pm to give them a good head start. At 7.40pm I call them to ask where the delivery is, the answer I get is that they forgot it. We renegotiate a delivery for 8.30pm. At 8.00pm the restaurant calls me and says they have now closed the kitchen for home deliveries and are cancelling my order. This was how my wife's Mothers Day meal ended.

Bland. These people even have taste receptors?
