Ormeau Chinese Restaurant - PIMPAMA

We ordered the SPECIAL Fried Rice and were disappointed to receive a subpar dish with only 3 small pieces of chicken. The quality did not match the picture on the menu. The Lemon Chicken we ordered turned out to be chicken nuggets coated in breadcrumbs with a side of lemon sauce, which was unappetizing. The Chicken Omelette was flavorful, but finding eggshells in it was a major turn-off. Overall, this experience has turned us off from returning to this restaurant.

This neighborhood restaurant has inconsistent quality. My experience tonight was very disappointing. The steamed dim sims were rubbery and the sweet and sour sauce tasted watered down and unappetizing. The dish should have been sweet, sticky, and thick. The chicken was in large chunks and there were big slices of onion. I won't be in a hurry to come back as the chef needs to improve the quality of the meals for locals to want to return.

Norfolk is my regular Chinese takeout spot and usually the food is good. However, tonight's meal was incredibly disappointing. The wonton soup tasted like it was only seasoned with soy sauce, the chicken chow mein was bland with boiled chicken and noodles and no chow mein sauce. The shrimp special had prawn cutlets instead of prawns, and the rice was dry without any sauce. Another customer had to show proof of his phone order because it was not received. The phone system needs to be replaced as there were difficulties hearing and communicating with the staff. While every restaurant can have an off day, this meal was the worst I've ever had from them. I support local businesses, especially during the pandemic, but this $75 takeaway was not worth it and below their usual standard. It's unfortunate, but I don't think we will be ordering from them again in the future. This seems to be a consistent issue with the restaurant recently.

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for years and loved it 90% of the time. it makes me sad that the meals we had tonight were way below average. We had some wrong dishes and the food was completely different to what we have tasted before. Not sure if they have changed owners or cooks but it will be along time before we can eat there again. We hope it was a one off but sadly we wont be back to find out. :

Tried our local chinese again last friday. So disappointing again. Have had 2 good meals and 3 or 4 shockers. Our meal of sweet and sour chicken which when you envisage sweet sour sauce is thick and sticky with a great sweet sour taste. What we got was a watery pink coloured mess with masses of onions and np flavour at all. They must have had a sale on onions as the other dish of pepper steak was mainly all onions but the sauce was at least tasty. Come on guys lift your game and give us some gpod food to make us want to come back
